Esabel didn't much care where they went as long as she got the chance to get warm. As Wulfric made a new portal... Okay, he made doorways, but at least his were more reliable than her portals. Anyway, she had full confidence that it would work.
When he stepped out carrying her, she noted the guards on the door and shook her head slightly, "Guards is new ones..." she said through chattering teeth as she shivered in his arms and did her best to snuggle into him more. Both guards were obviously demons but wearing formal wear, which was strange because one of them had purple skin that clashed with his dark pink suit.
The other guard stepped forward as they approached and held up a hand to bar their entrance to the club but Esabel glared at him, "Tell your boss that Esabel's here an' she's cold," she told him firmly. Of course the potential threat might have been better if she wasn't shivering with lips turning blue and looking like a half-drowned doll. The fact that they were both soaking should have been a hint that they needed help, not problems... |

If you aren't having the Grandest of times
Tenran
Wulfric Von Shadowfang
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Club was quiet, few were there since it had yet to open for the day, the owner relaxing in his office’s personal hot tub as he enjoyed the soothing water, for a demon Lord even he needed to be pampered from time to time. Though little did he know that his peace and quiet would swiftly be interrupted.
The demon shook his head “no can do pipsqueak” he looked at both of them and continued “we most certainly are not letting you in soak n wet and most certainly would not let you in without the correct attire wet or not, besides that the clubs closed so hit the road chums before we send you packing” the other demon stepped forward as if to prove their point, the one closest to them stepped forward and shoved Wulfric slight causing him to take a few steps back. Wulfric was in no mood at this point and being shoved only angered him even more, when his eyes changed the demon in front of him laughed “Look he’s getting angry I believe he’s looking for a fight” the other demon laughed as well and stepped forward again “I believe your right let’s put him in his place” Wulfric put Esabel down and turned immediately, not long after he howled almost instantly the ring on his finger came to life and changed into the armor Esabel had gifted him so long ago, the sight of him gave both demons a reason to hesitate, his growl causing the one closest to him to back off slightly “what a dog, go get the boss I’ll take care of this mangy mutt” the demon in the pink suit darted off into the club while the one standing in front of Wulfric charged him with his fists, Wulfric barked as he rushed forward the Demon swinging at him as he rushed forward. Wulfric shifted slightly which forced the demon’s fist to hit his chest plate with great force causing the demon to reel in pain, taking advantage Wulfric grabbed the demons wrist, his metal claws digging into his flesh as he pressed forward while he pulled him down, his mouth opened as he used the momentum to go for his throat and caught him precisely where he wanted him, Wulfric’s momentum and his grip at the demons throat brought the demon down swiftly, and while he didn’t die initially the demon was struggling to breathe as Wulfric slowly tightened his grip on his throat, blood starting to appear as his teeth started breaking skin. “ENOUGH!!!” Tenran sporting a fine suit stood there cane in hand as he regarded Wulfric who was at his bouncers throat quite literately and briefly looked at Esabel and sighed as he put his face in his hand, Tenran was slightly annoyed at being interrupted during his leisure time in the hot tub and eventually regained his composure “well Wolf if you’d be so kind as to let him go relatively alive I’ll be most appreciative, you know how hard it is to find good help these days. I tell you what” he looked at Esabel “you behave and I’ll let you in this time, after all it just won’t do to have you both soaking wet, just won’t do at all” He looked back at Wulfric who was still growling at this point and somewhat reluctant to let go, it became obvious that Esabel was going to have to intervene if they were going to remain on Tenrans good graces.

Wulfric Von Shadowfang
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tenran breathed a sigh of relief when Wulfric released his Bouncer and just shook his head slightly as he regarded that same bouncer for picking a fight with a Wolf and was left gasping for air and coughing hard as the other bouncer moved over to help him. Wulfric Picked up Esabel who would feel a bit better being close to him with his fur, though it was obvious he was going to have to find some new clothes before he changed again. Tenran turned his attention towards Esabel and Wulfric and noted that something was amiss with her but didn’t press the matter for the moment, he put on a smile and ushered Wulfric and Esabel into the club looking at the bouncers once last time before going in himself.
