Titania
Titania was feeling, well, she was feeling and that was an unusual state for her. So, she had extended an invite to Bones. She really wasnt sure where this would end up but they were nice and interesting.
Tonight she was sitting in the crumbling little courtyard that she liked to spend her nights in, studying or trying to. Her mind is wandering. Watching Columbi play in the bird bath and Mei is sitting on top of one of the crumbling stone walls keeping a look out.
Her book is in her hands and she is idly flipping through pages reading things, making notes. Generally being weird.
Bones
Bones arrived at the meeting spot exactly at the scheduled time. She wore a white sundress that revealed about half of her cleavage in a square cut that covered her shoulders with tufts rather than sleeves. The dress was buttoned down the front and just past the knee. It had roses all across it with petals and thorns in the decoration. A long brown cardigan covered her arms and flowed behind her. She wore white running shoes to complete the outfit.
As always, she had her satchel, and this time. While she walked through the woods, the sleeve of knives stuck out from her bag, and she held one of the four in hand.
The opposite of most people's reactions, she put it away upon reaching Titania.
"Hail and well met, Titania. Thank you for the invitation. After the club last week, I didn't know if you would."
Titania
A smile touches the edge of her lips when Mei lets her know of Bones approach. Growing a little wider when she can be seen.
"Now now. You've gotten all dressed up for me." She chuckles. Closing her book and putting it inside her coat.
Bones
"This?" she looked down, and then up, "It's just comfortable. Hot, cold, whatever. It doesn't tend to bother me, so I wear whatever is comfortable," A blush rose to her cheeks at the compliment.
"I like the look. More modern than I'm used to seeing you appear."
Titania
"Well comfortable is good."
There is a tilt of her head as she looks down at her own outfit.
"Yes, im still not quite sure how I feel about it. But I thought I should give it a go. Blend in and all that."
Bones
"Well you look fabulous, Lady Titania," a slight bob of her head.
To the familiars , she gave a wave of recognition, before approaching Titania further, to sit upon the ground near the Kindred. The book got a look of recognition before she focused back on Titania.
Titania
"I will take that as a compliment then."
Both of the familiars give bones a look of recognition before returning to their tasks.
As Bones sits Titania places a hand upon her shoulder. "Just Titania please, I dont stand on ceremony. Its, a problem in its own right."
Bones
"Then Titania, thank you. I did not wish to presume after our last conversation and my joke landing poorly," she placed her hand upon the kindred's hand, seemingly unbothered by the temperature
Titania
"I understand and do appreciate your honesty. I am, if I may be blunt, still learning to navigate the intricacies of modern times and was a little out of my depth at the club."
There is just a hint of a smirk at the touch of her hand.
Bones
She smiled back happily, "Well, I'm happy to help. What is it that has you out here tonight and inviting some strange mage that almost burned down the wafflehouse?"
Titania
"Im out here most nights, any time I dont spend at Elysium's."
A tilt of her head as she thinks. "Hmmm. Curiosity?"
Bones
"You're guilty about something, but what?" She scooched closer to hug the elder with one arm around her waist, "Elysium? Is that like the Wafflehouse for Kindred?"
Titania
She smiles at the hug before a tilt of her head and a click of her tongue.
"You are insightful there Bones I will admit." There as a pause as she leaves the question unanswered for now. "It is yeah, its our safe place, usually a little less fire than Maddys." She adds with a chuckle.
Bones
"Safe places to conduct societal business are always important. Speaking of Maddy's, there's a new notice up there..." she detailed the notice on Maddy's board, "Thought you should know."
She rolled her head, letting the joints loosen and pop for comfort.
"As for curiosity... to continue our discussion regarding magics, or history or something else?"
Titania
"I would assume dont talk to the Police is general advice for most of the people ive run into." She tilts her head confused. "It seems odd that people should need to be told that."
"In part to continue discussions, in part for, personal interest."
