| "Somewhat " he smiled "And to second guess you, I'm not lazy, simply testing the limits of your obedience." | |

| "I never said you were, Marvin," she said taken aback slightly. But also embarrassed. | |

| "No love, you didn't. But it was an unusual request after all." | |

| "Do you need anything else?" She asked, trying to change the subject. "The coffee pot should have just started." | |

| "No love" he said, while dropping her lead and going to get dressed "Come get me when you've had your fill please." | |

| Naomi nodded and watched him go. When he was dressing, she took the time to clean the tub and make sure that everything was left in orderly lines.
When the coffee pot was full, she silently slipped to the kitchen and quickly downed the first cup and then a second, holding the lead in her hand so as not to drag it on the floor.
When the second cup was drained, she rinsed it and placed it in the dishwasher and presented herself to Marvin. | |

| It was convient that he was nearby when the call came, and as such he arrived within minutes of it.
Walking upon the deck from the beach below, announcing his presence with two knocks of his cane upon the door before him. Then he waited for the response. | |

| Marvin walked to the door, and picked up Naomi's lead as he went, and opened the door with a soft smile.
"Good evening Mr. Morton, thank you for coming." he glanced over to the nude form of his ghoul; well nude save for the collar and leash she wore. "This is my servant Naomi, please come in and be comfortable."
He glanced to Naomi "You may leave if you wish love." | |

| a shallow nod, "Godd evening."
A quick glance to Naomi as she was mentioned, then to the collar and leash, which were of more interest to him than the ghoul herself.
accepting the invitation, he stepped inside.
"You mentioned something about a language you did not understand?" | |

| Marvin nodded, ignoring Naomi for the moment. She was free to stay or leave after all.
"Please sit if you wish" gesturing towards a black leather couch "I had a dream, singular enough in and of itself, but there were people in it speaking several languages I did not understand. I was standing in a hot desert, wishing for water, as one will do in a desert, and overseeing thousands of dark skinned laborers building a temple, a pyramid of sorts with white marble blocks. I was the Architect, and the design was mine. The dream left me with the impression that something I was building would wind up burying me, as I felt the searing heat of the sun on my face, and nearly frenzied upon awaking. The sensations were that real and vivid."
He paused remembering the dream "I was hoping you could pull it from my mind and perhaps understand the languages. Of course I will give you something for your time and trouble as well. I have the odd feeling... that the pyramid might be symbolic of the Tremere, I'm not sure though." | |

| Standing for the moment, and not seeming shocked at all by the mention of him having a dream.
Contemplating the offer for a moment. "As is the case of entering one of your clans minds, there is a risk of a transferance of madness. If such is to happen the cost shall be higher, if it does not, it shall be less. I give you the offer of having such a debt registered, or simply knowing some night I shall collect upon the debt. I charge more if you require it registered as I do not care to have my business known more than is necessary. Yet, if you choose to not register such, you will have little room to deny whatever I may request in the future, if you find such request objectionable." The terms of business must be made clear. Deals with the Devil had rules even if the print was very small. | |

| He nodded "I do not care to register such debts myself if possible. As for collecting it in the future, so long as it does not endanger my life unduly I would be satisfied with such an exchange." | |

| Perhaps it was the shock of having someone else see her collared and leashed and nude. Or perhaps it was Victor. Then again it could have easily been both, really. Naomi froze, turned red from embarrassment and immediately her eyes found the floor while she waited for her brain and legs to cooperate.
Finally after a few moments passed after her dismissal, Naomi left the room on legs that seemed to be made of jelly and quickly his herself in a closed room. | |

| "For a service such as this, any request I make should be of little or no risk to your life." Rarely did he have plans in mind when he made such deal, yet this time he had something in mind for when the time was right. | |

| He nodded and then barely noted Naomi leaving. Such a pity, he had hoped she would have gotten better with some things.
"I find that agreeable." A boon was a boon, logged or not after all. | |

| "Very well." Finally taking a seat focusing upon Marvins eyes with a great intensity. "Now, I want you to think on the memory, try and recall every detail in your mind, open your mind to me and let me see the dream that you had lthis night." The words were a siubconcious compulsion that his mind would heed without even knowing such. | |

| He did as he was asked, and focused on the memory, recalling it all in perfect detail, an easy feat for one with eidetic memory. | |

| Head slowly twisting to one side then the other. Then a smile and a brief chuckle. "They are speaking about seven different languages, all of which are directing their slaves to work harder, endure and Heave Ho. There is no conversation of importance." | |

| Marvin chuckled "I suspected as much, but one never knows. The curious thing then, is how did those languages get into my head. Had I been exposed to them, I would have remembered." | |

| "As you press your mind beyond the fold of conciousness, to the subconcious, at times it presses back. I have had similar moments after regularly sharpening my sences beyond normality." There was a reason he was not suprosed that Marvin had dreamed. | |

| "Interesting. I have been pushing things of late, having finally just reached the ability to visit the astral plane. I've yet to go there, I would imagine it is a rather interesting place." | |

| "It is indeed, yet I tell you now to be careful where you tread, for in its depths, there are creatures that even I fear." Fondly remembering his first trip to the Astral plane, and the joy and fear of supsequent visits. | |

| He nodded attentively. "The areas around the city, how dangerous are they? Mr. St. Hubert has made it clear he feels all must do their duty to watch the city from attack, I had given some thought to watching that area at random times, or perhaps if he was agreeable coordinating such action."
Marvin... was not a fighter, although he was skilled in some areas, but he was certainly willing to aid the domain to the best of his abilities. | |

| "As long as you keep an eye to movement off the horizonof your vision, you should be mostly safe. One must usually seek out trouble in the Astral plane, yet it is there to be found." | |

| "Understood. By the way, I did not examine the coat Mr. St. Hubert found, not knowing if you would wish it yet or not. I suspect there will be more related items, and I did not wish to risk another case of bleeding eyes in public. If you wish me to study it, I am of course at your disposal." | |
