"I'd have thought you'd have noticed the coven going under sir," Tilan replied, almost sounding sincere with his address, "Besides I am in no condition to be arresting anyone."
Tilan turned his gaze to the doorway, waving a hand almost dismissively. "I just thought you might like to know a little something, a parting gift if you would care for such sentiments. Of course if you are otherwise occupied or don't feel you can trust me I'd understand." A slight smile cracked the man's face, he'd not be surprised at all to simply be turned away, though there was always the hope the man would show some curiosity.
"Although I'd ask if my pet is still staying with you that you keep her on a leash, I don't believe I ever did get her manners straight."

The feline figure smirked playfully at Claudius, about to reply when someone knocked on the door. He withheld his response as the door opened, the cloaked figure exchanging several sentence's with the ex-coven leader. He spun about ninety degrees into more of a sitting position, taking in another whiff of the iris in his paw. "I see you're well." Stated Ahva, starting up a conversation of his own.
"Yes, though I doubt you're surprised at all. Speaking of doing well, how are your old comrades keeping up?" He inquired. "Can't say, haven't seen any in a while." He replied. "Wait, you mean the new group, right?" He double-checked. "Well, of course. After all, your first group is long since dead. Normal humans don't live over one-hundred years." He said, his gaze shifting to the white-haired male, who seemed rather hurt by the sudden comment. "I'm sorry, that was a bit over the top." He apologized, floating down to offer the flower to him. "I hope you can forgive me." He said in an oddly sly way. "Of course." Ahva's mood lightened again. "It really can't be helped, it is true after all. I just forgot how tactless and insensitive you can be." Ahva deadpanned. "Ouch, that is harsh, but I am deserving of it I suppose." He said, both seeming friendly despite their exchange of words.

" I do know this, but the head of the council will not leave that go for long, and my head on a platter would be a great gift to them for anyone wanting to take up the leadership role...." He replied coldly as the man spoke once more. He frowned though as he offered up information.
" Your... 'pets' were a bouts are not of your concern anymore. Though tell me, what is it you would like to inform me of?" He asked cooly. Unsure of this man's intentions he wondered... if he stepped through the doorway would he be legit or shunned from entrance from his blackened heart.

Julius stays back, quiet and alert. Honestly he's hoping no one notices him since, to fight at all right now, he needs the element of suprise. He's not prepared for a fight at all and the clothes he has on are pure fashion, not protection what so ever. In hind sight he should've just been cautious but... it's a little late for that. He is ready though. As ready as can be since he knows nothing about what's going on. The magic coursing through him like a river a slush is having an airconditioning effect on his immediate surroundings. ------------ Outside the mansion a faint bumf sound is heard as yet another witch arrives...

"Honestly Claudius if I wanted your head you'd only catch a glimpse of me before your death. I can assure you that the little dark guardian did quite the number on me." Tilan had to shake his head at the man's comment about his pet though.
"If that little dragoness is still here then she might well kill me before I get to tell you what I came to tell you, she didn't leave me on the best of terms so I wouldn't hold it against her." He brings a hand up, leaving it just before it would pass through the doorway.
"I don't suppose you'd like to invite me in for a civil conversation, I'd rather avoid the cold as best I can."

" I really do believe you should not be so cocky, I am not as weak as you think either... though for now. Lets not strut our feathers, but I suppose you can come in... but I warn you. Ill will to me or my guests... and this tower will eject you so fast it will make your blood run cold." He warned as he waved him in, only stopping to see who it was that had arrived now from the thud that was heard just now...

Aminna Lethifold strides out from an alley with a grin to rival the cheshire cat's. She raises her hand and wiggles her fingers at Claudius, somewhat suprised to see so many people in the coven house. Her alabaster hair is done up and she wears a shimmering black dress made for formal occaisions. She does look very elegant for someone whose hair was done by a Harundal. Too bad she sticks out like a sore thumb. She, oblivious to the current situation, strides past the witch in the dark suit and through the door. Once inside, however, she senses the tension in the air and stops for a second. The fact that there's a circus like cat-creature-thing floating mid-air, two shifty looking figures and some neophyte witch all standing around in guarded stances might have had someting to do with her sudden relization. "Uh..." comes out her mouth as she comes to Claudius's side. She had been comming to tell Claudius about this tiny situation she's fallen (okay... jumped) into concerning two murderous Harundals and a possible dragon... no biggie. -Aww Damn- she thinks as she looks sideways at Claudius -I hope this isn't going to take too long- she heaves a sigh, turns and smiles at Claudius before saying, "It can wait."
-------------------------
Julius just watches from his spot as some lady walks out of some dark secluded ally way, walks by the "possible threat" without so much as a backward glance and... stands next to Claudius.

