Breaking and entering
It had taken Lian a few days to get there, but she'd made it to the League of Assassins headquarters. Several flights later, after staying in a cheap hotel, she'd made the trek through the Arabian desert, traveling light, taking only her bow and knives, but carrying just enough food and water to where she wouldn't starve to death or die of thirst.

That and the headquarters for the League of Assassins, wasn't exactly the easy place to find. You had to know where to look.

Luckily, there's a perk in having a parent for a member.

Lian made her way to the entrance, making sure to stay hidden.

	"For all I know, I could have a couple of younger siblings out there," Lian said, "Mom liked her...simple pleasures." Lian took a bite of her pasta. "Your cooks did an excellent job preparing it. This is delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will relay your regards." Damien says, with a smile. The cook did not fail him, and would be pleased to know that she would live another evening. "Well, I can have your mother come to you at our next destination if you so choose. She is not here." Damien says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My mother's a busy woman," Lian said, "You don't have to go out of your way on my account." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's only as busy as I tell her she is, Lian. If you wish to see her, tell me and you will." Damien says. "You are a better dancer than you let on." he says, after a long pause. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll put it into consideration," Lian said with a smile, "Thank you." "I had a pretty damn good partner," Lian said, "I was a little suprised at myself, actually. I normally have two left feet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why do I have a difficult time believing you are ever anything less than graceful and poised?" Damien asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"I have my moments when I'm less than graceful." Lian smiled. "I'm glad you're impressed, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"I will be watching you intently to find these less graceful moments. I hope you do not easily fold under pressure." Damien smiles. "I have ordered Tiramisu for dessert tonight. Have you ever had it?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"You'll find that I can handle pressure pretty well in large doses," Lian said. "I have not. I guess that means I'll try it tonight, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is a pie made with rum and whipped cream. It is very tasty, so I hope you will like it. If you do not, we will find something that you do enjoy." Damien says. "How is your pasta?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds delicious. I'm sure I'll enjoy it." "Extremely delicious. Best pasta I've had in awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you mind if I try a bit of yours? It looks very good." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please, go right ahead," Lian said, tipping her plate towards him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Damien reaches out with his fork to take up some of the pasta, keeping his eyes on Lian the whole time. "Yes, I definitely like everything on your side of the table." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well...I don't see how you can't. I have bacon, after all." Yes, she likes her bacon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"You are the first person I've ever met with such a love for bacon." he says, moving his chair over to sit nearer to Lian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"I practically live off of bacon," Lian said, turning her head to grin at him. "You'd be surprised how many foods can be improved instantly with bacon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well, since I have only had bacon with breakfast, I would like a list of foods with which to test your theory. I will try them and report back to you with my findings." Damien says. "Let me know when you are ready for dessert." he says, sipping his wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"It's a rather extensive list," Lian said. Lian took another sip of her wine. "I'm ready if you are," she said, "I don't want to eat too much and spoil my appetite for dessert." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"I look forward to seeing it." he says. A nod at the waiting servant and the plates and food are cleared away. Shortly after, the Tiramisu is brought out and the aroma of rum, chocolate and whipped cream is pungent. "You should go first, as it is your first time." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Goddamn, that smelled good. Lian could feel her mouth start to water. "Don't mind if I do," she said, taking a bite. She chewed slowly, savoring every little morsel. "That is more than delicious. I believe this falls under being heavenly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 04:17 am UTC (link)
	Damien laughs. "No one has ever used that word in my presence, due to the obvious connotations." He moves a little closer and moves to get a bit of the pie onto his fork. He takes a bite, his eyes closing in enjoyment. "I love rum." he says, taking another bite onto his fork. This time, he offers it to Lian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I could've said that it was hellish, but that doesn't seem like the right word. I'll try to use it sparingly." "It certainly compliments it nicely," Lian saide, taking the bite offered to her. She closed her eyes, enjoying every little bite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, no. Please continue to. I find it amusing." Damien says, watching as Lian enjoys the pie. The scent of her is intoxicating and he finds himself drawn closer to her. "I am glad you came tonight. I have not enjoyed dinner this much in quite some time." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-03 04:40 am UTC (link)
	"If I provide you such amusement, then maybe I just will," Lian said. Her face wasn't that far from his when she turned to grin at him. "I am glad that you finding my company enjoyable. Likewise, I am enjoying myself very much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
