Katherine: Cool, ready too.. Katherine could invite her somewhere to meet then
or will meet her somewhere depending on what she would be more comfortable with.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: Adele would be comfortable meeting with Adele wherever she'd like, ceding
to the noble's decision in the matter. She would offer her home as a meeting
place if Lady Katherine desires, or if not, whatever suitable location she'd
like.
Katherine: Then she'll invite Adele to a penthouse suite at the Four Seasons. And
she'll be shown up when she gets there. Depending on the time of day, there will
also be refreshments prepared for them.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: The slaugh makes her way to the place around early evening, making her
way up behind the person leading her there. To mortal eyes, she's dressed
appropriately...something victorian and high-necked for the staff to see. Of
course, to Fae eyes, she looks the same as always. She slips quietly along to
the penthouse, entering after the hotel staff shows her in.
Katherine: There are signs that Katherine might have had a bit of a late lunch. The
woman is sitting in the living room when she is shown in, reading through what
looks like some documents in folders that she sets aside when she see's the
slaugh. Katherine smiles to her as she rises to greet her. "Thank you for
coming, can I have something brought up for you?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She inclines her head and shoulders in a curtsy to the woman. "No,
Milady," she whispers with a small smile. "I am quite well. Thank you, though,
for your consideration, and for calling upon me to meet. It is a pleasure to do
so."
Katherine: She smiles softly and gestures then to the sitting area. "How have you
been?" she asks casually as she gets comfortable once more. She is dressed in a
simple pair of slacks and blouse for the get together. Nothing overly fancy at
all really.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She moves and settles herself into a seat, hands folding in her lap. "As
well as ever, Milady. And yourself?"
Katherine: "Well enough." she says. "I have been well, and it is good to hear that
you are well. I wanted to speak with you again, without the distractions and
eyes of others upon us."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She takes the statement with a simple, tiny smile. "Thank you, Lady. I
must confess that I find Dawson's a rather ill-suited place for any real
conversation. Too full of certain elements I do not find myself overly fond of."
Katherine: "Very true, I doubt I will be visiting it again. Without good reason
that is." she says with a little smile. "I was curious though, if you had heard
of the recent rumors that are floating about?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "In regards to which?" She tilts her head a little bit. "I have heard
several things floating around...Theaters and Treaties, and other such things."
Katherine: "The Treaty actually." she says with a little nod.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Ahhhh." It comes out, quiet as it is, almost like a sigh then an actual
response. She nods a little bit. "I have heard some few things of the matter,
yes."
Katherine: "Unfortunately this is the first that I have heard that there might be
division among the Fae when it comes to the Treaty."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She nods a little bit, sighing silently. "I must confess as to being
somewhat out of the loop in terms of the nobility's stance on the matter...not
surprisingly, of course. For my part, I have found myself in no occasion to need
to call upon the Treaty's provisions, so it has not yet troubled me."
Katherine: "Agreed, it is much the same with me but the Nobles are indeed divided
on how best to approach it. I for one would rather remain out of any so called
Treaty, we have not had problems in the past to need it so why expose ourselves
to it?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She considers the sidhe's words for a moment, frowning thoughtfully. "I
don't disagree, Milady. I certainly have no desire to allow my secrets to need
to be revealed...and to be perfectly frank, I believe myself canny enough to
evade such difficulties."
Katherine: "Yes, and the only encounter I have had with the Prodigels since coming
to New York proves to me that we have nothing to fear from them. Our old
agreements hold true, and the others know to avoid interfering with us. It
troubles me though that the... Commoners might be or have even made contact of
their own and undermine all of our efforts."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She crosses her ankles, regarding Katherine's words. "I have yet to have
need or desire to speak with Elias on the matter...you do bring up an excellent
point, however. I am sure that Dawson's is happily involved with the entire ugly
mess...I do not yet know the train yard's official position."
Katherine: "I am hopelessly cut off from ever learning much about what might be
going there. Either group though could actively be seeking advantages I am
afraid."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She nods a little bit. "I can certainly speak with Elias. As to those at
Dawsons..." She frowns. "While I am welcome there, I do not find my presence
relished quite the same way that redcaps, pooka, and drunken, vomiting satyrs
are. I can try to learn what I may, but it will be a touch more difficult, I
imagine."
Katherine: She grins a bit more about Adele says, "I would certainly appreciate
anything that you could assist in the matter. In the mean time I will be looking
into the rumors surrounding Alsun. I think there might be an opportunity there."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Lady Wallace?" Her head cocks. "I have heard of her, but not yet spoken
to or met her. What opportunitie do you speak of, if I may ask?"
