Brian was not in the best of moods and this definitely was not one of his best days. The search for Charlotte had ended as she was found in the Inn and looked to have been sent through the wringer. To top that off, the first person Brian ran into in the Inn was Renna. Of course that resulted in yet another altercation and Renna learning just how hard a tankard to the head truly was and just how bad it hurt. Then Charlotte's revelations concerning Tetronus and his attack on her and the possibility that the German had possibly begun something new and Charna might be involved. Brian had quite a bit to think about as he escorted Charlotte to the Villa. As they left the Inn together and headed to the Villa, Brian made a mental note to send word to Jewell as soon as possible, as this might involved people she was more familiar with.
Opening the door to the Villa, Brian moved aside the doorway and invited Charlotte inside. Closing the door he smiled, as he saw Jean-Luc pad on over from the kitchen area. "He wont bother you, but he will keep an eye on you if you like." Brian said as he patted the large cat on the head gently. "But first he needs to see my sister." as Brian tucked a note inside a small pouch attached to the large cats collar. The Moor Cat emitted a low growl, as he moved out the front door and into the night and eventually to Jewell's home. Brian closed the door and waved his hand over a small rune etched into the wall just next to the door jam. The run glowed a faint blue, and he nodded to himself and turned to Charlotte. "It's a proximity ward, to prevent anyone from surprising us. It'll be fine. You can pick any of the spare rooms you like, they are all furnished and should have fresh linens and also I recently stocked the kitchen. So please make yourself at home." He moved from the foyer and into living room and took a knee to the heart and tended the fire. "Also I have an office you can use if you like or a small reading room that is also furnished with a desk and stationary and the such. Truth be told I don't use it much, I had bought it for Ka.. Well it was a while ago. Anyways, my house if yer house and all that stuff. Feel free to explore." Brian looked to his arm once more and noticed the dried blood and the cuts along his hand and forearm courtesy of the tankard shot to Renna's head. Flexing his hand a moment as he rose to his feet, his eyes moved to Charlotte and he faintly smiled. "Looks like we both had a bang up week, eh?"
"I know you're gonna need to go back to your place to get your belongings, I'll go with you if you like. I also have a key for you as well, and I have horses in the stable and of course Jean. I'm gonna go and clean up and get a better look at my hand. Just a.. Do whatever ya want, the guest restroom is free as well and I should have some bandages and other stuff in there as well. " Brian headed down the hall into the weapons room and through there to the office. He paced a few moments and took in what Charlotte had relayed about Varick.
"I think Varick did something bad again..."
"I can try to find out more."
He hated the fact she might put herself in harms way, but it may have to be done. Brian would wait until he had heard from Jewell on the subject. With the wedding and everything else going on, who knows what was next. He didn't have much information on the German, save what he dug up and what his contacts told him. He was definitely hiding something, especially the way he handled Emma. Brian was determined to be prepared none the less. Brian hoped that Charna hadn't gotten mixed up with Varick. If that were the case it wouldn't end well by any means. Brian's thoughts moved to Charlotte and her situation as well, which by all means would require his attention also. He pondered what scared her so badly and why she wouldn't fully confide in him. There was also Tetronus and his actions and then Renna. He set the latter two aside and decided Charlotte, the German and Charna took priority. Forcing another smile, he heade dbackto the living room to speak with Charlotte and with any luck Jean-Luc would be back soon enough.