Tenran started walking towards the other side of the main floor towards some doors all the while humming a tune that was rather popular in his club as of late, though eventually he stopped and watched with mild amusement as Wulfric walked over to him his heavy footfalls making muffled noises as he walked across the main floor his eyes semi-focused on Esabel and on Tenran. Tenran Eventually brought them to the top floor of his club and tapped his cane on the floor, almost immediately a couple of staff members appeared from a couple of doors and stopped in front and bowed slightly “would you please have towels and a pair of clothes brought to my office for my guests also have a fresh batch of hot water brought to the tub in my office as I’m sure they are going to need it.” He gestured over his shoulder which in turn the two staff members peered around each side of Tenran and were surprised by the presence of Wulfric and Esabel, though mostly Wulfric and just looked at Tenran with concern who in turn sighed “relax he doesn’t stay like that all the time you moron’s regular clothes that are set aside for the bloodletters delight will be sufficient" they nodded at once and darted off down the hallway to a door and disappeared. Wulfric couldn’t help but get the impression there was more to this place than he realized.
Tenran turned around slightly and regarded Wulfric and Esabel with slight concern on his face “right I imagine you will be wanting to go somewhere warm follow me” at that Tenran led them rest of the way to his office and brought them in without delay, once inside the office was much larger than Wulfric was expecting, almost a rather large bedroom with a sizeable area for a desk and chairs, one wall had a few windows that looked out onto the floor, Tenran simply walked over to the hot tub which was situated to the right of the windows which was being refilled by another staff member who only stopped to bow before she continued, before long the tub was filled and she left without saying a word. Tenran turned around at this point but before he could say anything the two who he had ordered had entered with the clothes that while not formal nor what Wulfric or esabel would wear normally would at least get them out of wet clothes or at least Esabel. Before they left one of them stopped and turned around “Mi’lord” tenran regarded the one standing there and nodded “what is it?” the staff member bowed slightly and replied “is there anything you require?” Tenran smiled and replied, “yes, please have a tray brought up with tea and something to eat, we’ll be dining here for a while” “of course mi’lord I shall have those brought up from the kitchen” at that the staff members left finally leaving Tenran with Wulfric and Esabel.
Tenran walked over to a chair and sat down and just looked at Wulfric “don’t let me get in the way Wolf I’m sure you both need to warm up so please feel free to use the hot tub it is perhaps a little small for you as you are now but I’m sure that will not be much of an issue” though in truth he was probably going to have it ripped out afterwards since it would likely smell of wet dog and that would ruin everything for him, but if anything it gave him the excuse he needed to have a party size hot tub to be installed so it wasn’t all bad.
Wulfric looked at Esabel when she sneezed and stepped forward and got into the hot tub without delay he didn’t bother taking Esabel’s clothes off yet since he simply wanted to warm her up. As Wulfric calmed down he eventually changed back to normal and looked at Tenran “thank you for the assistance” tenran held his smile and replied, “think nothing of it, though may I ask why you showed up at my club soak n wet?” Wuflric nodded as he helped take Esabels clothes off and simply tossed them aside “we had a run of bad luck with a portal that sent us to the middle of Lake Lacrima” Tenran shook his head and replied “indeed, well you are lucky to have made it here considering, and it is a good thing I decided to help otherwise you both might have had it even worse than you are now, those waters are rather the coldest even on the warmest of days as I’m sure you are well aware so falling into those waters was definitely bad luck, but rest assured you will be treated well here and whatever I can to help her with whatever is wrong with her as well” at this point Wulfric looked at Esabel with concern as to what he meant, before he could inquire though the staff member from earlier returned with a tray of tea and some plates with hot food on them and set them on a table off to the side before bowing and then leaving, Tenran continued to sit there as he simply watched Wulfric and Esabel with great interest.

Eventually, Esabel could speak without the risk of biting her tongue, meaning her shivering slowed then finally stopped. But she did toss a frowning glare at Tenran for spilling the proverbial beans then gave Wulfric an apologetic look. Thankfully, her explanation was delayed by food showing up and Wulfric stripping her wet clothes off.
