    While Krieg smiled to Clara and Ashley, the lights overhead transitioned, his smile vaporized as Davis referred to him as 'Mr. Krieg.' He pressed his lips thinly, restraining his desire to wring the man's neck like a towel.

    We're out in public, my name is Karl.

    He was only half paying attention, a drink somehow appeared in his hand. The momentary distraction allowed him to refocus. "Hello Ashley, pleasure to meet you as well." He held the beverage up to his lips. It smelled minty. Didn't she say that it was? He wasn't entirely certain he had heard her correctly. He did not drink it, not yet. There was the matter of the Invictus Knight and Krieg was feeling particularly sadistic now that he was being given the opportunity.

    His eyes fell upon Davis with a predatory intensity, "Perhaps we could have a bit of fun." A large gloved hand gestured to the Knight, "Perhaps we can entertain these fine vixens." His invitation was more so a thinly-veiled command.

    The background hum of the Asylum faded away; sex and the anticipation of it no longer concerned Clara. With Ashley pressing closer and the big Haunt here this became a Danse. Clara had to constantly remind herself John wasn't a threat as she felt sandwiched between her cousin and the tiny blonde. She watched as Ashley gave up her drink and asked with a knowing smirk, "Not to your taste?"

    Krieg's interest in John made Clara think he was the real reason the Haunt had shown up. Clara rose to gingerly place her hand in Krieg's. "Now, now. You being here is all the entertainment we need, Karl. Come, sit."​ Clara beckoned and welcomed Karl with a slight tug of his hand, like hers might pull him into what he wanted. Whether Krieg would follow suit or not, Clara plopped into her chair with a giggle.

    Clara's body, flush with false life, radiated in the second skin of a dress. Her complete command over her body's language invited innuendo and the captivation of the table. She propped one elbow up on the table and rested the side of her face in the palm of her hand while subtly accentuating the strain her body had on the latex. Each movement invited speculation focused solely on her. "We've never really talked--and that's just a crime. Say Karl, were you here to see someone? Should I be jealous?" Clara pouted playfully and made the spoiled brat routine cute. She had no idea what Krieg wanted with John but had every reason to think the Court would love to set her hapless cousin up for a Blood Hunt or a Kangaroo Court.

    John Davis

    Davis had missed Krieg's pseudonym the first time. Modern kindred and their constant need for double identities. Davis had had his fair share but never two at once. It just complicated things. He was John Davis among Kindred and Kine. The lie was easier to maintain if both societies shared it.

    "Craig... er I mean Karl. Do forgive me, with all this... debauchery going on around here, my mind is just a mess of names. I'm sure you know what I mean, Chuck. Sorry, what was your name again?" Davis hoped the coverup attempt was satisfactory to the Giant's ego. If not, he would surely find out soon enough.

    Davis was about to respond to Krieg's offer of entertainment when Clara interjected. "Yes, Steve, please, are you here to meet someone? Should we make room for a fifth or seek a larger space? I think there are private rooms here, no?" Davis didn't want to think about what might occur in the private rooms of a place like this.

    Davis noticed the ladies response to the drinks. "Clara, Ashley? I do apologize, forgive me and my drink choices. Old habits you see. Let me get you another beverage. Would you like something stronger?"

    Ashley leaned back in the booth, with Clara coming over her on one side, and Karl the Giant on the other. She stretched her hands up in the air, before her hands drifted down to prop behind her head.

    A smile crept across her face, as her shoulder blades pressed into the cushion. "I'm fine on that drink."

    It was such an amusing and entertaining display. The gorgeous Clara trying to smooth things over, yet it seemed that Davis had other intentions for how this night was going.

    Ashley did not care to be involved in a Breach, but that did not mean she couldn't let this play out for a few more sentences to see where it was going. If she had to throw her words into the mix, then so be it. Still, she was more curious to see how Clara and Karl would play it.

    Krieg

    With Clara's touch upon his leather gloves, the giant's body exuded an ephemeral chill of the grave. The siren was beckoning. Whatever Davis had to say in response to Krieg, the Knight's words simply didn't register to the Hierophant's ears.

    His large brown eyes examined her face with attentive curiosity. Though he was among the walking dead, lustful desire was ingrained in every creature's DNA. As expected, they drifted downward toward her neck, chest, and further. She was putting on a show, and he was her audience. She led him to be seated.

    The chair protested under the weight of the large man. He rolled his eyes at his seat, an annoyed remark followed. "The art of craftsmanship has been traded out for economies of scale."

