or something. The moment she made contact she went still, which the Vampire's both noticed. Lenore even got ready to fight, until The Bey touched her arm.
    "No, dear. I don't think The Technician means harm or insult." The words were soft, but they all heard them, being way too close to one another for a mixed group like this. Keeley decided to assume that meant, afraid of her or not, that they could all be friends, eventually. It was probably wrong, but Lenore wasn't a bad sort, past her strong and deep seated desire to rip people's throats out on occasion. Bey was actually nicer than that by a good bit even, and Zack was a sweetie.
    Darla pulled back and nodded, holding her hand out to the rather frightened Lenore, gently.
    "True. He just shocked me a bit. Call me Darla. As your friend mentioned, I'm known as The Technician by some." They clasped hands easily enough and then the move got turned on Bey. The old and somewhat goofy looking thin little man bowed over the hand, just as he would over a regular woman's. It was darling. They'd have to have him around more often, if possible.
    Keeley clasped her hands in front of her, a move that made it seem like she was from a long ago era. Zack didn't seem to get that at all, but the others all did. She was old, and had strange mannerisms, just like they did. It practically screamed that she belonged in a group with them, but she tried to hide it after a moment, making it seem like a slip. Very subtly though, so no one would jump to the conclusion that it wasn't.
    "We should go soon. I have some people attending with us. They'll be brought in by my Lesser Demon, Balthias. I don't want anyone to be frightened. They're all terribly polite and well behaved. Now at least." Smiling in a friendly fashion, she opened a node for Zack to walk through, holding it with a good bit of focus. It took a moment to trace all the possible side routes and close them, so that it would only end at Finias's winter home, in the mountains. It wasn't a problem for them to get there, given everything, but some of the people invited would have been fighting through six feet of snow for days to make it on time. That was no doubt another way to subtly show off how powerful her kind was.
    On the good side it would make Zack look good too.
    "Shall we?" She waited for the others to go first, holding the rent in space open with her will and magic. It occurred to her to use a bit of the energy that she'd absorbed earlier for that. It seemed to help some. After the first group went, the Vampires giving a well timed little hop into the air so Zack could pull them along more easily, Darla tilted her head.
    "We need to talk about your friend. I can't swear he's one of us, but if I had to guess, I'd say we're going to the event with Xenses's child." She tried to slip into the inroads then, but Keeley cleared her throat first.
    "Didn't you tell me that Xenses had never had a child? While you couldn't lie?" It was kind of a big thing, because that might mean she was lying right then, given that fact.
    The pretty blonde, that looked about eighteen at the moment, seemed slightly annoyed by the questioning.
    " And ? I have new information, so the truth changes. The things done to him... They're very close to some of the things that Xenses used to do to me. That isn't proof of anything, but there are some signs. His energy pattern is being forced into a human flow for instance, not going still and drawn ever inward like ours does. It's a good trick, actually. We should both learn it. The flow wants to be like ours though. Not that strongly, but that could mean a thousand things. We need to grab Finias and grill him on the topic. Right now though we should go, or they'll feel abandoned with a bunch of strangers." Then she finished the move and opened her own door onto the inroads. It was a sign of power to do that after all. That and age.
    Keeley moved in behind the others, who'd waited for them to show up before ringing the