Bones
"Modern American society since the second World War has emphasized the nationalistic desire or need to comply with the police. It's hard for a lot of people because of that, I assume. However, it makes me a bit more worried about having my home in Old City," that made her laugh for some reason.
"Personal interest?" she blushed again, "I'd be more than happy to discuss any topic."
Titania
"Ah, that would be the period of history that I am missing." Another chuckle as she starts counting things on her fingers. "Probably best for me to avoid them, illegal immigrant, born 800 years ago, cant go in the sun, known murderer, every one of my known relatives is dead."
"I am trying to learn how to socialize and you seem to be a kind soul."
Bones
"Well, I'm not the most social of creatures, but I'll do whatever I can do to help!" she gave the Crone a squeeze on her hips.
Titania
"It is, at least in part, learning to not put my." A hesitation. "Learning to not put people down as an instinct. Its easier with you, your not Kindred. You dont remind me of. Bloodier times."
Bones
"Is that the reason you've had troubles with Mister Drake and his partner?" the tone of a gossiping girlfriend for sure.
Titania
There is a crunch from her spare hand as some of the wall turns to dust in her hand and she looks to the spot where Vinny was so recently slumped on the ground, his blood scorched by the sun.
"I wouldnt say ive had trouble with his partner. No, they are." Then there is a shake of her head. "Probably yes. Vinny himself is a complicated matter as he is newly turned but thought to pit his beast against mine."
Bones
"His Beast... against yours... I saw the insult," her gaze swept over to the blood marks, or what was left after two days of sunlight.
"SO the beast that is inside you jockeys for position like apes or other troupe predators?"
Titania
"Our beasts are always there but we can pull it to the surface to try and intimidate others. It causes a fight or flight response. An animalistic response. He tried to do that to me. I dont run."
There is a tilt of her head another shake. "As for Avery. I like to play, to control my interactions with people. Your have seen how that has gone."
Bones
"interesting. Induced Fight or Flight. Similar to the rage that the fire inflicted?" she then shook her head, "Sorry. There's my own curiosity.
"Well. When was the last time you remember socializing in a polite manner?"
Titania
"Yes, the very same beast. The same sort of response."
She tilts her head, doing her best to remember.
"Outside of tonight, assuming that this counts as polite?" Another pause. "Before the fires, before the blood. Some time in the early 1600's."
Bones
"You are being very polite. You are even accommodating of my need to touch and help and things," she said softly, "Now, what made you be nice to that individual, and were they Kindred or ..." she paused, thinking through previous thoughts, "...Herd?"
Titania
There is a smile and a small nod at that.
"Do you actually want to know the answer to that? They were Kindred, one of the early Crone's."
Bones
"We are socializing. Part of that is discussing the past. Your past just happens to be longer and bloodier than most. You are an 800 years old witch with blood magic and the ability to turn a forest into the clearing on a bad night. I'm not expecting a choir of Abrahamic Angels to come sing your praises, dear."
Titania
Another shake of her head.
"Because I hadnt seen the blood and hatred and fire and destruction that 'our' War would cause. The hatred that the established covenants had for our kind. For simply asking to be acknowledged, for asking to be treated the same. Because I hadnt seen century old friends turned to ash, I hadnt spilled more blood than you can imagine to protect them and still failed. Watched helplessly as they constructed fires to burn my kin. Watched as my Children screamed as my kin screamed."
Bones
"That... that would do it. I can't imagine the wars you've seen. I can only imagine the human side of it all, in teh books, and the artifacts. But everything else?" she shook her head, "Fuck. That... That fucking sucks. There's no pretty way to put that. I am sorry that you've experienced that stuff."
Titania
"All I have seen is war. I was first sent to America for the Civil war."
There is a shrug of her shoulders.
"Its why I cant make friends, I dont know how, I had to watch them die as my Sire pulled me away. As she made me stop fighting. Its why I have no patience for ceremony, for most of my Kin."
Bones
She just gave the biggest hug that she could, hoping to give them a lift.
