Eris followed Varis' gesture to the scabbard at the blond's side. Noila trained and everything, and yet they chose to release him into the Sinnenodel household. He'd feel bad if he wasn't convinced that there was more to this than he thought, but for now it wasn't a priority. He did chuckle to himself at the redhead's response, paying little mind to the interaction between the receptionist and Varis as he instead admired the work around the shop. Humble, clean, and noisy, though it would get the job done, he supposed. There was no mistaking the confusion on the poor little one's face as he looked at him, Eris throwing him a wink in recognition. A few weeks and hopefully that would die down, then he can tuck an idea to rally up some noise again if needed.

Once Eris was addressed, he flashed a grin at Varis. Alone at last. Wait, no, his own mage was probably brooding nearby, wasn't he? Turning his head towards the mage in question, Eris clucked his tongue. Right, right, the focus for this kid. He supposed it was best to get that over with and done sooner than later lest he remain with that scowl permanently on his face. The town wasn't exactly brimming with options, though, the few shops around probably having limited inventory.

[color=ccff99]"Make the best of what you have,"[/color] He muttered to himself before looking at Varis. [color=ccff99]"My delivery will be here soon, so if you'll suffer his company a bit longer, we should wrap up sooner than later,"[/color] Eris glanced at the time and felt his phone buzzing once again. Sooner than later, actually. 

Eris' eyes roamed the street as he pulled out his phone, walking outside of the shop. [color=ccff99]"[i]Bonjour? ...oui, je suis devant le salon de tatouage,[/I]"[/color] He raised his free hand as he spotted a sleek, black car. [color=ccff99]"[i]Est-ce vous? Parfait, viens ici, alors.[/I]"[/color] 

Once the car pulled over in front of the shop, a long legged, blonde woman with a suit jacket and her hair neatly tied underneath her cap came out of the driver's seat. Coming around the car, she offered the two vampires a deep bow of respect before opening the passenger's door. A young man with golden brown hair cautiously climbed out of the car holding what looked like a duffel bag. His clothes were on the casual side; a polo accompanied with a pair of jeans, though an eagle-eyed observer would notice the Ivanov logo adorning the collar. He seemed to be finishing a conversation, a hand flying to the wireless Bluetooth headset before flashing a brilliant grin at Eris.

[color=00FA9A]"Good evening,"[/color] He greeted them cordially, holding the duffel bag to his side.

Eris practically beamed at the man, a hand on his hip as he looked him up and down. He must have just come from a golf match or something.[color=ccff99]"Perfect timing,"[/color] He said before reintroducing him. [color=ccff99]"Antigone, you remember Count Varis, of course,"[/color] Antigone bowed to the count on cue, subduing his grin a touch as he looked at the other mage. Spinning around to introduce him, Eris pointed at him as he spoke. [color=ccff99]"And this is..."[/color] He trailed off, pulling out the card with the mage's name on it. [color=ccff99]"Maxwell Alderman."[/color] Yeah, he was never going to remember all that. Deciding on a shorthand, he continued, [color=ccff99]"Wells will be my mage while I'm here at the academy. Wells, this is Antigone Aëdon, my agent and manager."[/color] 

Antigone nodded at Maxwell, the tiniest hint of amusement in his otherwise cordial expression. [color=00FA9A]"Nice to meet you,"[/color] He said politely, handing Eris the bag. 

The vampire was giddy as he placed the bag on the ground, kneeling down to unzip the side. As he worked the zipper, a small whine could be heard. Shortly after, a [url=https://thehappypuppysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/white-pomeranian-long-1024x555.jpg]small puff of a pup[/url] walked out nervously, looking around at the many people around her. Eris was positively delighted as he watched her take a few steps, scooping her up into his hand as he would stand. She sat on his hand, tiny limbs hanging as her eyes darted around.

[color=ccff99]"Isn't she [I]beautiful?[/I]"[/color] Eris gushed, gently stroking her head to soothe her.

[color=00FA9A]"She is a purebred white Pomeranian, she will grow to be approximately six pounds and eight inches in height."[/color] Antigone said, eyes darting to Maxwell for a second. [color=00FA9A]"Her name is...Maxie."[/color] He finished, scratching his neck as he contained a laugh.
