"Thats a good idea tonight is a little light...good thing we wash most of the cash in the valley and all of the dirt in the hills." He tossed back the cocktail as if it were a shot. Standing and rebuttoning his suit coat.
"You know this aint to show you how to get along all Brady Bunch like. Its to sgow you how to carve a spot out for yourself and get you in the right mind frame to be a lion. It makes it easier to fight for your life later. So you can know your darkside so it dont take over you."

She blinked at him" did you not hear my up bringing? Have you not met the rest of the people that wear my same cut? Dark and I are acquainted"
She was curious though as to where she'd work in but they would find out. Fighting for her life was nothing new either." Im not expecting any step of this to not suck until I have come out the other side on four paws with a roar louder than my bike"
Cleaning officiantly glasses washed and racked bottles capped and shelved. She looked at him" so we dancing once before we leave or cutting out?"

"Yeah I bet you are. But..." lord stopped himself. Changing tact. "Look, I was raped as a kid. Messed me up something horrible. Made me a real bad guy to be around. But even at my worse I didn't want to eat someones face, to roll in their blood and suck the marrow from their bones. Never crossed my mind to feel that way about anyone especially people who were supposed friendly acquaintances." He shook his head not trying to hide how much that idea appealed to him. He let the lion peek out.
Clearly evaluating if shed taste anywhere near as good as she looked. "The darkness you gotta fight isn't giving in its giving in enough to keep control. Because if you give in you die from the inside long before somebody put you down."

Soft sigh" well still not backing down tho"

He chuckled as he continued moving. “Come on toughie…” He said surprisingly good naturedly the beast put back in its cardboard box. Near enough to the surface that his skin would feel nearly too hot to the touch. “We’ll take my ride.” Leaving through the back he entered the employee garage where his driver was waiting. As he opened the door for Dawn he spoke out, “We’re going home try to avoid traffic.”
Climbing in he unbuttoned his jacket again settling on the seat. “So you know the new Snake King. Let me guess you and the recently undefeated lawyer grew up together too right.” New orleans had never popped on his list of places to go. Back when he was uninfected it was due all the rumors of magic and spooky shit. He had enough ghosts in his life. Now that he was Rex in his own city it was he wouldn’t visit because of all the politics.

Her smile was crooked but she shrugged and fallowed him. Litterally walking into the lions den. She slid in settling and looked up when he spoke." Hes from there yes but we honestly knew of each other but never met till we were out here. It was strange coincidence and nice when I didn't know the..what did you call him? Kashi-pa? Was here as a bit of home away from home."
D was sure lord would understand why she was being low key especially as despite being someone who represented criminals but wasn't one he was sort of their opposite.

He considered what she was saying as well as how she was saying he picked up on the fact there was more there but let it drop. He’d allow her to enjoy being human as long as he could. The little lies you could get away with when the other person couldn’t smell you holding back. The secrets you let slip as your body fought with your mouth to tell it all. She’d learn soon enough.
" Kashyapa? Oh that’s the title for the king of the snake lycanthropes its gonna be something you get used to. It’s a whole world of lycanthropes have been according to what get talked about for a long ass time."
The drive was a relative short one as DeAndre did his best to avoid the merest hint of traffic he wheeled through the ever present crush of cars as if it were water. All the time behind the wheel was paying off. Lord was considering moving him into the role permanently but for that to really happen Lord would have to give him a titled position and he wasn’t sure about that. He was sure DeAndre would kill for him no muss no fuss he was a hitter sure as he was anything. The problem was in the role he’d have as bodyguard he’d need to be willing to die. That Lord wasn’t sure of DeAndre having been one of the newer lions was still a little unsure of himself and where his fate lied. Lord had a the sinking suspicion that the man would take off sooner rather than later.
He thought he could hack it on his own but Lord knew differently. He was learning however that sometimes you had to let people bump their heads a few times before sense got in.
“The Chinese ain’t no thing now that your choice is made but what about your club. You a pretty high ranking member right been with two or three chapters and kinda a big deal. You ready you lay it down and become a big deal in this world?”

Shed been watchubg scenery slip by his comments about learning the world made her smile. Then the thing shed been dreading because the club was going to be one thing but how was she going to break it to del?
That was probably the worse conversation she'd need to handle. D sighed" think I wanted out a while ago but nothing set in stone they might surprise me and like it so much they try and keep me. "
She shrugged " it was a life lived because I never fit no where else dreams to big for nola but nothing as grand as Los Angeles. Not like there is no body who wouldn't love to take my spot anyway..but least they won't try and kill me for it now."

