!september, alexander yaxley, renata selwyn

Who: Renata Selwyn & Alexander Yaxley
Where: Renata's home, Selwyn Manor
What: Old friends coming together
When: Dinner
Rating: R

Renata was seated in the parlor of the manor, she was dressed smartly in a little black dress with black heels that had deep red snakeskin on their soles and the heel. A diamond studded necklace graced her throat and glittered in the candle light. She had her long hair down, pinned back neatly enough to keep it out of her eyes. And she was done up with dark makeup, the color of mourning, despite the fact she was overjoyed. Instead she played the part of the weeping widow and kept to the house, draped the walls and portraits with black cloth and prepared for the memorial and funeral. Inside she was dancing, she couldn't believe her luck. FINALLY.

She walked the line of decency with the fact her dress was hemmed to her mid-thigh instead of the floor, and dared to wear her diamonds, but she was growing weary of being 'sad' and 'dutifully depressed'. It was making her sick. So she sent an invitation out to Alexander and settled in for a wait. He had been her confidant - so it was with him she'd share the joy of the death of Torin. She smiled as her house elf bobbed in, announcing that her guest had arrived. She waved the elf off with a curt gesture, indicating she should bring Alexander here. She settled back into her chair by the fire, and smiled as the doors opened again.

Alexander shrugged his shoulders as he slid from his chair and followed her as she beckoned. It wasn't like he was a stranger to her bedroom and not in the way most would think. Their conversation surely had its merits.

He looked her up and down taking stock in her clothing and their functionality. It would work and it did make her look rather attractive. "Those will do nicely love."

Alexander stood there still a moment while he pondered their possibilities. There was a small muggle town near by that wouldn't miss a few teenagers. There were some that liked to wonder out late at night on stupid Halloween dares.

"Ever fancy a game of cat and mouse in a cemetery?"

Renata never had people in her rooms that weren't confidants. If Alexander ever betrayed that trust, she had no problem dropping him down the darkest, deepest hole she could find, and that was being kind. She did like him after all. But Renata was an honest woman, if vicious, and she never laid with anyone outside of her marriage. She did not believe in the act of cheating. Now, plotting murder was another story.

She smirked as she pulled on a pair of soft leather boots that muffled her foot falls. Not that she clomped around much, anyways. But it was the thought that counted there. She smirked at him. "Of course they will do. I had them sewn for comfort and functionality." she paused at a dresser and dug through a drawer until a hidden drawer popped out.

She pulled out a pair of needle thin blades and tucked them neatly into sewn pockets, also adding her wand into place. Renata smirked a touch. "I like the sound of that." she mused with a tilt of her head, lips curling into a smirk. "It could be a lot of fun." she nodded lightly before grabbing her cloak for a hidden exit.

Alexander shook his head. He was used to being around the "society" type of girls and their custom clothes. Personally he thought it was a little silly but he could see why they did it. Whatever. "I am sure you did love." Long as she could move and watch his back should something happen, like the Order showing up, that was all he cared about.

"It will be," Alexander said with a smirk. He had been stalking the group for a while. They made it a habit to dare a new person from that muggle school of theirs to venture into the cemetery so they could scare the hell out of them. This time they would get more than they bargained for.

He tucked his wand into his robes. "Are we going the non-magic route tonight?" Unlike most he didn't mind a little blood and a little cold steel in his work. It was much more creative than magic.

"After you my dear," he told her as he motioned to the door.

She'd happily kick him for thinking that way if she knew. She grinned inwardly, she liked being comfortable. That was what personal seamstresses were for, right? Renata smiled warmly and pushed the pony tail over her shoulder.

"I hope so. I really enjoy a little fun." she nodded. "I'm content without magic but am more than happy to resort to it if necessary." she smirked a bit and nodded. She liked the feel of a blade. Magic was easy. Survival via knife was not.

She slid from the room like a snake through water. She moved languidly towards the door opening it and headed outside, taking in a breath of the night air and smiling. She liked the night time, it offered new things and promises of a better tomorrow. "Where to?"
