" I know that kinsington is a dangerous enemy for it. and that is all i NEED To know. I am working to get unto his 'good side'... call me an aristocratic herk, but i find it in m y best interests to stay on the up and up with the upper class thinkers." he said, flinching slightly at the void marks. "OF the void, i will deem you champion.. but when it comes to hell on earth, mind your mannerisms, for I have been present at more then enough councils of demons... so to speak."

Veroen linked his fingers on the table in front him, as he listened to Armand.
"You are an intelligent man, Duke. For that, you have my respect. I will give you credit where it is due concerning these councils of 'demons'. However, you have yet to answer my question."
Veroens face became hard.
"What do you know of Poseidon?"

"Sounds interesting though I don't think its something I should get mixed up with, but if you need my help. Call for me, I will hear you" He said as he got up placing some money on to the bar paying for both of their drinks saying his farewells to Jagger. "Until we see each other again"

"I'm afraid you haven't caught my hint yet, Veroen.... don't know ANYTHING other then the name... and its importance." He said, not at all looking embarrassed as he should, being uninformed.

Veroen was silent for a moment. He leaned back, and crossed his arms as he stared at Armand for a few, silent moments.
'A girl is watching you, Assassin.' The dark voice in Veroen's head which was the voice of the Void.
Veroen did not make any reaction to the Void's words, quite used to it by now. Of course, it was merely a voice in Veroen's dark mind.
"I see. My apologies, Armand. But, perhaps you and I can help each other..."
Veroen looked at Armand, expecting to hear a reply to his words.

"Mayhaps..." Armand pondered. "That girl.. hmm... Veroen...I will aid you in every way possible, but should it inconvenience me, I will part ways with you in an instant.. am i clear?" he said, smiling but a little bit, then he stared right at Jagger, and wouldn't break eye contact for all the gold in england.

Jagger looked at Armand for a moment,then looked away once more.Damn.she scolded herself.She took one last sip of her drink then rose from her seat.She nodded at the bartender and turned to the stairs.She stopped near to very top,squeezed through a few people, and looked over the railing at partygoers on the floor. Then watched Armand and the other man as she remained unseen.

Veroen closed his eyes and angled his face slightly down. For a few moments the thought about this.
"Crystal, Duke." Veroen replied, showing that he understood.
"I have many connections, Armand. There are many things I can do to help you as well. Being an Assassin requires...a good poker face, if you get what I mean. An assassin requires many resources to do what he does, and that is only gained by getting on the good side with those that matter. And I believe that is half the reason why you are keeping on Kensington's good side, because it is a convenience to you."
Veroen was silent for a moment.
"And having me on your side, Duke, will be much more convenient than having Kensington on your side, I can assure you. However, I am not asking you to give up your ties with Kensington. On the contrary, your growing friendship with the man is the sole reason that I have approached you this evening."
Veroen glanced behind him, towards Jagger. He could not have anyone else, besides himself and Armand , knowing about what Veroen was going to say next.
The atmosphere around Veroen and Armand darkened. The air got thick, and heavy. A sort of invisible dome manifested itself around Veroen and Armand's table, blocking out any sound from the club, as well as keeping any part of Veroen's next words from escaping into the ears of unwanted eavesdroppers. This was possible by Veroen's dark connection with the Void.
Quite simply, Veroen and Armand could not hear anything except for themselves, and nobody could hear Veroen and Armand unless they were at that particular table.
"Now, I don't want any unwanted listeners to hear this next part. This is for your ears only, Armand. In exchange for the many things I have to offer, will you be my inside man for me, concerning Kensington? I would do so myself, But I have become disliked by the Coven for personal reasons."
The invisible Void barrier around the two Vampires made sure no one could hear their conversation.

Lyra watched as he threatened her every time she moved. Lyra may have been ignorant to the ways of the Lycan, but she was not stupid. She stayed still then, wondering if he would leave her alone if she did so. She watched, just wanting to get away from him. It didn't help that she was starting to get a headache. She supposed it was because she hadn't really eaten that day, or maybe it was because of her change.
Her eyes wandered, no longer worried about the lycan infront of her, instead she was curious as to what she had become and to what ends. She still had her coherent thought for now, the only thing that had changed was her physical appearance. She made a weird noise to indicate her disgust with what she had become and cast another angry glare to the wolf-thing in front of her.

"Heh... sneaky, one, isnt he armand?" Came a voice as an ethereal Raven appeared, next to Armand head, looking smug in its swirling misty black and purple colors.
"A man after my own heart, Kaw." he said, acknowledging that the creature was his unseen familiar. IN the void sphere around them, he was invisible to the rest of the club. his cackly high pitched voice unheard except to Veroen.
"Meet my business associate, Kaw, A totem spirit and master riddler. We agree to your terms, Veroen." He smiled, the crow winging above his head and perching there.

Jagger watched with wonder as she found she could not hear them anymore."What the...."her voice trailed off.She had a look of frusturation on her face and turned her attention back to the dancers on the dancefloor.We will speak soon,Armand.she thought.

Veroen glanced up at the appearance of Kaw. This intrigued the Void Master. an impressed expression found its way onto Veroen's face.
"Impressive, Duke. There are few that I have known that have dove into the world of Totem Spirits."
A satisfied grin crept onto Veroen's lips.
"Excellent. I'm sure that this agreement of ours will come to both our benefits. Here," Veroen waved a finger, and a small drop of a black glossy liquid formed onto the table in front of Armand. The small drop was about the size of a quarter. The drop of Void quickly manifested itself into a small black earpiece, that acted as a two way radio. However, it did not use radio signal. Instead, it used the vast endless Void. Veroen and Armand would be able to keep in contact with each other through it.
Veroen tapped his own ear with a single finger.
"You may use that to keep in contact with me, should anything new come to your knowledge. Be mindful, for Kensington is not to be taken lightly, considering he is a psychic. I am sure that you already know this."
Veroen linked his fingers once more.

"Even the cleverest psychics cannot surpass Kaw's puzzles. He is my guardian. Besides.. I am not betraying him... how can i betray someone i owe no loyalty to?" HE smirked wickedly, traces of the ethereal on his eyes as Kaw grabbed the small ear bud and put it in Armand's pocket, making it look as if he had not moved. his back was turned to Jagger, but he had to make it look like he was unimpressed with Veroen. put the ear bud in, and re-covered it with his hair.
"It swims in a sea, but wet it is not, how vast the knowledge with clutched breast we stalk." came the cryptic rhythmic voice of the bird as it slowly faded away into nothingness.
"SHamanism is thought of as weak in a day and age were hotblooded young-lings think all the power to be had is in demons and angels." He said, standing. "now forgive me... i must act offended and angry for BOTH our sakes... after-all we ARE being watched." HE said then shook his head and pointed a guilty finger at veroen, mocking speech and slamming his fist onto the table, he made every physically possible move to look enraged and as he stopped, he was indeed breathing heavily, and his face did not betray his true intentions. he then winked and stormed off, and out of Las noches. as he hit the cool night air he inserted the ear-bud and smiled he took a few steps and then turned back, sending a picture of a bridge in Central park to the front of Jaggers mind. "curious, love?" he whispered in her mind, gently.
