Florentina Larione: "See you later, Joshua." She waves with a warm smile before turning to Gavin.

Gavin Brooke: There's a sudden flury of movement out of Gavin as he puts on his coat, all the while watching Joshua as he starts to head off.

Eddie (with Zeke): you do it good, too. *smiles warmly to the pleased little boy. tilts her head at Josh* aw, so soon? urm. you should come by soon, too. help us break in teh new grill. we can cook steaks. *a big grin*

Joshua Coil: *He nods.* Don't stay out too late? *he offers to Eddie. Zeke looks tired.

Eddie (with Zeke): *nods to Josh* we'll be heading home, soon. promise, Unca Josh. *a wide, warm grin. Zeke waves to both Josh and Kris*

Joshua Coil: *He nods, and then walks out of the park.*

Gavin Brooke: He smiles over to Lily and Tina. "I've not seen either of you around here before. New to the city?" he asks casually as he studies the pair one at a time.

Lily Douglas: "Oh, she smiles up to him and stands up finally, stretching a bit since she's been sitting so long. "I'm Lily. Nice to meet you...?"

Florentina Larione: "Yeah, I'm from Chicago. I just arrived not too long ago." For now, she's merely smiling pleasantly.

Eddie (with Zeke): *sighs softly, hugging her little boy* we had really better get home. you guys have fun, aight? *grins widely*

Florentina Larione: "Take care, Eddie..Zeke. It was nice meeting the two of you."

Gavin Brooke: "Travel safely Eddie." he says to her before looking back to Tina and Lily. "I'm Gavin Brooke." he says to Lily and then to Tina. "From Chicago, come to view the sites?"

Lily Douglas: She glacnes over to Eddie. "Thank you Eddie again for the food and drink and change. I really hope another time I can repay you for it. Have a good night," sheh grins and waves at Zeke. "Bye. Nice meeting you too."

Florentina Larione: "No, graduate work mostly. And opportunites." She runs a hand through her hair.

Gavin Brooke: "And what type of opportunties?" he asks to Tina with another glance to Lily.

Eddie (with Zeke): nice meeting both of you, too. Gavin keep it chill. welcome, Lily. *Zeke bobs his head shyly and slides off the bench, heading to the nearest trash can to throw away his cup all by himself with an endearingly intent look on his face. Eddie chuckles and rises to follow him*

Lily Douglas: "Nice to meet you Gavin."

Florentina Larione: "Just a date with destiny, I guess." She chuckles a little. "I heard that you're a big guy around these parts."

Eddie (with Zeke): *the pair heads off into the night, the child trotting a bit ahead to peer closely at various green growing things. but always keeping one eye on Eddie*

Gavin Brooke: "Is that what you hear?" he asks with more of a look to Tina and then one to as Lily as he takes a deep breath. Almost like he were puffing up proudly.

Lily Douglas: She gets all uncomfortable again seeing the deep breath. "Oh shit, I'm sorry....where'd Kristina go. I was supposed to get a shower.....and I missed my chance."

Gavin Brooke: "Didn't she give you a card?" he asks Lily with a smile. "Or do you need some money for the cab ride?"

Lily Douglas: "She said it was a shelter place. I don't know where it was."

Gavin Brooke: He nods some and looks to Florentina for a moment with a bit of a smile. "So does this Destiny have a name or will it be a total blind date?" and then he reaches for his phone and looks through his address book. "Let me call Selena, she's the one that runs it."

Lily Douglas: She starts to blush a little. "Everyone has been more than nice to me tonight."

Florentina Larione: "I think it's a bit of a blind date." A slight chuckle and she quiets for a moment.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: The Gaian makes his way into the Park, dressed in the casual trench look...poet's shirt and leather pants, not business casual. The hair is pulled back, staff tapping on the ground as he makes his way in and along, just a little bit tense. Always is.

Lily Douglas: "I was looking for the Broad way...and darn it too if Eddie didn't leave before showing it to me on my map." It's way too dark for her to see that well now, and her flashlight was almost dead. No need to waste those batteries.

