Synn shook Viktor's hand. "I'm Synnøve Nevalainen, though most prefer to call me Synn-- most people don't pronounce my name correctly in the first place." And yes, Synn had heard some pretty odd pronunciations of her name over the years. Everything from Sin-oh-ve to Sighn-oove. "If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your job?"

San nodded. She leaned against a statue, reclining in her sang-froid. The redolent scent of honeysuckle still hung in the air, but she was ignoring it now. She was not for this palaver, it interested her little. She was rarely of such a laconic nature, but something in Anubis's air tipped her off that something was slightly different. She was considering the possibility of inveigling him into revealing what it was, but thought better of it, for the moment at least. Thus, she continued to lean upon the tree, insouciant and urbane in manner. The halcyon enviorment made her filled with the same tranquility, and she examined Anubis and Synn carefully. After a moment, she decided that hanging about would do no good in unraveling any mystery, so she obtained her gemutlichkeit, and began to smile, not the coy smile she had donned before, but now more open and inviting. She, however, did not make it so different that her caprice would be obvious.

The honeysuckle scent was driving Viktor insane. It was emanating off the two girls like sweet perfume...but somehow better than that. And the ring on his left hand was glowing and dimming sporadically. It itched badly. Perhaps if he took it off the need to scratch would go away. Then he could taste the honeysuckle that coated these girl's skin and radiated off of them like pheramones.
A shiver went up his spine at the mere thougt of indulging himself this one time. But he could not afford that. If he gave in to his baser instincts he was no better than his family...hell he would be less than them, he would be nothing but a dog. So instead Viktor did what he was best at, hiding his thoughts. After letting go of Synn's hand he firmly grasped his cane, gave his best "Good Ol' Boy" smile and Answered "Me? Before I "Enrollled" here I did work as a private detective Synnøve. Nothing special really. I found lost objects, collected intelligence, and occasionally some exorcism jobs. Had to do something to pay the bills after all...and my talents as a wolf mage came in handy. But enough about me. Might I inquire to learn Madame Synnøve's and Madame Sanet's backgrounds?" The Beast made gagging sounds in Anubis' head.

San debated on how much to reveal of her history. Deciding there was little need for any mistrust here, she decided to go with enough of her history to satisfy the question but not enough to seem self-centered. "I lived in New York. Manhattan. Had to stay indoors most of the time, most people don't take to cat ears and tails and cat eyes, you know? My mom's friend, Sarah Frodgen, introduced me to a kid so I had someone to play with, when I was about 3 or so. His name was Martin Brown. Sarah Frodgen was a witch, I guess, and Martin was her apprentice because he had magic powers, too. I was home-schooled by my dad. That's where I get the feline features from, actually. He disappeared on my eleventh birthday, though. Went into a bit of a depression, before I joined the gangs. Martin and I were pretty important, most gang members can't stand up to magic. Me and Martin, we were best friends. He died though. I had to run away about a month after. My gang got caught when we were robbing a shop. I stayed out there for 3 years, then I got caught. Damned old lady saw me in her orchard. I got brought home for one night before I would have to go to jail. Mom sent me here instead." She spoke with an odd despondancy from the subject. She wasn't sure why, but she was preferring to stay carefree with this gentleman.

"Ah, a private investigator that must have been very interesting. I myself wanted to be a forensic scientist before coming here to TMA..." She nodded slightly and slowly as she spoke. Synn used the time San took to relay the story of her past to get her own thoughts in order-- she was listening though. "Wow..." was all she could really think of to say about San's past-- that must have been horrible. Gangs and jail weren't things Synn was too familiar with. Then it came her turn to speak. "I grew up in an orphanage in Helsinki... I have no clue who my real parents are, but we can only assume that they were vampires, and maybe Norwegian-- Synnøve is actually Norse in origin. Anyway, I basically spent most of my time alone in a corner... I was always the creepy little girl with the morbid fascination with death who was always sick. So I was adopted when I was about ten by this family called the Hietalas. They had twins around my age.... A boy and a girl. I didn't really get along with any of them. Once I discovered I was a necromancer, I started making weird things happen-- like resurrecting the family dog, for instance. Then there was the addictions, and I was sent to a private school in Vaatimaa...I was expelled, of course... I then just ran away to a friends house in Kotka, but was discovered and sent home... I spent some more time with the Hietalas, until Minna told me about TMA... Minna was this sweet old lady who taught me all about magic, and figured out I was a vampire. After she died she left some money to me, and I ended up here.... Did I mention the part about me being depressed and bi-polar?"

