Topic: Tempire's Manor

Just looks like an old manor house, inside and out. Outside it is a beautifully made grey stone building partially covered with moss, ivy, and roses. Inside it is richly furnished with Turkish-style rugs and ornate oak furniture, guilded with priceless works of art and beautifuly embroidered tapestries.

Monique strolled through the door, ignoring the servant that opened the door. "Here," she said, carelessly tossing Tempire a simple silver collar with spells of conceilment on it similar to the ones on the jar. "Put this on the welp when you let her out," she said, walking off.

Tempire caught it and wordlessly carried both it and the jar to another sitting room. He opened the jar and imediately slipped the collar over her head before very gently lifting her out.

#2 Dec 22nd 2007, 11:30am

((Hey, you can't just say that he put the collar on her. She would have reacted and bit him or something))

#3 Dec 22nd 2007, 11:51am

((He's a very fast chimopteran, remember? She can bite him but he still was able to open the jar and slip the thing on her before a non-chimoptera could react))

#4 Dec 22nd 2007, 11:54am

((oh, darn. Poor Makena....))

Makena looked up at Tempire and smiled, giggling slightly and hoping that he wouldn't notice how scared she was.

((Will she be at all able to send thoughts through to her family?))

#5 Dec 22nd 2007, 11:56am

((Maybe a little))

Other than the slight softening of his eyes, Tempire's expression did not change. "Poor kitten," he said, holding her in his arm, against his chest. She was only about the size of his hand. One massive finger lightly clucked her under the chin before Tempire carried her from the room.

#6 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:01pm

-BWUDDER!- Makena sent to Ren, -Evil Lady!-

She clung to Tempire and sniffed, her breath catching as she tried to keep from crying.

#7 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:04pm

Monique grimised as Tempire carried Makena into the room. "What Senaly sees in those things I'll never know. I suppose you're wondering what use I have for her?"

Tempire remained silent and unmoving, save for subtly bouncing the infant in his arm.

Turning from him, Monique leaned against the windowframe, gazing out over the city. "My sister knows where Arette is, I'm certain of it. We can use that...infant, to convince her to tell us where that is."

#8 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:08pm

"Meanie!" Makena shrieked at Monique her eyes blazing dark sapphire.

#9 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:10pm

Monique looked at her in surprise for a second. "It talks!" she scowled. "Take it away from me," she ordered, waving her hand in cross between a dismissal and a shoo.

Tempire nodded and wordlessly turned away, shifting Makena slightly so anything more she might have to say was muffled against his chest.

#10 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:13pm

Makena started crying, griping Tempire's shirt in her tiny hands. -I hates evil lady!- She thought, not really paying attention to the fact that Tempire could hear her.

#11 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:15pm

Lifting her slightly so she was cuddled in both hands, Tempire carried her to his study, setting her lightly on the carpeted floor. Several large dogs came over to sniff her, tails wagging, but desisted with a quiet word from thier master. An older female dog came over and lay next to the girl, heaving a great sigh.

#12 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:19pm

Makena continued crying and snuggled against the old dog, sobbing into her fur.

#13 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:24pm

Whining, the old canine turned her head, licking the tears from Makena's face. -Is alright. Is alright.-

#14 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:26pm

Makena stopped crying and tried to take a deep breath, only succeeding in starting a string of hiccups. She hugged the dog and continued hiccuping.

#15 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:28pm

-Is alright is alright Big one take care - the old dog insisted.

Tempire turned from his papers and lifted Makena from the floor and to his shoulder, lightly tapping her back and murmering in another language as he sat in a giant velvet chair next to a fire that burned cheerfully.

#16 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:30pm

Makena stopped hiccuping after a bit and then levitated down to Tempire's lap, looking up at him pitifully and sucking her thumb.

#17 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:38pm

((I'll let short levatations pass))

He looked down at her, whatever expression he might have had lost in the flickering firelight. Supporting her back, he lightly bounced his leg up and down, bouncing her as well.

#18 Dec 22nd 2007, 12:44pm

((Oh, that's right, I keep forgetting about her little collar thing...))

Makena giggled a little and then tugged at her collar, whimpering.

#19 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:07pm

Gently uncurling her fingers from the collar, Tempire let her keep hold of his fingers as he continued to bounce her up and down.

"Well, doesn't this make a sweet sight?" Monique commented drolly from the doorway. Tempire stopped bouncing and looked over at her solomnly, face expressionless.

#20 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:10pm

Makena squeaked and clambered up onto Tempire's shoulder, hissing at Monique.

