“……….“

“You have something to say?”

[grecoromandracula]

@ the Velvet Club

[masterjacob]

@ Night. Above Ground.

“I’m listening…“

[grecoromandracula]

“Are you? I’ve been saying this for months...”

[theworkofemilio]

“Why do I get the feeling you wish to ask me something?”

[grecoromandracula]

“Do you think I am overreacting about the rats?”

“I’ll admit it is a tad filthier than places I’m accustomed to,” he said looking round the alley with an expression of disgust that he wiped away when his gaze returned to her, “but alas I can be a slave to my curiosity sometimes,”

“So,” he clasped his hands behind his back and looked down at the body, “What did they do to deserve it?”

Petra arched her brow and stalked toward him, intending to make him uncomfortable.

“They’re rats... They throw fits and sneak around.”

notsohonourablegeorge:

“Careful love, you could poke someone’s eye out with those things. And as sexy as pirates are I don’t fancy trying to pull off an eye patch,”

“Why are you in an alley behind a club?”

“Even warlocks should be smarter than that.”

“For a group trying to win back their business… You’re doing a shit job.“

“Who said I was trying to win them back?”

“………“

Petra stared at him for a minute, before flipping a sai over and offering the handle to him. “Take it.”

notsohonourablegeorge:

“I’d say it’s a good job I’m not a rat then,”

Petra spun in a circle at the voice, and held the sais out ready to attack.

“You know you have some anger issues right?”

“You know you all have some laziness issues, right?”

“The rats invaded and killed our people. You should want to fight.”

[grecoromandracula]

Behind the Velvet Room

“The next thing that these run through will be a rat.”

He smiled, “Perhaps it is that very desire to rise that inevitably leads to our down fall,” 

“It could be worse, could it not? Besides, I have a feeling we have not quite been put into retirement just yet,”

“Perhaps it is.”

“It would be a nice thought. I’m not sure if I’m quite convinced.”

[grecoromandracula]

herecomessven:

“And that doesn’t warrant my suspicions?“

“I suppose that depends on if you trust Jacob’s opinion of people.”

theworkofemilio:

“Speak for yourself,” he said lightly, “Rome has always been about politics - before the fall of the empire, after it’s fall, running into my time and all the way through it,”  he gestured an imaginary timeline in the air in front of himself, “and there is no politics without ambition. Although we were far more content to live life in the shadows,” he admitted, once again glancing at the window. “We are two old crones,” he joked with a smile

“You Romans...” Petra let out a low chuckle in her throat, letting her head fall back to hang over the chair back. “Is this my retirement? A crone sent to live her days out by the sea?”

masterjacob:

“Yeah. What’s up, Petra?“ Jacob gave everyone a finally look then followed after Petra. 

“There’s a friend in Madrid. He doesn’t want his name used because of our previous problem.” She gave a pointed look to the ground. “He can have the windows done in 2 weeks. Shipped and all.”

[grecoromandracula]

herecomessven:

“From what I heard you were loyal to Rhys.“

“Does it matter?“

“Loyal until a certain point.”

“Yes.”

“Like they are still living in the mundane world. It most definitely is a sign of their youth - or perhaps our age?” his lips quirked slightly into a fleeting smile, “They are still desperately clinging to their humanity even if they don’t realise it,” he added. Looking back from the window, he turned his gaze to her again, “Perhaps but this is not the time of our ancestors. Much has changed since then,”

“Perhaps it’s us...” She echoed back with a small smile. “I’m not sure if I want that. The world of our ancestors was much easier to navigate. Less politics, more instincts.” Petra crossed her legs with a sigh. “But we also did not have such ingenuity. Or ambition.” Her hand twirled aimlessly towards the window. “Now we sound like two old crones.”