Anubis raised his eyebrows. Why were these two young ladies, without any hesitation at all, telling intimate personal details to him? A man who they had just met. (well technically he had met San before, but they had not had a chance to converse) Heh Heh, maybe that gentleman crap is finally starting to pay off. Ignoring the beast Anubis continued, losing the serene smile in favor of a more sympathetic look. "That is...very sad... If I was rude in asking please forgive me. I can somewhat relate to you both...My family was far from caring, in fact some called the Kriegs the Black Mage Mafia...Long story short, I didnt agree with their way of life and was disowned. I lost my inheiritance, the right to associate myself with them, and I was forced to give up something precious...something I can never get back."
Anubis had edited out the parts where his own mother had betrayed him and he had turned into a werewolf. Didnt want to scare off the sources of the irresistable scent after all.

"Well that sucks," replied San. "And don't pay any mind to all that." Sheturned her head a bit to the side, a little questioning, exposing her neck. She was comfortable here, that was for sure. "Might we find a bite to eat somewhere? I'm quite hungry, right now." Images of burgers, fries, and milkshakes popped into her mind like teasing dreams. An image of she and Julius sharing a milkshake came to mind. And they were leaning forward, they were going to- no. Not right now. She let out a little sigh of longing, and brought herself back to he present.

Synn nodded in agreement with San. "Messed up families seem to be very common among 'gifted' children" She used air quotes around the word gifted. "May I inquire as to what your powers are, Viktor? or would you prefer to be called Anubis?"
"Anyway San, I wouldn't know about anywhere to eat-- In fact, I don't eat.... And I doubt anyone would want to be around me when I'm 'feeding'..." She smirked. Bloodsucking did tend to take away people's appetites, unless of course, you were a vampire...

Anubis chuckled. "Like I said, the nameAnubis is for when Im on the job. You may call me Viktor if you wish. Hell Ill settle for Vik. But I do have one request when it comes to addressing me...don't say my last name in public...tends to make people afraid."
Anubis stopped laughing when the subject turned to food. He had been doing a good job of hiding the hunger and lust that trembled just below the surface of his mind. But this mentioning of "feeding was too much even for him. The beast would not be denied...not this time. Anubis' right hand trembled violently for a few seconds, and then he dropped his cane. The sound of it landing on the ground echoed in his ears. His hearing ability had increased tenfold.
Although Anubis struggled to maintain control of his thoughts.. without the cane it was for naught. He had reached that state where man and wolf were one and the same creature. The halfway point if you will. Even the two's seperate thoughts were now merged as one. Hungry....pluck the honeysuckle....fun time.[/color]
This change was barely noticeable from an outsiders perspective, in fact the only visible thing about it was the dropping of the cane. Anubis' smile and general facial and body language remained calm. Anubis cricked his neck, sighing as he breathed in the two lovely young girl's scent. then he spoke and if you looked really closely you would see that his canines were now sharper and that his mysterious milky blue eyes had changed to a more darker shade of navy. His voice was suddenly lower and he spoke in barely more than a whisper. "Powers? Nothing special really. Standard black magic powers, OH and a mastery of electricity. If we ever get to a place with a power outlet Ill show ya what I mean."
He stepped closer towards Synn and San and basked in the pure ecstacy of their scent. "I hate braggin though. It's unbecoming of a gentleman." Anubis was feeling like the big bad wolf about to taste the jackpot. "Ive got to know though...which one of you is the source of this....CAPTIVATING scent...it smells like heaven...Who am I kidding? Its better than heaven. Honeysuckle. Ive tasted quite a few pretty flowers before but never anything this potent. Never anything where I would lower my inhibitions. So who is it?" Anubis moved so fast he could barely b seen. Suddenly he was face to face with San. "The lucious shapeshifter?" Then he was gone again and in right near Synn's face. "Or the stunning nosferatu?" Then he was well away from both of them back where he was standing before. "Forgive my rudeness...but if I dont know who its coming from I might just die of anticipation."