Titania
She leans into that hug. Not quite understanding or feeling the impacts of it.
"I appreciate what your trying to do. But."
Withdrawing from the hug but not from all contact she just looks up at the sky.
Bones
"HOw can I support you?"
Titania
There is another tilt of her head at that.
"Im confused. Why do you want to? Why do you care enough to? I am objectively a monster by Kine standards and yet you sit here trying to comfort me."
Bones
"You haven't hurt me. You haven't hurt anyone in my circle. You cannot help what you are in terms of what you search to eat. And even then, you said you're too old to even eat humans any longer. Should I punish you for existing? SHould I unleash the fires of creation and just turn you to dust like the pieces of the walls you've crushed? " she held up her hand and ball lightning appeared in it, before disappearing, as a reference point.
"Why are you a monster when you've only ever treated me well, or as someone born in the Middle Ages and have lived through so much war and destruction would treat me?"
She turned and adjusted to be on her knees to face Titania better, putting her hands on those cold, 50 degree cheeks, "WHy wouldn't I treat a friend well?"
Titania
"The world at large would disagree with you on that. Would disagree that they should let a predator walk free."
Watching the ball of lightning she smiles. "Technically im too old to eat Kine for sustenance." she says with a tilted head.
Then as the hands touch her face she closes her eyes and looks away. Though because of her tremor sense she can still see her clearly.
Bones
She didn't try to stop Titania from turning, it'd be pointless, but her hands stayed on the jaw. "If you treated them wrong, by their perspective, it would be proper for them to be upset. Again, you are my friend and you have not insulted me or harmed me in any way that is unforgivable."
Her hands stayed in place, just continuing to try and send warmth, comfort and care to the long dead woman.
Titania
She leans into that contact, eventually opening her eyes again. Closing them hadnt achieved much anyway. One of her hands reaches up and touches that hand on her cheek.
Feeling that warmth she smiles. "I have insulted and demeaned you and your friends and yet you call me. You call me friend?"
Bones
"I called an 800 year old predator a name. If I barked at a dog, would I be mad that it barked back? You are a dead person with a monster where you soul should be, and you're immortal as long as someone doesn't introduce elements that would kill you. You should not be judged solely on the 2020's view of politeness. Now if you were showing one of the -isms, as I call it, bigotry, and outright hostility... we might have issues.
"You have tried to be kind, in your way. You have shared knowledge, in your way. You said it yourself, You've experienced nothing but war and hostility for the last four to five hundred years. For your beliefs, for your looks, for all the thigns that I can never know. But you do, and then, and then... you asked me for help. You sought to learn how to fit in better. That tells me you are not fully some monster."
Titania
"I would like to share more knowledge with you. This is. Nice?" She shakes her head blushing, for the second time in recent days, as she does. "Sorry. I havent done this in a while."
Then they reach over and gives one of Bones hands a light kiss.
Bones
"I would love to share knowledge with you. Any that you are willing to share, and I will share any that I am willing to share as well," she blushed at the kiss on the hand, but didn't move until Titania made the move to detangle.
"What would you like to share first, sweetie?"
Titania
She reaches a hand down taking Bones. "I'd, id like to trust you with my home. If your okay with that."
Bones
"I would be just fine with that, Titania," she stood and waited to be led to the vampire's haven. Bones walks through magic doors with faeries, and now through dark forests with ancient vampires.... what could go wrong?
Titania
It is a ten minute walk at a Human pace which Titania sticks to, matching Bones pace. She is silent through the trip Columbi on her shoulder and Mei running around their feet.
When they reach the edge of the woods she hesitates for a moment. Still holding Bones hand before leading them into the clearing. It is what appears to be an ancient Graveyard. When they still had old fashioned grave stones and at the center was a mausoleum.
"Its a little cliche but welcome to my home." She continues leading them to the mausoleum, Bones would note that all the names appear to be worn off, perhaps unnaturally so.
