Trahir Trahison: It's true what she says. The body would need to be removed. He had planned on letting one of the boys have it when they got back but that would likely be too long a wait, especially since Trahir had started sticking his nose into other people's business. It was all but inevitable that someone would return the favor. Still, he didn't want to get rid of it yet. There was still more to learn from the carcass of his childe.

Trahir was fairly certain that Jon was lost to the shadows. Fairly certain did not a surety make however and if he was wrong he wanted to see the state the vampire came back in and how long it took for him to heal to his former pristine state. Everything vampire fascinated the Killer. He craved all the knowledge he could attain about the vampiric condition.

"I was going to feed him to the crocodiles when I get them back. They like their meals aged like this. They are carrion feeders and opportunistic hunters."

Trahir turns his eyes to Jane and gives a small shrug. "The apartment is not in my name but you are probably right. We need to look at getting him out of here."

Dominique: The explanation was enough. Trahir was going from Dracula to Frankenstein faster than she could flip the comic book pages in her head. She really knew how to pick them. He had to be a little crazy to be as smart and sexy as he was. Nothing was perfect though she was sure that would be news to Trahir. He didn't hide the fact he thought he was close as anyone could get to perfection.

She glanced back to the deflated corpse until he said “We.” At least that is what she thought she heard. Maybe she was mistaken. It wasn't long ago she had a song in her head and a car tumbling.

“Say that again?” She felt the cool air of her breath that fortunately changed the stench in the air if only briefly. The remains of his childe was making her eyes water. “Yeah, I could have sworn I heard you say we need to get him out of here.”

Dominique turned and brushed her hand over his as she moved around him and stepped back out of the little shop of horrors. She was really needing air for probably the first time in two years.

Trahir Trahison: "I figured since I helped clean up your camping trip, you could help with this one," he says, following her out of the room and closing the door behind him, making sure the rubber seals line up correctly.

"Consider it a bonding exercise if you want to. " Of course the camping trip was on him as much as on her but she already knew that. No need for him to point it out, though he figured she very well might. "I even ran into a Fae during that little excursion." He neglects to mention that it was multiple Fae and he had very nearly had his face ripped off. Jane seemed to like his face. No need to stress her out about the events of that clean up job it its entirety. She may not relish the thought of Trahir taking it upon himself to put the clean up before his own safety. Some women were strange that way.

It didn't so much matter. He had escaped unharmed and the evidence had been handled.

"So how would you go about it? Getting rid of the body with what you have at your disposal?" He is interested to know how far ahead she had considered since that first night but also how quickly she could think if she had not yet contemplated body removal.

Dominique: There was no effort in thinking about it on her part. Trahir was into the whole hunt, play and kill his prey. It wasn't entirely lost on her at all. However, the whole bonding exercise statement had her thinking a little deeper than the room she left down the hall in favor of fresh air.

“Let me get back to you on it. It's not something to be taken lightly. Obviously I am not making it a nightly habit of weeding out the world population to fulfill my community service.” She actually used to but then she died.

“Give me an estimate on what it cost you to clean up that mess and I make sure it's in your account the next business day.”

There was one thing that could be said for the shadow who had some research to do on body snatching and disposal. Jane Dominique Doe never owed anyone longer than she had to. In this case she was willing to be on it like white on rice or maggots on dead meat. Either worked given the situation at hand.

Trahir Trahison: Cost. The word in the world of humans was measured in dollars and cents, or pound and pence, or… whatever that figure would have come to it is lost on Trahir. He doesn’t estimate value in paper and little metal discs. Those were mutable, they meant nothing. He could make money for eternity. “A boon from one sired at least three years ago.. was the cost. Minus the price of the knowledge of how they go about their own disposals plus the cost of the Fae attack and risk of thralls. Times two for interest.” He smiles. He actually made a joke.

“There is no price among us Jane. None that we haven’t already paid to the other in blood or received already in the same.”

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
Trahir Trahison: He walks down the hallway, turning to make his way to the balcony, opening the sliding glass window and stepping out to lean against the railing, a hand held out in invitation for Jane to join him. “Come, gaze out upon that which will be your home for eternity, this miniscule part of the world which keeps you from ever being what resides in the room you just came from. Look down upon those creatures who weigh their worth in paper and coin for the hours of your life and tell me again you wish to measure the worth of what we are and what we do with such currency.”

