Children. He growled low and angrily and tensed to spring again, holding back only to see the reaction he would have to Tara's words.

Now he was laughing out loud.
"Never come back? Never come back, dear? This place will be repaired and restaffed in a week...and it's relatively cheap. I'll be back as soon as I can." he grinned, thoroughly amused..."Or were you trying to command me? My...not children, even. Veritable infants...so cute, too. Did you really think that would work? On me?"
"Simply, positively adorable...but, I must be on my way, dears."

She chuckled "Well, tuck tail and run then lordling." she hadn't been trying to command actually, anger just made it almost seep into her words. "We catch you here again, if it's repaired, we'll kill you."

He glared at the lord and said to Tara, "Can't we just kill him now? That's what this was supposed to be about anyways right?"

Chuckling, Nikodemus nodded his head, almost eagerly.
"He has a point, love...unless you're afraid to face me now, why delay things? I didn't get where I was today procrastinating...or by leaving bugs on my windshield. So come on..."

She sighed. It was....a bad thing to kill someone who coudl have been a pack father, but she had sworn.
She shrugged "If you wish to die lordling, I'll not say no."
She sank back into a crouch, entirely human, a powerful display of control in most cases, and smiled slightly.

Eunice bounded intot eh hallway where Tara and Nikodemus were sizingeach oher up. She flicked her tail in irritation. On one hand, he paid her. on hte other, htey were burning her place of employment down. In the end, her life became more important than her money. But she would wait until they attacked first.
If it never came to blows, which she knew it would, then attacking unprompted would be stupid.

He, on the other hand, wasn't quite as adept as controlling his shifts as she and was nearly fully changed as he growled again at Nicodemus. He turned quickly at the sound and scent of someone approaching and snarled at the newcomer. "Who are you?"

"The question, dear, is whether you want to..." he purred...before teasing, "A pity if you do, really...self-destruction is hardly a virtue. And I could add a pretty pet like you to the rest of those I keep at my mansion...a fine collar and good food, too. Better than you've ever had, no doubt."

"You couldn't hold me if you and your thralls tried" she sneered. "It's been tried"
Her finger tips slowly bled into claws and she nodded, guaging him.

"I don't bother forcing them...if you don't want the collar, why would I bother? There are plenty prettier and fiercer than you that would leap at the chance." he shrugged, grinning.
"There are those that know and opportunity...and those that must be done away with like the street-dreck that they are..." He yawned idly, his claws plain and out and he displayed himself almost defenselessly...a very thin veil for being perfectly ready to strike, of course.

Eunice made no sound, even when she was addressed. She had no idea how to introduce herself without drawing the attention of hte other weres.
While being able to turn into a lemurperson had its advantages, it was not the best form to pick if you're going to be fighting. It was better suited to murder. She shuddered at the thought, and hoped the others hadn't seen it.
Not the time to get a guilty conscience. She thought to herself.

"An hold of submissives? What a weak pack" she said with a chuckle. "Perhaps it is good nopne of your kind stayed in teh slums to lead...you'd have been torn to shreds"
The thought of anyone giving in, turning belly up, to such as him voluntarily set her teeth on edge, but she hadn't lived as long as she had by being stupid. She was patient.

He continued to glare at the new arrival then turned his ear as sounds erupted indicating the arrival of others. "Tara...I think we need to get going..." He whispered to her, not wanting to have to make her back down but knowing that anyone this blaze attracted would surely come after them first.

"Who said anything about pack?" Nikodemus chuckled. "They're slaves. And pets. The idea of gathering a pack is idiotic...every lycanthrope that you treat decently gets the idea that he's stronger than you, eventually. I should know, I slaughtered at least five pack-full in my rise to wealth."
"...but, in any case...yes, yes...run along, children."
