North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

Rowena had hoped, in some distant and fabled place, that ushering this atrociously disheveled patron to his quarters would herald the end of their rather useless interactions altogether and allow her to be well on her way to attending matters far more pressing than the one before her. His judgment of the frequent accommodations extended to Hunters by herself and The Witchery was surely not the first, and would hardly prove the last in a sprawling series of narrow presumptions regurgitated by haplessly constricted and, more oft than not, affected minds. Rowena was a businesswoman, and to forcefully alienate an entire (and rapidly expanding) demographic was a faulty trade decision that this businessman was apparently happy to indulge regardless. She, however, knew full well the various and unique benefits of the symbiotic relationship she shared with the Hunters who proffered her their regular patronage.

It is a conversation which she is content to allow to roll from her back as water, having long ago succumbed to the notion that to argue with fools was a labor whose toil was best employed elsewhere for vastly greater gain. The transition is flawless if for no reason apart from his admittedly expected suspicion of her declaration. A knowing smile slices her features as she waits as patiently as she had before for him to make his entrance into what would serve as his quarters for however long he might deem appropriate. "And you will understand my skepticism that your defenses were as advanced as you might believe if they were, in fact, obliterated as you say. You might just have to trust me on the matter... or don't, as it makes no difference to me." Her final statement is accented by the gentle and curt shrugging of her shoulders as he finally immerses himself in the lavish offerings of her establishment.

Despite the sweeping look of exhaustion etched plainly and unabashedly upon his features, it surprises the autocratic blonde dowager relatively little that he turns to her for one last verbal spat. The equivalent of a dying man's last defense, perhaps. Both the smile and the sage pools of her eyes are overcome with a flicker of something far darker and more enigmatic than anything that had existed heretofore in their brief conversation as she scans him. No blush caresses her cheeks, no feminine chortle echoes to assuage the non-existent embarrassment of his ill-mannered forwardness. "If I were of the belief that even a little pleasure might come from that... I would." And with that, Rowena pivots upon immaculate heels to, finally, take her leave of the vagabond and his equally as dissatisfactory feline companion. "Have a pleasant evening, Mr. Dorian."
