Mel had managed to surprise Alex two days before the trip with the itinerary. The look on her face had been priceless. Then there was shopping with Rini for vacation clothes which she had none of. Hours later huge bags full of shorts, rompers, sundresses, sandaled heels and high top stylish sneakers for walking in. Currently, the two vampires who had been sent with here were locked in and bedded down for the day. Unloaded by kiss sent caretakers for transport one to the chapel and the other to the hotel with her.
She would drop her off makes sure no one could get to her and expose the sun, then freshen up and first stop would be the pride house Heiro had seen her off to the airport with a gift of whiskey to Pepper. To pay respect to local pride and prove no threat meant. Also to Re-establish a possible link to the abstrimus. Her long waves blowing in the humid breeze sunglasses on her face.
The cute kente print shorts showed off her legs, a blue cropped top with Made in Wakanda in black let her very flat middle peek free. The wedge sneakers were black and white shell tops, a smattering of jewelry on her person made it all pop. Stepping down the small steps with her suitcase then setting it to rolling behind her she wasn't sure if anyone would be here to meet her or if shed get a ride right to the hospital.

As they arrived Gates people immediately pounced they were attentive focused and so very obsequious. Four minutes from touch down and Melissa was two minutes from the Inn on Bourbon. She was escorted directly to the adjoining suites where she and Alexandras would stay during their visit.
As Melissa was escorted to which of the two would be hers Gates waited Sazerac made with the high power spirits the Sleuth had spent the last two years perfecting in hand. “Greetings and welcome to the Crescent City Melissa.”
He spared a smile and reached out with the Leonine portion of his aura caressing hers.

Mel had been smiling and joking with the people on the ride and as the door to her suite was unlocked looking behind her as she walked in and hit a wall. Literally rocking on her toes as she spotted the man in her room. So many things in her head one of them was having left her guns which was stupid, then the next was how dare, and then noticing how incredibly good looking he was.
Mouth suddenly dry eyes already tinged gold from her issues in Chicago even tho she had cut back some on her time in lioness. Glasses dragged off her face and walking forward like he had a sirens call a slight stammer" yes ..um Im ..yes hi..thank you"
man if he was the welcoming committee she should have come to the big easy sooner. Trying to snap out of it before she looked uneducated and thotish, she accepted the drink giving it a soft appreciative and explorative sniff. Sipping slow and then whistling as it went down like honey fire" whats this called again?"

Oh but the link was strong and almost instantaneous. He felt her connection to the Abstrahimus. She bolstered by all those suns. All those lovely batteries and repositories of the suns graces. Each connected and yet divisible. Flowing a portion of their strength into the concentrated whole. Quirking a brow as he reigned himself into a manageable singularity he smiled.
" This is a modified Sazerac. One of New Orleans treasures. Much as you are one of Hieronymous treasures. I can see now why we were not able to better woo him into staying during his last visit."
Taking her hand he gave her a guided tour of her suite as well as informing her of the adjoining suite that housed Alexandras leaving her before the closed doors leading out to the balcony.

Looking at the glass then at him then a full blush as he called her a treasure heiro had confessed recently how much she'd meant to him but she still had a hard time believing." Thats a pretty thought..maybe"
When his hand slid into hers it was like silk made into water and warmed flowed up her arm then down her body eliciting a sound that started moan and ended purr. He was dangerous and she could see why heiro had beat feet because if he could do this what could the infamous chidera do?
As he led her around she listened to the tour and when they had to let go st the balcony she hesitated. Then went finishing her drink.
Turning to look at him after she looked out side" its beautiful and I can't believe I'm here"

“ I try not to speak in absolutes. But you are. You carry the feel of him just beneath your skin. Even now his wafting aura sits just gossamer like above your own vibrant aura." Gates said his voice carrying the magnified heat of the savannah a slight welcoming feralness to its edge. Rolling along her skin like the nuzzling of a happy yet hungry lion.
He was familiar with the phrase and its uses though it amused him no less hearing it from her lips." Believe it you are here and I wish you to enjoy the fullness of your time. Might I suggest as one of your first stops be La Maison De L'ours. They are a renowned institution and one of the best places to sample the local cuisine. The walk is a short one yet rife with the sights and sounds of the city." Waiting just outside of direct sunlight he smirked as she glanced up and down the street watching the parties that had been in motion for the last few days winding up and down of their own volition.

The ghost of his beast begged hers to play, it coaxed chased nipped. She grinned food would be good, turning and stepping out of the light. It was almost poetic as he said she held light but he promised darkness.
Glass empty she felt it, lip licked " always this hot here?"
Strange to be use to warmth but this was drenching moisture and sticky."will you stay till alex wakes up?i hate to leave her but needed to go by the pride house before dark to pay respect and drop a gift off."

"No need she is a relation of the Kiss born and smithed here the magic of the place courses through her. Even now she stirs as her native soil calls to her. Rise though she won't she is safe here. I give you my most solemn word of it."
All true and yet so much more. If Alexandras but relinquished the blinders she 0laced over herself just like her misbegotten maker she might rise and partake of certain activities. He'd hoped her exile would have strengthened her so that she might reach a portion if her potential sadly her anger was still a yoke instead if her key to some measure of freedom. Perhaps seeing how low her maker had fallen would help.
"That is an expected foray and as such a car is awaiting you to help you achieve your aim."

