It was night, who knew what time it was because all he knew, all he ever knew was the dark. Well this was less then accurate. Darius knew a great deal of his surroundings and he could sense disturbances from afar. And this house was very, disturbing. Darius was a strangely imposing figure at night, he was pale but not so much as to be a ghost of any kind. His clothing was pretty average but something about his appearance that was entrancing over all.

Darius stopped at the front door of the place that had obviously seen better days, not really caring about the exterior though he had come for other, more important of a task. He then knocked on the door, three times. His blue eyes seemed to see through the door, through the entire house.

He waited for an answer to his summons.

The door opened, and he saw a woman, he looked her up and down but did not move his eyes, or make any kind of sign he did so. But he was not one to be lost for words in front of any person.

"Doing for me, nothing at all." He said as a smile then came up upon his face. "Rather it is what I can be doing for you. The word around town is that you have been, suffering as of late. I represent the whole of the Crimson Rose Order." His voice was smooth and calming, but it wasn't like a salesman pitch or somebody who was making promises. It actually sounded sincere.

"My name is Darius, and its a pleasure to finally meet you face to face." With that same calming voice, the man stood at the threshold not breaking eye contact with those blue eyes of his, not even a waiver.

"Tea, delightful." He smiled not at the suggestion, but more along the lines of the invitation. Once invited he could come and go as he pleased but some information just needed to be kept to himself, thinking it and knowing it were two different things, so he didn't even think it as he stepped inside. He was silent, unnaturally so.

"Rachel, my sources tell me some disturbing things of the present time, not to mention that debt accumulated by this....house...has put you on the so called authority's list to reclaim what they think is theirs. Disturbing I know but they have very effective methods." He paused a moment. "I am here on the behalf of my organization to try and prevent this. The order is dedicated to preventing sorrows of all kinds." He then reached into his jacket and pulled out an envelope and handed it to her. and waited for her to take it.

"Well, it is customary to have conversations over tea, is it not. We can continue this with drinks in hand."

Despite his warning and news he brought, he seemed to be comforting and calm, was it training or something else. This Darius seemed to be a man of many talents indeed.

He just nodded to her words as she said them. Yes, there was information he had, and yes there was much he had to tell. Tea would be perfect. "I sense a bit of anxiousness in the air, it could be the house itself, or something more immediate and closer." He said this as he looked around the place, as if appraising the value of the place.

Being somewhat of an expert at body language, he figured everything was going exactly as planned. Who wouldn't be somewhat nervous at a stranger with bad news in the night, unexpected no less. "Tea would be perfect."

"We have much to talk about, or very little depending on how the conversation goes." He said turning his head towards her. Nothing in his voice screamed danger, but perhaps that in itself was worrysome.

"Their notices come in the form of men in black who knock on your door in the middle of the night. They inform you that you are in violation of the Codex Financial Agreement then they proceed to "Reclaim" things. These people have been at work in Rhydin for the past few months and preying on the defenseless, but they are working their way up the ladder." He eyed the red tea then continued.

"I come here as a warning that in order for this to be prevented me, and you and others need to work together to form an organization. I am simply here to invite you to the meeting. You need not bring Gabe, my people have reasons to believe that he is working for this nefarious organization." He sighed them. "Before you deny and defend him allow us to show you the information we have gathered back at the temple, I know there are cameras here but this device here allows a jamming signal to keep this room we are in invisible, and silent." He pulled a small box out of his pocket. Darius was obviously well informed and prepared for his visit, then put it back.

"What you do from here is up to you. But chances are this Organization is looking for another stronghold in Rhydin, and this would be perfect for it. Mr. Ashlocke has been seen in many raids, and we also believe he is building "Work camps" for the people who are taken away..children and adults alike, we haven't found these camps yet though. The secret is kept for now, but the people are not heard from again is a true fact."

His voice was deadly serious, but there was no sign of trying to incite fear or terror, but just trying to be informative of the situation at hand that was developing right under her nose.

"I know time is short, and staying here for along time may not be advisable for me because of the situation and attention it might bring up. Read the invitation and I will know if you accepted it you show up at the temple or not, easy as that."

Then Darius looked towards the door and contemplated leaving soon."I know you have questions. All will be answered at the temple, and remember. I was never here." Then he looked back at her and smiled. "I will hope to see you soon?"
