Xaviers!

After taking Isolde out around Maldon, Tereza returns to her room. She flops down on the bed and tries to process all the things. Her mind is restless and the wolf is getting even more restless than it was after the thugs had threatened her.

"...good lord, I could about feel you before I even got in," Sam says as she slips in.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she politely lies. "Or I will be. Took Isolde into Maldon, some thugs waved silver at my throat thinking they were doing her a favor. She disabused them of that notion."

"I just got called out onto the grounds because someone died with my name on her lips."

"So I guess things are a bit fucked, aye?"

"Things are certainly in the realm of not-good, but Isolde gave me some info that may tilt the scales back the other direction. Turns out there's a vampire hive in Chelsea."

"You know, I was just talking about going after them with Viv before the warning on the lawn."

"She didn't have a specific location, but she thought you might be able to pick them out."

"...I might. If that one in the pub is any indication. They feel... wrong."

"Well, I'm certain Viv would go. Might want to put your own team together."

"I assume you want to go? It seems like it's that or destroy the furniture."

"Someone has to watch Wanda. Besides, based on what you've said, they might be able to sense myself or Isolde coming. Not sure you want to take that risk. You can take care of yourself. I trust you."

"...and all it took was me going vampire hunting."

"Isolde made a point earlier. Pack means trusting you to have my back. If I don't trust you to take care of yourself, then I can very well trust you to watch my back either." She reaches out for Sam, "Doesn't mean I like seeing you in danger, but I have to trust you."

"It feels pretty weird if I've actually got her to thank for something."

"I think she might be hanging around for a bit. Not sure she feels safe here yet, but it's something I'm working on."

There was a frantic knocking on the door followed by Vivienne simply entering wearing leather hunting gear and a familiar blue-green skintone.

"Excellent, you both are here. You need to pack lightly for a week away. I have tree possible locations for the Lady Nimue."

"...we were just talking about you."

"We think we've a lead on the vampires."

Tereza raises an eyebrow at Vivienne's outfit. "Sounds like there's a lot of hunting going to be going on."

She rippled.

"I can not and will not allow the power of the Lady to fall into the hands of thew Night Children. Besides, I did give my word that I would aid Wanda."

She caught Tereza's look and smiled. "Beeches are more practical for traveling, the terrain around the locations is quite rough and leather is far more durable then modern denim and cotton."

"No argument. I was just thinking you look good in leather," Tereza says, obviously teasing Vivienne. "I think the vampires have to come first though. They're an immediate threat to Wanda and I can't imagine they'll wait much longer before making their move."

"They're definitely about to make a move if the woman who died on the lawn is any indication."

"What did she say?" It didn't seem to phase Tereza in the slightest that a woman had died outside.

"I kind of got it second hand and then... had to talk to her boss."

"They said the dead are moving."

"When do we leave and do we require any still...'alive'?"

"You might want some alive, but I doubt anyone will shed many tears if you destroy them all. Isolde and I will stay here and guard Wanda, just in case."

"They... they shouldn't be walking around in the first place. Dead should mean dead."

"Indeed. Though answers are very hard to get from puddles."

"Tactical decision then on whether you think you can properly capture one." Tereza licks one of her canines, "I want both of you to come back, so take care of each other, alright?"

"I think I just... hope I don't go crazy. It's strong, this need to just end them."

"I will be sure you are pointed in the right direction if you do." Vivienne smiled.

"Will you be requiring my services," asks a voice from just outside the open door. How long Gemma had been standing there was anyone's guess.

Sean had gotten a feeling that things were coming to a head after a fashion. Though perhaps he'd also seen Vivienne running through the halls carrying a week worth of gear moving through the halls and decided that this was the most likely place she was going. The world will never know I suppose. Sean walked up to Sam/Tereza's door and saw Gemmalara who he didn't recognize and knocked lightly on it as now unsure what exactly was going on and how serious it could be given that there were quite a few people running about now.

"...how many people are out there?"

Gemma glances at Sean, "Just two of us it looks like."

"...well if you're both here to fight vampires, come on in."

Gemmalara wrote:"Will you be requiring my services," asks a voice from just outside the open door. How long Gemma had been standing there was anyone's guess.

"You were my next visit, Gemmalara, though the original plan has changed. Your aid would be appreciated but by no means is it mandatory."

Gemma edges her way into the room. "I'm supposed to help keep you safe. I can't very well do that from here."

Sean enters the room behind Gemmalara. He recognizes several of the people at least.

"A vampire hunt seems like as good a time as any for a mage to help," Sean said.

"Well apparently there's a bloody hive of them in Chelsea, and they want Wanda."

"And Sam's going to go find the hive and put a stop to that."