Trahir’s smile doesn’t fade as he speaks, but if a cold blooded reptile could mimic the facial expression, it would look very similar.

Dominique: She joined him and made her way to his extended hand. Her eyes took in the distance below the balcony while he spoke of those who went about their routines. It was true. She likely would never leave the city she stood in. It was a thought that took several moments to sink in. The world was huge and for all the time she had left on it she would likely reside in only this area.

“Then I retract my offer.”

The point was made. Several were in fact. She withdrew her cell phone and gave a few minutes to searching and making a few connections. It was said or perhaps written once upon a time that you can feed a man once with a basket of fish or a pond full. Something like that. Or you could teach him to fish and he could be self-sufficient. Dominique made the transactions via cell and bank to provide Trahir with a solution to his disposal issue. It would be what she would do now that she had time to think it over since he had asked.

“You wanted to know what I would do to get rid of your issue in the room. My answer will be delivered in five business days. Nicolette will inform you when it arrives. You will need space so that gives you time to get prepared.”

Dominique slides her cell phone back into her pocket and looks out to the city lit up below.

Trahir Trahison: Trahir places a hand on either side of Jane, gripping the railing before them as he steps behind her. His lips press against her shoulder and he straightens, looking out over the peons below with her as though they were royalty looking out over their thriving kingdom.

“We should get to the Old Town graveyard in Cherrydale. I have need of the resting place there Jane. The Rolls is in the garage below, would you come with me? I would like to rest with you through the daylight.”

He won’t say it, but there is more to it than that. He feels a connection there and when she is not nearby he feels as though she is unprotected. She is his, he should be able to protect her. It matters little that she is stronger than he is. It matters not that he is incapable of defending her during the daylight hours. What matters is that he will battle to protect her and then upon return from the Shadows would avenge any wrong done to her. During the day he could not get to her if something happened, the sunlight would render him ashes in minutes. It is better she stay near him. Save them both the trouble. If he explained that to her no doubt she would rail against him, telling him she needs no defense. It is much easier to simply tell her he wants her close sans reason.

Dominique:The distance between them closed and she didn't look back before leaning back against him. Again she felt comfortable, closer to what otherwise pulled at her from a distance. The press of his lips to her shoulder sends that fire through her bones and lights up whatever is left of her that is cold. Did she want to go with him? She was with him even if her body went a separate direction. The hunger was stronger in his absence. How was she going to deny it? She wouldn't. Her body turned and her hands lifted to his face. The soft cool pad of her thumb traced the outline of his bottom lip.

“Take me…” Her dark eyes asked more than her words while her focus followed the travel of her thumb. “Take me there?”

Dominique was growing restless. Her lips found his and her fangs scraped the surface pulling at the top layer just enough to taste the minuscule bead of his essence before the tip of her tongue left no trace that she was there.

Trahir Trahison: Offering Jane his arm and waiting for her to take it, he escorts her from the apartment. He sends a quick text to Nicolette telling her to meet them at West Tower before making his way with Jane to the elevator. Trahir has always found elevators soothing, he enjoys the generally mellow classical music played in their confines. Classical music has always been his favored genre.

The ride down sees two other couples embark and together the half dozen of them, four humans and two vampires ride down to the ground floor. Once there it is a quick jaunt to the parking lot where Trahir’s car is easy to pick out amongst the masses of new makes and models not even dreamed of when his car first was fired to life with the turn of a key just as it is now after Trahir opens a round door for Jane and then gets in himself.

The engine purrs it’s excitement at being put in motion again and the Rolls Royce heads off into the night with it’s vampiric cargo. The ride is smooth, the car designed with comfort in mind, the epitome of luxury in its day. Even by today’s standards she rides like a dream.

It doesn’t take too long in the wee hours of the failing night to arrive in Old Town and Trahir stops at West Tower to let Nicolette in. As they drive the final stretch to the cemetery Trahir instructs the thrall to put a new lock on the door at Veil Tower and to leave all the windows open to air it out .

Once the thrall has departed with the antique car, Trahir and Dominique walk through a sea of headstones, the sky just beginning to lighten as they arrive at his family crypt. “This is it..” He says motioning to the grave. “I believe you are familiar with the neighboring plot.”
