Visiting the High Constable

[Cinnabar]

Cinnabar thinks for a moment before nodding firmly. "Mm. Yes. I think it would be... well, quite informative. And as you say, best to get the information directly from the source. I'm somewhat indisposed at the moment, obviously, but if you might convey to him that I would be interested in an audience in, say, a week or two?" Yes, that sounds reasonable. He ought to be in much better shape by then. And he'd certainly not be keen on an interview with a vampire in his current weakened state.

As for other issues, well. A level gaze upon Alexis for a few moments, then a slight grin as an idea occurs.

"You needn't continue to work alone, you know."

[Sherazade]

Instinctively he shows caution.. takes into account his own weakened state... despite his desire to have this issue settled to have the one responsible punished... doesnt it intrigue you Alexis... The words were a phantom whisper within her mind as she inclined her head accepting his time frame easily

"that should give me ample time to find him and make him aware you desire an audience"
Be quiet you the silent command was flung back at the sporadic thing that left her abandoned more often than not, only the slightest flicker within her gaze giving hint that something was going on within that mind, other than what she willingly showed.

"Who else would I ask to take up such a duty Constable... To walk the path that I do, face the dangers I face... too many would rather ignore such things exist in the world... or hide behind the excuse I'm a mere mortal how can i stand against such creatures"
Ahh it was her turn to ask the questions now it would seem and she would lean bacK into her chair, finally lacing her glove closed again once more, those chocolate depths never leaving his face.

[Cinnabar]

"Excellent. Thank you for your willingness to serve as messenger in this, also. Perhaps some sort of amnesty could be arranged." Or at the very least, he might learn some more about these creatures, and learning things is always worthwhile. In response to her own questions, the High Constable grins slightly.

"It just so happens I know a number of rather enthusiastic fellows who are keen on seeing the laws of Myrken Wood maintained and obeyed, and I've little doubt that they might be able to assist you in your... endeavours."

His smile takes on a hard edge, a glint of steel in his gaze. "Which is to say, in return for your sharing your knowledge and experience of these creatures, perhaps instructing my men in how best to tackle them, the Myrkentown Constabulary would be able to offer you our support in tracking them down and... ensuring they no longer endanger the citizenry." Read into that what you will.

"If you wished to assist the Constabulary on a more official basis, no doubt some sort of consideration could be provided for your, ah, consulting services. That's if signing up as a full-blown Constable doesn't appeal, of course."

[Sherazade]

Again surprise flickered across her features as she listened to him speak... oh the surprise was not that he offered thanks it was what came after.. she had not expected such a thing especially not the last words he spoke. She blinked let her fingers steeple themselves together beneath her chin as she gave it some thought. Did she want to be so tied to myrken though, kept so far away from her estates... well she did have good staff in place that was true enough and she had been considering finding property here... getting thats set up right could take awhile.

Her gaze while she wieghed her options would become unreadable give no clue as to the inner workings of her mind and when she fainlly began to speak even she was somewhat surprsied by her answer "I will be happy to train your men... to Stay and assist in making sure the citzens of myrken are safe.." there was a brief pause as she drew in and released a breath simply needing to pause to make sure she had her words in the right order. "If it will make things easier for you i will sign on as a constable though i do not prmise to stay indefinately"

She smiled now thinking that things had certainly taken a most unexpected turn and finally made to rise "now if there is nothing else you need I should be going and seeing to a few other matters"

[Cinnabar]

Cinnabar nods, pleased. "Not really a matter of ease, so much as whether you'd be interested. If you have other commitments I completely understand. Your assistance will be most useful, in whatever capacity." He scratches a few more notes, reminders of things to do, thinking out loud as he does so. "I'll send word to the Yard to confirm the training side of things. Sergeant Armstrong is the master-at-arms, and probably the best person to report to. He's a bit rough around the edges, but he's got his head screwed on right."

He looks up from his papers with a grin, and extends a hand.

"Thank you very much for your assistance, Ms Demarshay. It's been a pleasure speaking with you, and I look forward to doing so again in the near future."

[Sherazade]

Hand extended and clasped the one he offered to her. "It has been my pleasure" She smiled honestly meaning that.... intelligent conversation was not always a thing easily found. "Sergant Armstrong "she repeated the name letting it sink into her memory more firmly "I'm interested ... Its merely a matter of what arrangements I can make for my other commitments" Yes leaving thessilane could be a good idea and as odd as it sounded moving those she proected to myrken might be smart as well especially if she could speak to Jarod Nightingale... already her mind was working on how to arrange things.

She would release his hand now and return her hat to her head its brim slanted at a rakish angle that suited her a thouht occuring to her as she turned towards the door causing her to look back over her shoulder "It wouldn't hurt for me to work on my skills with a blade either," There was a rueful smile as the angle of her form caused her coat to fall away from her hip and reveal those fans... each fold holding a gleaming claw like blade. gloved tips danced over them briefly made sure they were still snuggly fastened "I've become far to accoustomed to these and let other things slide into disuse"