Stopping at the entrance she turns to Bones. "You sure?"
Bones
The Obrimos' eyes were attuned to all three common forms of twilight, and she looked around as they walked. Then as Titi addressed her, she turned to look at the vampire, "Why would I change my mind? You're my friend, and I have no reason to distrust you. Are you worried about me seeing something that would upset me?"
Titania
She shakes her head.
"I have never bought a mortal to my Haven and it has been centuries since I have bought anyone but my Sire. My hesitation is my own."
Then she walks down the stairs leading them towards the door. Mei running down a small hole to unlock the door. Columbi squeezing a piece of stone and her own hands reaching out to push with the strength her blood has given her.
Beyond is an expansive hallway lit by small LED lights. It is dim but not dark.
At the end of the first hall is a large room off of which is three other rooms and a hallway going deeper into the ground.
"Welcome Bones to my home."
Bones
Through all the darkness of the woods, Bones seemed oddly at ease, not missing the roots on the ground or potholes or anything else. It continues as they walk down the steps. Her eyes take in the front room, as it were, and moving to hug Titania, "Thank you for the trust, and for showing me your sanctuary. This is why you're not a monster. And lest you think I'm a fool, I did take precautions for my own safety before we ever met tonight," she leaned over and kissed the cheek of the Kindred.
As she straightened up from kissing the small frame, she motioned for the Kindred to lead the way.
Titania
She leads them forward to the main room. Seemingly a sort of dining hall. Large over dramatic table and all though there is only one chair. To the right is a library and study room. To the left is a bedroom and a large walk in wardrobe. Straight ahead being stairs deeper.
Looking around she seems uncertain. Before after a moment leading them to the study.
Bones
She skipped along next to Titania into the study. Books! Research! The way to her heart!
Titania
The way to her heart was probably through her chest but who am I to know.
She smiles taking a seat on the table and offering the seat to Bones.
"Welcome to my library. Its mostly mundane but. I've been collecting this since my Embrace."
Bones
The archaeologist went to the oldest vellum or tablets that they could find. They began to, carefully, extract and study them.
"Oh wow. That's amazing. Oh this is amazing... or this is amazing... you're amazing. No one would have thought to kepe this so long ago! You're amazing..." she skipped back to the Kindred, kissed her cheek, and then skipped over to study more
Titania
Titania watches Bones move through her library. Smiling as the books that are part of her Unlife are history to them. Books and reports and first hand accounts that she had bought or stolen from people.
Eventually Bones moves to a small section at the back which suddenly has a Titania in front of it. Not looking upset just a shake of her head.
"Those are my journal's of my time awake and my years spent in Torper. You may read them if this continues to go well but not tonight."
Then she gives her a little kiss on the side of the neck pushing her hair out of the way and then returning to sit at the table.
Bones
"Oh. Sounds great. Here..." she pulled out her magic journal that Titania has seen her use in the past, "You can look in that. I don't know how much will make sense to you.. it's a mixture of English, Spanish, Ancient Egyptian, High Speech and my own shorthand."
Titania
She nods taking the journal but continues to watch Bones. Seeming to be content for now.
"High Speech?" She asks after a moment.
Bones
"It was the language of Magic in Atlantis. OR will be. Or is. In any case, it's a connection to the supernal realms from where we draw magic," she spoke a few words in High Speech, something obviously magical. The lights through the study turn into the bright light of a convenience store.
Titania
"It allows you to connect to your power."
A nod. "Our Magic is not so elegant. Would you like to see?"
Bones
"Yes, and may I also use my abilities to study it's magic in my way? It won't interfere, it just changes my ability to perceive."
Titania
She nods leading them downstairs to a stone carved room of eight sides with a pentagram carved into the floor. A marble basin in the middle that is absolutely stained with a mixture of blood.
On the far side is a lectern where she places her tome and opens it to one of the earlier pages.
