" Fear you ? "
Aleksandr scoffed, leaning over the table menacingly,
" FEAR YOU !? "
He gritted his teeth, face turning red and clenching his fists.
" SUCH DAMNABLE AUDACITY TO PRESENT YOURSELF AS SO ! "
Aleksandr leaned back, restraining himself
" The hour of civilities is past us, I cast my doubts as to your alibi but if I were to entertain the thought, then what, pray tell causes the preternatural glow of your eyes and the warp aura that surrounds you.... there can be but only one explanation underhive dweller "
" THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THE RUINOUS POWERS THAT DWELL BEYOND THE TRAVESTY WHICH IS THE GAPING MAW OF CHAOS "
Aleksandr's guards moved in to grasp him gently by the shoulders, inviting him to return to his seat, as his gesture became more thoughtful and concerned.
" Hearken unto me thus, I will make my investigations into your claims as I see fit and should the matter prove to have contradiction as to your claims then know that I will visit every desecration upon you until you are thoroughly annihilated. Hrnph... very well, for now I suppose you have staked your innocence in such matters... out of respect for Lord Kothinto I shall abide.. for now.. tell me then... what is a vampire ? if you claim to be such.
Aleksandr added dismissing the matter then but not without a final reprimand,
" And cast it into your mind that I fear nothing except "
Pointing to Szeras
" Except that thing hrn... back to the crypt from whence you came, phantom. "
Aleksandr turned to Mathius offering rum in the egg nog
" Your hospitality is ever a virtue Lord Kothinto, however I am partial to all except Amasec of notable imperial pedigree, given the auspicious denizens whom visit your establishment from our realms perhaps it is time to get hold of a rogue trader to supply as such. Of Amasec, I can be sure of... and making the hypothetical assumption that you were an Aeldari "
Aleksandr paused to wink at Mathius
" Which you are clearly not, I hear tell of certain exodites who are purveyors of rare blends of amasec and such and such within the depths of the webway "

"Mathius. I insist you call me Mathius" he said with his usual charming diction.
Esme had been a little indisposed, bent over in her seat to swap out a chem pack on her leg, when Mathius set the egg nog in front of her. She hadn’t noticed its presence right away, and once she did she regarded it with utmost curiosity.
“What is this strange beverage…” Esme murmured, staring into the mug of eggnog. She sniffed it and then stirred it with her finger to test the liquid’s viscosity. “Is this alcoholic?” She licked it off her grease-stained finger, which tinged the flavor accordingly. She didn’t seem to notice.
“Hm.” Apparently pleased, she continued to sip from the mug as she looked around and observed the happenings in the bar. This place was growing rather hectic. Not that it bothered her.

The girl just stared. At the beverage.
What is this?
With curiosity, she grabbed the mug, and took a sniff. ?
Then, she took a sip. Just right then she realized that it was alcoholic, and with this she set it aside.
If Esme is able to sense mechanics, she might know that Xueqing went through a cardiac operation and now has an artificial heart.

Esme, unable to sense that sort of thing, merely looked over at Xueqing and remarked, “I’ll drink that if you don’t want it.”
“You were gone for a bit, weren’t you?” she added. While she had been fiddling with the electronics in her leg earlier, she had noticed, come to think of it, that she hadn’t heard anything from Xueqing for a period of time there.

"I guess every military higher-up is loud and obnoxious." Obviously it was meant to be a jab, but hey, what would you do against a kid who pilots a 19 meter tall Gundam? "What can you do, I guess?"

You would offer it the same Imperial courtesy as the Tau are afforded.

Esme does not take so kindly to this comment, though she’s quite certain it wasn’t directed at her. She’d had a number of higher-ups back in her day who she respected greatly. “Not all. Only some of them.”

"Yeah. Was scared off by some demon for a bit, and had to get a heart replacement. Thanks to Harkoth." Xueqing nodded. "And sure!" She passed the egg nog to Esme.
Esme perks up, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s because of the eggnog or the talk of artificial hearts. “Really, now? That’s great. I’m glad you found someone a little more skilled to do it for you.” She took a long drink of the first mug of egg nog. “I’ll have to ask him about the design later. My artificial heart prototype used pistons like in a ground car engine. John said it was absurd.”
“Anyway! Tell me, how does it feel? Better?”
"Actually, it is a good idea." Xueqing tilted her head while taking out a phone, "Pistol is a good start. Try to ensure it won't leak, and that the blood won't be let flow backwards."
"And yeah, significantly better." She looked aside. "No need to worry about my life when I'm stressed now."

Sue popped up in her bar stool, her head jerking awake as something disturbed her. Suddenly the first thing she noticed - at the same time being the thing that woke her up from her peaceful nap - was the rabid voice of some dude yelling about somebody getting touched by the flame of chaos or something. What in the great googly went on without her? Apparently the same cast of people were still there too.
"What the hell? Did i doze off? What is this guy on about now?" she asked, unaware that she was still invisible.

John looks up from his book, eyes scanning the room for the source of Sue’s voice. He saw nothing. With a sigh, he muttered, “Am I hearing voices now? By the divines. Father’s magic torments me to no end.”
"Meow?"
Xueqing seemed bewildered by the sudden voice, but she recognized it. It was Sue, still somehow invisible. The girl then tilted her head, and playfully went "I can't seeeeee you-".

Aleksandr shot a glance towards Esme, pausing for a moment as he studied her semblance and wares, looking at one of his guards and issuing a nod, the guard plucked a servo-skull tied to his belt as the device whirred into operation, the ocular device shot out strange beams at Esme, they were not offensive in nature but merely issuing a scan as per standard protocol.
The servo-skull's eye briefly turned a green color issuing approval.
Well met Adept Sidonia, if the auspex report holds true then you are under the tutelage of the esteemed Magos Harkoth; he must have seen great promise in you to take you in as such. I am Lord General Aleksandr Von Drakenfell, I command the 109th Independent Battle Group - Stygius Ferox. I had intended to beseech Lord Harkoth for his assistance in augmenting some of our tactical doctrines with his command of technology, perhaps you would see fit as to partake in his work and perhaps.... put in a word with Lord Harkoth that the Guard is in need of his services.

"But that is what I do best." Despite the flat robotic monotone, it was clear that Szeras seemed genuinely upset by such a flagrant dismissal of his grand designs. "There are many who can attest to that."
"Do not drag me into your attempts to achieve an illusion of godhood."
"Huh? Oh! Haha! Silly me."
Sue clicked her transformation device and returned to visibility. The source of the voice was clear now - but instead of the outfit she was wearing before she turned invisible, she was back in her regular suit and tie, with the fox pelt draped over her head and back. She yawned comfortably.
"Oh, hey Xueqing! What'd I miss?"

"Oh, hey Xueqing! What'd I miss?"
"Um, a lot."
Xueqing scratched her head, trying to remember the things happened earlier.
"First me having a heart attack, then three paper figures getting fruits here, then me going for a heart replacement, then the barkeeper giving eggnog and curly fries to everyone."

"Whoa damn! Are you ok? That is a lot! You look ok... and... I want eggnog and curly fries! Can i get my eggnog spiked? And my curly fries with lots of cheese?" Sue put her hands together as she already started drooling.