Lily Douglas: The brown sweater she wears is very well worn with a hole in one elbow, the edges around the cuffs are already frayed. Her pants have about the same kind of well-worn appearance with several small holes in them and they do look dirty in spots. Her shoulder-length light brunette hair though is very neatly combed and feathered back away from her face. Her blue eyes display a playfulness to them. And over her shoulder is a satchel with some sewn patches on them from a few national parks and other places of interest. The boots she wears are a bit muddied in places, making it difficult to tell their true color.

Gavin Brooke: He nods some to Tina with a little smile as he stands there waiting for Selena to pick up. "Well, destiny better treat you nicely then."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: As paranoid as he is, it's not difficult to notice the group of three, and he looks over that way, stopping a moment as he recognizes Gavin. There's a moment's consideration, his back straight and tense, before he forces ease into his frame and alters course to approach the group.

Gavin Brooke: "Hello Selena, I've got someone here who could use some crash space and a shower." he says into the phone.

Gavin Brooke: "Would you like to talk to Selena about the Shelter?" he asks to Lily ash e looks over to Aerin as he makes his way over. Starting to offer the phone to the bum looking woman.

Florentina Larione: She looks around with a warm smil before refocusing on Gavin.

Lily Douglas: "Oh, as long as you can point me in the right direction I'll be fine," she smiles, looking at the phone, well, squinting some at it.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He gives a respectful nod to Gavin as he approaches, smiling courteously as he stops. The end of his staff comes to rest on the ground. "Mr. Brooke. Good to see you, sir...how are you?" He looks to Lilly and Tina briefly, offering them smiles and nods, but doesn't say anything to them until Gavin's had a chance to respond.

Gavin Brooke: He takes it back. "Alright, I'll have her over shortly. She's ... family sort of so if there are any problems let me know." and then hangs up. He then looks more to Lily, pulling out his wallet and a hundred on which he writes an address with a small pen. "The address is on the bill, just tell the cabbie to take you there."

Lily Douglas: She again notes the reaction to Gavin. Curiouser and curiouser. As Aerin gets better into her line of sight she smiles to him. "Hello."

Lily Douglas: Her eyes nearly pop out and her jaw drops seeing the bill he pulls out and writes on.

Florentina Larione: "Hey, there." She gives Aerin a warm, friendly smile.

Gavin Brooke: "Well enough." he says to Aerin. "And yourself?" he asks the other man.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I'm...well." He shrugs a bit. "Busy, as always. No rest for the wicked, as they say." He looks to Lily and Tina and smiles to them now. "Hello."

Florentina Larione: "I'm Tina." She offers him her hand for a shake.

Lily Douglas: She does take the bill, and folds it up neatly, actually into an origami swan.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He reaches out to take the offered hand and shake it. "Aerin. A pleasure to meet you, Tina."

Lily Douglas: "Oh, I'm Lily," she's hardly looking at the little creation she's making in her hands.

Florentina Larione: "A pleasure to meet you too, Aerin." Her smile widens into a grin.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "And a pleasure to meet you too, Lily."

Gavin Brooke: He smiles some with a nod to Aerin. "Thats good to hear. I was just getting to know our two newest arrivals. Though Lily here is certainly an honor to meet." he says with a nod to her before looking back to Tina. "And Tina here is from chicago. Going on a date with Destiny soon."

Lily Douglas: She smiles back to Aerin. "Oh, I'm from Wyoming."

Florentina Larione: She laughs softly, going back to sipping her drink from Starbucks.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: Mention of Chicago brings a tightening of his shoulders, but he quirks his lips into a slight, belying smile. "Destiny? Mmm. I dated her sister Murphy for a while. Still sort of an on-again, off-again relationship." He smiles to Tina, and looks over to Lily. "I don't doubt that it is an honor."

Victor Slade : *the stoic man makes his way into the park walking slowly although perhaps with a purpose in mind. He carries with him a long case, metallic looking in nature, what could be inside?*

Florentina Larione: "Between you and I, I've heard that they're both stormy bitches, but that's just the way it is sometimes." She laughs a little.

