The man sent a knowing at her as she responded only to have it slide off her like water down
glass. A smile tugged at his lips as he watched her, "Now, how would you know that the one
you seek is me?" Phoenix stepped forward a bit closing a little of the distance between them,
"Because I can see the tainted fae that i followed here, swirling about you." He was slightly taken
aback by her words, but recovered and gestured to the door behind him, "Perhaps we had best
speak in private." He then turned and headed down the hall with Phoenix following, a smug smile
in her eyes. They walked down a twisted hallway and past several doors before he stopped at
one and held it open gesturing for her to enter. The room was small with a desk, chairs, and a
single painting of an attractive man. Her eyes swept over the portrait quickly before she lowered
herself into a chair and watched him cross to the seat on the other side of the desk. He crossed
his hands and laid them on his desk watching her, the longer he sat the harder it was for Phoenix
to hide the smile begining to crept into her lips. Seeing her lips twitch he sighed, "Alright miss,
you win. My name is Riven Forrest and i am the owner of this shop. You say you were
searching for me and used the fae to do so. That is no longer possible though. The Patriarch's
sacrifice saw to that..." She truely smiled then, "A pleasure Mer Forrest. I did use the fae to find
you because only humans are limited by the sacrifice. The name the Mother gave me is Phoenix
but if you desire a surname the closest thing to that I can give you is Tarrant." Riven lept
backwards out of his chair and stared at her in wide eyed shock as Phoenix stood, "I know who
you are and I know what you did therefore i will not name you." Pushing her chair off to the side
she rounded the desk so that she stood before him, "I am not the only one who figured it out but
you know that as well. I just wanted to see you for myself and let you know that the Hunter's
ablilites live on." Riven swallowed hard, "How can this be?" "I am an izeu born from the Hunter's
humanity," with that she turned and headed to the door, "Are you going to walk me out?"
Forrest shook himself mentally and moved to walk by her side. After a few steps he looked at
her and could see that what she said had to be true, too many things about her fit for it to be
false. When they were outside the shop she turned to him and bowed, "It was a pleasure to meet
you Riven Forrest, I hope this will not be our last encounter." Taking her hand in his he lifted it to
his lips, "As do I Phoenix."
