JT looks Emma over quietly, his face a mask of thoughtful contemplation. He follows the Brujah Keeper to Art's bus. Art was an affable enough cainite. A fact that made his mein that much more fearsome. That a creature with such a baffoonish demeanor could become a city's Elder Gangrel meant that he ruled without intimidation, without base threats, but with the sheer ferocity of his martial prowess. James could respect a creature that could put forth such a mask over his true nature.

He looks back to Emma as he starts climbing into the Van. "As do I.."

James slips into the van and closes the door. He settles into his seat and looks at Art. "Not really. But there is little choice in the matter at this point."

"Thank you, Art. I appreciate you're standing in as a Neutral party in this."

"No problem man. I'm glad to help out." Art pulls out onto the street and turns left. "Could you hand me the suit jacket hanging back there?" At the first light he makes a left and puts the suit jacket on over his tye dyed shirt. At the next light he makes another left and at a third light he does the same until he pulls back in at Bacchus.

Turning off his bus he smiles at JT and then hops out. Before JT can ask he explains, "If Red knew he was inside, we never would have gotten her to leave. Come on..." With that Art will lead JT into Bacchus.

JT nods, sliding out of the bus, his shoes crunching the pavement below. He follows the old Gangrel into the club, barely even acknowledging the bouncer that waves them in.

Inside the club, on the second floor, a man sits alone at a corner booth. Dark hair and eyes, a custom tailored suit, clearly from egypt or the surrounding area of the world... a man waits. Art wanders up to him and doesn't hesitate to extend his hand.

"Good of you to meet with us on such short notice."

"Not at all Mr. Morgan," the man's accent is clearly indicative of the east coast United States, despite his looks. In particular, Boston. "It's always my pleasure to visit with you. And this must be the gentleman you spoke of." The man in the suit extends his hand towards JT. "It's good to finally meet you... I, am Razor."

JT strides in quietly. As they push through the crowd, JT steadies his emotions.

Fear is foolish here. What will happen will happen.

He ascends the steps behind Art and steps out from behind the old Gangrel at the table. He reaches out and takes the Setite's hand.

"Please, call me JT. And the pleasure is mine." James looks to the seats of the booth. "May we join your table, mr Razor?"

Reply by DeAnna Ross

"JT." He smiles and motions to the other seats. Art immediately takes a chair. "Please call me Razor. Mr. is so formal and while I am dressed for this location ... I certainly don't think of myself in such terms." He waits for both men to sit before asking, "So... what is it I can do for you JT?"

James sits with a smiling nod after Art does. “Specifically, I would like to inquire as to the item you will be auctioning.”

“My….. Employer… has expressed interest in the item, and we would like the opportunity to examine it before preparing the resources that may be necessary.” He states as he pulls out what looks like an appointment book from his breast pocket.

Reply by DeAnna Ross

"So you'd like a private showing of the item? And... if I allow such a thing to take place, what sort of examination will you be conducting exactly and what... if any prepartions... will need to be made for you to do this?"

Art plays with the plastic grapes display on the table as if he's considering taking one to eat while the two kindred talk out their arrangement.

JT considers the question a moment and then nods. "Of course. It will be a visual examination." JT states simply, writing notes as he answers. "I will need to hold the item for just a moment. We will agree to reasonable precautions you may employ to protect the item. We can begin the examination now, if you wish." JT looks back to Razor with a blank, but almost expectant gaze as he closes the appointment book and setting it down.
