She relished the challenge because of who she was and her breeding; she was from a line chosen for their tenacity to serve the Immortals when Rome first laid its foot upon the world. Outsiders would think her service as some tawdry exchange and many assumed it was some sick perversion and in the end they’d not see the truth that Ashley and her kind were a generational sacrifice so that their Masters and Mistresses didn’t feed on the rest of the mortals in their range unless driven to do so. First and foremost Ashley unlike other mortals felt no fear of death nor expected any reward after death because she lived in the environment of predators feeding her Vampire Lords and Ladies, bargaining with Wolf and Witch; she found it exhilarating. Not because she was a fear junkie or some other form of derangement but because of the challenge, nothing more. She had also spent the morning ordering the construction companies she’d detailed to build up and secure her home to assign as many technicians and installers as necessary to remodel her Ladyship's home in less than two weeks. Next came the acquisition of three vehicles which could potentially survive the highway of death; leased on a four year program from a company in Arkansas that built them for world figures and stars. Her next trouble would be in finding trustworthy drivers for she could only drive one at a time and she didn’t yet have a full profile on the coven or it’s other servants. Presently she was observing the latest conflict being resolved while acting as if she were another piece of furniture or work of art; there yet innocuous only responding to her Ladyship with a nod of recognition. Then she listened as she heard the exchange between Piper Lucinda and Lukas none of it seeming externally to affect her in the slightest like a Buckingham Guardsman at her post awaiting orders from her superior.
