Thread: Mykhaila's Morsel's

Writing Sample Now that she was settled within the council chambers, leaning back in an almost careless stance, Darby allowed her gaze to trail over the other members. In the short time in which she had become part of the leading council, she had yet to truly get to know any of the others. She did know to be cautious, to remain relatively detached from all those gathered. She had been informed of the centuries of trial among varied kinds and had rolled her eyes at the mention of racist reactions among the types of preternatural creatures that made up the council and the world they protected. It really hadnt surprised her that there would be prejudices against the varied groups. The fact that she had come smack dab in the middle of a point where even the council appeared to be partially broken apart because of such issues didnt pass her by. She could see it clearly. Hell, she could feel it. It seemed rather annoying to her that people who could not change what they were would be so willing to hate or distrust others for what they could not change either. Of course, that didnt keep her from feeling her own enmity toward some but it wasnt something that felt as though it was inbred into the cat within her, more that she could not keep the feeling from being there with the way she was reacted to. Still, as she watched others enter, listened to the banter with underlying sarcasm, she remained silent and watchful. Elijah, she had learned in her brief tenure thus far, was one that was to be kept away from if one valued their life. Of course, she hadnt determined the reasoning completely, and though the power he held was one that caused caution to be in her mind, she was still curious at times. Still, she had not attempted to approach him, nor did she really approach any of the others. When her gaze swept toward Gabriel, she thought of what she had learned, she knew only that he was a vamp with his own mannerisms. There were times when she might consider he would be in a way the most friendly among the council, but she knew well that it could well be simply a mood and not a true feel. She had heard that he was a tactician so when she noted how his gaze moved over the rest of them within the chambers, she was certain that he too was simply in observation mode. She knew that unlike the others among the council, she had not had as much practice at remaining blank, but she had learned how to do so after her folks died. None had ever been aware that she had broken down when she was alone, it was this skill that she used well even now as she sat within the chambers. She shifted, moving her head and stretching in different manners until her neck popped and she gave a sigh of ease. The tension after the most recent juggling aspect of working within the normal life and trying to keep it going at the same time as her new life had been building and the cracking had eased some of the tension in her muscles. She watched the byplay between Isabella and Elijah, keeping back the smirk that she wanted to release as she noted the way the female vampire was looking. It had become apparent rather early in the game that Isabella had issues with cats, funny seeing as how Darby herself was a large cat when in her animal form. Shed even once considered padding into council in her animal form once just to see how the vampire reacted, but had kept from doing so. Her gaze continued, Sophie was the next person she looked at. Here, Darby thought was a intellectual. There were times when she wondered how the mage ever decided to leave her room. As she perused her now, she saw that once again the woman had herself focused on pen and paper. She knew that Mages did not like Weres, at least that was what shed been told. She didnt understand why as of yet though. With a mild shrug to herself, she glanced around further, her gaze roamed to Cassiel, another of the vampires. She was aware that the vampires held more of a sway on the council number wise then the other groups, though Mages came second. Cassiel she really hadnt determined what to think of, the woman seemed watchful, detached and yet able to present herself. When Aminah entered, she didnt pay any attention, knowing she didnt need to turn and watch the process of the phoenix coming in. In her short tenure, shed come to view this woman as arrogant yet honorable from the little shed seen. Darby had yet to determine anything else other then the fact that waiting on her to arrive with the coming discussions was rather annoying but it did give more time for thought. The Wolven. Mr. Santiago, the representative for a group that they were considering allying themselves with. The information that had been given to Darby had been read over, but she still didnt feel it was enough to make a decision regarding the possible alliance. It was good to know that they would have the chance to hear more from the head of Wolven himself before making a vote either way. Darby had of course, already begun working toward gathering more of her own intel regarding Wolven because she was not the type to make decisions based on little information. Her thoughts were brought up short because of the sound of the double doors opening yet again. When she swung her gaze toward the new arrival, she drew a slow deep breath, a natural habit as she allowed her senses to take in the new scent. She knew without a doubt who the new arrival was Lucas Santiago, head of Wolven. As his glance reached her, she gave a nod of respect toward him before she clasped her hands before her, startled to hear Elijahs voice. Keeping her expression impassive under such a surprise was difficult but she was pleased that she had managed. To cover her surprise, she also chose to add to the welcome, Your presence is appreciated, Mr. Santiago. Darby had kept her voice tinged with respect, calm and strong yet the inflection of her familial accent was also apparent in her words. Now, she waited to see how things would go, what conversations would flow, what information would be given. She also waited to see how their fellow council members would decide to handle all that they learned. Did they truly intend to take a vote on such an important venture during this single convening council meeting? She certainly hoped they didnt assume that such a pivotal vote could be made without taking time to consider what they learned. Creature Lowdown Vampire Basics See more No shiny vampires for me.