Then she begins to dance. Moving with a speed and grace of practiced motions. Connecting to the Goddess within. Connecting to her beast. Allowing it all to flow. Entering a state of ecstacy, a trance. She pulls Bones in leading her through the motions and then after only a few moments she slumps to the floor. Offering her hand to Bones to pull her up.
Bones
To begin, she pulled out her phone and turned on the camera setting, casting a quick spell on it with a little potentia... and then tried a second time before cursing the phone and putting it away.
She followed and studied the ritual room to begin. WIth a little of her potentia, she began to see the world in forces, primal energies, and death energies. As the ritual built the energies focusing around Titania, her mouth dropped.
She studied the stuff in Death as it occured... and then suddenly she was beginning to dance with the Witch. As she fell, the Obrimos was right back to try and help Titania to her feet.
Titania
Titania takes her hand smiling and rising. With a presence far beyond what she had before.
A gentle kiss on Bones lips.
"This is my magic. Primal and heavenly." She says with lust in her voice.
Giving Bones neck another kiss followed by a gentle bite. No fangs but the thought was there.
Bones
She returned the soft kiss, eyes closed, "You... its... primal... yes...you can certainly say that... and mmm that feels nice..."
Titania
She moves her hand to Bones face. Looking up into her eyes.
"Can I?"
Bones
"Yes."
She focuses her mage senses through her skin, like others use through their sense of hearing, to try and scrutinize the very act of the feeding this first time.
Titania
She gives another kiss. Before returning to her neck and giving The Kiss. It is soft mot feeding but enjoying. Though there is some blood taken it isn't the goal of this.
Bones
There was a moan of pleasure as the Kiss moved through her system. Yes, she could have resisted it, but she didn't want to resist it.
Still, she did her best to study what occurred during the feeding, difficult as it was.
After the drink was finished, she kept her arms around the smaller Kindred, holding her up.
Titania
She stays in that contact letting Bones revel in it. Before picking her up and giving her another little kiss on the lips.
"Now. My dear Bones. May i take you to bed?"
Bones
She blushed and nodded, trying not to seem too eager, "Yes, you may."
Titania
She takes Bones through to the bedroom not struggling even though they are smaller.
"Now. Where would you like thjs to go? I haven't ever been with a mortal."
Bones
"I've never been with an immortal, so we're on even footing at least. Let's just see where things go," she kissed her softly, and then looked in her eyes.
Titania
A few hours later--------------
Titania is laying down looking up at the roof with her arm around Bones, traces of her blood still staining her lips and running down her chin that she is slowly cleaning up. Longer than it naturally should be able to be tongue continuing to be useful.
"Are you okay? Sorry I kind of lost it a bit in there."
Bones
"I.... am fabulous... Though, that took ... more out of me than I was expecting," she snuggled into the arm of Titania, "Though I guess you've experience with some of those tools since they were invented..."
Titania
"The nights can get lonely. I learned how to please myself long ago. Im glad your a quick study."
She chuckles finishing licking her chin clean and giving bones a kiss.
"That took a lot of effort to, hmm. How do I put this. To not waste your blood. It was a half truth to say I cant feed on Kine, its just. More effort."
Bones
"Oh, sweetie," she leaned up and nipped Titania's jaw before settling back in, "I might be able to help with that...do you mean like mental exertion or something else?" she traced her fingers around the abdomen of the Gangrel.
Titania
Titania turns at the nip running her tongue across her extended fangs then nodding.
"Yeah. It takes mental exertion to turn your blood into Vitae."
Bones
The mage just had a thought, for that was all it took, and pushed energy into Titania's mind itself.
"Well, hopefully that helps as well."
Titania
Titania tilts her head at the feeling.
"Well, now then. That could certainly get addicting." She chuckles. "Feed from you, have fun and not be exhausted."
Bones
"It is a perk of having me as a friend. I know a little about a lot of stuff."
Titania
"And I know a lot about a few things." A smile as she relaxes down onto Bones chest.
