[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?

[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...

[For a moment, she just admires it before looking up at him again.]

I love it.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I'm glad...

[Stepping back, he sat on the arm of the sofa. With all the events coming up, now was as good of a time as any to discuss it with her.]

Marishka, I've been meaning to ask you... there's a party coming up to celebrate the second anniversary of the hospital. Would you like to accompany me as my date?

[Her head tilts as she recalls the other meaning for the word 'date'. It does take her a moment though.]

A party?

action

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Mm, yes. A chance to dress up and get out of the apartment for an evening. If you're interested, I'll call and make sure that there's something for you to drink while there.

[And she smiles again.]

Yes. I would like to go.

action

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'll make the necessary arrangements then.

[He stood, moving towards the kitchen for a drink.]

Also, it seems that we may be entertaining a guest this weekend. Just for a few hours, but I think it'd be nice for you to have the chance to widen your circle of friends. I hope that you don't mind...

[The Chevalier paused at the cabinet, glancing back to see if he should grab one glass or two.]

Would you care for a drink?

[Following after him, she nods.]

Yes. I would like one.

[Her eyes flash yellow at the thought of drinking blood as they always do.]
