John Black, Abby, Kurt Morgan
Very Old Man, Very Rattled Bastet, Sidhe 
Lady Sinclair's Mansion
   
  John smiled at the excellent comparison. "You're
probably right. And what of Mr. Morgan, here?" John
pulled her in a little closer so that his body was
touching hers more fully; a gesture meant to be
reassuring as he asked a question he was sure would
make her uncomfortable.

But she was a big girl, and if he thought she couldn't
handle herself he wouldn't have asked. "I find it
curious that Mr. Morgan would make it a point to
mention a stock offering, the second person to do so
tonight, and draw our attention to the major players
in that offering or at least I suspect. What should
we make of that?"

He had a playful smile and his eyes never left the
gentleman.
   
  Morgan simply smiles and looks to Abby. His face is full of expectation to hear Abby's insight on his own nature as he enjoys the attention, but also the company and the conversation.
   
  She takes a deep breath, thinking about her answer.
  Her fear’s subsided, her other self being far more comfortable around the Sidhe Lord helps a lot.
   “Mr. Morgan’s a Player, in the purest sense o’ the word. He’s been watchin’ the rest of the cast of this Fancy Dress Party and enjoyin’ all the jockeying an’ plottin’. I think he’s playin’ catch with the Hot Potatoes like this Stock Offerin’ and enjoys watching them all scramble for it.  Now he’s got us to share the fun with an’ that makes it even better.”
  She turns her gaze to Morgan, a wicked spark in her green eyes.
  “How am I doin’ so far, M’Lord?”
  She leans into the solid warmth of the Undying, smiling.
   
  Its all a game, TAG!
