Thread: A totally unexpected request

Mackenzie stands there reading the post several times before it starts to sink in. Roland, the Lasambra....She pulls down the note and debates on whether to respond. She opens her phone and then closes it. The curiousity waring with her common sense. She had warned people to keep her away from him because she wasn't sure how well she could watch her mouth. With the current situation going on it was even worse timing.

With a slight groan, she flips open her phone and sends back a text.

Where exactly am I meeting you?

An answer comes back after only a few moments, "Where ever and when ever you would like. I have no preferance."

The text comes back quickly.

I am at the museum. I am available now if you are.

Stepping out of the shadow, darkness without light, a shap begins to form... into that of a man.

Moving into the light of the street lamp, "Then here too am I, ready for conversation."

A pleasant, but sligtly erie smile across his face.

Mackenzie watches him appear. Mackenzie just stares at him for a moment before responding. She gestures to a bench. "Shall we?"

Mackenzie sits casually and cocks her head. "You wanted this meeting and I must admit that I'm curious as to the reason. Perhaps you can enlighten me?"

Stolling over to the bench and taking a seat, still with that same smile on his face.

"Must I only pick one reason? Seems a waist to have only one reason. I guess if I had to chose one, it would be curisoty as well. You see, most of your clan that I pull that little trick with apon my first meeting them usually results in much hissing and threats."

Raises and eye brow at the thought, "Eather you did not realize the level of insult or are far and away more controlled then the typical example of your clan. And perhaps even more intelegent then usually found of your blood ."

After a moment of contimplation, he shrugs, "I find that I must know. And then, of course there is the desire of our prince that we, get along. So too am I here, in other words to clear the air, if nothing else."

"I also like to test people. It not only shows their own weakness to themself, but perhaps helps them learn to go beyond it."

Smiles again, "Or I'm just a glutton for punishment."

A smile begins to creep across Mackenzie's face as Roland speaks.

Mackenzie lets out a laugh at his last statement. She leans slightly towards him as she speaks, her blue eyes twinkling. "I did not misunderstand the level of insult, but I am usually well in control of my emotions." She smiles and shrugs. "So curiousity got the best of both of us. It would be good for us to get along, but it is not necessary."

Her face grows serious. "I am curious why you choose to bait the tigers? Unless you just enjoy the frothing at the mouth?"

Cocks his head to the side, "Why not?"

Shrugs, "Sometimes these urges just come over my to 'bait the tiger'. After you've been around for as long as I, you'll find that sometimes you must go to extreams to find something new and exciting."

Smiles, "And as you can see, it worked. Now the question is, where too from here." Raises and eye brow at the thought.

Mackenzie smiles. "Indeed, where to? I can understand the need for something new and exciting. I am curious what you do with the other families to get them to react? Or was I the first test subject?"
