(1205) Aileen and Max

[Max Heinz]

*Max nods his head at the woman's questions, taking a moment to consider which to answer first.*

The Order is indeed in good standing within the Domain, and all are welcome that know how to conduct themselves properly. And there are no mortal threads to be aware of, the Masquerade is well maintained in Sacramento. There are six other members of the Order besides myself within the city, and we have a proper meeting house whose address I can provide to you.

*A slight pause, Max wondering if he should be completely honest with Aileen about the dangers the Dragons faced in Sacramento.* As for threats... It's not to say we're the target of malicious intent from the world, but we have had a number of unfortunate setback in the past; one's that would be better discussed in private I think. I'm sure I don't have to tell you how dangerous the path we take can be.

[Aileen McFarlane]

The words of caution about the dangers of the path were not lost on Aileen, and she nodded carefully.

I would gladly like to come to our meeting house, where we could discuss things as privately as they need, Grand Wyrm. Maybe we could already schedule a meeting, if that's possible ?

She needed to know what to hide from. She didn't want to be shot nearly to death again. Ever.

[Max Heinz]

*Max nods his head at Aileen's suggestion.* Of course, Ms McFarlane... *Max takes out a business card, quickly writing down an address before handing it to Aileen.* That is the address of the Chapter House. I'm there most nights, feel free to drop by any time you wish...

*As he hands the card over to Aileen, he can't help but grin as he felt a familiar Beast step into Court. He waits patiently for his fellow Dragon to take the card and to see if she had any other questions for him.*

[Aileen McFarlane]

Aileen took the card with a nod she hoped to be formal, and carefully stored it in her bag where it wouldn't be lost.

Thank you, Grand Wyrm. I'll be in touch shortly, if it's alright.

Not much else to say within so public premises, so the Mekhet female wondered if she could leave after so short a presence. Did she get noticed enough to satisfy the needs of formality ? She was the greenest in town, so she'd better err on the side of caution... and she needed to at least try something else.

Also, would you mind telling me whether you can see Reeve Greyson, please ? I would need to talk to him too, if he's in attendance.

Or otherwise be seen by the Herald, and leave.

[Max Heinz]

Take as long as you need, Ms McFarlane. I know now hectic the first few months in a new city can be.*Max nods, taking a quick scan around the Court. Failing to find Greyson, he motions towards where the city officials kept their offices.* I do not see him out here, perhaps we should check his office? *He offers his elbow to his Cousin, prepared to escort the newly arrived Dragon to the Reeve's office.*

[Aileen McFarlane]

Thank you, Grand Wyrm. It is very considerate of you, and I gladly accept.

Some in their family could be old-fashioned at times, but it was not always for the worst. She took his elbow with a kind nod, and tried to make herself even more unassuming than usual while her escort scanned the crowd for her. She would have blushed.
