Dinner's at 8

[Lux]

The address was 18th and Franklin and the building was a 3 story, brick apartment complex that held a small central courtyard with vegetables and flowers growing in the center. Dinner waited in apartment 32, on the third floor, behind a simple, green, wooden door. After a few knocks the door opened and Lux ushered those waiting inside, offering to take coats and then directing them towards the dining room.

The inside of the apartment is sparesly decorated, bordering on spartan, but there's enough colour to give it the feel of life. A scarred wooden table sits int he dining room with 4 places set and a bottle of wine waiting on the counter.

[Mike Tamwood]

Ding-dong!

The bell rings while Mike Tamwood waits with a smile. He holds a bouquet with mainly sunflowers in his hands. He thought about the bouquet for quite a while, and hopes that Lux likes it.

Behind him is Aegis ( AethrDav ), they arrived together at the apartment. Mike tries not to look at Aegis too much... Ahriman would be here soon.

Crap. I hate myself.

[Lux]

"Aw, Merci...er, Thank you, Mike," Lux stammered, as her cabal-mate handed her the flowers. It didn't matter whether or not you could bend the forces of the world to your will, people could still surprise you, the Thearch mused, managing to snap out of the reverie as soon as Aegis started to speak.

"It's nice to meet you as well, Aegis, and please, come inside. You're more than welcome." She shook his hand and then led them into the apartment.

"Feel free to grab a drink if you'd like. There's wine on the counter, and beer, soda, or milk if you'd prefer, in the fridge," she called over her shoulder from the sink as she set up an impromptu vase. "Once Ahriman arives, I'll set some hors d'oeuvres out."

[Iblardora]

Ahriman jumps out and smiles, heading towards the house, whistling lightly. He knocks on the door, happy to once again to be greeting his cabal.

He is dressed down for the night, with some tight jeans and a teeshirt.

[Mike Tamwood]

'Yeah I thought, blue flowers because eh... you like blue, and the sunflowers seemed a good match with 'Lux'.' Mike grins and steps inside, curios to the place. Other Sanctums or just living spaces are always interesting, take West's for example. Mike can't say he expected much different from the former Magister, but still. Interesting fence he had.

As soon as he hears the knocks on the door he turns around, since they are still close to it. When he sees Ahriman he smiles and steps forward to give his friend a hug. 'Hey Ahriman!' and then softly closer to his ear, while chuckling, 'do you know what hors d'oeuvres are?'

[Lux]

"Oh, good, come on in Ahriman," Lux said over Mike's shoulder, having followed the Moros to the door. She gave a similiar speil about refreshments as she guided everyone back to the kitchen. She put out a bowl of chips, a plate of carrots and celery, and then set out a bowl of humus.

"Alright, feel free to dig in, but save some room. I've made a dish that hopefully everybody will like: spaghetti and meatballs. There's another sauce I can heat up too if anyone is feeling like vegetarian fare."

[Mike Tamwood]

'Ah cool Lux, I love spaghetti... multo bene!' He chuckles after his bad Italian pronunciation.'And I am no vegetarian, I've seen death, no creature should fear going there.'

He sits down and winks to Aegis. 'So, our new friend has some interesting plans for his own future, and we thought that those plans might be combined with ours.' Yeah, the Moros is vague about this, which is why he gestures Aegis to explain his ideas of sanctums and security.
