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?

"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)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 02:48 am UTC (link)
	`Did I mistext? Polite. As in he made it clear he wasn't here to kill me.` There is another pause then another text. `Still. Did not pee myself. Did my ancestors proud. He was scary.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Well that's something... Don't freak out. Do you need me to come over? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:01 am UTC (link)
	It's a few minutes of silence before she answers. `Maybe. Kind of freaked out still. I need to do my wards again but my hands aren't steady right now. So either I do them or sleep somewhere else.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Okay, here's hoping she doesn't take this the wrong way. If you want, Rita, you can stay over here for the night. I'll take the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:07 am UTC (link)
	`I shouldn't drive though. Had fifty beers.` Almost right away she texts again. `Damn you auto correct.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Fifty beers!? He quickly composes himself. No way she could drink that much...right? I can come pick you up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:13 am UTC (link)
	She only had five. `Awesome.` (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Okay, don't go anywhere. I'm on my way.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:22 am UTC (link)
	`Kay.` Leaving is obviously a bad idea. She's not really sure why she texted Tyler anyways. It's become a strange habit to turn to him when things are weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Tyler was both heartened by this level of trust, and inwardly annoyed at his enjoyment of it. It doesn't take him long to get there. He lightly knocks on the door. "Rita, it's me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"Just a second," she calls and tries to not break her neck on her boots that she left out. Then she undid the lock and deadbolt to let him in. She looks a little paler than normal and smaller than usual. "Sorry about this but..." She looks utterly nervous right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:38 am UTC (link)
	"Hey," he assures gently, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay." He looks around. "Anything you want to bring?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-29 03:42 am UTC (link)
	She jumps slightly under the touch looking a bit freaked out. Not by him though. "He steam rolled my wards. Acted like it wasn't a big deal... And he was calm." She squirms and nods. "I have a backpack with some stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-07-29 03:49 am UTC (link)
	She was clearly distressed, so he didn't press her on questions yet. That could wait until she sobered up. For now, he hoped just being there was some comfort. "Okay. That it over there?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
