Anya arrived to the coven meeting early. Her weekend had been spent peacefully seeing clients and making a deal with the House of Cards… one she would need to discuss with Greyson soon. Not at this meeting, of course. Not in the waking world either. 

There had been another strange dream last night she couldn’t control - a dream recollection, clearly. Yet another thing on the teetering stack of things she had to discuss with her few close confidantes. Really, it was surprising no one had come to [i]her[/i] about them. It was her field of expertise, after all. Then again, most here didn’t know when to admit they needed help.

The meeting location this time was more appropriate, and hopefully unlikely to be burnt down. She took a seat at an empty table, since she couldn’t see Sloane yet, and waited for things to finally start.

And they did… with two new faces. Another Vanburen. Anya raised an eyebrow. She really couldn’t escape the Vanburens these days. Of course, Sabrina’s offer of wealth and influence wasn’t something Anya was interested in. Not because she didn’t want those, but rather she already had a direct connection to the [i]most[/i] rich and influential Vanburen.

[color=9966CC]”It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sabrina,”[/color] Anya said evenly with a smile. [color=9966CC]”“I hope you're more reasonable than the Vanburen that used to be part of her coven. How is Patricia, by the way? Like with all the members that didn't return, I was concerned for her… she seems most likely to be caught out alone. And she does a great deal for the flowers of St Portwell.”[/color]

Of course, Anya knew very well how Patricia was doing - at least that she’d fallen in with Leon’s family. There was absolutely no need to be concerned, but she needed to be up the front. 

[color=9966CC]”A pleasure to meet you too, Nora.”[/color]

Someone who could build magic things… Now she was certainly an asset. Something for Anya to think on. 

[color=9966CC]”Tayla, don’t you remember the recollection? 8th Street [i]has[/i] Kari’s notes,”[/color] Anya turned to look at the other woman with a calm smile. [color=9966CC]”But I do, otherwise, agree that we can’t just discard our other concerns to solely focus on 8th Street. No one has discussed these [i]clearly important[/i] dreams we’re all having. Really, they’re recollections in a dream form. Immutable. Someone- or something- is showing us images of the past. If we have the time and capacity, we should look into Raven Jones.”[/color]

[color=9966CC]”But- and this is an important but- 8th Street are trying to kill us just as much as Father Wolf is. Emily won’t leave us alone. Much like Father Wolf, she’ll move onto the next target for a perceived slight. And we should protect our own, from [i]any[/i] threat.”[/color]

And an alliance with Greenwood would only benefit them. Probably.

Her gaze moved past Tayla to the newcomer- no, intruder. She was surprised she’d had the gall to turn up. But then again, Luna had always been rather… stupid. Not knowing when to stay away, and not even knowing how to spy well in the first place. It was the main reason she didn’t want her deal with Valencia shared with Luna - she would so quickly spill it to everyone else before Anya could use it to [i]their[/i] advantage.

[color=9966CC]”Yes, Tsukino, do tell us what you know. We don’t have all day.”[/color]
