[b][color=#9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: Nakai[/center][hr]	Millicent was Virginia's closest friend. And as she had learned recently, Elizaveta was her blood. The Grand Duchess had been the one to secure James' safety, to ensure that he would be raised with a traditional Crypt upbringing and not need to worry about being murdered in his sleep. Such violent delights could wait until he was old enough to handle himself. Yet they only had an inkling of an idea as to where Millicent was, whereas Elizaveta's abductor was at least leaving a trail of sorts that could be followed. 

	[color=#9999ff]"We can save Elizaveta,"[/color] Virginia agreed. [color=#9999ff]"Yet Mary, my friend, I must confess that I have ever intention of murdering Lord Rutherford - if it means that Millicent becomes a widow, I am certain she will be far happier as of such...even if she herself does not realize that yet."[/color] They had the greater chance of saving Elizaveta at the moment - and the longer they delayed, the smaller that chance would become. Lord Rutherford would keep Millicent alive, at least for a while. Virginia was certain of it. It didn't match his M.O. to marry and murder within the same hour. 

	Virginia didn't say anything else, just preparing herself still through Nakai for mental and physical focus. Once they saved Elizaveta, she could take another glimpse ahead, see if she could find another piece of evidence of Millicent's trail. Yet combating this new Soulless would be exciting in its own right as well, she couldn't deny. She had an intuition that she could best meet it by projecting herself into the In Between - just not yet.

[b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: Deception[/center][hr]	Maeve couldn't feel but slightly surprised, though she didn't let it show on her face. He was working with a rival clan then - interesting. There had to be some sort of motive behind it, yet Maeve wasn't certain what exactly it would be. Money, she imagined, had to play some role in it. He clearly didn't care much for his family's status, if he sought to undermine Lady Kirkpatrick. Everything Maeve knew of the woman thoroughly indicated that she desired to see their status restored to what it once was. [color=ff6600]"Yer man is quite amusin' ter watch - almost an entertainer in 'is own right,"[/color] Maeve agreed. She felt a slight pang of something - protectiveness? guilt? disappointment? - at hearing that Calum was almost discharged. 

	She didn't blink as he came closer towards her, even as she felt fire and rage at the mention of protecting her daughter. That was the line that Maeve had drawn in the sand. She didn't care for their petty squabbling and politics - she felt neutral about the entire situation. But threaten Roisin and that was over. [color=ff6600]"I'll do whatever needs ter be done,"[/color] Maeve said, staring at him. [color=ff6600]"Go as far as I 'av ter."[/color] Her mind flickered back towards Lady Kirkpatrick's ledger.
