[ the pendergast manor is a sprawling sight, impressive even to those who live in the world's most ridiculously sized castle. the whole place has a sort of country club air, and white gloved butlers escort the little troupe of knights through the halls, past expensive paintings and all the other old money trappings. ]

[Bitchy.] Distressed, is all. She'll be fine.

[lastdragomir]

Phineas! [ her tone has a definite reprimand in it. as in cease being rude, right this instant, please. but she doesn't let her frown linger, turning back to mr pendergast with an apologetic smile. ] She's shaken, yes, but she's resilient, I don't doubt she'll bounce back quickly enough. There is another matter we wished to discuss with you, but perhaps it's better to do so in private?

[ she doesn't want to judge his parenting and drop the oh btw someone died down the hall bomb on him in front of the guests. ]

[ he nods towards a little side room with a piano in it, leading them that way with only a cursory look at phineas. once they're all in, he quietly shuts the door behind them. ] Well?

[bluffcheck]

I'm afraid this wasn't some harmless fling, sir. The stalker was a... [Thoster casts a quick glance to Lissa without really knowing he's doing it.] A vampire. I'm not sure what sort of company your daughter has a habit of keeping, but while we managed to stop this one incident, there's no telling if he's got friends and if they'll be angry for what's happened tonight.

[behindcloseddoors]

[ his expression clouds and darkens as he looks between them. ] Is this some sort of joke?

[bluffcheck]

Afraid not. We just thought you ought to know.

[lastdragomir]

We don't wish to worry you, sir. [ she hurries to calm the waters (diplomacy 30) ] We simply don't wish for Callista to find herself in such a dangerous situation again and we're hoping we'll be able to help you find an appropriate solution, whether it be a temporary boost in security or some way to keep such... creatures from entering the grounds.

[behindcloseddoors]

[ he rubs his temple, but nods. ] ... Very well. I'll... I'll work with your people to see what we can do about warding the grounds.

[bluffcheck]

That's all we ask, sir. Last thing we want is to see the girl get caught up in this sort of mess again.

[behindcloseddoors]

Believe me, she and I will be having words.
