Home Sweet Home, Residential District
Lucienne and her servant had managed to leave the fight that had broken out during her negotiations that had been going rather peacefully. It seemed like servants were showing up one after the other. Well... They were. But she was wondering if that trend had continued on after her departure from the place.
But now it was back to Lucienne and her servant being alone. Although having a rather confident feeling of security she was now rather wary of her surroundings. Making sure that her guard isn't lowered and she is always on the lookout for enemy masters. Or just enemies in general. Of course she would leave looking out for her servants to her own as Caster was far superior in that regard.
"It seems that our best course of action would be to try and reconvene with those two pairs in the coming nights Caster. If we can work together with that lot then there shouldn't be too much to worry about." Lucienne made sure to communicate through the mental link with her servant. They were alone but even then she had come to think one couldn't be too careful. Perhaps she had already given up too much information tonight as well. However she still believed that was the correct decision, it allowed trust to be built between both parties. She will just have to bear and of the consequences that come along with the information that was divulged.
Well in the short term at least... She thought to herself, continuing the line of thought that she was communicating to her servant to herself.
Nonetheless tonight was a resounding success in her mind. She didn't need to waste any of her energy in skirmishes and had made more connections than she had hoped. And now she could enjoy a quiet stroll home with her servant. Perhaps they can go sightseeing another night.
Returning to the street where her residence and workshop had been arranged she noticed that the lights in the neighbouring houses were now off. Everyone must have went to bed. It was rather late now after all. But as she opened the door she kept in mind that she had just a few more things to do tonight. Perhaps if things went well she would even stay up to continue her work. She held the door open for Caster to enter first. A polite gesture to her companion.
"I will be only a moment Marguerite, I have a quick phone call to make." Now Lucienne spoke aloud. She was safe within her own workshop. Although it could do with some fortifying...
But for now she made her way into the living room on the bottom floor. She had requested for the house to be laid out so that the ground floor was to be a purely normal, residential, family setting while the first floor would act as her study and workshop. And of course now her servants too.
Lucienne dialed in the same number as she had before to reach her contact, this time in a lot less inexperienced manner. If anyone were to see her she would have seemed to be as used to the phone just as any other Parisian would have been... As it should have been already really but she couldn't help that she had grown up with a weakness to modern technology. If only her parents had exposed her to it a bit more.
"Ahem, Mademoiselle are you there??" The deep voice called out from the phone.
"Oh. Yes sorry about that Monsieur my mind had slipped off for a moment. I just had some requests to make of you if you would be so kind to hear them."She heard a reserved sigh from the other end.
"Well of course you have mademoiselle, after all why else would you have called me?""Wow. That is rather harsh no Monsieur? You are a good friend of my family!" She responded as if she had been hurt by the implication although she hadn't really denied it.
"Yes. Yes. I know. Now just say what it is you want." Lucienne grinned at the response.
"Well it's nothing too big... Well it is actually. If you are able then could you please try and get a hold of some... Err... Well how do I put this now..." She pondered the matter out loud over the phone.
"Mademoiselle your family has always been a unique friend of mine to say the least. Whatever it is just say and I shall try my best." "Ah yes, of course Monsieur. I knew that I just wished to be respectful. You see I would like you to transport some animals that have passed on so to say. Whether it be from a vet or a shelter anything works really." With permission from Monsieur Bogdanoff she began to speak rather matter of factly. She was generally rather careful with how she phrased things and wished to speak in a way that would not offend others. But now she was requesting something as a magus and so she just said what she had to.
"And along with that if you can get a hold of any gems or crystals then could you send them here as well Monsieur. My family will be very grateful for this." "No worries mademoiselle. I will see what I can do. If you will allow me I will get right to it."And with that the phone call ended. She would find out soon enough if Monsieur Bogdanoff had managed to achieve what she had asked but for now she would turn her attention to upstairs. With her servant.
"So... What should we make first eh Caster? Perhaps something to add a bit of Resistance to Magecraft? Or maybe something more offensive eh? If you will take me on as your student then I shall love to learn anything from you Teacher!" Enthusiastic she made her way upstairs. After all when disregarding the grail and the second ownership of Paris. This was a once and a lifetime opportunity in of itself.