At his promise she smiled"I like knowing that she means a fair bit to me. Brought me out of my darkness more than once, this was a gift to her. For us to come here to have her show me around but..also"
She paused and shrugged not sure if it was her place to say what mattered to alex. Then smiling again like what ever cloud was blown away" she will I'm sure want to come by this evening I will come as well. You also have your...manager Collette Aeolas sent her. Shes kinda sour faced but almost as organized as alex."
Mel hadn't known about the training till they were to leave it made sense. If that was any indication the master vampire had done a bang up job. Tho Collette seemed to not like his flirtatious natural nature. That could be a problem looking at gates.

He nodded knowingly at her pause. Alexandras was by and large a victim of her Makers. As such he felt responsible to give her a chance at growth which was why hed sent her away. Not only as punishment for her assaults but as a way to show leniency.
Her return now was fraught but he was sure they could manage if even but a mouse's share of her rage had been quieted.
"Well my dear," he said aloud, his thoughts as ever in many a tomorrow. "You mustnt tarry. The car is downstairs and I am sure you will be shown the sights on your way. Do carry also my word to Pepper and Aminta of them in my thoughts. "

She laughed softly at his old world feel and speaking, it was very interesting and set a mood. Having been around him for the last moments the draw to him lessened it wasn't gone but it wasn't a desert starved person finding an oasis either." ok then lemme just grab the gift"
Going for her bag she took out the black box with the bow and inside was a green tube with a green bottle inside that. She reput on her shades and headed down the stairs giving him one more glance on the way out trusting he would know how to lock the door behind. Slipping into the very nice black town car in back she grinned. This was pretty swanky and beat walking for sure.
As they traveled toward the pride house he stopped a few times letting her grab a bauble or two and a shrimp po'boy to eat in the car. It was one of the most delicious things Mel had ever tasted. The shrimp was plump and firm and crispy covered in a slightly spicy sauce. the bread was amazing and could be eaten on its own. Sipping the small hurricane shed gotten to wash it down then popping some gum.
As the pulled up outside the large plantation house she was in awe the feel of the place was like stepping back in history. The feel of lion was thick they had more members here then even heiro did back home.

Pepper had heard they were getting a visit so it didn't surprise her when the town car pulled up while she was out on the porch. Sipping sweet tea, ankle flicking things had been peaceful mostly. Once they chased the outsiders out and settled down and her nita came home, they had settled into a way of life. Having accepted Samuels offer her lions now had a way to work off energy and have money.
It was good, watching the young lady from the abstract sent by Heiro walk forward with a box. She grinned" come on up here sugah lemme give ya a look over. How was the flight?"
there was no threat to the girl but the power she carried Pepper felt it and recognized it. Yep she was one of the chicago lions Mutton chop had felt something alike this.

Jaedon had been rough housing with the younger lions it was a daily practice session as it helped them burn off the excess energy that was coming as they quicker than expected were approaching another midsummer. He shuddered thinking on how they'd responded when Aminta beat the brakes off Chantelle. The practice sessions were helping and kept them focused as well as managed to keep him in far better shape than he would have been. using the towel he'd begun keeping handy he dried himself off and made his way to the house from the Venatorious.
Feeling the other lioness he chuckled of course they'd have visitors or a visitor him sweaty and dirt daubed. Shaking his head embracing the barbarian lion vibe he moved to Pepper a smile in place. "Hey looks like we got another newbie."

Mel blushed softly the woman in front of her was younger but felt more regal then she could have imagined. In awe of her some she stepped up only to have her jaw near drop as a male lion passed her to the porch pausing near Pepper. Eyes raking him she licked a lip, Did all the men here look like honeyed sinful treats? Wow, he was something to look at.
She bit her lip for a second then remember the box in her hand" sorry I .... Um yeah Gates said to give you and the rest his most warm greetings and also fondest wishes and thank you from Heiro for allowing me to come visit here while on vacation"
Offering the box to her, Inside was the green an silvery box with the Glenfiddich 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Heiro had sent with her. she hoped they liked it it was a popular Irish brand with fruit notes.
Glancing back to the man" Oh not staying permanently just envoy of both the abstract and Chicago pride Also to enjoy mardi gras and be a tourist for a bit"
Her eyes kept flicking to his bare chest, it was rude to acknowledge his nudity as a shifter but body was a body and his was nice. Wondering if this was all part of her having finally gotten some recently and now wanting more.

Watching her come up and spotting Jae she smirked, and then outright laughed when the shirtless male seemed to tongue tie the young city pretty. Taking the box and the greetings: I appreciate both Welcome to New Orleans I am peppa as I'm sure you know and the is Jeadon my militis. I'm sure if you want a more personal tour of the city he would be a good bet"
Teasing her because the hungry look was clear. It made her wonder tho and they would talk woman to woman later. For now tho she patted a chair near her and looked up at him with a smile" gifts are almost always good things care to go get some glasses so we can welcome our guest properly?"
truly enjoying her self, she glanced at the other again wondering what their dear chidera would make of her.
