Thread: Unraveling a Dream - Ventrue Style (ATTN Lazarus 9/1/09) Posted by Kathy Abromovich

Lazarus enters the establishment. He is in his typical brown and tan three peice suit and brown shoes. He looks around and heads for the bar area. He smiles once he arives and takes a seat. A news paper is there for him to take/ He opends it up to the business section and orders a bottle beer. The seat next to him is open. When the beer arives he smiles and puts his money on that table for the tender to take.

Maddalena looks up as another person enters, she is losing hope of finding her quarry. She sees, this time, that it is Lazarus. She quickly grabs her drink and walks swiftly to the chair next to him. Sitting down she leans over slightly and in a low voice says "I need to speak with you if you don't mind."

Lazarus dosent look away from his newspaper for a moment as he finishes his paragraph. He then would fold the paper gently and place it back down on the bar top to where the took it from. He smiled a little and looked at the new comer. "Im sorry I dont think I know you. So how could we have something to speak about."

He didnt mean for it to be rude if she would take it that way. Its just he didnt much care for strangers, and he had honestly no idea who this woman was.

Maddalena leans back looking quite confused. She looks him up and down and nods confirming this is the man she needs to speak with. "I applauded your speech to the rosy leader about not taking time to meet new people." She says this quietly, trying to gauge his response.

He rose an eye brow. he looked at her again and focused " Maddalena." He turns in his seat to give her his full attition. " I am very sorry Maddalena. The lighting in here is good for being alone and for the cattle to hook up with people compleatly out of there leagues. What can I do for you this fine Missouri evening?" He smiled slightly again to seem more appoligetic for his own ignorance.

Maddalena smiles with confusion. "I do not understand this... hooking up." She shakes her head. "But that is another matter completely. I would like very much to speak with you on a matter that is best discussed in private. Do you mind?" She seems to either be ignoring the fact that he didn't recognize her or she's already forgotten it.

He shook his head to her to signify a yes. "Of course. Where would you like to go for this conversation."

Maddalena stands with her glass, not even bothering to see if Laz is following her. She moves back to the table she had been sitting at earlier, tucked in a corner. She informs the waiter that they already have drinks and wish to be left alone. She sits down and waits until Laz is seated as well and the waiter is far away. "Excellent. Please understand that I am investing a great deal of faith into your ability to remain discreet with the things I am about to tell you. I understand family loyalty and all that, but this is not something the citizenry at large need to be gossiping over. That said, Father told me you had a dream recently regarding the item that Tino bought." She again waits to see his reaction.