But, she knew she would finally have to come clean, "The guards at the prison don't like Esabel playing when Puppy isn't home, no matter what Lily says about it. Because Lily's makin' peace with them Sandman peoples, Esabel can't go play there. With Gurzy dead, Esabel can't go there 'cause Gurzy's wife might not like me too much. An' Esabel's been banned from Hell's Cradle..." she started with that and hoped that he'd get the idea but knew she'd have to be a bit more clear, even though she didn't want to....
"Esabel can't go too long without ''playing' or Esabel gets the shakes," she added and held up one of her hands to show him how bad her hands were actually shaking. While her time spent with Wulfric in the bedroom and in the chains in her room helped, it really only put off the inevitable.
Goh had once described her as his most flawed model and while he had a point, he'd created her specifically with those flaws in place deliberately. But most of all, he'd fully intended for her to be even more psychotic than he was and had built in one specific flaw that weakened her if she didn't inflict major damage on another person within a limited amount of time...
For Goh, her insanity was just an inconvenient side effect... |

Tenran listened with intent as Esabel explained what was going on and he laughed with glee “So you are the troublemaker of Hell’s Cradle well that explains a fair few things” Wulfric looked at him curiously “what do you mean?” Tenran still holding his smile replied “well she’s a toy of a sorts one that can’t go without having a bit of fun shall we say and causing as much damage as possible in the process” Tenran paused at that point and stood up to go over to the table and poured himself a cup of tea and turned around to look at them “she’s what we call a bloodletter, as odd as it sounds there are tons of them about in the demon realms, Hell’s Cradle usually leaves that kind of crazy locked up behind the gate so as to keep it shall we say in house, The Demon Council tolerates them while in the realm since it is apart of their wellbeing. Quite intriguing that that scumbag would create one out here in the human realm, but since he’s dead he got what was coming to him in the end” tenran laughed slightly before he continued “I must remember to log that away so that the Demon Council will be aware of that change as I’m sure they’ll be quite pleased to hear that a lunatic like him was finally put down” he paused again to take a drink of the tea and enjoyed the flavor greatly before he leaned up against the table and continued “I must say I had started to wonder how you two fit in, now it makes sense” using the cup he pointed in Wulfric’s direction and continued “you are the one who keeps her in check and helps with her problem, though by your expressions you hadn’t told him about that little part.” Pausing once again to take a drink of the tea he walked back over to the chair and sat down again. “But fear not your problem is in good hands, as it stands you have the pleasure of being in the presence of a Demon Lord who specializes in lustful desires, and while I’ll not be offering my hide up to be flayed, it so happens that this club caters to those with particular wants and desires, in fact as it is now the most popular thing I have available just so happens to be the bloodletters delight, which is just as it sounds pleasure mixed with pain, and while it is usually utilized by demons who seek such things I see no reason why you two wouldn’t be able to participate in the in the fun” When Tenran had finished Wulfric looked at him with uncertainty “may I ask why?” Tenran couldn’t help but smile and stood up suddenly his hands going out the tea in his cup flying across the room “because I am Tenran, Demon Lord of Lust and I Believe that if you aren’t having the grandest of time you are having the worst of time and that good sir will not do” snapping his finger a staff member came in and looked very confused “Prepare Chamber four for our guests they are going to need it and also have a subject assigned for flaying, I would suggest one that is not going to break quickly, bring out one of the traitorous legionnaires, they’ll be plenty strong and will suit their needs perfectly” The staff member bowed and left the room, Tenran walked back over to the table to pour another cup of tea and decided to sit at the table this time and not spill his tea and smiled, he took a sip of his tea and then spoke once more “for now relax you are in good company and you most certainly will want to enjoy what my club has to offer for a meal, afterwards when you are plenty ready one of my staff members will escort you directly to the bloodletters delight section of the club so that you may carve or do whatever you please to your hearts content, and don’t worry about the individual, he or she was already sentenced to death so there is little consequence as to whether or not they end up as a corpse as if they don’t succumb to death this time they’ll just be put back into circulation until they do die.”
