However much money he just flashed her, WIlliam can see her eyes light up. Ah, the rake in her has always enjoyed the good things in life. It is clear that the money he is offering is.. impressive... Fortunately, CC hides it better from NEc himself.

"mmn not an insulting amount, I'll admit" She shrugs

An eyeroll; she can see it, Necropsis? Well.....

"It a fucking compliment" He says and puts it away "I want the staff and anything else he got."

"Enjoy your martini... I'm going to consult."

The boggan eases back just a bit and if beckoned, follows CC. One look might suggest why.

CC does beckon

and soon she and 'Emerson' are together out of ear shot. "Okay.. this is interesting"

He insists on the office and the door locked. "Keep an eye on the monitors. He could change, get in here. How is it interesting?" He watches monitors as well.

Nec looks up at one of the 'hidden' cameras, and waves. It's like he has somoene who deals in tech in his life.

"How is it not? Like it or not, that odious little fellow is a player, and I don't mean with the ladies. He's got a power base, and connections... and here he is willing to pay a FORTUNE for that cane"

Oh dear, the little dollar signs are up in her eyes

"Dearest, I can -get- money...." a trifle "Do you know him?"

"Benjamin Franklin? Yes.. he's a friend of mine" large doe eyes, then a smile "Okay okay. I'll stop that. And I've heard of him yes. Works in the same area Jessica King does. I try to keep tabs on that family so I can keep tabs on YOU"

"I will have you know I have stayed well clear of her for you."

"I noticed. Thought about getting you a cookie for that, but feared you might find it patronizing" A kiss on his forehead " I can't give him the cane anyway"

"No? You will recall you refused to let me attend you at that time...."

"I don't recall" A sip of her own martini with one hand and a hand wave with the other. "Caesar gave the cane up to Kitten. I wonder if she'd give it back? PROBABLY not"

"I doubt it." Dry. "Good grief." Watching Necropsis. "I wonder why he wants it."

"It enhances chicanery, particularly along lines of lust and desire. He's a pimp... So that's reason enough. Still, I don't think he's crazy. Tantalus was crazy. This fellow is driven. "

"Mmm? Do you know by what?"

"He's got a ..well, I'm not sure wife is the right word.. but ..oh my " A troubled look

"What?"

"He has a daughter? a baby" He can watch her heart melt by looking at her eyes "What if he's doing things for her? To give her the life he never had? Oh maybe we should help the little prick?"

"How on earth can you possibly know that?"

"Fenix. I've been spyinng on it. I have a contact or three"

"I have -told- you I stay away from there! Or are you looking for a next vacation spot, I'm told the beaches are lovely!!" It is harder and harder for him to watch the monitors.

"Actually, I did consider it.. dangerous city but nothing we couldn't handle. And yes I know you do and I'm grateful but when I STARTED spying I didn't know you would behave so now I'm stuck...honestly, the King family are kind of like my soap opeas now.. or telanovelas as they'd say in Mexico." A sigh "WILL Jessica finally open up completely to the dangerous and alluring Duff? Will Duff change his ways enough to work with her, not inspite of her? And so on."

Damn it! The pooka is... oh , there he is. Helping himself to another drink

William takes at her before snatching his attention back to the monitors and.... oh. Good. He mutters grumpily under his breath.

"So.. I guess I tell him the cane is destroyed. I don't know that it is... but best to get his interest off that, and instead maybe consider offering him something else. Yes.. the gemstone. He'll like that"

"You can't possibly believe Kitten destroyed it."

"Of course not... " she scoffs "If Kitten found the ring from Lord of the rings and saw the volcano next to her? LEt's just say All your bases are belong to Mordor. She's a hoarder."

"Hmmph."

"He is obviously not Gwydion but will he believe you?"

"Depends on how good he is? this could be the first real challenge in weeks. The real probblem is that boon of his kiths you can't always tell you know?"

"Yes. Well. Keep an eye on him." William goes to his desk and retrieves a black leather case, checks the darts within, preps them and pockets them.

"Oh goodness.. he's gotr a kid... and you want ot dart him... oh by the way, he has darts too. The hat." She moves out to go talk to Necropsis

He huffs after her.

"Let's talk shop... the cane is gone, utterly destroyed.. but your money did interest me. I have in my posession, a stone... that allows your dominant court nature to influence others. Let's say you were Seelie? ANd a private reclusive person... it might infleunce others to share those values on top of their own, but mostly while in your presence. Interested?"

The boggan puts himself in a spot to defend CC if called to it.

he raises a a brow at the 'coming at you hard and fast' offer, but then tilts his head, "Yo, Les Miss Trollop.. Far be it from me to cast you know, fucking aspirations... but something something seems off.. you like the bling. Hey... but 'utterly' kind of vague and here you were being all precise and like so.. I'm wondering if you hiccuped"

He's good! Reads people very well, even a pro like CC

CC tilts her head "Let's just say it's as good AS utterly and leave it that."

"I dig... and your stone sounds lameass but I MIGHT take it offer hands... of course I'd have to know things, like price, efficiency, who has the cane now?"

CC smiles "Twenty thousand dollars would be cheap. It's a subtle magic but exposure can make it take deeper roots, and little man do not even think I'm going to let your little sithlord mind games touch me. Please. I've been pookaed by professionals."

Nec scowls as his attempt fell flat.

He clears his throat.

"What up, Gentleman Rollybug..or whatever it was she wanted. I forget." NEc says

"It seems he's not interested, let us not detain him further...."
