The inner workings of madness
Lian had been in the workout room when Damien called her, saying that he had something important to show her.

After jumping in the shower and changing quickly, she made her way to the lab where he asked her to meet him.

	"The man is dead," Talia said simply. "Slade is being held for both his murder and the attempted murder of Roy Harper." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Like hell I'm going to help him, Lian fought the urge to snap. But in present company, losing her hold on her temper would not work in her favor right now. Lian simply nodded, taking a sip of her wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, at least he hasn't /completely/ lost his touch." Damien chuckles, reaching out to stroke Lian's knee.

"Have you spoken to Morgaine, Mother? She found her father's killer and dispatched him. Father will not approve of that, but Robert had to prove himself worthy somehow. If Morgaine could kill him, then he wasn't truly worthy to be offered membership to the League." Damien says of his adopted brother.

"Shado has not been seen in several months, however. I would not put it past the old woman to be looking into news of her son's death. If she comes looking in our direction, I will bear the brunt of Father's wrath for dealing with her, too." Damien says.

"He places too much emphasis on his rivalry with Oliver Queen." Damien observes, sipping his wine.

	"I have not spoken to your sister, lately." Her daughter was more difficult to get a hold of then Damien, to say the least. "Though I am pleased that she did her father justice." "Shado is old. She will be easy to deal with, if she comes after you and your sister. She can be easily disposed of." "It has always been an...obsession of his." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian put a hand on Damien's. She had nothing to say, as the conversation didn't really involve her. Or she could say a couple of things, but they all involved her most likely getting killed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It has. Training Oliver Queen's son for years steps from obsessive to all-consuming, however. Ah, well. He's dead now, so it doesn't matter." Damien says. Damien looks to Lian. "You've been very quiet, my love. What are you thinking?" Damien asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Talia took a sip of her wine. "He is. Your father will have to find some other way to taunt Oliver Queen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-10-20 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"Not thinking anything," Lian said with a smile. "Just letting you talk with your mother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-10-20 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Damien smiles at Lian. "You're so very considerate." Then he looks back to his mother. "In other news, the machine is nearly ready. Only the power source is needed and I will have it before the end of this month. Then everything will proceed according to plan." Damien says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-10-20 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Talia smiled. "I am pleased to here it, my son." "Soon you will be closer to making the world a better place for you," she looked over at Lian, "And your children." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-10-20 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"I try," she said with a smile, squeezing his hand. ....Children? Oh hell no. "Well, maybe someday." Try never, crazy lady. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mother, we've only just wed. Children are something we'll discuss in due time, once the world is as we need it to be." Damien says. Of course, the idea of children with Lian is one that excites him beyond words. He hopes, deep in his heart, that Lian will soon tell him that she's expecting. They haven't been as cautious as they could have, in recent times. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well," Talia said, taking a sip of her wine. "I expect at least one, though." If this girl was going to be married to her son, she better know what her duty to being the wife of the Head of the Demon was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Good save there, Damien. "I have no objections to waiting until other matters are squared away," she said. Lian could help but get an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She hadn't exactly been careful... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Damien takes her hand as though he can feel her tense up. He squeezes her hand in a very gentle show of strength, love and support, even as he keeps his eye on his mother.

"Duly noted and acknowledged, Mother." Damien smiles.

If they have a son, he will be named Alexander. Damien has already decided this.

Presently, the food arrives, lobster and steak along with asparagus and butter sauce.

"Perfect timing." Damien says, waiting for the ladies to serve themselves.

	"The legacy of the Demon's Head is something that has been in our family for generations," Talia said. "And I would hate to see it die." And if this girl was too weak to keep it going, Talia would dispose of herself, and find someone better suited for her son. Talia smiled, filling her plate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian squeezed his hand back, glad that subject had been changed for the moment. There would be no baby. She wasn't going to stick around long enough for that. "Excellent," she said, filling her plate. "Everything looks wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-10-20 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Damien fills his plate and eats in silent, watching his mother take Lian's measure. He hopes Lian has acquitted herself well with Talia al Ghul. He loves Lian too much to lose her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-10-20 03:26 am UTC (link)
	For now, Talia would just observe how Lian was around her son. While the young woman seemed like a strong-willed person, she didn't seem like she'd give Damien much trouble. "Everything is wonderful, my son." Talia said in-between eating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-10-20 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Lian ate silently, shoving all thoughts of babies to the back of her head. She could be paranoid later. (Reply to this)(Parent)