    His gaze focused once more upon Clara, "Well, I was looking for someone, and I found others."

    The Giant disregarded John. That made her consider that the Unconquered Colonel wasn't the sole reason for Krieg being here. She didn't have time to think too much on it as she shook off the chill touching Krieg's gloved hand brought on. He does know he's in public, right? It was a club and dark and all, but still a casual brush with him could raise eyebrows. Clara laughed at John's casual misnaming and said, "Yess! Drinks!"

    Even a moment's pause playing at mortal life might prove crucial. "And it's Karl, John. You've met him before, I'm sure. Or would you like to rent a private room and be alone for an hour?" John's demeanor seemed relaxed. Either he didn't consider Krieg as a danger or he did and just wasn't threatened. Still, four Beasts pressed into a booth could easily turn to Blood. No such thing as too cautious in this situation.

    As she spoke to John her flesh seemed to distract Krieg just as his eyes trailed along her form. When his gaze was on her chest, Clara arched her back subtly. When he shifted focus to her neck, she'd flip her hair away to reveal bare flesh. And when Krieg finally raised his eyes to find Clara's, she winked at him. "And I was looking for no one and found Ashley, resident Asylum veteran. Tell me, Ashley, do you think Karl's a good dancer?" She asked the petite Lord next to her while keeping her visage on the Giant. She couldn't tell heads or tails of what the cult leader big guy was actually looking for in Asylum.

    John Davis

    Davis flags a waiter in a thong and something he was unfamiliar with and began to whisper a lengthy explanation of a drink order.

    "I need to order four very special drinks. They must be made according to a specific recipe. Can your bartender comply? Good." Davis begins to raddle a long list of spirits and tonics. Anyone doing the math would have measured a high alcohol content. Very high. "And waiter, make sure it is all top shelf."

    "I hope you can handle a bit of Anal Johnson's special elixir." The significance of his centuries ago bartender's name and this club completely escaped Davis.

    "Oh, I am so sorry Karl. I will try to remember. You must forgive me, my mind has been preoccupied with other things lately. I'm not sure about a private room in this place. I'm really becoming to loath confined spaces. Something else that has been a constant focus of my mind."

    Ashley's head lolled to the side, as she shifted her gaze over to Karl. She knew Clara was trying to get her involved in her machinations and would oblige. "Hard to say, but I would imagine you would surprise us?" Ashley glanced off into empty space for a moment, biting the inside of her cheek. She could only guesstimate that she was sitting with a succubus, shadow, and a quite-insane lord.

    "It is rather amazing to happen upon you all." Ashley said, though she did not believe. It would be like being surprised to run into a cold body at the Nox.

    "Karl?" Ashley said, diverging from the topic of dance. "How long have you been in Sacramento?"

    Ashley's eyes shifted back over to Clara, giving her a playful wink. It was also Ashley's way of giving a nod of respect for diffusing.

    Krieg

    The Daeva held the Nosferatu's attention. Clara's question made him laugh. "Dancing?" he shrugged. "I suppose, if you're interested in it, I might be coaxed into it." A light laugh followed.

    Like the shattering of glass, certain words pierce all forms of conversation. Krieg's brows skyrocketed. He turned to Davis, "I will not be drinking whatever the fuck that is." Even Nosferatu had their standards.

    His attention shifted to Ashley, "I've been here a while. I was in town a month before the new CEO was announced. It was quite a surprise to all of us. I'm quite pleased with how she's been doing."

    Crush. Crush whatever conflict might have sprouted with a laugh and a touch of the hand. "Well, I hate empty things. Empty chairs, empty tables, empty glasses...so thank you for ordering, John!"

    The Vitae flush in Clara's cheeks radiated. She always ran too hot on the Blush. She pulled her hair into an impromptu and sloppy pony tail to cool her neck and shoulders. "Yeah, it is remarkable. John's here to be my escort, but I'm afraid neither of you have any such innocent excuse."

    Krieg wasn't meshing with John. To be expected. "Oh, I'm sure I could convince you of just about anything. Assuming you're paying attention to my words, Karl." Light teasing laced with just a bit of mischief. Clara was feeling out the sweet spot of enticement just before annoyance. She continued to address Krieg. "Yes, the Company is doing so well these days. But I never see you! You always just show up to meetings and disappear all mysterious after. It makes me wonder what you get up to in your free time..." she left the question unasked to see if he'd indulge her with an answer. Clara wondered on crushes, and what would it take to get the Giant to nurse one.