"Thanks by the way. That was, fun."
Bones
She plays with her fingers through the long white hair of Titania, "Thank you. I'm glad I could give you a different experience after eight hundred years."
Titania
"Here. Ill give you a tidbit for free. I was embraced almost 800 years ago. But, I havent been awake for all of them."
She leans into the hair strokes.
"Once you have been awake long enough you become a true elder. I've been awake a little under 200 years."
Bones
"What causes the longer sleeps then?" she continued to stroke the hair, "and what age of activity woudl be ... elder?"
Titania
"Causes them? That depends." She leaves it hanging to see if she digs deeper.
"Around 200, im on the edge of it. Everything changes when that happens."
Bones
She tsked a little, "You leave that bait out, and see if I bite? Fuck yes, I bite," she literally bit the top of the vampire's skull, before continuing, "The Sleeps depend on what, and what changes at 200?"
Titania
There is a chuckle at the bite.
"That depends on the reason. If its because im tired then I can choose to. If its because I have overextended myself and run out of Vitae I dont get a choice. If its because I wont stop. Then its a stake in my heart."
A slight pause, memories flicking through her brain. "I gain access to new powers. New abilities, stronger versions of what I have now.." Another pause. "Respect."
Bones
"I see. Have you held that status in the past?" she sighs happily against the vampire.
Titania
"No, once you hit it its permanent. Its part of why they have kept me asleep, easier to kept fed and under control."
Bones
"...That's... I see. Wise from their perspectives, but ... huh. I can just imagine some Hierarch pushing certain people into jobs that are dangerous or are dead end, but I don't believe any would do... that sort of thing."
Titania
She shrugs. "Im a sword. You dont need that when you are at peace."
Then she shakes her head voice growing quieter. "And sometimes you dont need that in a war."
Bones
"Well... you can sheathe the sword with me. I'll happily find ways to bring you the peace that you've not been given."
Titania
There is a chuckle at her use of phrase. "Sheath the sword in you?" Another chuckle.
"Just this is nice, your easy to talk to. Teach me how to hold my tongue with my own kind?"
Bones
"Well, you sheathed different swords earlier..." she laughed a little in return, "But I'll do my best to help you. I'm by no means an expert. But you and I can always talk."
Titania
There is a happy smile as she lays there. Happier than she has ever been seen in this city.
"Really do need to work on the Elder murdering Cult though. Hmm."
Bones
"Elder. Murdering. Cult. Huh. Those are words that I don't think I have ever heard, combined in that order, in that c ontext," she laughed, though it had worry in it, "Is that as dangerous as it sounds?"
Titania
"Its sort of like a covenant. But without the Friendship, they work together for a goal. More of a terrorist cell honestly." Then she nods.
"Yes, they have already killed a few of the Elders of the city. Ive been looking into them but hit a dead end because finding a specific building in Philly is hard."
Bones
"Oh. They... Oh. I thought you were building one. Not that one was hunting you all. Maybe that's what Vincent was workign on as well... interesting."
She scratched her jaw line and thought outloud, "I am not an in the streets sort of person, so likely not the best to help with that."
Titania
"No. Thats what is kind of terrifying honestly." Then a tilt of her head. "Oh, is the kid being useful?"
Bones
"He's all about investigating things. SOmeone has to have engaged him somehow," she frowned and thought on it, "So you're worried about this Elder Killing Cell, and there's now a weeks old childe investigating it."
Titania
"Yeah. Honestly, im scared what info he can give away if he goes in with half a plan like normal. If he takes his Angel with him maybe less so."
Bones
"His Angel? That's what he calls Avery?" she chuckled, "That's the third time that Angels and devils have come up today. Some might call it a portent."
Titania
"Yeah. I find it really funny given that he called me Lilith once." A chuckle.
"Like letting them come yesterday, thats why his blood was all over the courtyard."
Bones
"Avery was here? ANd Vincent was hurt. And no one is more dead than they started the day?"
