He gives her a look half-chiding and half-mournful. "They are trained, and available."

"What would CC say if she knew you were depopulating Club Security?"

"For your sake? She would have -me- take a shift at the door." Sincerely.

Okay, that makes her laugh "I'm gonna get buried in little booties when the time comes aren't I?"

"I believe there are hats as well."

A soft groan, "Okay, fine. I'll take Hugh. I can intimidate him"

A genial smile. "Excellent. I will take care of the 0ther matter as quickly as I can."

"Well, I could be chasing shadows" She shrugs, unaware of how fitting the term is

"I think you have an excellent sense of these things."

"Now, will you gather a few things and stay at my hotel until I can make travel arrangements? Overnight, perhaps."

Dubious, then "Okay. Sure. Warning... I might order the expensive stuff from room service. And yes I'm aware they are probably under orders NOT to bring liquors"

"Oh, they are under no such orders from me." He assures her. "And you shpuld consider yourself with carte blanche. I do recommend you abstain, of course."

"I know and I do," she says "No reason to play roulette on this. ... but that black angus steak is on the menu"

"Enjoy. " with a wicked grin. "It is quite good. Gather up your things and I'll drive you over."

"I know how to drive, you know ? but fine. Just remember if this leads to anything useful to put it as another check in my box"

"A check, and perhaps something sparkly?"

"Mm I meant as in A note of how useful I am, not actual money but I wouldn't say no either. Thanks" A nod "I'll go get my stuff together."

He finishes his drink while he waits, and settles her at the Arms before going to the club for Hugo and CC.

Oh yes... it will be done.

A leanhaun... near her apartment. Talk about BEGGING to be dealt with

(End scene.. for now)

CC gets the news, of course, "A sidhe? that close? To her apartment?

"Yes." Grimly, bringing CC a drink that is brown and has fumes.

"She's tucked away at the Arms, charging up room service. Hugo will go with her to protect her on a trip to New Orleans, her choices. We..... are going to clean house.

"This is a face that is not arguing with you" She nods "That's far too close for comfort, and if what she is says is dead on, we're talkng rhapsodizing. Do you know how many talents that.. oh not in this area"

"Ahhhhhh.... but... she has brought us a grenade to throw." He produces ONE pomegranate.

"Lovely, but I'm not sure... wait, ther'es a glamour to it"

"My kind of glamouor I think, how?"

He chuckles and tells the story WHILE KEEPING CONTROL of the fruit.

She laughs "oh my goodness, she doesn't realize whatw you can really do with this does she? I mean...concentrates, catalysts, enhancers..."

"Yeeeesssss......"

"The chemical concepts alone have me quite giddy."

CC gives him an admiring look, hand under her chin, "No one could use it better"

A deep inhale, stirred. "We have business, Dearest."

"We will take this one down together. I owe you."

A smile breaks on her face like a triumphant moon, "I get to dance too? Gladly, but I do insist.. you lead. I know you want to." A wink

"Well, if we use this ingredient, then I must have your input, and we must move quickly; I don't want her in the Crescent that long." A significant eyebrow.

"I hear you," She says "Okay... a simple lure cantrip and I can make them want whatever container it is in with passion..."

"Dearest.... you see it must finish with... an ending. Yes?"

"I will do it."

"Oh?" SHe raises a brow

"Yes." Gravely. "We cannot have loose ends in this. They are yours, these three and those they carry. Therefore I have... a certain attachment."

"Oh, you mean the sidhe has to die? I kind of figured that was a given" She admits

"Good." He purrs.

"Darling, don't forget, I have plenty of red on my ledger too"

"You excite me by the mention of it." He assures her.

"Now.... How."

"Starve him out? Leanhaun need dreamers... limit his access, steal the ones he has... and let the house curse work it's horrors?"

"I admit, there are things I don't know about them... but that does seem to have a cause effect matter yes?"

"Oh, I like that idea....." he breathes. "And it saves us fruit."