San blinked, but maintained her cool... She had used honeysuckle body soap.. It was her favorite. It smelled quite nice. "I'm afraid that would be me," replied San. She took a small, subtle step forward. Her eyes glittered. She wasn't sure what was coming over her. Maybe.. maybe it was something that happened to shapeshifters. Perhaps they have an animal inside.. many animals, come to think of it. Her tail swished back and forth, calm and steady. She almost always chose feline forms.. She felt an attachment to them. Perhaps, this odd way of conduct, stemmed from her half cat side. Who knows. But it was all she could do to not purr. She was closer now, another step had been taken. She began to walk around him, as though she were sizing him up. Her tail flicked gently across his nose.

Anubis moaned softly as the cat's tail flicked over his nose. "Yeah, thats it allright." Anubis took that extra step toward San. He was now a breath away from San. He leaned forward slightly, as if to kiss her lucious lips but then stopped when he was an inch away from heaven. "Im afraid I havent been totally honest with you my dear Sanet. Im not just a mage...im a wolf mage. A lycanthrope. I hope that that isnt a problem?" Anubis prayed that she would not reject him like so many others had.

"It's no problem. I'm part cat, anyone related to an animal is fine by me," she purred. She had leaned forward as well, nearly closing the gap. Her eyes twinkled mischeviously. Thoughts of Julius were plowed from her mind- what would it matter? A little bit of her was scared of Julius- that part of him that had made him so transfixed upon her blood. It had terrified her. She couldn't deal with that. She had no misgivings of this at the moment. She was closer now.. a mere centimeter, maybe more, maybe less. She wouldn't be the first to close the gap completely. She had silenty dubbed that as Anubis's job.

Synn nodded to his request not to have his last name used in public.
She tensed a little when his cane fell-- Synn didn't feel threatened, but it was more or less a reflex from the sound of it hitting the ground.
What did make her feel uneasy was the change in eye color and voice-- that didn't seem normal. Synn eyed him a bit suspiciously but kept quiet.
When it came to the scent of the honeysuckle, she knew nothing about where the scent was coming from-- she certainly didn't think it was her. Synn did smile inwardly about being called stunning though, as she didn't usually receive compliments like that-- the most she usually got was 'freak' or 'creepy'.
She was right about not being the one that smelled like honeysuckle though-- it was San.
One thing Synn was surprised to hear was that Viktor was a lycan. A Werewolf. And everyone knows about the old tales-- how vampires and lycans are mortal enemies. Syn, however had no such prejudices, really. She supposed that it might be because she wasn't raised by her own kind. Still, she couldn't help herself but mutter, barely audibly,
"Hmmm... Thats interesting...."

Anubis is an opportunist at heart, Once she had given her consent the lycan wasted no time in closing the deal. He embraced Sanet's body with a fiery passion and closed the gap. Once their mouths touched Anubis finally tasted the sweet scent that had driven him mad with lust all day. As his tongue explored Viktor felt his pants tighten. Anubis could used to the sweet honey kisses.

San kissed him back with equal fervor, her body shuddering with joy. Her eyes were closed, her heartbeat fast. Julius had been expelled from her mind, and this was all she needed. She wrapped her own arms about hims, one on the back of his shoulders, and one where shoulders met the neck. The passion let her animal side take over her. She began to purr loudly. Her tail wrapped about his legs loosely.
