60th Devotion: Gifts of Appreciation

[Accidental Video]

[Solomon enters the room, his footsteps light as he makes his way over to the network device on the table. All of his attention is on the object in his hands, and his voice is soft, carrying an undertone of amusement in it.]

I suppose... I should 'thank' those hunters that drove her into my life after all... Marishka... do you even know how happy I am that you're living with me right now? What would have become of me otherwise?

[He sits, pulling a sparkling golden pendant up into the air, watching it intently as it spins in front of his eyes for a moment before spotting the little red light that signifies he's being recorded. Sighing, he turns his attention to the voyeuristic crowd.]

... honestly. Can't a man have some privacy in his own home? .........................................

Oh, very well... if you must.  Marishka... I have something for you. A gift.

[From her room, she hears that there is a gift for her and she comes out with curiosity lighting up her eyes.]

A gift?

Yes, my dear...

[He stands, gracefully crossing the room with but a few steps. Smiling, he holds up the necklace so that she may see...]

I got you something... a token of my esteem... Do you like it?

[Seeing the necklace, she rushes forward smiling brightly.]

So pretty!

Here.

[He moves behind her, brushing the hair from her shoulders.]

Allow me...

[Holding her hair out of the way, she watches the jewel as he puts it on her. Her fingers brushing it once it's around her neck.]

So beautiful.

[His fingers trailed down her arm as he walked back to see for himself.]

Yes. It suits you well...

[fowlprodigy.livejournal.com]

I could code your device to hopefully prevent some of these accidental entries.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be nice...

[Private]
Any word about that 'special' project I have you working on?

[fowlprodigy.livejournal.com]

I will stop by tomorrow then.

[Private]

The process has been slow and without much success. Actually, the best way to put it is that there has been no success at all.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Would it help you to work with a team?

Private

[fowlprodigy.livejournal.com]

Unlikely.

[mercifulsun.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it takes bad circumstances to meet good people. That's how I met Esther.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I quite agree. Is Esther here with you in the City?

[mercifulsun.livejournal.com]

She arrived recently.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ah, how nice... surely, there's hope for Saya.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with the person who said that sometimes bad situations lead to meeting good people.

Very nice necklage.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Hm, yes.

It's quite becoming on her, wouldn't you agree?

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure who the her is, so I can't say.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, how rude of me. Marishka is currently sharing my apartment with me...

Would you like to meet her? Perhaps you can come over for drinks sometime?

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Marishka? That's a really unique name.

Sure, I'd like that.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

It is a lovely piece.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Made lovelier by the one who wears it now...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I am in full agreement on that.

(Private)

Do let her know the 'vampiric lawman' (http://itextedyou.livejournal.com/2933.html) has become less of a concern.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh? Was this one of the men responsible for her capture? Forgive me, but I suppose I've been a bit... distracted lately, so I'm afraid I haven't been keeping up on other matters.

No; wasn't in the City at that time.

It seems so long as none of his kin are present here, he won't take up the badge.