Titania
"Yeah."
They lean onto Bones chest. "When you look at it that way. Vorpal was there too. Diffused the situation. She seems nice."
Bones
"I like her. I like her a lot, truth be told. I could see..." she motions, a distance, "Long term. With Vorpal. Also with their housemate Sigrun.... Yet, currently, I'm just in the... play, have fun, and see if there's someone for me."
Titania
Titania smiles tracing circles around Bones hand.
"Ah is she fun in that regard too? Sigrun too? Another Lost? Its fine. I dont know what this is yet. Not sure what I want it to be yet."
Bones
"I don't know either, but I do know that offspring in the future would be desired, and no matter what this is, that's not quite a thing in our future. I haven't had Vorpal intimately yet... or traditionally intimately. "
Titania
There is a nod and a touch to her stomach. "That isnt a problem for me at least, regardless of the being dead. My Sire wanted to make sure that I couldnt have any biological children while her Ghoul."
Then she tilts her head and laughs. "Now im intrigued, you cant just leave that hanging."
Bones
"Do I have your permission to affect your mind?"
Titania
There is a tilt of her head. A pause as she chews at her lip. Looking away from Bones before nodding. "Yes."
Bones
She gave Titania a kiss on the top of her head and let the spell go through the kiss.
Titania
Titania grips the edge of the bed shattering the wooden frame as the effect hits her mind. Her eyes are closed as she stares at Bones.
"Well, yes. Okay. Good. Whoops. Didnt know what i expected but it. Um, wasnt that."
Bones
"Yeah. I could also make the living body respond at the same time, so it's a full effect, not just in the mind emotionally." She resumed stroking the back of Titania, while her other hand rested on titania's chest.
Titania
She nods. "But not mine? What if when im blushed?"
Bones
"Actually... you know what... if I combine... and then.. so we divide magic into all sorts of practices, because it's an easy way to think of them. The action in one type of magic often has its parallels in others... and I might be able to do it in your body... but no, for magic, you're dead whether you push blood through your body or not."
Titania
She tilts her head at the explanation then nods.
"I had assumed so. The Blush is fake even if it can make me pass as Kine is most places. Its not something I use often. Before the other day it, I hadnt used it since the 1600's."
Bones
"I'll have ot try it later."
Titania
"Id like that." There is a smirk at that, the idea of there being another time.
Then her voice turns serious. "Can I ask something of you? Its more serious than most of the night has been?"
Bones
"Of course, Titania. I do not like to lie, but I might not share if I can't for safety, but you can always ask."
Titania
"Oh, its nothing like that."
There is a pause as she thinks of how to word it.
"You have been shown my Haven, this is my Sacred space. It is where I am the strongest and where I am the weakest. During the day I am close to defenseless."
Another pause. "Please keep its location to yourself. I know Vorpal can find it, but. I would appreciate knowledge of this place remaining as closely guarded as I can."
Bones
"Oh. That. I'll add it to my list of secrets to defend for myself or others," she kissed the forehead of the kindred, and gave her the address of the house Tommy owns in Old City, "If you need a resting place someday and you can't get somewhere else safe, I can make light unable to enter a space."
Titania
Titania nods taking the address. "I do appreciate though for my kind any piece of dirt or concrete can be safe in a pinch."
Then she turns onto her side. "Would you like to stay for the Day? No. Thats weird. Though I imagine it is getting early for you now."
Bones
"I don't need to sleep, if I don't want to," she said simply, "I can do something similar to refresh myself in the same way, as if I ate a full meal, drank water, and have a night's sleep... magic lets me cheat, constantly."
"Though I do have to get home to help my father during the day. And I have a second fucking interview this week with someone who wants to learn about history and the discoveries I made in the Mediterranean"
Titania
"I understand. I hope you have a good day. But before that I think I might like a few more of those?"
She moves over straddling Bones.
Bones
A grin and a bob of her head once more, "What the lady wants, the lady gets..."
