"It may be prudent to find some sort of bodyguard for Mr. Holmes," I murmur to Lady Blue.

Lena looks back into Peter's eyes. There's no anger nor horror in her eyes, in fact, it's a bit hard to tell what she was feeling. After a few moments of silence she speaks. "Yes, it is wrong. Killing anything is wrong, even with a good reason.. but, there are those who do it and there will always be those who do it. Peter-" Her head suddenly snaps up, as she looks toward the compartment door.
Fear passes into her eyes. She could sense Elbereth was near.. she could almost feel her icy aura ... but why would Lena be afraid of her? Lena loved her aunt.. at least.. she thought she did.. Lena shivers as she stands. her hands are still pressed onto the table, and she does not realize as ice begins to circle them and starch out, slowly beginning to turn the table to ice.

"yes, it would Anima. And I understand you're wanting to make money, that's why we're here after all... However you do represent a considerable investment that had d**n well better pay off..." This is not meant as a threat, it is simply how I talk.

Damascus rolls off of the couch and hit his head on the floor. He got up and leaned with his back against the sofa, he rubbed the side f his head. The floor was carpeted, but that didn't help that much. To bad about his dreams, it had been a very entertaining one. Yawning, even though he had been asleep maybe twenty minutes at most, Damascus got the now empty tea pot from off of the table and decided to make another pot. He didn't really like coffee, it was too bitter and sugar couldn't help it at all. Tea was the obviously the better choice, and he knew how to make it right. There wasn't really a technique for making coffee. So, he made the tea, stirred in a bit of sugar, and then had a cup. He knew all about tea cerimony and all those wonderful things, but he needed tea ASAP. He needed to be awake, mostly because Satsujin could come at any time of the day or night, it would most likely be night though, the logic being that he was an evil deity, he'd probably stick to the cliche of night time being his strong point. Gods, they were just so narrow-minded some times it was said. He sipped his tea in thought, formulating more questions to ask Violet when he felt it would be a good time. A part of him wanted to ask her right then and there, but just popping questions at her wouldn't be productive. One by one, he'd get some answers.

"Yeah... it's good that, even in the darkest of times, there's some form of bright side--no matter how small... oh, here's what I find particularly funny; Stalin of all people finds Little Sister to be extreme and unjust... ain't that a hoot?" Huey said with a grin. Stalin, kill all opposition and suspected opposition Stalin calls Red Infinity opressive.

"I know... that's why I have the nightmares. But you don't know the whole story yet. When I fight, when I have to kill, I... I change. I, what're you doing?" Peter stands and steps away from the table as ice spreads across it. "Lena, what are you doing?" He looks at the door and then to Lena, "Someone's coming?"

"I think anything that potentially limits his power and his ability to scheme is "extreme and unjust." Bassarov says jokingly. He has little faith in Stalin or his politics.
"He speaks with a slight Georgian accent. He covers it well." Bassarov says randomly.

"Don't worry, I assure you that your money will not go to waste. In fact, I'll throw a money back guarantee into the mix. If you're not satisfied with my work, you get your money back. And you really have to be unsatisfied, not 'Thanks! You helped us but we don't want to pay you so we'll say we're not satisfied.'-unsatisfied." Holmes said with a smirk.

Huey laughs at Bassarov's comment on Stalin's views on Red Infinity's tactics. He quirks a brow at his remark on Stalin's accent.
"Huh?"

"I know what you mean, and I appreciate it..." Though if you were to become a liability it'd be far cheaper to simply kill you and recover our funds that way, rather than leave you alive to blackmail us... "Well a pleasure doing business with you. As an initial 'proving' assignment I want you to uncover something to help us blackmail Red Infinity, since they f**ked us on our trade deal..."

"It is nothing. I don't mean Georgia as the former U.S. state." Bassarov replies if that is what confused Huey.
"So, how are things at Red Infinity...aside from this Little Sister project."

"Things are ok... oh-some news concerning Freak Boy, he's being sent to Siberia to laber for the next seven years. Security there kind of sucks--no one wants to go freeze their ass off guarding a bunch of delenquints." Huey said only half joking. "If Freak Boy is as resourcful as the world thinks he is, he should be able to escape on his own... so, there's some good news."

"He should talk to Kautsky, the leader of the democratic socialist movement, and someone I don't care for at the moment. I hope he meets Kautsky and can tell that man that his politics are a socialist sham. Kautsky is in Siberia...it would be interesting if they met."

"Say no more. I'm on the case." Sherlock said. "I'll get on it right away. I trust you can show yourselves out."
Holmes stood up and started heading towards his room to get dressed and dig up some dirt on Red Infinity. This would truly be fun... illegal? Very. But the satisfaction would be soooo worth it.

Elbereth slides open the compartment door and looks to Lena. "Lena!.. oh, are you okay?"
She looks at the table and then to the man with a growl, assuming he was the reason for her. "You'd better not have hurt her in any way.."
When she steps intot he compartment, it is suddenly much colder then it had been before. She walsk to Lena, wrapping her arms around her niece.
"I am so happy you are safe! Don't worry Lena, I'm here to protect you now." She says with a smile, releasing Lena.
