>Mara turns to Etienne.  He had finished the sentence.  Which meant that he 
>knew or at least understood Spanish.  Something to remember when dealing 
>with him.  Keeping her eyes on him, she smiles at Etienne, and at the 
>courtly gesture that she'd grown accustomed to since her embrace.  "Thank 
>you, Etienne.  Can I say you look almost as good as Senor Montoya, and may 
>I have a few words with you in private before the party ends?"

>"I can say my time is almost exclusively yours my dear!" He replied as his 
>eyes strayed back tot he mortal. I just have one task to complete with the 
>indominatable Miss kane that shouldn't take forever. Perhaps you would both 
>like to join us? Mr Buford of the Nosferatu is out back with Ash and his 
>elegant lady Fiend. We were hoping to entice Miss Kane to perform for us 
>privately."

Mara smiles.  It was so much easier here than it had been in Seattle.  Were 
they kowtowing to a new Kindred, or was it always this way?  There would be 
time enough to find out, she supposed.  Lady fiend?  That wasn't a slip of 
the tongue was it?  Which meant she was...  Wow, she'd never met a Tzim up 
close and personal.   And a Nossie at the party?  This was an interesting 
city.

"Sounds fun."  Mara replies.  "I'd be more than happy to join you."  And 
meet another of our kind.

>Ettienne looked deep within himself, calling on the powers of the blood and 
>the skills of Presence. Wordlessly he called to Sugar, dominating her 
>attention. The pull was subconscious, unrecognized. Sugar saw him and 
>wanted to be near him. It was as simple as that!

Mara watches the look of concentration on Ettiene's face.  She knew exactly 
what he was doing.  She had learned earlier that she herself had that very 
power.  To summon someone to your side with only a thought, a desire.  She 
had reached out and brought Christine back to her.  Would she be able to 
contain her need for her former lover's presence?  She wasn't sure.

But for now, she watches and waits for the Summoning to do its work.
