Mistress of Set: What started out as a day of shopping with the baby took a
dramatic turn. Amidst the racks of baby clothes, Kenya's cuff glowed
brightly. The emblem of the Snake formed upon the polished gold. Kenya slid
her gaze around. As usual, the Snake wasn't easily seen. For the next two hours it
would seem the women were simply being followed by the bitch. Settling in for
lunch, Kenya glanced at Calli. She'd let her the Snake was nearby and
apparently amusing herself with a preverse game of cat & mouse. Yet again,
interruptions as Kenya was called back to the Lair to cover a shift leaving
Callista and her newborn to fend for themselves, in NY and up against the
notorious Snake.-d-
InsatiableMemory: Ever since the cuff had flared to life Calli had been
looking around like she had stolen some precious gem and honestly the only
one she had with her was in her arms. Damned if she was going to let go of
her either. She stuck close to her Sister in law and shook her head softly
as they spoke of the Beloved and her perverse little games. She should be
used to them by now but lets face it she was still pretty new to Inanna's
version of fun and she definatly did not wan't Sapphire involved.
With her in her lap at lunch she looked at Kenya and damn near called her a
traitor for leaving her alone at a time like this but didn't and hugged her
goodbye. She couldn't kill her in the middle of a crowded mall right?
Yeah...sure. She gathered Sapph and slid her back into the stroller and made
her way towards another store. More people that seemed like an amazing idea
but where was the woman and why was she following them??/ --d
Mistress of Set: The flicker of serpent tongue moistened lips as the woman
watched the nervouse new mother. The soft chuckle echoed as the glass was
raised to lips. Her games were always baffling to the masses she held sway
over. Would one die, lose a limb, or even their greatest treasure to the manipulative
bitch? Truly, it depended upon her mood. Beside her, the Deathcard clicked
his claws against the table anxious to begin the blood letting in homage to
his Mistress. Her mood had been black as of late, the gifting of skulls would
surely bring her round. The server approached with the tab, a card flicked
between fingers towards her in silence. Sliding her blue gaze to Shi'ar she
nodded to him. In an instant the wraith was gone as though he'd never been
there..only to flash in and out of Callista's path. At one moment, he even
dangled a claw tipped finger over her newborn's nose. With that..he was gone again.-d-
InsatiableMemory: Baffling was a wrod, down right scary was another couple
she could think of. But still she was being careful and staying as close to
her daughter as she could. Though when she saw the flash in front of her path
like that she blinked and froze a moment but her hand did not, It was moving to
her hip but no way fast enough to grab the thin silver dagger that was there
in time before the wraith was gone. The weapon abandoned she moved around the
stroller and lifted Sapphire into her arms and those dark chocolate eyes
scanned the area. It was never a good sign to see him but she took a breath
and shook her head softly. What cause did she have to take Sapph and in truth
if she wanted to kill her he would have just then. She was playing and there was a
reason. "Beloved I can not greet you if I can not see you." Her voice was as
soft as if she were talking to only her child in the mall but she knew Inanna
never had trouble hearing her before. She moved out of the way of a group of
people as they moved through the store and then over towards more clothing.
May as well fae whatever the Mistress had in store for her. Calli never was
one to run and hide really --d
Mistress of Set: 'How odd, again..Adratha's child bears no resemeblence to
him...save the ears. Perhaps, elven blood is not as strong as I was led to
believe.' The haunting response came from directly behind Callista as the
Snake held an odd toy out to Sapphire. A little shake revealed it was a
rattle..nothing more than of a snake..on a polished stick. Simplicity. What
would one expect out of ancient Egypt?-d-
InsatiableMemory: "She turned and bowed her head to Inanna but hearing her
she smiled a bit and shook her head. "The ears are enough to have the twin
nick naming her pointy my Beloved. Besides she has his rather stubborn
personality I assure you." As she held the toy out over Sapphire Calli eyed it for a
moment as small hands reached for it. Like Calli she was curious and anything
held out to her she wanted but then all children were like that in a way.
When it rattled she coo'd ever so softly and Callista smiled before looking to
Inanna. "To what do we owe the honor of your visit? Did you recieve my note?"
--d
Mistress of Set: 'Then you have my condolences, Callista.' She replied.
Moving around to walk ahead of Callista she nodded once. 'I recieved word
from you, my son, and even Tejar..regarding Sapphire Kabal's birth.'
As if she wouldn't have known without such missives. Spying
on them was yet another of her passtimes. Very little happened in their lives
that the Snake did not know. Eyeing the clothes as she passed racks, the Snake
continued. 'Tell me Callista, what plans have you? Newly wed, newly birthed
child...and yet...you fail to keep your husband's attention.' A cant of her
head to the side. Never one todance around a subject she simply addressed it. 'Was it the
pursuit of a collar, that hurled you from your pedestal my son placed you..so
far casted, he now seeks out a male to replace you?' The curl of lips as
evidently she found Callista's marital woes vastly amusing.-d-
InsatiableMemory: "Well I am glad that they felt it as important as I did
that you were informed." She held Sapph close and floolowed Inanna with a
push of the stroller and she looked through the clothing with her as she
began to speak. though she paused when she spoke of her losing Adratha's attention.
