*Poe straightened slightly, but her brow was filled with confusion.*
"You...want me to kill him? I am not designed for such things. Is there anything else?"
*She looked hopeful. After all, she only wanted to help.*

*Erik frowned, finally stopping his pacing to stare darkly. at Poe.*
"None shall have that pleasure but Erik," *he said.* "Forgive me for intruding," *he said, not at all repentant.* "It seems my business lies elsewhere."

*Poe felt awful at being useless. It was so close to that dreaded failing. She tightened her trembling lips.*
"Sir...is there anything I might do to aid you? Surely once you have disposed of the male, she will come to you willingly, no?"
*There was no sarcasm, only innocent curiosity in her words.*

*Briefly, Erik wished he could have fallen in love with this woman instead. Her ways of thinking were oddly familiar and comforting.*
"Erik is not certain," *he said, honestly attempting to answer her question.* "He has nearly done so in the past, yet she has convinced him of the futility of such a gesture. It seems she would object to her fiance's murder."
*He shrugged.*
"It is, of course, a matter of arranging things so Erik cannot possibly be to blame. Then, she will have no where else to go. If Erik cannot convince her of his superiority on his own merits... it may be the only way."

*Poe's brow furrowed in thought.*
"She knows me, at least in so much that she thinks I live to serve you. I believe that if you wish to separate yourself from the demise of her current beau, I cannot be held responsible. I could use another form...well, but I am still poorly equipped for the hunt. Perhaps there are those on this world that kill as a means of employment? I might employ one to your pleasure?"

*Erik felt sudden regret for involving this innocent in his plans. She had done nothing to deserve this mental torment.*
"No. Do not trouble yourself; it is a job Erik must undertake on his own. Please, forget I came here; Erik is angry, and he sometimes forgets to think clearly."

*Poe touched his arm tentatively.*
"Sir, it is no trouble. I enjoy your company and manner of speaking. I do not understand much about love, but I know that it seems vexing at best. I do not hold such outburst against you. I only wish to see you find satisfaction."

*Erik gazed at her for a moment, somewhat calmed.*
"Erik appreciates your kindness, Mademoiselle. It is not often he finds such. I very rarely repent such outbursts, but I would that you allow me to come at some later time, and inquire after you in a manner more befitting your kind attention."

*Poe smiled gently and brushed a lock of his hair back from his face.*
"Sir, you are always welcome to inquire after me. Take what time you need."

"Very well. You are a fine specimen of female, Poe. You do not deserve Erik."
*He kissed her hand and departed silently.*

*Poe nodded in appreciation and watched him go.*
What a delightful human. He is so...
*She couldn't quite figure out what he was. But she liked it.*

*NEW DAY*
*Okay. So Scully didn't believe him; that wasn't news. But Mulder had his own strategy, and that was to figure things out on his own, then present his findings to her in the cold light of logic. He'd tracked the suspected alien here, to this... brothel, he guessed he had to call it. But they'd known the woman he'd described, and with calculating eyes sent him up.
He knocked. She didn't seem dangerous, and he thought a direct approach might be appreciated.*

*Poe answered the door in a smile and a sheer ensemble that clung pleasantly and hid just enough to be interesting.*
"Good evening, sir. Do you seek pleasuring?"
*She touched his chest invitingly, although there was genuine curiosity in her voice.*

(("Are you the keymaster?")) *Mulder swallowed. What he "sought" and what he like, really really wanted were now two different things.* "Um... No. I mean, yeah, don't we all, and it's not that you're not... Well, you're very attractive. I just..." *He collected himself and started again.* "I'm Special Agent Fox Mulder. I wondered if I could ask you a few questions?"

((Marry me? You are of so much win.))
*Poe's brow furrowed slightly at his inconclusive answer. But as he introduced himself, she smiled and bowed her head, opening the door so he might enter.*
"If you would prefer to speak first, or during, I have no difficulty with such things."