Lily Douglas: She starts playing with the hundred dollar bill, unfolding it and making it into a fish.

Victor Slade : *he's drawn in the direction of the voices although he's certainly in no rush. He moves slowly and casually towards them. He spots a familiar face from a distance.*

Caroline McGregor: *And here she comes, dressed up tonight in a dress in heels, a longer jacket thrown over it to ward off the chill.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Yeah, they certainly can be." He nods to Tina with a chuckle.

Grace Brenner: Grace enters the park, walking slowly with her hands in her pockets, looking around and carefully taking in her surroundings. She's a slender young woman with oriental features (Korean, if you can tell), 5'6" or so, and while she's not exactly stunning, her face is pretty enough. Wearing faded jeans, pink and white sneakers and a black jacket with the star of life embroidered over her heart. ( PM for a pic )

Florentina Larione: "I'm glad I'm a confirmed bachelorette, no matter what my mother says."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: d10: Per+Alert: 5,7,7,10,9,9,

Lily Douglas: The brown sweater she wears is very well worn with a hole in one elbow, the edges around the cuffs are already frayed. Her pants have about the same kind of well-worn appearance with several small holes in them and they do look dirty in spots. Her shoulder-length light brunette hair though is very neatly combed and feathered back away from her face. Her blue eyes display a playfulness to them. And over her shoulder is a satchel with some sewn patches on them from a few national parks and other places of interest. The boots she wears are a bit muddied in places, making it difficult to tell their true color. Right now, she's standing near Gavin, playing origami with hundred dollar bill.

Gavin Brooke: Gavin nods some as he watches, looking to Lily a bit while she folds up the bill like that. He seems to be thinking a bit on something when he watches her but doesn't say anything for the moment.

Victor Slade : *he approaches Gavin and those gathered around the regal Grand Elder. He dips his head respectfully to the other Silver Fang and greets him with a tone worthy of Gavin's station* Evening Gavin. It is good to see you again.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: Oooh, paranoia pays off again. He looks over his shoulder, catching movement, and notes Caroline, Victor, and Grace all entering the park. He smiles to Caroline, and watches the other two appraisingly.

Grace Brenner: Spotting the group of people, she pauses to observe them discreetly from a distance.

Gavin Brooke: He turns his eyes to Victor and nods to him with a bit of a smile. "Ah, good to see you again as well. It is so good of you to come and help us out." he says casually while glancing back to Aerin, Lily, and Tina.

Caroline McGregor: *Lookee that..a gaggle of garou. Makes her way over, smiling a greeting at Aerin.* Evening people.

Victor Slade : ~description~ Calm and collected Slade is a handsome man in his very late 20s. He stands an even 6 feet and is well built weighing around 180 pounds. Dark hair and dark eyes convey a somewhat mysterious looking appearance to the man. He walks with confident stride and never hesitates to make eyecontact with any who he encounters. (Pure Breed 3)

Florentina Larione: "Hey, Carrie." She gives her a warm smile. "I like the outfit, how are you today?"

Grace Brenner: d10: Perception: 9,2,6,3,

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Hey, Caroline." He smiles to her again, then looks to Victor...even, yet polite. "Hello."

Caroline McGregor: *Her smile widens at Tina.* Not bad. We had a retirement party for someone at work...my goodness can the champagne flow.

Victor Slade : *he nods once more to Gavin* I always heed the call of my Brethren. I am happy to assist. *his tone is one of stoicism though so if he's truly happy it's difficult to tell*

Grace Brenner: There's something... familiar about some of them, though she's relatively sure she hasn't met them before. A certain wildness under the surface. Just what she was looking for, perhaps.

Victor Slade : *he nods to Aerin inspecting him for a moment* You match the description of the one I seek. Are you Aerin Thomas?

Gavin Brooke: "I believe this here is the man you shall be assisting." he says to Victor. "Aerin, I would like for you to meet Victor Slade"

Victor Slade : *he had spoken too quickly. He offers Gavin an apologetic nod for his misstep. * Excuse me Gavin, I did not mean to be so forward.