"What do you...?" She stopped when she spoke of her collar and Ravyn and her
hand slid to touch it as she pressed her lips together and looked to Sapphire
and shook her head "We worked all that out Beloved...As for whatever
peditsool he had me on I do not know but he said he took Ryan on because he
had to or he would be lost. He was being hurt and he needed guidance. I can
understand that. I have not been replaced by anyone." She told her what she had been
told that night in the bathhouse when Arda had told her he had taken Ryan
under his care. --d
Mistress of Set: 'Have you learned well, the heart of a man is easily swayed
and today's rose is tomorrow's...weed.' A pause as she eyed Sapphire a
moment. 'Let that be the first of many lessons, the girl learns.' A brow rose
at Calli as she started to raise questions, then supplied answers. Blue eyes
narrowed a bit. 'Was this before or after..he placed the boy in his bed,
obtained him a costly dwelling it appears.?' Once more she smiled, tilting
her head. 'Do you know where he is now, Callista. My noble son, the Destroyer...protecting
a useless human who receives no call from the House of Lords?
The night in question, Adratha made it known he lays claim
to this male.' A little fold of lips then. 'Perhaps, it is as you say...I
trust you have met this man. Do you find favor with him as well..does he
share your bed?' -d-
InsatiableMemory: She looked to Inanna and then looked down a moment to her
daughter. She set her back in the stroller and leaned over her pressing a
kiss to her head before handing her the rattle and turning to face Inanna as
she spoke of Adra not only taking Ryan to his bed but getting him a home?? When
did this happen?!? She shook her head as confussion lit her features a bit
and she sighed as she let her right hand slide through her hair. "Hes
working...at the Dojo I think. He took off for a bit but normally if he leaes
thats where he is going" Thats what she knew to be true in her mind and so
she said it. Though when she said he laid claim to him adn not merely took
him under his care she lifted her head a bit and there was no hiding her suprise.
But it was the last thing she said that sort of slapped her across the face.
She damn ell knew better then to look down or show weakness so she kept
Inanna's gaze and shook her head. "I have never met him only heard of him Beloved.
I might of seen him at Sebastians but I don't know really. As for in my bed
well there are only certain ones allowed there and none have graced it since
before Sapphire's birth." She wasn't going to lie to her. No one Adra and
her agreed upon had been around really not in that compasity. Honestly the
most she had gotten was a hug and some conversation from the brother he truly
dispised....God he would hate that but she was determind Sapphire would know
all of her family. --d
Mistress of Set: Watching Callista's reaction closely she nodded. To think,
they all thought she relied on lies. There was no need when none of them were
intimate with the truth, themselves. 'I see, perhaps you are correct.' Once
more she smiled as if she knew more than Callista did. 'Very well, then.'
Raising her head a bit, she uttered one word. 'Shi'ar.' The wraith appeared
again, flinging his black cloak around them, stroller and all. Whisked to
Carrion Designs, there theystood in the window as the cloak was withdrawn. Nodding her
head she smiled. 'There..is your husband's claim. Lovely..but useless all the
same.' -d-
InsatiableMemory: She better be correct. There was only so much the little
time mage could take right? Though when she said the wraiths name she froze a
moment and then gasped when they were covered in his cloak and taken away.
when she could see clearly once more she looked first to her daughter and
then to the window of Carrion Designs and blinked as she looked inside. She
truly loved this store but she was not sure about taking Sapph inside. As she
pointed out Ryan she licked at her lips and followed the man with her eyes a
moment. Inanna was right of course he was lovely enough but she didn't know
him at all and to know that this was the man in Adratha's bed and to see him
now in front of her she was angry. not at him but at the fact that when it had
come to her wanting Ravyn she had asked Adra first....had him involved and
she had been informed of everything after the fact. "Is he...I mean does he
know I even exsist?" Yeah she was curious and she couldnt remeber if Adra had said
so or not at the moment. --d
Mistress of Set: 'He leaves his work, in a car sent by Adratha and taken
wherever he desires..or simply home. ' The Snake was silent for a moment as
she pondered that. 'I do not know. I have no power over him, he was barely in
my presence before Adratha whisked him from sight.
Studying Callista a moment more she shrugged and placed her
hands on the stroller. 'You look tired, Callista. Perhaps you should return
home and lie down...Shi'ar.' She called out as she began pushing the stroller
and Sapphire away from the store. Once more the Wraith appeared flinging his
cloak, returning them to the Lair and Kenya's suites. Callista was deposited
with a little bounce on her own bed as Shi'ar perched on a chair eyeing her
with a sadistic grin on his face. 'Sleep, woman. My Mistress has the babe.' He
chuckled as her door slammed shut. -d-
