Invasion of privacy
Rita had done her shopping for the week. Fresh food and some other essentials that she needed. She's in a good mood because she found some fresh hair dye to touch up the red in her hair so she'd look like herself. The weather is also pretty nice for this time of year too.

She is even singing softly under her breath right up until she feels like there's something off about her living room. She glances around then just freezes. What the hell?

	"Good evening, Miss Dermont," came a smooth, cultured voice with a hint of an accent. A pale man wearing fine, white clothes sat casually on her couch, sipping from a cup. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The wards must have failed. She can't tell and seeing a stranger in her home? A vampire too. God this is bad. "Hello," she manages after she notices how dry her throat has gotten. This is so bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have genuine talent," he says, hand casually pointing at the disabled wards. "Those would have kept a great many of my kind out of your home. Myself..am something else entirely." He then indicates a chair. "Please, sit, it is your home after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're better versed in what I do, likely," she says after a moment. She sets the two large bags down in front of one of her book cases. She moves a bit stiffly to her favorite chair and settles down there making sure her skirt doesn't flash too much leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have been rude. I know who you are, but I have yet to introduce myself. I am Patriarch Yannis Theodaric," he says with formality. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Aw shit. "I'm aware of your reputation, Patriarch," she says calmly. At least she looks calm truthfully she's freaking out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That is good, I dislike posturing," he replies calmly, but with a hint of cold mirth. "First off, I wish to put your mind at ease. I'm not here to kill you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh good. She just got the rug cleaned last week. "Good. Then why are you here? I can't possibly be that fascinating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In truth I've been considering expansion into the United States for some time. Your destruction of Branimer simply gave me an excuse to move plans along." He took another drink. "It provides little nourishment, but I like to reminisce on old tastes," he explained regarding the wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He was sloppy," Rita defends. "If I noticed him others would have."

She's no longer going to bother trying to deny what happened she will though keep Tyler out of it. She needs to protect him from this if she can.

Things are going to get very messy quickly. "Old habits die hard as they say," she says regarding the wine as she fetches a beer from on of the bags. She might as well.

	He waves it off. "My scouts explained your story to me. Branimer was a good soldier, but far too often he gave in to his baser urges. You likely did me a favor. However, it would be bad form of me to let something like that go without even an investigation." He doesn't object when she goes for the beer. "So true," he replies with almost a hint of nostalgia.

	"He also forgot that people can get territorial over their poessions," she says with a slim shrug of her shoulders as she works the cap off of the beer bottle. She still hasn't gotten over that vampire taking her bike even months later the thought leaves her cranky. "Well you didn't earn that title without reason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah yes, your motorcycle, correct?" He sets the glass down. "In truth I was once a patriarch in the Greek Orthodox church. I kept the title because it amused me to do so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." She's not abut to sulk over that. When he mentioned that she has to set down her beer fast because that had her nearly choke on it. She coughs and presses her hand over her mouth blinking at him with wide eyes. "I... see," she gets out after she has herself under better control. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckles, amused by her surprise. "It was a long time ago. I'll simply say that when everything you've known and loved dies around you, you seriously question the validity of a just and loving deity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I didn't grow up in the Church. Either one." She smiles grimly. "In another time my family would have been persecuted for being Pagan. I don't believe there is just one god anyways.... How could the Christian or Jewish God explain what the world shows us today?"

She realizes that she's about to get into a religious debate with a vampire of all people.

"I'm sorry. That's not exactly a polite subject of conversation."

	"Quite all right," he assures, nonplussed. "That explains the lack of religious iconography in the home of a vampire hunter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm more of an alchemist and I don't just hunt vampires." She touches a spot on her neck where there are barely seen scars. "Let's just say I hold a very special place in my heart for your kind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_vampire 2012-07-29 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I recognized traces of that ancient science here. Your understanding of its principles is impressive." He raises an eyebrow at the scars. "That's fair enough," he replied, not disputing her right to hate vampires. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I couldn't wield my magic after that, I had to switch my entire focus to alchemy," she said with a shrug but then smiles. Her eyes crinkle with utter amusement. "I've gotten quite good at it. I just need a few more years if I'm lucky and I'll be able to make something.... Something that would change the way I fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh the enthusiasm of youth." A light chuckle. "My my, how intriguing. To be honest, I considered inviting you into my clan. However, given your implied history, I imagine it would not be met with enthusiasm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. And my grandfather would kill me for good if I did," she says plainly. "I.... guess compared to you I'm barely a babe in arms." She does come off as young and innocent despite her very punk goth look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I will not waste time trying to convince you," he replied. "I've lost track of my own age. The older members of my kin tend to stop counting after awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Given how old some of the vampires that I'm aware of likely are... It makes sense," she says with a slim nod as she sips at her beer. She doesn't know what to do about the vampire in her living room though. She does know she will be moving soon. She can't stay here after a vampire was in her living room looking at her things.

	"I can sense your trepidation," he says suddenly. "Caution, especially in this situation is healthy, but I meant what i said. I am not here to kill you." He sets the empty glass down. "I have done my research, Seattle does not belong to any vampire of note. It's vampiric population goes unregulated. I intend to fill that void." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