Lily Douglas: She glances up hearing some others approach, really not having seen them that easily. Hands stop with the origami finally, a bird this time for her creation.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Victor." He smiles gratfully to Gavin for the introduction, and looks to Victor with a polite nod, hand extending. "A pleasure to meet you."

Victor Slade : *he takes Aerin's hand and shakes it briefly* Most call me Slade, but one of your station can call me what you wish.

Caroline McGregor: *A glance towards Aerin and Victor, trying not to appear too curious.*

Grace Brenner: She approaches the group, though somewhat hesitantly; not getting too close yet as they seem to be having some sort of meeting and she would not wish to interrupt. How does one handle these things in public anyhow? she wonders. She glances at the three women; unsure about them.

Gavin Brooke: He smiles with a shrug to Victor as he steps over closer to Lily. "So what brings you to New York?" he asks the woman.

Florentina Larione: She just sits back and listens, watching all of them. It's best to be quiet and learn all she can for the moment.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "I apologize for not calling you sooner...Michelle had left me a voice mail a couple days ago, but things have been quite busy."

Caroline McGregor: *And another glance towards Grace, giving her a sympathetic smile.* You look lost, can I help?

Victor Slade : *ever alert he glances towards Grace as she approaches. By force of habit he inspects her closely, although his look is more of checking her for hidden weapons then it is checking her out*

Victor Slade : d10: Per+lore: 9,8,3,5,9,2,

Lily Douglas: "I'm looking for the Broad way.."

Grace Brenner: An easy smile at Caroline. "I was kind of hoping it wasn't that obvious. Not lost, exactly, just looking for someone I guess."

Florentina Larione: "Sounds like you guys had a fun time." A quick grin sent Carrie's way.

Victor Slade : *he looks back to Aerin* It is not a problem. From what I understand you're a busy man.

Caroline McGregor: Oh? Did they say to meet you here? *she'd seen the more than casual interest the woman exhibited towards the little group.*

Caroline McGregor: *A chuckle.* Tina: Well...when Karaoke started breaking out I decided it might be time to leave.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I tend to be, yeah." He nods and looks over to Caroline...she looks busy in conversation, and Gavin's moved on to Lily, so he looks back to Victor. "Where did you come in from?"

Gavin Brooke: "Were you wanting to catch a show?" he asks to Lily with a glance to Grace as the others speak to her.

Grace Brenner: "Not exactly; they don't know I'm here tonight. But I know this is where they hang out, so I figured it was worth a shot." The easy smile remains, though she's not entirely comfortable with the beating around the bush.

Lily Douglas: "I'm not sure yet. I figured once I found it then I'd know for sure."

Victor Slade : Out west, I was...helping to quell an outbreak there. Los Angeles is..a vile hole. *he shrugs lightly although his words are spoken plainly almost without any hint of emotion despite the dark connotation* Here is not the proper place to discuss things indepthly. I just wished to let you know I'd arrived and that my aid is yours to do with as you wish. *when he says the word aid he glances down to the case he holds in his left hand*

Gavin Brooke: "I'm sure Selena, or one of the people at the shelter will be happy to show you where it is. If not come and look me up alright?" he says to Lily with a warm smile to the woman. Then glances to Aerin and Victor to see how they are both doing.

Caroline McGregor: Hmmmm...well what do they look like, if you don't mind my asking? Perhaps I've seen them around here. *a quick glance towards the others 'cause she's kinda getting the feeling this is more than a casual conversation.*

Lily Douglas: "So I can find you here, Gavin? I like it here. Still in the cement jungle, but there is this wonderful place, hidden in the trees."

Florentina Larione: She stretches a little, scratching her head while she looks at the group, trying to memorize names and faces.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "Yeah, I've been to L.A. It's...an experience." A little smile, though, when he offers his help, eyes following to the case. "Your help will be most appreciated, though. We can use all we can get."

Grace Brenner: "Kind of a wild bunch, I reckon." A brief grin. "I'm afraid I can't go into detail, because I haven't seen them yet. Family of sorts, you could say, but ones I've yet to meet."

