Subject: [WEB] An Interesting Evening
Day 23, Midday
*Yes?*
"My, my Alorian, you have such a sharp tone. What kind of phone voice
is
that?"
*Kayn.how did you get this number?*
Kayn grinned and lay back in his chair, looking out his window over the
city. The phone by his ear simply buzzed with the displeasure of the
person
on the other end. Not that he cared what she thought of him. Actually,
he
was doing this for her.
"How I got it is irrelevant m'dear," he replied smoothly. "I DO have
friends
in different places after all."
*Very well.* Kayn could imagine her tapping her foot in impatience.
*What do
you want then?*
"Well, I did promise that I would be helping you look for your lost
pup," he
continued, flicking a stray lock of hair back behind his ear. "So I've
been
out looking."
*And.*
"And stop being rude with me girl," Kayn replied shortly. "If you want
my
help you'll listen to me." He could hear Alorian sigh.
*Okay, you've made your point. What do you have.*
"Nothing good," he told her, sighing himself. "I've got a very bad
feeling
about this Alorian. Have you been reading in the papers about those
fairly
messy murders lately?"
*Yes, I've read about them.* Her tone had dropped in venom
considerably.
*Are you saying.*
"Nothing I can be sure of," Kayn replied, "but I believe so. I spoke to
someone who is also.hunting this creature and got the idea that it's
very
old and very powerful. It fits the description and would certainly be
able
to fool even wolf senses. I have its scent but can't confirm because I
wasn't there when she was kidnapped."
*Several of our wolves got some kind of scent from the scene,* Alorian
said
hurriedly. *We couldn't find anything from it though.*
"Have them go and take a look at where those murders took place," Kayn
offered, "I think you'll find they will match the scent."
*That's good, but it doesn't..wait hold on.* The line went silent and
then a
minute later it was picked up again. *Now what the hell is this?*
"That," Kayn replied with a chuckle, "is an invitation. There's a gala
ball
on tonight for a foundation I'm involved with and I believe you should
attend." His tone turned deadly serious. "There's a very good chance
something will go down at this party and I believe you should be there
to
witness it."
*And how do you know this is going to happen?*
"Call it wolf's intuition," Kayn said with a dry laugh. "Call it
whatever
you want, but just be there. And do remember to wear an appropriate
dress
m'dear. It is after all one of the big social events on the calendar."
*And I suppose you think you'll be escorting me there?* Alorian's tone
was
heavily sarcastic.
"No, I don't," Kayn replied blandly, "I thought you might come with
your
boyfriend. You know, the one you ran too last night? Do make sure you
bring
your charming little boy toy along Alorian, I'm sure he's just dying to
meet
me. Ta ta."
Hanging up the phone, Kayn couldn't help but laugh. He knew Alorian
would
simply hate coming to an event like this, but he wanted her to be there
anyway. The creature might very well turn up and he had a feeling it
might
not be alone. Having a few wolves and other non humans in the crowd
might
help even the odds a little.
He stood up and stretched, eyes gleaming in dimness of his room.
Whatever
happened tonight, it would certainly be a night to remember.

Day 23, Evening
<snip>
The bubble of amusement - and the loud purring approval in her head -
carried her easily through the next few boring conversations. Then the
sense
of dog was back. With a sigh, Fi turned around.
"Good evening, again, Kayn. I trust you're enjoying yourself?"
<end snip>
"Whatever do you mean Dr. Mac Creavey," Kayn replied smoothly, sliding
up to
her and taking her hand in his, touching it lightly to his lips again
and
observing her reaction. "Or would you be more comfortable with
Fionola?"
"That's fine," Fi told him with a sigh, knowing that he probably
enjoyed her
reaction to him.
"Ah, good," Kayn said with a warm smile. "Enjoying myself? Well I've
never
really liked crowds much really." He leaned in and whispered
conspiratorially, "especially some of the lowlifes circling around
tonight.
I found the Cavendish's rather distasteful in particular." Fi managed
to
stifle a giggle with her hand.
"Oh I totally agree with you there," she managed to get out, holding
back
another giggle. "Entirely to stuck up for my liking."
"I'm glad we agree," Kayn replied with a wink. "So, to ensure we both
don't
get caught up with any more snobby types we detest, how about a dance
dear
lady?" He slid an arm around her waist and nudged her towards the dance
floor.
"Oh I couldn't..but.I don't think this is a good idea," she managed to
splutter out. Kayn chuckled softly next to her ear.
"Don't be silly, you'll be fine. Besides, I'm sure Miss Skye wouldn't
leave
you alone unless you'd had one dance with someone. Would you rather I
left
you for that delightfully boring Cavendish boy?" His tone was teasing
as it
was obvious he had no intention of letting her go for the time being.
Fi
sighed.
"Okay you win," she replied, relaxing a little as Kayn gently guided
her
through the first few steps, the tickle of 'dog' in the back of her
head
receding just as little as she did so.
"See, it's not that bad," Kayn murmured, a mysterious smile on his face
as
he danced with her.