(( Does claud know her? XD I'm not sure I can do either or, whatever you want. ))
Claud sighs as the other witch walked in and he slowly closed the door once everyone was inside. He turned to look to the lot. Eyebrow twitching a bit at the chaos that had entered his abode though honestly... he should be glad... for once more the place was feeling like home back when it was chaotic and time consuming.
" You, if you wish to see the library, it's down the hall, turn right. it's very vast and there are rows and rows of books all over." He instructed. " In the one desk towards the back, if you look in the top right drawer, there is a listing for witching friendly homes as well as other apartments down in bordens row if you need a place to stay. Take the feline creature with you and if I sense one wrong turn from him you can believe me, he's going to the pound." He spoke in a dark, even toned manner that was a bit cold and well scary to say the least. " Julius, Miss, sit on the couch and I shall attend to you very soon. Tilan..... tell me now why you are here and what information do you have?" he asked bluntly. Eyes a bit brighter then usual as his migraine was climbing once more. He was so close to loseing his hold on the counter curse... and so close to reveal his true form.

The feline figure shifted his gaze to the others entering, Ahva spun around as well. "My, this seems to be a popular place now, doesn't it?" He purred, blinking his slender cat-like eyes mischievously, his tail still waving oddly behind him. "Though there's a bit of tension in the air. It's so thick, like lightning crackling through the room." He commented smoothly, wiggling his fingers in a playful fashion. "Still, I never really understood the whole love-hate feelings like that." He said dismissively, shifting on his back and lounging in mid-air. "I suppose things won't die down for a while, maybe an hour or so." He said, seeming to fully relax like he was ready to take a nap.
"Maybe not, but I guess time tells all." Ahva stated. "Well, waste not, want not, as the saying goes. I'd rather catch up on my sleep if it does indeed turn out I'm to wait a while." The feline figure replied. "Last time I checked you didn't need sleep or food like the rest of us." "Hm, yes... But why miss out on life's pleasures if your just going to float around for a few millenia? Time doesn't pass any faster you know, even if it feels like it." He mewed, before Ahva decided to just leave him be.

Tilan made a point of ignoring the other characters that were assembled in the building, though the female witch that had just arrived piqued his interest as he simply making his way over to lean on a nearby wall. He had his own problems to deal with and his care for the lives of others was never overly grand at the best of times.
"That's all pretty simple Claudius, I just want you to keep an eye on that dark witch. Since your little plot didn't leave me the time I needed to properly deal with the threat he poses to not only our kind but the lives of most on this planet." Tilan made sure that point was across before continuing, a hand moving to press to his chest as his wound started to burn at the mention of the dark witch.
"I sealed his power at least, before that pet of his bested me. I doubt I have the time to complete my experiments to permanently negate his powers so I'm just giving you the warning. You'll have one very pissed off witch on your hand when he manages to get them back again." With that he turned to Aminna, her eyes studying the witch for a moment before he enquires.
"Just how old are these Harundal and would that happen to be an ice dragon?"

" The dark witch? If I can find him that is, I shall keep a eye on him. Though if you are concerned as well. Why do you not do so as well? You know more on what he looks like." he pointed out as he raised a brow and turned as he addressed the other witch on her convictions.

(( Yes... they know eachother. To refresh your memory - cheshirecity.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ch&action=display&thread=356&page=1 - This is after she returns the forms @ the end)) Aminna blinks twice slowly. Her "trigger finger" itches slightly as she wonders how he would know about what she and Vale had discussed just a few moments before she arrived here. Could he be an agent of the Harundal? Even the most anti-human ones are capable of seeing a witch's worth. Then something Vale said about a half witch brother comes rocketing though her mind and, "Oh... yeah." pops out of her mouth as she turns to Claudius and sizes him up with her violet eyes, "Yeah I was actually coming to tell you about this little problem i'm helping some guy with concerning murder, genocide and a few dark breeds: Two ancient Harundal and a possible Ice Dragon to be exact." "It's not that special business we discussed earlier” she says, meaning the dark witch investigation, “but it's something i want to do." ------------------------------ Julius relaxes his stance a little and lets himself grin a little. It seems he picked an eventful day to come to the tower.