Caroline McGregor: *Another little glance back towards Victor and Aerin, than she looks back to Grace.*

Gavin Brooke: "Yes, you can often find me around here." he says to her with a little smile to the woman. "And yes, it is rather special."

Lily Douglas: "I can feel it. A very special place," she nods emphatically.

Victor Slade : Are you experienced with firearms Mr. Thomas? *he asks quietly*

Caroline McGregor: *How very odd...in any other circumstance but the one that brings most people here.* Ahhhh gotcha. Distant relatives?

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I am," he says with a nod. His eyes tend to flick back and forth as they talk, between Gavin and Caroline, around in genral, then to Victor again. "Not as experienced as I would like, but I do have some skill, yes."

Caroline McGregor: d10: perc + lore: 6,1,10,10,3,2,

Grace Brenner: "Indeed. Anyhow, I just figured I'd take a look around for them here."

Victor Slade : Malcolm informed me of the most scant details of your plan. Marksmen it would seem are something you are in need of. *he says quietly* That is my specialty..here..in the case..is the deadly arm that makes such prowess of true worth. *his words may sound arrogant but his tone is simply matter of fact*

Gavin Brooke: He nods with more of a smile, then looks to Grace finally and how Caroline is dealing with the situation. For the moment just letting the young woman do her thing. His attention though does drift over to Aerin and Victor with a thoughtful look.

Victor Slade : *he looks towards Gavin* I've brought something for you as well Gavin, I would have brought it had I expected to encounter you this night. When next we meet I shall impart it upon you. *likely a gift to show respect for being allowed into the Grand Elder's territory*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods a little bit. "Excellent. Perhaps...not something to discuss here, though. For a later time, perhaps?" He looks over at Grace, then back to Victor.

Florentina Larione: She relaxes, of course. She's among family and she's smiling warmly.

Victor Slade : Of course. Shall we exchange a bit of information then Mr. Thomas...to facilitate discussion in a more proper location?

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "Of course." He dips his hand into the pocket of his trench coat and comes out with a card with his number on it. It's handed over with a courteous smile.

Grace Brenner: Caroline: "So, I take it you know these guys?" Nodding in the general direction of the men, some of whom she's pretty sure of... she just can't tell with Caroline.

Lily Douglas: Lily grins more about something as she listens to the various conversations.

Victor Slade : *he takes the card and responds with where he can be reached. He's staying at the Plaza* I shall take my leave, contact me at your leisure Mr. Thomas, may your inner light guide you through these dark days. *he dips his head respectfully to Aerin once more and then glances around quickly again*

Caroline McGregor: *She looks at her thoughtfully for a moment.* Well, I think you've probably come to the right place since you were sent here. I'm Caroline McGregor, by the way. I have quite a few relatives, disclosed and undisclosed wandering around. *she chuckles a little.* We could be related.

Florentina Larione: She moves over to Gavin after checking her watch. "Um, I have to get going and sleep. But I ought to talk to you more in depth later." An apologetic smile.

Grace Brenner: She grins. "Grace Brenner. A pleasure to meet you."

Caroline McGregor: Brenner hmmmm....Well I know I'm scots and irish. What about you? *inquisitive.*

Gavin Brooke: He looks to Tina and smiles. "I would like that, it is always good to get to know people better. I'm usually around the park most often so not too hard to find me."

Caroline McGregor: Yes, I know most of them, or at least been introduced. You tend to see a lot of the same faces around here, at least at night.

Lily Douglas: "You are very popular, Gavin," she says offhandedly.

Florentina Larione: "That's cool. Let me just give you my number and stuff if you want to get in touch with me." She's finally gotten cards made up, and he gets one of them. "Here you go."

Victor Slade : *he catches Gavin's attention once more before departing out the way he came* Good night Gavin, be well. *he nods to the others as he moves to depart. He exits moving at the same casual pace with which he entered. He seems to be in no hurry*

Grace Brenner: "All American. My dad's like 4th generation German American or something. Mom's 2nd generation Korean American. I'm a mutt." She says it lightly.