He caught her troubled thoughts not the content just the fact they were there. Again he allowed her space as they pulled into the rear carport. “No matter what it is it can be dealt with I think you settle your personal business a little later. The Pride is thirty strong with ten… well eleven soon to join up. Come on I’ll introduce you around.”
As DeAndre opened the door He slid out reaching back he offered his hand to help her down. Not that she would need it but it was a show all the same. The other lions would smell the faintest hint of him on her and know she was a potential lioness without him having to say a word. To legitimize things he immediately reached out to Sasha through the link they shared. His aura spread sniffing out her mind calling to her.
To Dawn he said " After you meet the Regina you’ll be shown around and then its up to you as to how you start...Really start."

D listened surprised the group size, almost an army. Taking his hand she stepped out looking around. This was it the first and last day of her life potentially.
She peeked at him" this is going to sound strange but..um thank you I guess..for offering me safety and this chance at starting fresh"
She didn't know what would come but she felt the need to at least say that much. Slowly nodding to anyone she saw and trying to get a feel for the place.
Trying to decide what he meant by how she'd start. Some sort of choice of how to be infected she supposed. He'd said rhst shed need to start in violence to adjust though.

Sashas head snapped up having felt Lord calling for her. Clearly something was up so she set the pen down and stood. She stretched a bit her back popping before heading downstairs.
Even with everyone about she could smell the human female and his lingering scent on her. Her eyebrows rose just a little but she kept moving to the door. She stopped in the doorway her eyes first touching on her Rex before moving on to the red head standing close by. Taking all of her in she looked a bit nervous and then it clicked in her head what was happening.
Nodding the slightest bit she stepped through the door and went to them a smile on her face. She stopped a few paces back to give the other room, "Hey I'm Sasha." Her eyes flicked to Lords for a second before moving back "What's your name?"

He felt her coming no sooner had his aura brushed hers. He smirked as he could feel her curiosity. She was the proverbial cat in that aspect. She was good at holding it in most times yet when her curiosity was raised she’d leap in full tilt. It was interesting noticing there more subtle differences.
“You’re welcome, though you may want to take it back after the first few months. I’m only as easy as I have to be. It’s a hard life for us but we tr to make it easier. Sometimes it works sometimes well nevermind that now we’ll get into soon enough.” He paused as he felt her drawing near.
He took undue pride in the way the Pride operated it was a good balance of fighters men and women like him. Along with noncombatants with talents that made it better for everyone. More lions like Sasha. He thought of things pragmatically and addressed every problem head on as if he was fighting a war and she looked at things equally as pragmatic but she waged a war less all encompassing. It was funny the way they worked but as it worked he had no problems with it.
Crossing the distance he left enough space for Dawn to either shake or greet how she chose. He wrapped an arm around Sasha’s waist nuzzling her scent marking her and sharing Dawn’s scent all at once. He kissed her carotid and moved back. He could have explained but he knew she had the biggest clue as to what Dawn was from their talks. This maneuver cinched it as making her one of them put the Triad in the unenviable position of having to either declare open war to save face or swallow their Pride. He was unsure how many more L’s they’d take without losing it completely.

She watched the blond approach all cat like grace and fair bit of power. Part of her deep down inside laughed at an age old addage about black men coming up in the world and getting a white woman. She didnt care about that and didnt see color in love or attractions but it just popped into her head for a moment.
She took the womans hand and shook no pretense or strength test just a hi." Dawn but most call me D or red"
Speaking of that she realized the wig was still on and stepped back to undo it.popping the thread and unclipping combs. As it slid free she shook her own hair loose and the signature red waves fell loose." Precautions I am sure he explained."
Sure wade would be correct in the fact that sometime in the near future shed regret this moment and not thank him at all but they would handle that when. For now she was set in this and would endeavor to make it work like she did everything else.

Her eyes tracked Lords movement as he moved to stand behind her and she leaned into him a bit when he kissed her neck. Though her attention was mostly on Dawn as they shook hands and she talked.
"He might of mentioned a thing or two. Its nice to meet you and while you may not yet be pride, welcome to our pride." She smiled and started walking back to the door tryin to get the procession moving. She would need a room and probably food. Thankfully the food would only need to be reheated.

He chuckled at the thing or two comment especially after their last actual chat session about finding her. And now she was not only here but joining them. The Triad was done for. No matter which way they moved itd be a loss.
He knew just because they were down didn't count them out. No it didnt by half. Luckily as long as Nicholas held power everyone had to at leasy pretend decorum. So short of outright declarrs enmity their hands were tied.
Then his phone vibrated he looked to Sash and Red saying, "Give me a minute. I'll catch-up." Answering he was surprised to hear the voice on the other end. "Well lomg time no hear whats up?" To the casual listener it would seem a friendly exchange instead of a call that for all intents was a declaration of war.
