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?

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

"It's true. Also why I have to actively hunt. The vampires who are.... young draw my attention because they're sloppy. If they weren't sloppy I'd never know where to look," she says plainly.

But oh crap will things get complicated if a vampire lord makes himself known in Seattle. Well, no that's not true. Things might improve because he might demand better from the vampires in town.

Urg, who knows? She has no idea how this will play out.

"Forgive me for not being entirely comforted by that. You might be a gentleman but others are not. I won't feel safe until I get better wards in place. Despite my skills in alchemy I'm still very much a mortal. "

"Maybe, or perhaps you are downplaying your own abilities." He shrugs.

"Understandable," he says, rising to his feet. "I came to tell you there is no deathmark upon you. You cleanse the idiots from our ranks, and unlike most, I appreciate such a service. However," his gaze is cold. "I warn you now, if you interfere with my own efforts in this city, I will not be so forgiving."

Rita just gulps audibly. The Patriarch is utterly terrifying when he speaks. She's trying to keep her hands from shaking.

"I can't guarantee I won't be involved in the future. I help other hunters in the city. If you make it obvious... They'll come for you and I won't leave them to a war they'll start first. Just so we're clear, Patriarch."

Oh God. Why had she said that? She goes a little green around the gills just from nerves alone. It had been brave and foolish of her to say anything.

	He raises a surprised eyebrow for a moment, before chuckling. "You have integrity, Miss Dermont, I can respect that. Very well," he turns and heads for the door. He stops just at the door. "Thank you for the conversation, Miss Dermont. I doubt our next encounter will be so..pleasant." He promptly exits the apartment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rita watches him go then drains her beer. She considers it then as she puts up the food she had bought she drains two more. Then she decides if she should call someone. Nope she's still feeling sober. Somewhere around her fifth beer she drunk-texts Tyler. `I did my ancestors proud.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tyler had just finished heating up the remains of a cosmo he had ordered earlier. He looked longingly upon it, ready to begin eating when the text came through. He groaned, denied his junk food, and went over to the phone. He looked at the message quizzically before replying. Rita? What are you talking about? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Poor Tyler Rita is trying to text while just drunk enough to mess things up. `I didm't marinate myself.` What? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Marinate? Just what the heck is going on down there? Are you trying to cook? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	`I mean piss.` There is a slight delay then another text is sent. `I think I'm drunk. God I'm a lightweight.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 02:42 am UTC (link)
	And he'll just wait a moment before responding, thank you very much. Good to know...why are you drunk? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Wait for it Tyler. All will make sense soon. `I came home to a Very Polite vampire.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Well shit. A vampire in your home!? Are you okay? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
