There was a slight crumble after the knocks and bricks in the wall to their right began to move aside revealing a spiral stairway downwards. There was a low growl from a cage near by as two eyes appeared watching the arrivals, the wolf within the cage walked impatiently back and forth until it sat down to watch them disappear.

In the end of the stairway awaited a wooden door and behind that Zelkhar saw in an expensive chair drinking wine or just enjoying himself much as he could as he waited.

Ava walked up the the wooden door, slightly skeptical of the place knowing that wolves were locked up in cages. If it was up to her she would have them running free, but then again that may cause some trouble in town.

Lips curled into a malicious grin at the thought as she walked behind Khaisan, wings outspread along the width of the hallway, until they reached the wooden door.

Rumour senses him entering her mind and lets him immerse himself in her alien identity. A smirk slides across her face as her inhuman emotions and thoughts invade his mind, but she protects what really matters behind a hidden barrier that even he cannot find. She continues to look back into his eyes, picking at his mind even as he does the same to her. When he breaks the gaze, her smirk becomes slightly wider, almost a wicked grin......

Still in his beggar costume and staying to the shadows, Denaris followed them in. He looked up the stairs, his keen eyesight spotting the tigerman at the very end.

Zelkhar at first pretended as, if he hadn`t realised that they had arrived, biut suddenly smirked at them and raised his goblet as they arrived into the room. All were there, excellent, thus his plans would be set in motion like a snowball going down a mountain so to speak.

"Welcome partners! Do have a seat and take whatever you think tastes good..."

He said to them still smirking as they arrived, there were some plates and bottles gathered on a table for quests to eat.

Ava's brow raised slightly at Zelkhar before taking her seat in one of the chairs, wings outspread to make herself comfortable.

Reaching over to the table she grabbed a glass and poured herself some red wine, sipping it before returning her crimson eyes to the host all the while wondereing what was about to happen.

(whatever.....to Luinnar)
Khaisan looked around at the table and grimanced. The only thing that could satsify a vampire's appetitee was blood and apparently the man hadn't thought of that. Until further inspection revealed that one of the bottles that Khaisan took for wine was actually rich blood. He took the bottle, poured the blood into a goblet and sipped it gently.

Rumour, still a wisp of shadow, floats to the top of the room and watches from above, viewing all below her. She doesn't trust the food and drink, nor does she trust the one who offers it......

(Pandora, what is your top banner of?..... I know it's Orlando, but from what movie?......)

As Khaisan sipped his blood, he cast a gaze around the food available. They were few in number but were delicacies that one could only find in a lord's table. Yet vampires had no lust for luxurious food. Only their cousins, werewolves, felt a desire to feed on meat. His mind wandered towards the wolves in the cages they had passed. He wondered why they were imprisoned liked so, when they could be helpful servants for him. They could be his daylight guardians, keeping his citadel free from intruders while he slumbered. He noticed the shapeshifter's form of smoke and his avoidance of the food and drink and wondered himself if the blood was possibly poisoned. Though vampires could not die from the poison, they could still feel the pains in the organs casued by the poison until it eventually died out.

Ava had wondered herself if the food and drink had anything tainted in it, but she could dectect none in the red wine and continued to sip it. Her pale fingers wrapped around the stem of the glass... she smiled when she felt another presence enter the room, a shadowed figure.

This was turning out to be one interesting group... pushing a strand of silver hair behind an ear she watched her host intently..

[its not from a movie... just a photo shoot of OB!]

Rumour senses the group's distrust towards her, or perhaps their question as to why she didn't come down and eat, which one, she couldn't tell. Her smoky visage turns to their 'patron', and she waits for his words.....