Wulfric wasn’t sure what to say but he wasn’t going to say no if it meant Esabel could be helped, though one thing bugged him and he looked back at Tenran “what do you want in return” a smirk appeared on tenran’s face and replied “absolutely nothing, to be honest I’m quite intrigued how a Wolf and whatever she is became a mated pair, and that is enough to satisfy my interests” Wulfric suddenly realized that they were brandishing the marks that told the world that they were mates and simply nodded but before he could say anything tenran lifted a finger “not now Wolf, that is a tale to be told afterwards after all your story is but payment for using my facilities and will not have it until after you are satisfied” Wulfric nodded again and simply turned his attention back to Esabel to see how she was doing.

Esabel bit her thumb a moment then knew she was going to have to give something else, "Ummm.... Tenny? Don't send that message yet... Cause Master isn't as dead as he's supposed to be.... His followers went an' resurrected him an' he kinda made another sister for Esabel and Ilea, though she's not as nice," she told him, knowing that if he told the Demonic Council that Goh was dead and he wasn't, well, they wouldn't be too happy about that...
One of the few things that was actually useful about Esabel was that she had alot of information on alot of different subjects and people. It was getting the information out of her that was the problem with it.
It didn't hurt anything for her to tell Tenran that Goh wasn't dead. And who knew what else she knew that would be useful?
While she was still shaky, she wasn't shivering anymore. So she let Wulfric help her out of the tub and didn't protest it when he used the plush towel to dry her off. She only protested the clothes on offer...
One, the clothes were either brown or dark red so blood wouldn't show. Two, they were both skirts. Three... Well, three dated back to Goh. He preferred her wearing what she called 'fancy' clothes, and she now hated them.
But she knew that there wasn't much choice in the matter and let Wulfric pick the clothes for her and put them on anyway. Thankfully, the heels didn't fit, so she got to go barefoot.
She sat down at the table and took a fluffy roll that she took great delight in tearing apart as she nibbled at it. The tea was fine. Besides, she thought that Wulfric would make short work of the rest of the meal. As he sat down and started to eat, she looked at Tenran with a tilt of her head and thought hard on what he might actually need. So her next question shouldn't have surprised him that much...
"You's got any contracts?" she asked him almost casually, wondering if she had anything that might actually put them in the profit instead of in debt... |

Tenran was a little disheartened that Goh was still alive but he wouldn't let that put a damper on his happy mood. Tenran chuckled and replied “Mercenaries eh?” he gave them a questioning look before he snapped his finger though instead of a staff member showing up a puff of smoke appeared and revealed a rather large book, at a glance it didn’t appear to be much but the words on the book gave Wulfric a puzzled look, tenran saw his expression and spoke up “this is the daemonicus Archivist, and I am its keeper. This book is always cataloging things that have happened, as well as things that need to happen” Tenran stopped at that point and opened it up, the pages instantly flittered across at deafening speeds until they stopped at a particular page. Tenran poured over the page for a moment but shook his head slightly as he started flipping pages. Finally he found a what he was looking for and looked up from the book “well it so happens today is your lucky day, not very often that the Demon Council logs in contracts that need doing, as it happens this is a interesting contract that will pay well and is relatively easy to accomplish even for you two” Wulfric was curious at this point, ever since he’d taken the job to watch over Esabel and eventually became her mate he hadn’t taken to many jobs outside of the occasional one the Re needed done but even then those weren’t up to the level he was used to doing. Finally, Wulfric spoke up “what is the contract?” ginning tenran replied “a simple retrieval of lost property, the lord that put in the request is… hmm interesting” Tenran had to flip another page to verify the information but eventually continued “it seems the Lord who put in the request is one of the legion commanders, apparently he had created an Infiltrator who suddenly went missing while on mission, how embarrassing, to say the least.” Wulfric looked at Esabel and saw she was still nibbling on a roll so he turned his focus back to Tenran and inquired “what kind of infiltrator?” Tenran flipped another page and replied “a Demon Snake, interesting they are the best at infiltration operations, to clarify the Demon legions utilize infiltrators like this to recon areas and in some cases perform assassinations, this particular one is called… well I’ll simplify it as it is unlikely you’ll understand demon tongue, she is known as Regina Thorne, this particular demon had left for a mission and failed to return, considering this lord is offering a large price to have this one returned dead or alive only suggest that the mission was never completed or this particular individual became a deserter, I’m leaning on deserter considering the price is two hundred thousand souls, which translated would be close to thirty-five thousand here in the human realm. Simple for the cost, well usually anyway tracking an infiltrator will prove difficult since they are masters at darkness magic, they blend into the shadows and can utilize the shadows to move long distance very quickly, quite a feat wouldn’t you agree?” Wulfric nodded in agreement but didn’t say anything since that name sounded vaguely familiar but he couldn’t put his finger on where he’d heard that name.