#21 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:12pm

"Agile little monkey isn't she?" Monique sneered, leaning in slightly to get a better look but still keeping out of the infant's reach. Tempire didn't move, but the dogs quietly huddled at the other end of the room.

#22 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:15pm

((Would she be able to move things at Monique with her mind?))

Makena glared at Monique and snapped at her with her little jaw, clinging to Tempire's shoulder.

#23 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:19pm

((Sorry, too much magic.))

Monique smirked. "I think she doesn't like me," she said, amused.

#24 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:20pm

((awwww))

Makena sat up straight on Tempire's shoulder, arms crossed over her chest, glaring at Monique. -**!-

((teehee, I LOVE playing Makena!))

#25 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:24pm

Without so much as a twitch to betray her, Monique slapped the infant, knocking her off Tempire's shoulder into his lap. He made a soft sound of protest, gently pulling the infant to him to prevent Monique from causing further harm.

The woman glared at both of them. "Children shouldn't say such things," she said, then turned on her heal and headed for the door. She stopped, not turning. "Contact my sister, tell her to come," she said, then walked out the door.

#26 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:30pm

Makena whimpered and held a hand to her face, sending a final thought to Monique as the woman left. -Daddy, bwuddors and the girls will kill you!-

#27 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:33pm

Tempire patted her back soothingly. "Kay!" he called. THe old dog came to him, wagging her tail. "Evitros Senaly. Melti cana anvilornar."

The dog barked and vanished.

#28 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:40pm

Makena stared at where the dog had just stood and then looked up at Tempire, her eyes wide, "Where?"

#29 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:42pm

"Away. To Senaly," he replied, then held out a thick wrist before her. "You must eat to heal."

#30 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:46pm

"Senaly?" Makena asked and then stared at the wrist that he held out. She glanced up at the man's face, then back at his wrist and then clamped down on it, drinking only just as much as she needed. She pulled her mouth off and licked her lips.

#31 Dec 22nd 2007, 1:52pm

Pulling out a pristine white handkerchief, Tempire wiped her mouth, careful of her new bruise. Then he turned to his wrist, wiping away the blood to reveal new skin, like the injury had never happened.

Kay reapeared.

#32 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:09pm

Makena smiled at him and the bruise soon vanished. She saw Kay and giggled, holding her arms out, "Doggie!"

#33 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:12pm

Wagging her tail, Kay trotted over and licked the infant's face.

#34 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:13pm

Makena giggled all the more and hugged the dog's face. "Nice doggie!"

#35 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:16pm

A ghost of a smile crossed Tempire's face, until shadows filled the room, then recieded, leaving a lady lying on the floor, hands bound, with a hood over her face.

#36 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:18pm

Makena saw the lady and jumped off Tempire's lap. She crawled at high-speed to the prone figure and pulled the hood off.

#37 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:19pm

Joss shimmered into the house, hoping that she wouldn't be noticed.

#38 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:20pm

Aly groaned and at Makena with wide eyes. "Oh no."

#39 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:25pm

Makena stared back, her mouth a small 'O'.

#40 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:26pm

Joss spotted the baby. -Makena!-

#41 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:27pm

-Jossie!- Makena sent back, easily spotting Joss with her infrared vision.

#42 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:30pm

"Hello sister dear," Monique said, coming into the room. Kneeling next to Aly, she jerked her sister's head up by her hair. "See this child?" she asked. When Aly nodded painfully, Monique reached out and grabbed Makena by the neck, a slow smile crossing her face.

Tempire jumped to his feet, eyes wide, but stopped, stading there with his fists clenched.

"You go tell Arette to come to me, and I'll let the kid go," she said, banging her twin's head into the floor. Rising, she flung the baby at Tempire, who caught her, and strolled out of the room. "Send her to Arette."

Kay padded forward, nosed Aly, and both of them vanished.

#43 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:30pm

"A chevalier?" Monique said, finding Joss.

#44 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:32pm

Joss looked at Monique. "A demon actually. I'm here for the infant."

#45 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:33pm

Makena's squeal was cut short as Monique grabbed her neck and then she was suddenly flung into Tempire's arms. "Aunt Arette!" She called out as Monique left the room.

#46 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:34pm . Edited Dec 22nd 2007, 2:39pm

"Mmm," Monique said carelessly. "You can take her in a little while. I still have buisness with the brat."

#47 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:36pm

((Ooops. Sorry. Monique strolled out of the room, and Aly was sent to Arette))

#48 Dec 22nd 2007, 2:37pm

"Look, **," Joss said, staring at Monique, a fireball forming in one hand. "I'm going to get a pretty penny for taking the infant in to my bosses. So, you can give her to me now or I'll take her by force. It's your choice."
