When Julian had returned Edmund's old assets in Leland Enterprises, Edmund promptly moved out of the crummy apartment. Still, he wasn't one to mingle with the rich and famous either. So his new place was fairly upscale, but nothing too noticeable about it. Sheek without being pretentious. Plus in this neighborhood it blended in enough to give Edmund a good sense of security. Julian was out of town on business, so Edmund had been keeping his eye on a few things for him. Right now he was considering a nap. It had been far too long since he was in a comfortable enough position to afford one..at least he was until the doorbell rang.

Minnie stood at the door with a small back by her side. She wore normal clothes, aside from her choker.

Julian was gone, and he hadn't been able to take her with him for this. There's a sadness in her eyes, but she smiles a little when she thinks of how he tried to do right by her. She it's still that slight, wry smile when Edmund answers the door.

"Hi, Ed," she says quietly. "Can I come in? I have a message from Julian."

	Edmund's a little surprised to see Minnie on his doorstep, but he recovers quickly. "Um, sure, Minnie. Come in." He steps aside to let her enter. "What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We should probably start with the message, while I still have a chance to inform him of the situation if you ....say no," Minnie says as she comes in, setting her little bag on the floor. "Julian's 'asking a favor and offering a bonus,' as he put it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, um..have a seat," he says, indicating the couch. He sits in a nearby chair. "What's going on? What does Julian need?" He eyes her backpack curiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She sits. " 'Dear Edmund,' " she clearly quotes. " 'It seems I will be gone for some time, and, very vexingly, will not be able to have Minnie with me. I'd like to avoid leaving her alone; I know she doesn't like that. So I'm essentially, asking you a favor and offering you a bonus. The favor is to fill in for me looking after Minnie. The bonus, as you might have guessed, is that many of Minnie's various needs are very fun to fulfill.'" There's a sheepish smile as Minnie recites. "'I know I can trust you not to hurt her. Let me know soon if there's a problem, as it won't be long before I'm out of communication. Thanks, Ed. Sincerely, Julian'"

	Edmund raises an eyebrow at her manner of delivering the message. It was eerie, he could almost hear Julian in the recitation. "Anyone ever tell you you it's freaky when you do that?" He smiles a little, indicating he's at least half-joking. "So..what needs exactly would you need?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A small smile. "I do my best to be precise."

She looks at her feet at the next question. "Staying here, if you don't mind. And... Ed, the last time Julian and I couldn't be together, it drove me crazy. Just one-night-stands and people I had to seduce for assignments. No one I could be myself with, no one to... take charge of me. I... I don't want to do that again."

	Edmund looks at her a little more gently. "What can I do for you, Minnie?" In the short time he'd known her, he'd come to think of her as a friend. He wanted to help, but really wasn't entirely comfortable with where this was headed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Body and soul," she replies frankly to the statement of whose she is. "I hope you know if that if he and I considered it a betrayal of any kind, I wouldn't do it." Her quick little hands start kneading into his wrist carefully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Understandable. Julian and I don't tend to do things the normal way." She continues to be thorough, all the way up his arm, leaning to handle it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Edmund's expression took on an "eesh" countenance. He'd seen Julian's mom before, or as he sometimes thought Sexy, but evil-looking vampire-lady. "Any idea when he's supposed to be back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Edmund had to get used to a lot over the next few days. Minnie's lounging around in lingerie or less, frequent massages, help with dinner, and of course her abject begging for sexual contact if he didn't ask/take it often enough. Minnie hopes he's coping well. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hello, Edmund!" Minnie said cheerfully, scurring over in a little black-leather-and-lace...did it qualify as a dress? ...Probably not. "How are things? You okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