Tenran watched Wulfric with great interest to see if he could figure out what he was thinking, but to his dismay Wulfric was very used to taking jobs and was extremely hard to tell what he was thinking so he gave up trying and simply inquired on his intentions “so will this job suffice or would you like a job that” he paused a smirk formed on his face “holds your hand? After all demon snakes are among the hardest to track when they don’t want to be found” Wulfric shook his head “no we’ll take it we’ll have no problem doing the job, what is the timeframe for delivery and where are we to deliver the target?” Tenran slammed the book shut and replied “no timeframe, take as long as needed to find the target and you may bring her here, since you can’t go through the gate in Hell’s Cradle it will be easier to have me do so since I know who is looking for this snake and will be easy for me to simply put a restraining collar on her and bring her to her master.” While Wulfric didn’t show it he was very uneasy about this job as he seemed to remember a snake during their incursion to save Esabel, which only would reasonably believe that was the target.

But Esabel shook her head, "Nope. We take that one an' Lucy'll REALLY be mad at Esabel. Nope. Tell that idiot he can go after Regina himself an' only if he wants worse than death," she stated firmly. She'd been doing alot of messing around with the Blade's base while Wulfric was gone.
"Pick somethin' else. Somethin' more personal. Esabel wants in the black with you, not the council meanies," she clarified for him. After all, she was banned from Hell's Cradle. Permanently. Why would she want to go help them out?
She rubbed a hand on her thigh over the scar she carried from the magical dagger and considered that day then shook her head again, "Not Regina... Esabel owes her," she added in a softer tone, her hand still rubbing over that scar. Even now, after all the 'healing' sessions she and Wulfric had done, it was still red and hurt from time to time. She'd only barely escaped death that day and felt that she owed all of them for that day...
Of course, she basically admitted that she knew exactly where Regina was, but also said that she wasn't going to give her up. |

Wulfric was more relieved to hear Esabel say that than the prospects of hunting Regina, Esabel having confirmed that that was indeed the target made him even more uneasy and was sure he would have to have a chat with her soon to warn her of the contract that was put out on her head. Tenran grinned a bit more but shrugged “very well if this particular contract is not what you desire then who am I to say otherwise.” Tenran opened the book up but didn’t do anything with it and simply spoke up “Garos!” immediately after a Demon in a Butler’s uniform appeared from out of the shadows and bowed “Yes Mi’lord?” “is the List of interests current?” the butler responded “Yes mi’lord, in fact new potential buys have become available that were recently added just yesterday” tenran smiled at the prospects of having new investments and replied “very good you may leave” Garos bowed again and returned to the shadows. Tenran’s interests peeked even more and he quickly moved the pages to a list that for all accounts was a private list of his and looked through the new potential investments. After a while he spoke up “I don’t suppose you know much about family contracts?” Wulfric shook his head and replied, “not particularly what are they?” Tenran’s eyes looked at Wulfric and replied “well simply put they are contracts that usually involve souls, I’ve had a strong fascination for a particular breed of individual, and that’s what we demons call hybrids, but these aren’t just any ordinary hybrid like yourself but rather a demon hybrid, they take on many forms, but in the end they are perhaps the most intriguing, it seems there is indeed a new potential that has my eye, or rather two of them though one has for years alluded me considering this particular one is not bound by any particular family contract and is for the most part free to do whatever he or she desires, though the other is perhaps easier to acquire than the other. At least it appears to be anyway, whether or not that is indeed the case is to be determined.” Wulfric couldn’t help but wonder what Tenran had in mind but decided to remain quiet until the information was provided.
