"My leader? Monsieur, I do believe you are confused. Just what is it you think this place to be?" He certainly did not think of Nathaniel or Alexia as his leader. Perhaps it was another small language barrier. He rarely encountered those, but it did occasionally happen. "Do you mean Nathaniel? I know that he is here, but exactly where I could not tell you. It is perhaps easier to find Alexia downstairs?"
((I think I got confused somewhere. Franky was inside the building, right? The first couple of posts weren't really clear about that.))

Alphonse cups her chin in his hand and forces her to look at him. "You are very beautiful, mademoiselle. You are youthful as morning dew fresh on the grass. Who tells you otherwise? I will cut out their tongues for you." Alphonse tugs off a glove to gently brush the remaining tears from her cheeks. "Such things you young girls worry over, belle. Any man should be glad to have you on his arm. Surely only you think otherwise." Alphonse felt relief; such a silly thing to be concerned over! Such tears over a question almost too ludicrous to answer!

"Whichever will work, just please lead me to them, it is quite urgent and I dont really like holding in such important news." He nodded.
((Yes, Frank is in the building. Sorry for not specifying.))

Al hugged him tightly, and rested her head on his shoulder. He was so kind and charming. She sighed softly, not letting him go. “Then Why dose Nathaniel wish to court a child over me?" she asked and hugged him tighter. She sniffled and rubbed his back gently, she did not want him to inform Nathaniel about this, and hoped he would keep it to himself. It could ruin her whole carrier if he let it slip. " Not even your son likes me." She rand her hands up to the back of his shoulders and rubbed gently. "I don’t understand what I'm doing wrong." She explained to him in hushed tones. Her cold cheek on his neck.

"Avec moi, s'il vous plait." Mallory strode out of the room and headed downstairs. He did not glance behind him. If whatever news Franky had was as important as he claimed, the man would keep up. He dd not immediately see Alexia when he came down the stairs and, more alarmingly, he did not see his father. Mallory took a calming breath, swearing softly in French as he released it. He had a fairly good guess where both were. Mallory made his way to Alexia's door and was grateful to hear nothing... disturbing. Unlike his father, he knocked politely upon the door and waited.
"Nathaniel is a blind fool, with no offense to your own personal tastes, my dear. As for Mallory... I would not take it personally. I have not seen him eye any girl; I begin to think the only passion he knows is hatred. Speak of the devil..." Alphonse heard the short knock that could only be his son. He knew the boy by scent, but he also knew only one person besides himself who could make even knocking upon a door sound stiff and polite. Alphonse lowers his voice and whispers in her ear. "Before you answer that, may I suggest you cast your eyes to a man of maturity? One who would appreciate such a lovely blossom as yourself?" Alphonse brushed his lips over her ear in a light kiss before pulling away again.

Al Squeaked at the kiss and released him. Her face was very pink and she looked almost embarrassed. She jumped out of bed to get the door. She opened the old wooden door wide and saw Mallroy standing outside her room. "Is there anything you need ?" She asked kindly. The flush was fading from her face quickly and she used her free hand to fix her hair. "Is anything the matter?" She tilted her head slightly, wondering what he would need this time of night. She also wondered how Mallroy would react to seeing his father sitting on her bed.

Though Mallory was far from surprised to see Alexia flustered and his father sitting relaxed upon her bed, it still made his jaw clench so tightly that his teeth hurt. It was a moment before he could speak normally and he did not look directly at Alexia. More, he glared past her at his father as he spoke. "I apologize again. This man, he asked for my leader? He says it is urgent and you I knew I could find." Mallory explains apologetically. He gestures to Franky, finally tearing his eyes away from his father who had not the decency to look shamed. "This is Franky Falst. Monsieur Falst, Mademoiselle Alexia Brooms. Please, anything of importance, you may say to her."
Alphonse watched Alexia closely, a smile gracing his features. He had surprised her, embarrassed her even. Such a delicate peach perhaps required a lighter touch. He would have to consider this. He met his son's glare for only a moment, but this once the boy's attitude could not ruin his fun.