"The dark witch's pet guardian can at least be given that she doesn't leave threats unfufilled. Either through her own doing or an unfortunate combination of magic, the wound she inflicted on me refuses to heal and has been steadily getting worse. Most of my magic at the moment is being harnessed simply to stop the spread of the wound for the moment. So as I guess you can imagine I'm not about to put my remaining time towards a goal with no benifit to myself." Tilan explains in a calm fashion, his demenour not changing at all as he turned back to Aminna.
"So my dear brother is doing his job, imagine that. I sorely doubt he has the comitment to carry out our families duty given the circumstances. Though he might surprise me, I do hope you will keep an eye on the child if it comes to that Claudius."

" Oh? You need to write up a report for me then so I may see to what it is you wish to deal with. Remember, everything has to be on the up and up. No shady business." He pointed out cooly as the blood user interjected his own words. Claudius took this in. Nodding as he thought on things and his eyes turned back to the man as he spoke of the wound.
" So your dieing?" he asked, eyes loitering on his form as if he was already dead. As he spoke of his brother he nodded to this.
" I will do my best." he informed the witch. Adjusting his glasses as he wondered about these new turn of events.

Aminna listens to Claudius and, with a nod, she signifies that she understands, "Alright... thanks i'll do that." Then she turns her violet gaze to the half witch and listens to his voice. "I don't think he's lacking commitment..." Aminna says to the half witch as she runs her dark gloved fingers through her straight star light colored hair, "...just firepower." Then with a grin she snaps her fingers, "and i have plenty to spare." She's referring not only to her spell casting capabilities but her allies as well.

"I honestly don't know what my chances are either way." The blood witch shrugged to Claud's question before chuckling softly to himself. Funny that he'd not be in control of something for once and actually find the situation amusing.
"It might kill me, might just leave me crippled and senile, I doubt my fate in either case would be much of a problem for you, I wouldn't blame you for being glad to have me removed from the picture. Keep an eye on that dragon girl as well, I'll be sure to arrange a letter for you should I leave detailing how best to remove my conditioning." The man's eyes move to the female witch again, before he shakes his head a little.
"Someone is cleary not well informed about the current situation, either you or my brother, perhaps both. I trust your boss will fill you in on why firepower shouldn't be your main concern."

Claudius let a sigh escape his lips. He started to massage his temples again. The pain from holding this human shape slowly growing.
" Despite our past ... encounters. I never wish pain on anyone." Claudius responded to his words, being respectful as usual. He looked to the blood witch and then to the female with a raised brow. He wasn't sure what he was talking about for a moment till it finally clicked in his brain. An... ice dragon?
"Wait.... your not talking about the ice dragon that was involved in the cavern incident when Delano did his little blood bath of a execution are you?" He asked his eyes turning to alarm. That... could very well be problematic... for everyone if she started to mess with that woman again. He honestly didn't care what happened to Orvasrin... but the child and Ryusei..... if that was who she was speaking of..... he couldn't support any wrongdoing to those two.

"Well," Aminna says in monotone with a blank expression, "Maybe you could do a little more to remedy our ignorance if you are so inclined." She keeps the annoyance out of her voice and face the way she was taught. No matter how agitated she gets she remembers that loosing her cool usually ends up very badly, "I'd like to think you'd be at least a little worried about your brother fighting two Harundal and an Ice dragon." She turns to look at Claudius with a smile that just appeared out of nowhere. Aminna's eyes widen a little, "So.." Her smile widens, "you actually know the dragon?" She says to her "boss" with the look of a cat that has just spotted the canary. With Vale's intel being so... lacking this little tidbit would be invaluable. No one wants to go into a fight blind and Aminna Lethifold isn't the type of person to do so. She'd been planning to use her creature friends to gather intel while she went back and forth between scouring the library and talking to Vale. Having a Harundal friend is perfect for this little mission.