Caroline McGregor: Aerin, you have a moment? I'd like to introduce you to someone. *Looks around for the man of the hour.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles and nods to Victor. "Good evening, Victor." He watches him leave and takes a slight lean on his staff, looking around a bit.

Gavin Brooke: Gavin as well pulls out a card to eschange with Tina and smiles to her. "here you go, This has my email and phone numbers on them." and then nods to Lily. "Yes, but it could be worse. I could be hated by everyone."

Florentina Larione: "Thanks." She grins and pockets it before heading for the exit. "It was nice meeting and or seeing you guys again. See ya!" And off she goes.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Hmm?" He was just looking toward Gavin, but his eyes are drawn back to Caroline, and he smiles. "Of course, Caroline."

Lily Douglas: "Oh yes," she nods. "You are very nice. So I can understand why you are liked."

Caroline McGregor: Bye Tina. Be good...well..at least have fun. *grins and turns back as Aerin answers.* Great. Aerin, this is Grace Brenner, she's new in the area. Was told she has some distant relatives that hang out here.

Gavin Brooke: "Its because I bribe people." he says with a playful grin to Lily.

Grace Brenner: She can't help but chuckle at how contrived that sounds, but it was the best she could come up with; and she considered it safe enough. "Hello." A pleasant smile at Aerin.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Oh?" He smiles to Grace after another brief, appraising look, and nods, extending a hand. "Hello. I'm Aerin Thomas. Nice to meet you, Grace."

Gavin Brooke: "Yes, something like that." and he smiles while looking back to Aerin and Grace.

Caroline McGregor: *Now she can let Aerin talk to Grace a bit while she sits down and rests her poor feet. Darned heels. She slips off a shoe and wiggles her toes, sighing in relief.*

Grace Brenner: "East Village." Another brief grin. "I'm local, just haven't gotten around to this before, for various reasons."

Lily Douglas: She continues to listen mostly.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Really?" He blinks and smiles. "You probably lived pretty close to me, then, until not too long ago. I was living right on the edge of Alphabet City."

Gavin Brooke: Gavin watches the two as they talk, standing there with the bum Lily and the occassional glance over to Caroline.

Caroline McGregor: *The other foot gets the same treatment, a glance over at Aerin and Grace, listening to their conversation. champagne's wearing off...pity.*

Grace Brenner: "Almost a neighbor, then. I've only lived there for a little over a year, though, since I got a job at St Vincent's. Grew up in Queens."

Gavriil Kazimir: *wanders in the direction of the park, he hasn't been there in a while, perhaps he should show his face although its not as if anyone has sought him out whilst he was away*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Ahh, okay." He nods. "And you say you have relatives around these parts?"

Grace Brenner: "Yeah, on my father's side of the family. The wild side, you could say." She shrugs with a smile.

Gavin Brooke: "Well it is getting late." he says to Lily. "Would you like me to get you a cab and make sure to get you started in the right direction?" he asks to Lily.

Gavriil Kazimir: *he enters the park taking a few last quick drags from his cigarette before putting it out on his shoe and tossing it into the first garbage can he passes. He hears the quiet sounds of people talking off in the distance and begins to make his way towards them*

Lily Douglas: "That would be most helpful to me Gavin. Thank you." Still holding that bird/bill she pulls her satchel close to her again, protectively.

Caroline McGregor: Oh, Hi Gav, haven't seen you around here in a while. *spying the wandering fellow.*

Grace Brenner: She glances to Gavriil as he approaches, discreetly appraising the man.

Gavriil Kazimir: Hey. *he says quietly to Caroline when he moves up to join the group* I've been...busy. *not exactly too convincingly put*

Grace Brenner: d10: perc: 3,2,7,7,

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks to Gavin, nodding as he appears to be making ready to go, and then back to Grace. "Yeah. Everyone has to have that wild side, I guess, eh?" He smiles.

Gavin Brooke: Gavin looks to Gavriil with a moments curiousity but then shrugs it off as he starts to lead Lily towards one of the exits of the park to get her a cab. He gives a wave to those still gathered and talking.

Caroline McGregor: *Something noticably missing in the man. She pets the bench she's sitting on.* I suppose so. You seem a bit tired, a little paler. Must have been a hard few weeks.