Tenran started flipping through the pages in search of the contract that had his eye and eventually found the contract information “How interesting it seems the mark in question is up in the air as the former master has by all accounts turned up missing presumably dead” Tenran paused as someone opened the door and walked through, an individual in a cloak stepped over to Tenran and whispered in his ear before handing him a piece of paper and bowed slightly before leaving. Tenran’s smile grew even larger as he looked at the paper “speaking of Infiltrator it seems mine has finally located the mark that has alluded me for years and seems to be in a prison cell well she’ll be mine before long. But as I was saying” he put the paper in the book and continued “it seems the mark I would like you to acquire for me recently lost his master and is in need of a new home, this is particularly of great interest for me since the contract is purchasable by anyone with the souls to spend so this is a time sensitive contract I’m offering you” Wulfric looked at Esabel who seemed a bit more pleased with this, at least for the moment so he spoke up “who is the target and what’s the target worth to you?” Tenran chuckled and replied “well I’ll get the price tag out of the way this mark is worth quite a bit to me so I’ll tell you what you get me this mark and your visit and any future visits to the bloodletters Delight will be free of charge, and I’ll even throw in a little extra just for delivering the target to me personally. As for who well whether or not this is accurate remains to be seen but it seems a hybrid called kam I believe his name is was sold by his family ages ago and his whereabouts are currently unknown, for me it is one thing to claim a family contract and simply have it in hand but it is entirely another story completely if there is no soul behind this contract, so bring me the mark alive or if nothing else bring me something that shows what might have become of him so that if he should be found not alive I can take him off the list and move on to better things, like seeing the one who is in a cell right now… though now that I think about it I may do that anyway while you are out looking for my mark.” Admittedly Wulfric wasn’t sure who that was and would no doubt have to have a chat with a few info brokers just to get a shred of information. Looking over at Esabel he had to wonder if she’d agree to this one but considering there were few options it was hard to say, Tenran finally spoke up “so what do you say little lady does that interest you, or should I look elsewhere and find a job a child can do” being somewhat sarcastic at this point Tenran sat back in his chair the book in his lap and simply waited for their response to his offer.

Esabel gave a nod and a very pleased smile over that one, "Esabel can bring you Kammy, yes. An' if'n it's the family Esabel thinks it is, then the girl is easy to get within a time limit. So's you ain't got long. Just leave her brother alone. He's Mated," she told him simply and proved to Wulfric that she'd been a busy insane bee while he'd been gone.
She finished her roll then finished off her tea and offered her cup for a refill, "Oh, yeah! One other thing 'bout Kammy. After we bring him to you, you'll have to deal with Gurzy's wife over him. She'll probably understand 'bout contracts, but might do better if you got someone to drop on her that's a throw-away to make her happy," she added, though if he understood that bit, he was better at understanding her than he'd indicated so far.
"One more cup o' tea then we go play, then we go get Kammy. Deal?" she finished, knowing that one of them had to have a question or two by now. After all, she'd indicated that she knew more than Tenran's little spy did.... So anything dangerous about getting to Blade, she would definitely know about....
As she lifted her cup to take a sip, she frowned as her hand shook hard enough that she had to use both hands to keep it steady enough to keep from burning herself. She didn't like how unsteady her hands were but knew that worse was on the way if she pushed it more than three hours... |

Esabel slowly sipped at her tea but finally knew she had to set the cup down and crawled into Wulf's lap and cuddled into him a bit. She knew he'd be able to feel he shaking that she was hiding but trusted him to help her not look too weak right now.
There was something about his scent that somehow made everything seem better for her, as if nothing could go wrong as long as she could smell his scent. Which was art of why she'd taken to wearing one of his shirts to sleep in despite the fact that she usually slept in nothing but the sheets...
"Blade? Oh, that's something Esabel's sure you can fix, Tenny... Gurzy went an' tortured her for a while until he managed to trap her in human form with the mind of her cat in charge and made that part homicidal insane. Basically, she's good for killing right now. He used pain to train her, but maybe you gots something else to use to fix her," she explained it all as if it was an afterthought and really didn't matter much, though it was far from that.
