Maria cocked her head, smiling. "I hope my family does not offend you," she said. "We are a little more... free-spirited than the Kingstons. But we are not bad people." she assured him quickly, but it didn't really matter. She would be whatever he wanted her to be. She had always been loyal to Alistair because he was her sire, but now she felt that, if this angelic knight wished it, she would leave her sire and follow him anywhere. It wasn't like she would be missed at that much. She wasn't the most important person in the family. In fact, she wasn't important at all. Her skill was not required. She had been turned merely at a whim by her sire, not because he required her presence. While she was grateful to him for giving her this life that she loved, if there was a chance to find a place where she was valued and wanted for more then just amusement she would take it.

"I see nothing but dogs in your clan and you there bitch. I hope for all your sake's Mira proves to be a good leader or I will go back to my old ways." With that he pushed past the Blackmoore's. "And the only reason I am not on the council." He shot Trixy a glare. "Is because I've five of it's former members. Now go spread your legs for your master, I have important matters to attend to, I do not have time for a French whore." a entering the club heading back Lucian. "We are leaving, time is up and the locals are restless. I suggest you make peace with your women, you may return tomorrow night." Praetor carefully watched the other vampire in the club, he knew he had just insulted there clan and the executioner personally so he expected trouble, trouble that would give him cause to kill half there clan and drive them from the city.

Lucian smiled at Maria allowing his guard to fall and a true connection to be made, "Offend me? Your family is hysterical! I feel quite at home actually." His eyes filled with sorrow, "Maria...please...come with me...I shan't be away from you for another dark moment in this black existence!" He held out his hand, "I would take you to see all this world might offer...please..." That's when his sire approached him, was he trying to force him to leave after all Lucian had heard everything that had gone on outside, and now he was trying to force them apart after just finding each other. White cold anger and liquid rage filled the vampire with bloodlust. He looked Preator in his eyes given him full view that the powerful barriers that sealed away Lucian's "other side" had indeed been shattered, "No...I shall do as I please...if I so choose I shall spend tonight in debauchery and merriment with the Blackmoores...and if you would so like to stop me..." His fingers wrapped around fangs hilt, "you want the truth Preator... You remember the case in London...the one we knew was a vampire but couldn't place how the killings were being done? I started having flashbacks weeks ago...I'm your culprit brother!" His words were full of venom and for the first time in a long time he let out a roar that shook the building, amping the sound just right to knock every human in the building unconscious, "Either she comes with me...or I'll give you a reason to be Van Helsing again."