Grace Brenner: "Some more than others. I seemed to pick up a little bit of that from you and that other fellow."

Lily Douglas: Lily follows after Gavin, still keeping some distance afraid she might offend him

Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods respectfully to Gavin when the man spares him a glance. * Hard..not really. Dissapointing..perha

Lily Douglas: (night)

Gavriil Kazimir: (G'night!)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods a bit. "I've got a good, strong touch of it, yes. Perhaps I can introduce you to the right people, when we get a chance."

Gavin Brooke: He takes her out to the sidewalk and hails a cab easily enough, leaning in to give the driver the address to the shelter. He even goes ahead and pays for the fair in advance for Lily.

Caroline McGregor: Ahhhhhh. I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Anything you want to talk about? *expecting to be refused of course. Gav DOES have his pride.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Night!))

Gavriil Kazimir: I've talked all I wish to about it. Accepting the inevitable is sometimes difficult..I am coming to terms with it however.

Grace Brenner: "That would be great." She speaks softly, not whispering, but in a voice that doesn't carry far. "To be honest I find this a little awkward."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles and nods. "It usually is. Luckily, I know a lot of people, so I can probably get you introduced to the right folks."

Gavriil Kazimir: *he glances at Grace inspecting her for a brief moment. He shakes his head and then looks towards Aerin. He nods respectfully to the Adren*

Gavin Brooke: He finally finishes getting her into the Cab and then makes his way back into the Park, heading for the Sept so that he can catch up on things.

Caroline McGregor: I know that feeling. It's a struggle, it certainly is. *She reaches out and gives his hand a little squeeze. It's disconcerting seeing him so, down. Usually he's supercilious as hell.*

Grace Brenner: "I guess I met the right guy, then." She smiles. "I appreciate it."

Gavin Brooke: ((Gota head home :) ))

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: Aerin's eyes pass over Gavriil, and he gives him an even nod, before looking back to Grace. "Any time."

Gavriil Kazimir: *he doesn't pull away but he makes no reaction to Caroline's squeezing of his hand* So, what have you been up to Caroline? You seem...a bit more dressed up than usual. *his tone is rather bland. *

Caroline McGregor: We had a retirement party for someone at work. *Cleans up rather well.*

Grace Brenner: She looks to Gavriil and Caroline, then back to Aerin. Just the four of them left in the immediate area. Perhaps a chance to speak more directly. "You know him?" Indicating Gavriil with a discreet nod.

Gavriil Kazimir: Sounds terribly exciting. *a hint of his true nature perhaps revealed in that* I do not mean to drag down your mood. I shall attempt to be...jovial.

Caroline McGregor: This is Gavriil Kazimir, a friend of mine. Gav, th is is Grace Brenner. She's new to the area. *easily making the introductions.*

Caroline McGregor: Maybe we should go out for bears and drown our sorrows, hmmm? *She says with wry grin.*

Grace Brenner: "Hello." A pleasant smile to Gavriil. "You're all...?" Sort of leaving it open, but the question should be obvious.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I do," he says with a nod. He lets Caroline do the introduction. A slight nod at the half-asked question.

Gavriil Kazimir: I have no desire to go out. *he shrugs and then looks towards Grace. He snorts quietly* I am the same as Mr. Thomas..although of less...signifigance.

Caroline McGregor: *She nods at the unasked question.* I'm more like you though.

Caroline McGregor: *Now that's the Gav she's used to.* Well, I wouldn't want to go out..you'd be cryign in your cups in no time. I'd have to lug you home and there'd be no way to repair your reputation.

Grace Brenner: "Oh, good. All that talking around it was getting on my nerves." She smiles, relieved. "Do you speak openly here? Or only in more secure areas?"

Gavriil Kazimir: Such would damage your reputation as well would it not Caroline?

Caroline McGregor: I don't have anyone to answer to Gavriil. *She points out.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks at Gavriil and smiles a little bit, shaking his head at the man's declaration that he's less significant. A nod, and he looks to Grace. "We have other places for more open conversation. If you'd like, we can go there."

