"You were not anywhere near to drunk when you told me what was in your heart," Alexander snapped.
His face twisted into grief and pain.
"By all the gods, I have wronged you, Nadir. I have loved you and I have wronged you, and I can only hope that my love is of greater credit than my wrongdoings."

Nadir turned back around briefly, glancing once at Alexander with scarcely a flicker of anything in his gaze.
"Try the satay," he said indifferently, licking a bit of the sauce from his thumb as he walked away.
Forcing himself not to run.
He could keep it together until he was alone; he had to.

Alexander sighed.
"As you wish, brother," he said brokenly. "As you wish."

She rolled her eyes. "You flatter yourself. It's not endearing." Then her forehead wrinkled in thought. "There are enough non-human guests present that it shouldn't take long before something happens. I know I saw Kat's aunt Ellen talking to some vampires." He grinned at her response, though he furrowed his brow at the mention of "non-human guests", and gave a little laugh, as though she'd said something about vampires merely to amuse. "Well, if that's the case, then I suppose I won't have to do much stirring up after all. I think vampires would have that covered brilliantly, don't you?"

"Vampires?" Olivier said, sounding both doubtful and hopeful all at the same time.
He briefly flicked his gaze over the crowd, almost inquiring.

"Mm-hmm!" She said brightly. Her uncle had come back from the dead once, as had evidently her grandfather--the whole undead thing had ceased to faze her a long time ago. She looked at them both.
"Oh come on, you have to have spent enough time in Paris to notice the vampires."

"I've never seen any such thing. I know there are often strange deaths reported, but that doesn't mean a supernatural force was behind it."
Laurent, for the most part, hadn't had much exposure to the odder elements of this world, the strangest things he could say to have happened being crazy Marianne in the attic or stories of a ghost in the estate. But nothing like vampires.

In a rare of turn of events, this was actually one thing that Olivier had more experience with than Laurent--while Olivier hadn't had any hair-raising encounters, he had (though only briefly) seen the ghost of Marc Desmarais wandering the halls of the estate.
It was therefore much easier for him to believe in such things.
"Well, I don't know about vampires, but I've seen...odd things, before." He said vaguely, getting the expected sideways glance from Laurent.

Would a Laurentian asskicking mess with your plans, very much? I can resist, if I must.))

((It would derail quite a bit, actually. Laurent as he is now is kind of a re-boot.))

((Aw I figured as much. XD))
*Lucy sauntered up to the dozing figure of War and observed him with a smirk, holding a class of Cristal.*
"You're getting too old for this..." she chuckled.

*A single eyebrow raised as War opened his eyes behind his shades. From over the top of the dark glasses those same eyes rise from the floor up.*
"Hell darlin, I thought I was as young as what I... eat."
*A slow grin spreads from one corner of his lips.*
"How's tricks?"

"For kids..." she tweaked his ear between manicured nails. "Silly rabbit."

"Ain't we all?"

"Not me. Not anymore, at least. There's no prison like perpetual innocence." She feigned a shudder before smiling slowly. "But the last few years have more than made up for it."
