The Dojo

Having changed into a sports bra and hakama pants, Amberelle slipped out of her room with a small bundle under her arms. She made her way outside and scanned the area, looking for the dojo Chryseis had mentioned.

It was a simple building, very classic in design. It's shoji screened doors gleemed white in the darkness of the night, making it easy to find. Amberelle slid the doors open softly, slipping out of her shoes and leaving them beside the door as she stepped in and turned on the lights. It was a quiet and peaceful night, and she went around opening the windows to allow the night's breezes to move through.

Stepping into the center of the mats, she knelt and placed her bundle before her. She quickly pulled her hair back into a braid, tying it off with a rubber band from around her wrist. That done she begain to roll her head slowly, and go into her stretching with deep and measured breaths.


((OOC : Hakama pants are those billowy skirt looking pants that samuri used to wear, and you see people wear in kendo))

Sorin nodded in understanding and grinned.

"All that is very important, of course, and we could really use your help in that area. Like I said many of our people have an aversion for technology but..."

He paused and schooled his face into expressionless seriousness.

"More importantly we need someone to film the Order of the Night's plays and musical events"

Sorin grinned at her then unable to keep the serious expression any longer.

That caused her to giggle. 'He is dangerous all right, I find myself wanting to like him, he seems so witty.. Mon dieu, this will be interesting.' Amberelle shook her head at Sorin, and smiled.

Well, I may be more familiar with spy cameras and such but.. I do know camcorders as well. She glave him a mock serious expression If you would entrust such an important task to me, I will do my very best. It would be my honor to aid you with the recording of our sacred plays and performances.

She bowed slightly to him looking serious and focused, then looking up to meet his eyes again couldn't help but bust out giggling once more.

He clapped his hands smiling.

"Excellent! The Order of the Night would be honored by your participation. It is important cultural information well worth preserving I assure you. Except for the time our Macbeth was drunk and fell off the stage."

"Amateurs" He sighed and rolled his eyes to the heavens.

"Speaking of my fellow thespians. I should be getting back to the manor and checking in with a few of the Night that are out on assignment. We shall look at those movies some time later, perhaps?"
Amberelle DeEspionne 18 years ago
Oui, some other time indeed.. She smiled and bowed to him. I have enjoyed our conversation tonight very much and look forward to watching the films. Just let me know when you are able, your schedule is much busier than mine I am sure.

Perhaps some time I can help with the plays as well.. I am a decent pianist and have a few years of dance training. It would be fun, I think. Quickly slicing the katana blade down her finger with a faint wince, she wiped and sheathed it, then stood.

Sorin watched the classic gesture of feeding the blade with some surprise. For such a modern made vampire she was certainly well trained. Perhaps there was something to her that warranted Gustav's insistance that she be returned.

Sorin was beginning to think that the man might not get what he wanted after all. He smiled inwardly, unfortunate but not to be helped. After all was not Sorin only one of three on the Triad? Certainly he couldn't sway the others in everything.

He smiled inwardly, not that he would have even brought it to the council if he had thought there was more to be gained by sending her back. He'd have simply trussed her up and put her on a plane. Who knows how she went missing?


"We would be honored to have you join us. "

He smiled and bowed to her before turning on his heel and heading towards the manor.

She watched him walk away with a small sense of relief. Her emotions were all jumbled, and she sighed, rubbing her temple trying to sort them out. She certainly knew better than to trust Sorin, but he seemed so genuine, so completely likeable that she had started to doubt he was anything like Gustav after all. 'Contemplations better left for someplace more private than here' she told herself and shook off the nagging feeling. She went around shutting all of the windows, extinguished the lights and made her way out the door with her swords once more bundled up under her arm. After she slid the doors shut she slipped her shoes back on and turned back towards her room. She had determined to shower and head out to town for a bit to clear her head.

((OOC : Amby out!))

Lock please =)
