Velveteen grinned and dipped her head in greeting at the gypsy woman before raising her hand to place another bid. "Thirty seven."

Pi turns slowly and stares at Velveteen, her eyebrow arched in question. Nothing good could come of Velveteen buying Madison and Pi had a dawning horror that one of her best friends in this city was about to use this auction to do something... very very bad.

With a sigh she raised her hand, waiting for a lull in the bidding before speaking. "Thirty Eight..." she said quietly. "Thousand" and as she said it she wound her way to where Velveteen stood, hoping to talk to the woman before the potential, turned into something that couldn't be.. redirected.

Velveteen's grin broadened as Pi put in a bid and before even acknowledging the woman she gave a slight nod and upped the bid once more. "Thirty nine thousand." She arched a brow and turned to face the woman who had made her way over.

"Forty" Pi responded in kind, raising her hand so the auctioneer could see her but not really looking at the stage at all, or the woman who stood up there. Instead she focused on the small black haired woman with sharp features and a mischievious look on her face and came to a halt right beside her, taking up a position by her shoulder and only then looking towards Madison.

With a quick look she gave Velveteen quick grin, shaking her head and finall spoke, her tone light hearted teasing. "You're trouble, you know that? What ... in the world are you planning to do with Madison?"

She was curious about where Vel was heading with this. While also wondering if she needed to get Elliot to send a telepathic message to Reilly to get a whopping chunk of the d'Artois bank transfered to her account.

Velveteen leaned up against the nearest wall with her arms crossed over her chest. She raised her hand casually and flicked her finger through the air. "Forty five." She called clear enough to be heard before lowering her voice. "Now if I told you that Pi, that would spoil the fun. Besides...does everyone get asked this or is it just me?" Her sterling irides dance with amusement. Of course she was up to something...but what? They would just have to wait and see....or not.

Blowing a disbelieving breath at the woman Pi raised her voice and bid. "Forty Six", before returning to the conversation, without missing a beat. "Only you. And only because it is Madison, and only because of your mutual history and only... because you are my friend and she is my... family."

"Ugh." she finally, "If you can assure me she will be okay in your hands I'll bow out, can you do that for me?" Pi asked, good natured ribbing giving away to a moment of seriousness.

The woman snickered and set her gaze on Pi, sincerity only just breaking through the wicked glint that danced there. "I assure you, I have no intention of harming a single bleached blonde hair on her head....unless, of course she would like that?"

"The hair is natural snatchface." Madison said in a low tone that only those of their ilk would hear.
