Nodding to Rogue, she moved directly to the fridge. She'd slept so long, she was in need of blood. Frowning as she took out a pack of cold blood she looked around. Cold blood made her wretch, she needed a way to warm it. Pouring it into a glass, her eyes settled on a microwave. She was still pretty bad with modern technology, so she'd guess. Closing the door, she looked at the contraption quizzically, wondering which button would make it spring to life.

Small start switch at the top right...the green letters... Rogue spoke the words into Rikku's mind as she watched her fidget.
Rogue lit a cigarette then and took a long drag.
"How was your rest,"
The question was directed at Rikku, but Rogue's back was to her, and her eyes were focused on the other people in the room continuing on in their conversations.

"Long.." She spoke clearly, pressing the button her friend had indicated to her. Backing off slightly as the contraption sprung to life, she frowned as she watched it eagerly. In her day it had been fire. "Too long.." She yawned slightly, her accent still thick and French as always.

"I received your note. I was on my way up to your room, but it seems you've made your way down."
She grabbed a wine glass from a cabinet and filled up at the tap by the sink that that kept blood warm but did not destroy its properties by some mystery of science.
Rogue handed the glass to Rikku.
"I'm sure you'll like this more. The blood is kept at 98.6 degrees, and there is wine behind you on the counter if you would like some cabernet in it."

"Cold blood is certainly detestable.." She mumbled, taking the glass tentatively before sipping it. "Merci." She smiled a bit. That was certainly what she needed, she could feel the colour returning to her icy skin already. "Though I cannot say I'm a fan of wine.. I may be French but the taste does nothing for me.. Ruins blood."

A smile spread across Rogue's face. "Everyone has their own taste I guess. I'm not a fan of the chilled blood myself."
She took a long drag from her cigarette again, and then turned so her back was more facing the wall so she could see the room and Rikku. She let her eyes examine Rikku once more. The blue eyes she held were a deeper blue than most she had seen. She wondered if it caught her sire's attention.

"I need to shake the feeling of tiredness.." She mused, watching the blood in the glass as she toyed with it. "Tell me of current affairs.." She looked to the other elder as she sipped the blood again.

"We've been outed to the public and become public enemy number one."
Rogue said it nonchalantly as she filled up her glass at the hot tap for blood. Her fangs elongated as she put it to her lips and took a deep drink taking out almost half the contents. She returned her gaze to Rikku after letting that sink in.
"I went to Europe to see how the other covens wished us to deal with this. There has been rioting in the streets and most people even suspected of being a vampire have been eliminated." She paused and took a drag on her cigarette.
"A good deal of the violence has died down, but it did cause a large rise in vigilantes. Reminds me of older days when people were burned in France, and all of Europe who were different. I'm sure you can recall what the chaos was like."
She looked down at the contents of her glass, and lifted it to her lips, finishing the contents.
"Our faces were plastered in all the media, and by our, I mean, each of us Vampire Elders have become a bit more famous on the streets. I kept a low profile, as I imagine Kyrre and Alexz have done. We've taken extra precautions as the hunters have had quite an exciting last few months with new recruits. And the lycans...well, I can't say I know much of what goes on with their kind, only to say that we've more or less tried to keep quiet, and protect our own."

"The mortals.. They know of us then." She frowned, the news troubling her greatly. She did remember the times back in France. Back then it had been witches and traitors. But now it was vampires, demons and lycans? Gazing into her glass of blood, she brooded over the news. "The coven location is safe I trust?"

"As safe as it can be I suppose. I have taken a few precautions and hired some help. Some humans are loyal to us, you know. Others are finely compensated and are checked on at night by some of our more psychic vampires keeping their minds empty of suspicion of who they work for."
She took a long drag on her cigarette.
"The Death Dealers have had to shift their focus from lycans to the covert FBI investigations. They have rid a good portion of New York from the 'nonexistent' branches that have sprung up from this incident."
Rogue looked down at the tap, and leaned forward to fill up her glass again.
"Of course, some of the public think its all a farce. We've been relying on cloned blood for awhile as a whole to let the murder rate drop, and most of the vampires connected to the coven have been cooperating and playing as nicely as they can while keeping the low profiles.
I don't know if something of this magnitude could even be cleaned up."

"The mortals.. They are good with their coverups.." She mused, her nose wrinking as she sniffed the blood. It had seemed a little off. Cloned blood was never of the same calibur. "I can attempt to strike a deal with a mortal ambassador.."

"To make them say it was all a farce to make the public not see some other catastrophe. I don't know. It is worth a shot. I would like the target off of our backs."
She ran a finger softly over the rim of the glass as she thought.

"They're good with their coverups.. The media, they believe anything. They love a conspiracy." She drained her glass, placing it down on the side as she examined her hand. The colour had partially returned to her skin after that. "If they know of us surely they'd want to reach some form of agreement with a vampire of my position.."

"They just might."
Rogue lifted her glass and took a drink.
Her gaze was at nothing in particular as she let her mind run with the possibilities. Her eyes lit up as if they were ablaze with emerald fire as she extended her mind without meaning to.
"It can be done, but it will be a tricky business."

"You have a contact in the FBI who can set up a meeting?" She looked to the other elder as she ran a hand through her hair. "The sooner the better, I'd like to keep the vampires out of the public eye.. It might also be wise to speak to the other races.."