"Thank you for helping Mallroy, But I am not your leader, I believe that Nathaniel is on the roof at the moment.” She gave him a warm smile and gestured towards the stairs. "Just follow the stair-case up, You should reach an unlocked metal door after the fifth floor. " She reached to her key hook and grabbed up a shinny silver key. “The door is locked from the inside so if you get locked out you will need this." She took his hand and placed the key into it. "Best of luck, and thank you again for helping." She patted his shoulder and waited for him to depart. She was very great full that he was so considerate.

"Yes, of course. As you say." Mallory looks again to his father, but nothing he could say would get under the man's skin. He more likely risked offending Alexia and that he would not do. "Thank you, Alexia. Please, with me once more, Monsieur Falst." Mallory hated to leave his father alone with Alexia, but what else could he do? He had left himself no choice; even if he sent Franky ahead without him, it would only look suspicious. He was hard pressed to remain calm about this as he stalked up the stairs like an angry tiger. Jaw still clenched and eyes steely, Mallory looked straight ahead without another word to Franky for the entirety of five flights of stairs.

Al watched him go, and closed the door gently, before walking back to bed. She sat next to Alphonse and looked up at him for a moment before hugging him again. "Thank you." She whispered and kissed his neck softly. He had not even Spoken to his son and they did not get into an argument like she was afraid might have happened. "Thank you so much." She moved her arms up to wrap around his shoulders. He was muscular and sold, If she were not so distracted she would have joked about his wash board abs. She ran her fingers threw his hair and sighed.

"My dear, you thank me for doing nothing more than speaking words I know to be true. You are a beautiful young woman." Alphonse cradled her in his arms and let his fingers play through her long, dark tresses. He did love a woman with long, healthy hair. Alexia took good care of herself and it showed in the sheen of her raven tresses and the radiant glow of her pale skin. Truly it was as though Alexia had no inkling of her own appearance. But then a woman, no matter how beautiful, would always crave affirmation of her charm from one she desired or, at the very least, perhaps someone who desired her. It was only nature; human and vampiric alike.

Al shivered with happiness. It was so wonderful to hear that he took notice of her. She combed her dingers threw his hair and down the back of his neck. "It seems your vision of truth is different from mine." She replied and guided him onto the bed, before laying down next to him. She kissed him and closed her eyes, falling gently to his side. With another person near her she soon fell sleep. It was as if her body had finally given out after so long of being overworked. She breathed lightly and curled against him, she looked much younger in sleep; much more like the girl she had been forty years ago.

((Sorry, I had to go. I read up.))
"Well, that was embarrasing for myself. I am sorry if my presence has proved to be a problem. The tension in the situation was thick, did you know the man on the bed?" Franky said, coughing slightly into his clenched fist and then wiping it on his pant leg.

Alphonse was amused to see Alexia fall asleep so quickly. She was very tired, it should not have surprised him, but it did. Still, he lay where he was. It was no real inconvenience to him; lying next to a pretty girl was much more enjoyable than trying to sleep with his son muttering and glaring from across the room. And unless he missed his guess, Alexia would much appreciate finding him still by her side come morning. Certainly worth it.
"That man is my father." Mallory replies in a quiet, tightly controlled voice without looking back at Franky. "We have our minor differences. Please, do not let them concern you. You pose me no inconvenience. We are here; there remains but a short climb." He opens the door and begins climbing the fire escape. Deciding he wants no more unpleasant surprises, Mallory calls out ahead. "Monsieur Willow? Nathaniel, are you there?"

Al Awoke about three hours later with a start. Her breath came fast and her canary yellow eyes fluttered open. She looked up to see Alphonse still by her side. She smiled warmly and snaked her arm around his waist, she pulled him closer and leaned her head unto his chest. "How sweet of you." She murmured quietly and took in the smell of what ever interesting colon he had been wearing the day before.
She lifted her head up and kissed him softly on his chin. She gave a sigh and wriggled up so that their faces were together. She looked into his eyes and blinked. Her hands slipped up his chest to rest at the base of his neck. She was so much smaller than the man, that if she were to choke him her fingers would not reach around his entire muscular throat. She touched her nose to his own the kissed him softly again, her lips brushing his. “If your son gets upset send him to me." She said but there was an edge to her voice. She meant what she said, Mallroy Was very dear to her, and she hated for him to think of her as a whore.
