Cognac & Cards
Subject: Cognac & Cards: Considering A Move Back Into Society
Who: Sergius Petrov
Warnings: TBA
Where: Sergius Petrov's townhouse
Open to: Beth and Seb

Sergius shuffled the cards in his hands once more, glancing up at the young lady across from him, before beginning to lay out the cards on the table, seven cards face down, laying several down on the furthest card to the right, and less and less cards piled on the cards towards the left. "Will you not join me, my dear?" He called her as he finished laying them out, setting the remainder at the top left. "At least in another drink if you won't play Solitaire with me? I know your second sight must make card games dull." He teased her, smirking, before he bent his head back down to the cards, beginning to turn over the top most. "Perhaps you'll read my fortune for me? You and the spirits of the underworld or otherworld or some world should advise me. Should I re-marry, my dear? Or perhaps I should move back to the continent? Change my will to make you and Master Sebastian my beneficiaries?"

	There was a knock on the door, a sharp and buisness like tap intended to draw the attention of those inside the house. Sebastian blew on his hands, rubbing them together quickly and then knocked again He was hardly in the mood to be left standing on the doorstep any longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sergius sighed, getting to his feet and smiling slightly. "Get another glass for Sebastian, my dear." He asked her, moving to open the door himself. It was best, he found, not to let the staff open the door after a certain time of night. Especially if it was Sebastian he was expecting to come calling.

He took the bolt off the door to let the young man in, looking him up and down. "Cold?" He asked, "Would a Congac warm you up?"

	Sebastian spared him a glance, stepping inside and removing his coat, hanging it by the door. "A little. I walked all the way from the bank and there's a chill in the air." Smoothing down the front of his suit he considered the offer. "A Cognac would be very nice. Is Miss Downing joning us tonight?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You walked?" Sergius said with some surprise, "My my, Sebastian, are you trying to save money?" He asked, guiding the young man into the room, and gesturing Sebastian into a chair. "Beth has graced us with her presence tonight. And together we have discussed a very important issue which I want to discuss with you also."

Sergius sat himself down back at his place at the card table, bringing the cognac glass closer. "Beth and I are going to marry. A marriage of convince and benefits for all of us. It will allow her great flexibility within court society, and it will ensure that another woman will not be tempted to insert herself into our little organisation." He paused, taking a sip from the glass. "What do you think?"

	"Always." Sebastian said, following him in to the living room and settling in one of the chairs, nodding to Beth. "Money doesn't grow on trees." Sebastian took a slow swallow of his Cognac. "And when did you decide this?" He asked, looking between the two of them. "And where does this little plan leave me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sergius smiled, "Don't you have enough money yet, Sebastian?" He said, leaning back and looking over the young man again, a glint in his eyes. "We should increase your income. Give you a raise of some sort. After all, you are Beth and I's personal financier."

Sergius too looked back to the young lady. "It does not leave you anywhere, Sebastian. I do not want anyone else becoming involved. The three of us manage without the interference of others. A marriage of convince needs not change anything, Sebastian, I do not want it to be something which drives us apart. We are a very good team, all together."

	"We are, are we?" Beth asked, quite surprised since Sergius had been so cold on the idea before hand. She glanced across at Sebastian smiling at him. "I hope this wouldn't change anything, Sebastian. I don't think any of us planned to give up our over-all objective. I know I haven't, a revolution in England would be rather disastrous for us."

Sergius nodded, finishing the rest of his drink and looking between the two. "Nothing changes. Apart from our income, which will increase, of course. After all, with Beth gaining a title, and no doubt a lot more attention for certain men... well, I am sure there will be many more accounts that will need your attention, Sebastian. And many more parties that we will all be required to attend." He explains, moving slightly closer to the pair of them. "I hardly think it is a bad idea if it will increase our net income while reducing the risks we all face."

	Sebastian studied them both for a moment, nodding in agreement."No, I think thank sounds very senisable when you put it that way." He said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Everything we do is sensible." Sergius said, smirking slightly, "For the most part." He added, the glint in his eyes bright again. "You'll have to be present at the wedding, Sebastian, of course. Under the guise of keeping an eye on the speeding. And you will have to stay for the wedding night." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sebastian laughed softly, taking another sip of the drink. "I'm not sure if your new bride would want me there." He said teasingly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am sure she would, would you not, my dear?" He asked, glancing back to her, hand moving to rest on her knee. "You would not want to leave out dear our sweet Sebastian?" He said, fingers stroking upwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth smiled at them. "Of course. Having you there Sebastian always helps Sergius be so much more invigorated" She said, spreading her legs a little wider to let his hand slip down onto her inner-thigh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sergius smiled, hand indeed slipping lower down her leg and up her thigh, fingers moving higher and higher. "Thank you my dear. Where would I be without you and Sebastian?" He said, looking back to the boy, "I no doubt wouldn't have taken so well to mourning." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dela_mort 2008-07-26 02:34 pm UTC (link)
	Beth squirmed in her seat, setting the glass down. "Yes, mourning always is so much easier when you have warm bodies to keep you company." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Two is always better than one, and three, I must say, is even better." He said, hand moving slightly higher up her leg, his attention moving back to Sebastian. Do you agree, Sebastian?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sebastian pulled at his collar. It suddenly felt far to warm in the room. It must have been the fire burning so brightly. He coughed and took another sip of his Cognac. "I would always agree with that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good. I would hate for us to fall out over such a fundamental grounding of our relationship." Sergius said, topping up everyone's drink. "You are quite red, Sebastian. Is everything alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandglitters 2008-07-26 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, everything is fine." He said, taking another deep swallow from the glass. "Just wondering what else you had planned for this evening?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	moshenik 2008-07-26 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	"I had no set plans, Sebastian. But I think you and Beth should stay the night, if it is as cold as you say." He said, "I wouldn't like either of you to catch a chill when you can stay warm here..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well I doubt my landlady would let me in. It's getting towards the time she locks the doors at the house and I wouldn't like to spend the night on the doorstep, or have to go to the bank manager's home and wake his family." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	moshenik 2008-07-26 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Then that's settled then." Sergius said, stroking higher up Beth's leg, fingers prying up the hem of her dress. "I have so missed you both..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