"I'd suggest you stop thinking along those lines then." Tilan turns back to Aminna, eyes narrowing a fraction. "He's been trained to handle our family duty, a chance I missed out on thanks to my mother's blood. The same reason I need to use the blood of the night creatures to grasp the power any full blooded witch can call naturally. You can take that however you will." He finished before turning to Claudius once more.
"I've been here long enough, I think I'll take my leave now. I have some personal matters to attend to." With that Tilan turned and made his way towards the exit of the tower.

" If you ever desire to come over to the other side.... look me up." Claudius smirked with possibly a twisted... but useful person he just might be able to manipulate later for the greater good. He soon enough turned back to the young girl.
" I do know her.... and you best not mess with her. She is a friend of mine.... and has a child. Her love leads her to follow around that other demon..... We have worked together but I had made it clear.... if he does evil... I'll take him down. Just... leave the kid and the ice dragon out of this.... Though they have caused chaos in the past... I owe the female my life." He told her honestly with a nodd of his head in respect to the other witch.

"I'll keep that in mind." She says to the half witch before listening to Claudius with a speculative expression. Aminna's mind goes into rapid caulculations, "You know her, are friends with her... Assuming she truts you..." She reasons, more to herself than to Claudius, "What exactly is the situation with these Harundal? Is she serving them in exchange for their protection? Are they holding her child hostage? Or do you know the inspiration for her actions?" He thinking is that she can take this information and use it. As heartless as that may seem it's better than the alternative which involves not only incurring the wrath of her leader but also killing a mother so she's banking on manipulation. Maybe she could even use Claudius to get her away since, once she moves, she'll show those two no mercy. Then again... she has to tell Vale about this too and he'll probably choose negotiations over conflict. "So, keeping with the half witch's suggestions, it might be possible to persuade the ice dragon, thus removing a powerful obstical." then she adds, after a few seconds, "and protecting your friend, of course." IT fits perfectly with one exceptions. If they're able to persuade the ice dragon to betray the Harundals then the Ice dragon will have to worry about them herself. If this puts the child in danger then she won't betray them so they have two ways to fix this: Protective enchantments and placing the dragon with her guards, a Ne'em and a single red Harundal. Aminna nods in a self satisfied way with a grin on her face.

" No... their are no hostages.... unless you count love a form of hostage taking. The child is a result of the one male and her own sexual lusts. I don't know how well you can bargin with the male.... and I know very little on those two Harundal accept that they have darker thoughts on the horizon and I do not know to what extent." He explained to her before looking back to the new ice witch.
" Aminna.... nothing in this city is ever black or white... remember that. It's impossible to ever see the truth till you have walked a mile in another's shoes. Just promise me you won't do anything to the child nor the dragon..... they are of my only concern." he told her. Rubbing his temples with a bit more pain in his face, the slightly riseing emotion and the length he had been in human form..... he really needed to turn back to his cursed shape but it was hard.... when so many here hadn't seen the full extent of his curse as of yet.

Aminna, who had been planning to avoid the dragon in the first place (However she thinks it would be pretty callous to say this to Claudius). "I'll avoid the dragon and i won't harm her." She says, her violet eyes locked on Claudius's, "However if she tries to kill me i can't guarantee that. You can understand where i'm coming from but rest assured I will not take action if i think that'll be the outcome." She's sincere and honest. "I'll research, use my resources and find a way to get past the dragon without... you know."

" Thank you for at least trying. " Claudius nodded to her with a bit of a sigh. He looked amoungst the group once more. A weak smile upon his face.
" Now... if there is not any other questions I would like to take Julius here out on a small tour of hot spots for information gathering." He remarked as he looked over to the rookie with a smirk. Though one hand went to his head and massaged his temple. He really needed to drop this counter curse but he refused while in the presence of others of the witching race.

"Alright Claudius." Aminna says with a gracious smile, "and thanks." Then she turns away from him and exits as suddenly as she appeared although she had to get outside the barrier before she could teleport home and tell her little rag tag team of monsters that they had a job to do, a job that needed to be done with the utmost care.
----------------------------------
At the mention of his name Julius catches himself and rises to his feet, wipping the shinning spittle on his jawline away and looking around to see if anybody noticed. He catches Claudius's eye and his stomach churns. It's a verrrrrrrry bad thing to fall asleep on the first day, or is this the first day? he doesn't quite understand too much since he's never been apart of a coven but he's ready to learn, and ready to get out into the fresh air.
