She stood outside the gallery, alone. Mists and spectors clung to her figure, shielding it from natural vision. Dalia had cleaned herself up for this visit; she was well dressed and coiffed, nails recently manicured. New clothes draped her recently slimmed figure, they cloaked her in that new clothes smell.

She watched the lights in the home, sniffing out the scent of various beings and races in the building. It seems Valentine had been a busy girl. She had a full house tonight, were they ALL her lovers? Or just some?

Desiring that which had escaped her before, Dalia circled the building, plotting her confrontation with the lovely Miss De'laCroix. The vampiress would be hers. She would be her new pet and plaything as well as her new assistant and student. Mara had been such a disappointment.

She had recently found that other young human that had escaped her brother as well as herself; Veronica Wolfe. The girl would be no further trouble.

She froze in the midst of cooking (yes, she was cooking), and stared out the window of her kitchen. She could see the yard clearly, as she was cooking in the dark. She could see well, so why bother with light? It had creeped poor Lyric out, she had abandoned her post at the counter, mumblng something out "creepin' her the f*ck out, chopping veggies in the dark." Val had ignored it and gone on with her work; the meal was for Lyric and her mother, anyway.

She paused mid-stir, hand poised above the wok. She knew someone was out there, she could hear their sinister thoughts just brushing against her mind. It was disturbing, but none of her senses told her that they were in danger. Whoever it was, was keeping thier distance. For now.

She finished off the veggie stir-fry and plated it, carrying the tray laden with nectre, soda, and veggies and rice down the hall to the fae women in her household. She pauses outside Lyric's door, kicked it to be heard over the blaring radio, and headed for the seldom used dining room.

Once there, her mind finally recognized the scent she picked up from Lyric's room. Male. That girl had a boy in there!!