Gavriil Kazimir: *he scoffs at Caroline* We all have those we answer to Caroline.

Grace Brenner: "It's okay, I'm just trying to get an idea of the ground rules here. I need to jet pretty soon anyhow, my shift starts in..." She glances at her watch, and winces slightly as she sees the time. "Five hours, and I gotta get some sleep."

Caroline McGregor: Only about some things. And I hardly doubt having a few drinks with a friend is going to tarnish my reputation any. *she grins a little.* I think it's your reputation you're worried about.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Grace and pulls out a card, handing it to her. "Give me a call, then...we'll get together and talk." The card, for the record, lists his name as a 'Bodyguard for Hire.' And a cell number and email address.

Gavriil Kazimir: Oh? And just what reputation is that? *baiting her a bit but his intent is not malicious*

Grace Brenner: "Thanks, Aerin." She looks the card over. "Nice title." A grin and a slight wink. "We'll meet again, no doubt."

Caroline McGregor: *Shrugs.* That's what I'm trying to figure out. *the baiting is returned.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I look forward to it, Grace." He nods to her with a slight grin. "Be safe and well. Good evening."

Caroline McGregor: Goodnight Grace, be safe. *She calls out to the other woman.*

Gavriil Kazimir: Well, don't dig too deeply Caroline, you may not like what you discover. *he says before glancing once more towards Grace. He gives her a curt and perhaps dismissive nod it's obvious she does not share the same blood as he*

Grace Brenner: "Goodnight. Caroline, Gavriil. Nice meeting you all." Giving them a little wave with her right hand, Aerin's card still in her left, as she heads off.

Caroline McGregor: mmmm..perhaps your right. *she says agreeably.*

Gavriil Kazimir: *he smirks a bit although it's not malicious simply aloof as are most of his gestures and expressions*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He watches Grace leave, then looks over to Gavriil and Caroline, watching quietly.

Caroline McGregor: *She looks over at Aerin and shrugs a little. Gloomy gus here seems to be settling into is crabbiness.*

Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks back towards Aerin* How is Michelle? I've not seen her in a good while.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Michelle is doing quite well," he says with a nod. "As is Annette. I must admit, as sorry as I am for robbing Caroline of a wonderful roommate, it feels good to have her somewhere closer to me, where I can know she's safe. Not that she wasn't safe at Malcolm's, but..." He shrugs a bit. "It sets my mind at ease."

Caroline McGregor: *She'd seen her just the other night, which reminds her of a conversation she needs to have.*

Gavriil Kazimir: A troubled mind can not often think as clearly. *he nods* I believe I will wander home. Allow me to see you safely home first Caroline?

Caroline McGregor: Both Michelle and Annette were a joy to have around. Evan misses them both. *she says with a smile.*

Caroline McGregor: Thank you, Gavriil. Taht would be nice. *she says, slipping on her shoe and rising to her feet.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Caroline. "If you like, I can have her come out to visit fairly regularly," he offers. "I know she and Annette are both very fond of Evan...and you." He gives them both a calm smile as they make to leave.

Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods to Caroline and then turns to Aerin once more* Good night Aerin-rhya. Tell Michelle I said hi if you get the chance. *he heads out with Caroline in the direction of the Guardian Alpha's apartment, he's been there a handful of times and remembers well the way to go*

Caroline McGregor: Well we did talk about having them out for dinner. She said she was going to talk to you about it. *Another smile, plainly fond of hte timid kin and her sister.*

Caroline McGregor: *A soft chuckle as Gavriil starts off and she turns and hurries after him. Fortunately her long legs are an asset and she quickly catches up.* In a hurry are you? *She says amiably.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Will do, Gavriil." He nods to Caroline. "That would be great. I know they'd love it. I'll talk to her about it."

Gavriil Kazimir: *he slows his pace* My apologies.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He waves to them both, and then, with a sigh, makes his own way toward the edges of the Park, to leave. he has places to be.

Caroline McGregor: *and their voices fade away to silence as they leave.*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Thanks for the scene, guys!))
