A mysterius text message (ATTN: Lioni)

Marius had received the short message from Aurelie, asking him for help, and immediately jumped on his bike. He didn't know who she had meant in her text, but he would find out soon enough. He made his way to the Asylum with haste, hoping she was there and ok.

He pulled in next to the entrance, where he had seen Aurelie stand and wait for him to arrive almost every time he had been here. His beast rattled its cage again, as the weight of the text message came back to him. He had promised to protect her.
With a focused act of will he calmed his beast and headed for the door; it would do no good to loose his composure here.

When the doorman stopped him, he gave his name, and asked to see Lioni, the Mistress of the House.

He still wore the cloth he had at the Grindhouse, having received the message before he had a chance to change.



((My apologies for this post coming so late, I had a rough week and not enough time to think about how to start it off.))

"Good evening Lady Lioni." he said with a slight bow. "I received a somewhat disturbing text message from Aurelie and rushed here to see if you know whether she is alright."
His eyes stayed focused on her own, knowing full well about the Ventures ability. Nevertheless his mental defenses were at the ready, should she try anything.

"Lady Lioni, I do not know what I have done to deserve your scorn." He said, not letting the conversation end that easily. He had the chance to show her that his feelings for Aurelie were sincere and he wasn't going to let that opportunity pass.

"Tell me what I have done, for I care a great deal about Aurelie." his voice was sharp but sincere. He did not take kindly to disrespect however, and Lioni was pushing it.

Marius' beast raged as Lioni became angry, wanting nothing more than to tear her throat out and watch her bleed out bite for bite. But Marius had enough experience with these upheavals and where he might have failed, had he been drunk on the blood of the Wolves, he managed to regain his composure quickly enough for her not to notice.
It had been her disrespect in the first place, ignoring him utterly when she had first seen him with Aurelie. He had not know that she was unreleased, for what kind of sire puts their child into torpor before release? Wasn't the act of staking ones own blood a release of some kind?
Why hadn't Aurelie told him? Of course he had suspected it, and he should have come talk to Lioni a long time ago; but she had been such an arrogant ice queen.

He also knew what Lioni had implied when she said he no longer existed for Aurelie.

Damn the Ventrue and their mind raping. he thought, as he sat back onto his motorcycle and took off.
