Darryn dipped his chin ever so slightly in what was generally considered a tiny nod. He slipped from his position on the floor up to his feet, following Ashleigh at a perfect distance, entirely respectful and such. I know how to behave. He offered this to her, seeming a little dampened. However, after a moment, he did say one more thing. Thank you. Yeah, living in your brother's shadow... Next in line didn't necessarily mean something good. Vampires weren't exactly known for their kindness or even forethought. Speaking of dear Damian, however, it should be noted that he did not follow. Whatever his motive was, it did not require that. |

Ashleigh didn't care, as long as she was present, they'd not rock her happy little boat, which meant all the smiling, charm and black mail would not get him where, or what, he wanted. Once a bit more alone, well, actually, they were left completely alone for a moment, Ashleigh moved to darryn, looking him over, kissing him lightly. " They did not harm you, did they?" She asked lightly, brushing his hair back. " ... And I know you know how to behave, I am sorry, my choices were limited." She stated gently. " I'm expected to wed to power, whether a clan head, or simply an elder...." She explained gently on why her choices were so limited. |

"I know. It's okay, I understand." Darryn gave her a weak smile. It had been a nice little illusion to live in for a while, though, hadn't it? For that brief break away from reality... it had been pleasant. |

" They do not expect me to only have one... but..." How to explain she thought of that idea as immoral? How to explain she didn't want to put him in that position. She merely kissed him again, snuggling close to him. She had a minute or two to be herself with him before she was back to pretend and power. they'd likely invite Damian to stay the evening cause they were fools... this evening... " It will be difficult to leave." She stated simply, intending to do it anyway. |

Darryn just nodded again, letting himself touch her face for a brief second. "I know," he reasserted. "Don't worry about it. I've lived with it." It wasn't like it was new. It wasn't like... well... obviously he didn't want to handle it as he had run away. |

" I won't live with it." Ashleigh replied simply, pulling back from daryyn as the door opened as second later, eyebrow raising as Damian was actually pushed into the room, along with someone else. " Really now?" She asked curiously, discovering they were all being poked into the same box, everyone of major consequence was in this room now. But the one that confused her, was not the little girl that was entertaining the other clan leader in the room, but Damian. Why did he keep showing up? (( Room count, girl, guy, Damian, Ashliegh, Darryn. Skye. )) |

((So, we've got three clan leaders in the room - Ashleigh, Damian, and guy? I'm going off this assumption.)) "We really must stop meeting like this." Damian chuckled towards her. "I insist. Next time it should be at our leisure." It really was impossible to tell what he was playing at. Sometimes it seemed like her, but... Maybe he was just a shameless flirt because at other times it didn't seem to be related to either her or Darryn. Yet, no matter if he was gazing of in seeming wait for something else, he oozed that feeling that he would never ignore you. Darryn, by the way, had taken a step back. The man sat for the time being, crosslegged on the floor. |

This time Ashleigh did not, seeming to ignore darryn completely. " Agreed. I'm getting tired of the politics." She stated simply, rapping on the door. she was currently being polite to the others, but if they kept pushing buttons... As the door opened, asheligh insisted she be moved out of this room, and soon found herself, Damian, and Darryn all being moved. It was actually a rather grand room they were stuck in, windows and all. Ashleigh sighed, glancing down to her formal robes, and then to both men. Giving it a small bit of thought, she moved over to the wardrobe that was present, shuffling through it. " The question still stands as to why someone as important as you would currently be here." Ashleigh stated absently, soon changed into something more.. well, normal for what she was expected to wear, not normally her style though. Their was teh obvious reason they could have been pushing her towards him, and they asked him to be here... or he could be interested in more power..... Brushing her hair back, Ashleigh motioned to the over sized couch, casually offering him a drink. Darryn? currently 'forgotten' in the chair by the door. Would you care for one? she asked Damian absently, already making herself one. |

Damian smiled and politely shook his head. No, but thank you for offering. The man shrugged, casually sitting down. "Politics. Nothing interesting there to talk about, like you said." He chuckled then lightly. "Though I would almost ask why you are here. Sure, this is a friendly sect to yours, but your heart is in Transylvania." |

Ashleigh looked at him, grimacing. " I have always been a sought after commodity." Ashleigh informed him honestly, Casually sipping the drink in her hands, seeming to be weighing the value Damian had for her. His value varied on how much he was willing to play, judging by the smile, rather willing. However, it was a dance she'd purposely avoided for quite some time, so to just change her mind on that one... Hum.... Your brother is like caviar. Grouse, disgusting even, expensive, and an acquired taste. she informed Darryn simply, glancing up as she saw the main reason she'd been brought here. The look upon her face was unreadable, but the way she stood said something. Whether it was out-right defiance, or simply a superiority complex, only Ashleigh ( and maybe Darryn) would be ale to guess at. Either way, the man before her actually seemed to shrink the longer she stood there. it was clear something was being said, but what was a mystery, especially since you could slowly watch Ashleigh switch to full out aggression, soon throwing the new comer across the room. Ouch, that had to hurt ![]() The person picked themselves up after ten minutes or so, and had the hint, leaving without even a second glance. " .... Politics." She grumbled, lookign to Darryn, and she seemed slightly more crisp and curt then you'd expect her to be towards Darryn, given how they were together, but she was not in the best mind set. " Up, Out." She motioned, Already breaking the door down and leaving herself. Where was she going? She was wondering to the top floor, the roof, actually, soon glaring. " I'd make it if I jumped and ran." she commented softly under her breath. She was NOT going to stay here, kill her first. .... She looked to darryn. " Could you keep up?" She'd not do it if he couldn't. She'd figure something else out. |

Damian had watched her go. It might have seemed surprising, but he didn't follow after her. The man went his own way, just walking casually. He was still serving his own ends. That didn't mean chasing her down... at least not right now. It was funny, though, because he never shared why he was there, what he was doing. But, being who he was, no one really asked. Something about it was terrible in the way that Darryn responded to her ordering him around. The man's reaction was entirely immediately, that sort of how-high? action. Up and he snapped to his feet, out and he briskly moved that way. Now, he stood half a step behind her, eyes roaming the landscape. "Whatever you want." The answer was empty, but he could do it. |

Ashleigh sighed. " You are not that to me... it was either play that front though, or have you killed... ... Did I make the wrong choice?" she asked simply, glancing back. they were about to leave and be free again.... but was he already re-broken? This life had that effect, but still. |

"It doesn't matter to me." This was the response to the first part of the question, and he didn't give an answer to the second due to the circumstances. Darryn glanced over his shoulder. He could hear someone coming closer. What was her decision? |

That was all it took for her to instruct him to go, even as she stayed. they would not go after him as long as they had her. Watching him disappear, she quick turned about, dealing with those that showed up, keeping everything to herself. And darryn wondered why she was anti-men. Soon she was down in her own chambers here, even as they charted to escort her back home. |

Darryn was not happy. However, for all of Ashleigh's efforts, it should be noted that the man did not make it far at all. Damian caught him without issue. There were some words, a bit of bristling, but then Ashleigh was not the only one taken home. |
