NachrichtThe Harlequin, Maurice

Their own private piece of the bar at Club Harlequin 

"You voisse sse ssoughtss ssat are on our mindss ssinsse sse Sserpent revealed sse truss to sse firsst of our kind. Sse namess you usse are different, but sse meaning sstayss sse ssame. Indeed, it could be we 'ave more in common ssan we ssought." He looked at the woman, who had shmooched with the Harlequin before. "Maybe I ought to talk to 'er. She iss sse older ssen? More verssed in sse lore of your kind?" He shivered at the thought of her being even older than Harle. A thought occured to him, as he reflected what he had seen before. "She brought you into sse night, didn't she?" Not a new flame after all, he thought, but a very old one, indeed.

"As old as sin!" The Harlequin laughed. "She is my wife, and has been since the first night I broke the Taboo and ever tasted Blood. Her Blood in fact. She is, as you guessed, the one who brought me into the night. Much as her father was against such a thing. She is also much msarter than me and she knows a lot about the Path of Paradox. She's spent time with many of the Rishi and Guru of the Clan who have achieved enlightenment on the road to freedom."

He pauses for a moment, then turns to the group of women behind them. 

"Monisha, Av Akai Mandi's Odjus!"* His voice is stern, an order. Columbine turns towards the Harlequin and walks over, using every inch of her hips as she does so.

"My Kom!"** she purrs as she entwines her arms around him. 

The Harlequin leans close to her ear and whispers to her. He speaks for several minutes and while he does, the girls eyes fal upon Maurice. Dark and vibrant she watches the Setite as her husband explains what they have been talking about, and Maurice can see the moment her opinions of him alter. A mixture of concern and surprised realisation. Eventually he is finished and she looks fully at Maurice. 

"My Husband tells me that you are an enlightened man sir." Her wanton demeanour seemed less evident now, her face and her body language had become serious. "That you walk a road he believes is similar to our own. He asks that I tell you of the lessons we have learned in the fight to preserve and free the weig of the Universe. Perhaps it would be better first if you had any questions I could answer?"

*"Wife, come here my Lovely/my beauty!"