All Wulf had to do was remember her condition when he'd taken the contract to get her in the first place and he'd have a good starting point to figure out what all Gurzil had done to Blade.
"Basically, she's supposed to kill Morrigan's sister and Blade's brother, Wind. She got Bethany, but Wind's still alive.Oh! And you might wanna keep her and Kammy separate for a while since he was the one that gave her to Gurzy," she added then snuggled into Wulf's neck a bit more.
"Amazin' what you hear when people's don't know you're there..." she whispered softly and even nipped at Wulf's neck sharply just to tease him for the hell of it... |

Into the fires of battle!
Wuflric Von Shadowfang
Tenran
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tenran watched as Esabel snuggled into Wulfric, he could tell that their bond was a very close one, and if anything he was beginning to understand how they became a mated pair, just from how they acted around each other for the short time he’d been around them he could tell that the Wolf was calm and reserved though more serious and a bit straightforward, while she was wild, to a certain degree he suspected unbalanced, after all she was created with flaws that made her, overall his assessment of the two sitting before him were of complete opposites coming together to find balance, to say he wasn’t a bit jealous was an understatement, they were complete opposites and yet they fit each other perfectly.
He heard all he needed to hear this girl Blade was also unbalanced perhaps a bit broken but nothing that couldn’t be helped given time, perhaps this blade was his opposite, he’d never been one to pair up after all his interests were that she was a hybrid but perhaps she was more to him than that. Well it was no matter he would simply have to see for himself as to what condition she was in fully and what he could do to bring her back or if nothing else at least rebalance her to some level of normalcy. Eventually Tenran smiled and surprised Wulfric by his sudden informal statement “you know, it’s amazing how well you two fit, in all my years I have never seen a perfect match as I see right now, I believe I understand you a bit more than I did before, though I would love to hear how you became mates perhaps someday” Wulfric looked at him his expression showed he was sincere about what he said. Wulfric looked at Esabel when she nipped at his neck trying to get his attention ever more clearly showing signs that she was ready to go down and just looked back up at Tenran and responded “perhaps, I once stood alone as a mercenary with a desire to keep running from my past, until she came into my life first as a job and then as my mate, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’d be lost without her now as interesting as things get while I’m with her it doesn’t bother me, to say the least, she’s all I have in this world which is the most valuable thing I have in my possession.” No doubt Esabel would have fun with what he said but he spoke what came from the heart and tenran smiled when he did so willingly. Tenran stood up from the table and looked at Esabel before he looked back at Wulfric and replied: “as honest as one can get good sir and I appreciate that honesty, I must prepare to leave but before I do may I ask your names?” Wulfric smiled and replied “My Name is Wulfric Von Shadowfang and this is Esabel if you didn’t figure it out from the way she talks” Tenran bowed slightly and replied “well met Wulfric for finding a prize worth cherishing, I must leave now I have a mark to acquire and a contract to purchase, stay for as long as you desire my staff will tend to your needs until you are ready to leave this club, do not worry about being disturbed by club patrons as the club is not due to open for sometime so you will have the room in the bloodletters delight all to yourself” Wulfric smiled and replied “thank you again for the assistance” Tenran smiled as he stood straight and replied “think nothing of it if anything I should be thanking you for assisting me in claiming a few marks” at that Tenran left his office leaving Wulfric and Esabel alone, in the hallway tenran made sure a staff member was posted by the door so that they would get the assistance they might require and were given specific instructions to be treated as special VIPs, to which the staff knew what to do and watched as Tenran went downstairs and left to go after his mark in prison since she was the biggest priority right now.
With Tenran gone Wulfric looked down at Esabel and gave her a kiss on the forehead before hugging her and keeping her close, after a while he spoke up as even though she was not shaking as much as she was before he could still tell she had the shakes and was about time to have that taken care of. Evenutally Wulfric finally spoke up “ready to have a bit of fun downstairs?” he knew she would perk up but what sealed the deal was when he moved his hand to her chin and lifted her head up slightly and gave her a loving kiss on the lips knowing full well that she would be ready for just about anything having done that.