Katherine: "That she has ... vanished." she says with a bit of a smile. "I have not
spoken with her ... well more to the point. I have spoketn to her..." and she
shrugs her shoulders. "But she seems ill prepared for the position that she has
been placed."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "I see." She gives a ghost of a smile, nodding slightly to the comment.
"A situation which must surely find cause to be rectified, should someone more
suitable be found."
Katherine: "Exactly." she says with a little nod and smile. "So we shall just have
to see what happens next I suppose." and she pauses, taking a deep breath before
continuing. "On a slightly related topic, I have taken on a ... student." she
says with a bit of a displeased face. "Moira."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Miss Connelly." Her look might be interpreted as sympathetic, beneath
the calm, courteous demeanor. "I am sure, Milady, that under your tutelage, she
will be quite able to flourish within our world."
Katherine: She chuckles slightly, "We shall hope. She has run afoul of the wrong
people it seems and is seeking assistance. So if you would be so kind, please
let me know of any problems you might come aware. Perhaps we can later even have
a little fun at her expense. Just to see how she handles herself of course." and
she winks.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "I would be more then happy to aid you in whatever manner you require, of
course." The hint of a smile. "My eyes and ears are at your disposal in this
manner."
Katherine: "Thank you. She is certainly an amusing young woman. So, is there
anything I could do to help you?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "For me?" She raises a brow and considers the question. "As a matter of
fact...perhaps there is, milady. Are you, perchance, aware of the situation that
recently reached a resolution of sorts regarding a blade, a lighter, and a
pendant?"
Katherine: "No, I am rather in the dark about certain situations."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She nods. "The bulk of the matter is not of import...however, I happened
to be in the vicinity when the culprit behind the entire affair was eliminated
by a Miss Stevie, among others. The cluprit was a member of your own, esteemed
kith...surely, one gone astray from his sanity through some means or another.
During the melee, I observed a dark form appear and fire a dart into the
culprit, then vanish. I must admit, this person's identity is a mystery to me,
and one I find a most curious one."
Katherine: She listens and then nods slightly, seeming thoughtful. "Yes, I can see
why it would. Do you know what House this culprit was a member? And perhchance
do you have anything to go on about this figure?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "The culprit was a Lord Janothek...House Ailil, as I believe. A
rather...distinctive individual, with appendages of clockwork. As to his
assailant..." She frowns and shakes her head. "I am afraid not. I do, however,
have the dart in my possession. I could bring it to you to examine, if you
believe it might help."
Katherine: "Yes, it very well might. I have certain allies who might beable to
shine some light on the weapon. Perhaps know of who might use it even. It pays
to have tallented individuals on retainer." she says with a little grin. "I will
also look into this Lord, and see who might have reason to silence him. Though I
can imagine enough reasons though to give me a start."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She nods a little. "I will then endeavor to deliver it to you when I get
a chance. I have no doubt, the situation as it is, that the aid was
justified...still, one who would remain quiet while providing such aid intrigues
me."
Katherine: "Yes, though following the trail could lead to unwanted trouble. How far
are you willing to go?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She considers it with an upward curl of the corners of her mouth. "As far
as is necessary, Milady. Of course, I would wish nothing that would endanger
your person to occur...my questions are my own. But it is, thus far, the most
intriguing thing I have found, and deserves it's due attention."
Katherine: "I am not so much concerned about myself, my connections will most
likely be useful. Your own safety is more of a concern for me though. If there
is some secret being covered up, it very well could spell doom for whoever
uncovers it."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She smiles graciously. "Your concern, Milady, is noted and appreciated.
However, one does not find reward without certain risk, and it is one I accept."
Katherine: "So you are looking for ... a reward?"
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "The reward, Milady, is in the answer itself."
Katherine: She smiles softly and nods. "Very well. Then I will do what I can for
you."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Thank you, Milady." She inclines her head to the sidhe. "It would be
most appreciated."
Katherine: "Think nothing of it. We are helping each other afterall." she says with
a soft smile.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "We are, indeed." She returns the smile, hers a touch more muted,
perhaps...tempered by pure courtesy and her formal nature. "Is there anything
else that I may provide aid with, MIlady?"
Katherine: "No, there is no need to get ahead of ourselves."
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Of course." She nods. "If that is all, Milady, may I take my leave? I
would stay, at your leisure, but it appears that I have some people to speak
with, and an item to retrieve for you. I will contact you in order to deliver it
soon."
Katherine: "No, I thank you for your time. And please, contact me should you need
anything else." she says while standing up.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She stands and delivers anothe small curtsy. "Of course. And, of course,
the offer is reciprocated. May you have a good evening, Lady Katherine."
Katherine: "I wish you the same." she says and then shows her out.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: And off she heads.
