[regentem]

Well, I'm here.

[She steps back and holds out her arms, with a bit of a spin.]

All in one piece.

[witchaffinity]

And what a twirl she has.

( Right. They are old news. )

I should leave you to your categorizing. If you need a second set of eyes... Careful what you touch and what you touch them to. These are delicate and volatile.

[regentem]

I will.

[And she can't say she won't need that help, but not tonight.]

I'll call if you need you.

[witchaffinity]

You should. I'm irreplaceable.

( Like her. )

[commend]

( From former, to current, should she want to be. Scott wraps up what he needs to with his friends. He feels like it's not enough to send Davina a message, he wants to see her in person. He needs to do this in person.

He navigates the cemetery, knocking on the edge of the mausoleum's gate, the high pitch creaking as he pushing it open. )

[regentem]

[Kol is on a his way out, and given there's only one in and out to the mausoleum, Scott will see him. But he will also see the way Davina smiles when he passes through the door.]

Hey. I was going to come find you as soon as I was done here.

[commend]

( With an (18) in familiarity, Scott knows who passes him, while Kol only has passing interest (11). The face is a familiar one, but he doesn't know why. Probably one of those male witches, he doesn't pay him any mind. He has a girlfriend to track down.

Scott does smile, too. )

We're all scattered and I didn't know if you had your phone on you. I was told you were here. Is it okay I came?

[regentem]

Yeah. It is very okay.

[Her hands find his arms as she meets him halfway.]

I'm sorry I missed our date.

[commend]

No, I'm not holding you to being kidnapped. A really bad -- date would hold it against you. And I'm not a bad date.

( But, he knows she's being cute. )

My flight leaves tomorrow.

[regentem]

[She is a bit disappointed. She was hoping they'd have more time. But, she will take advantage of the time they do have.]

Then I guess I better do this before you go.

[And with that she will lean in to kiss him, soft and sweet. If he pulls back, then she'll stop, but she's hoping that he doesn't.]

[commend]

( No, he will not be pulling back. He will gently lean forward into the kiss. Never mind that it's a graveyard. Graveyards are for lovers? Soon to be maybe could've been lovers? )

[regentem]

[She did have a much more rom-com moment planned for this. There would have been baked goods and powdered sugar, and not the graveyard after having been kidnapped, but she doesn't regret it. She steps closer, winding her arms around his neck and holding the kiss for a little bit longer, before pulling back with a sigh.]

I've been wanting to do that for a while.

[commend]

Me too. I just - wanted to make sure you wanted it.

( Safe to say she does. )

I know we missed the festival, but are you hungry? I'm sure somewhere still sells dessert. And maybe dinner before the dessert. We haven't eaten all day, have we?

[regentem]

I think dinner sounds fantastic.

[She is honestly starving and could use some real food.]

Let me just put these away.

[She does listen when Kol issues magic warnings, and she doesn't want these to fall into the wrong hands when she's not looking.]

[commend]

What are they?

( He goes to grab one -- )

[regentem]

[She will catch his wrist before he does that.]

They are Monroe's super secret stash of dark magic items. Bela and Klaus recovered them from one of the strong holds and I have to go through them to see what's being kept and what's being destroyed.

[commend]

So... no touching.

( Sorry, Dav. )

[regentem]

No touching.

[She releases his wrist, before going to safely load them back into a crate and seal it with magic.]

I don't want someone to accidentally stumble on them either while we're gone.

[commend]

They were already in the wrong hands.

( He gives her the space to pack them away safely, watches her witching about. )

So - you don't - live here in the cemetery, do you?

[regentem]

No. I have an apartment in the Quarter.

[She tips her head to the side.]

Though I did spend a portion of my teenage years in the attic of a church.

[commend]

In a church ... attic. Were you hiding?

( Is it offensive he's thinking of Anne Frank? )

[regentem]

I was hiding. It's a long story, but basically Marcel kept me there to protect me from some witches that wanted to kill me.

[And in an odd kind of way, it became home. She understands why Freya loves her belltower, because there's something about the solitude and simplicity that feels like safety.]

[commend]

( A (13) gives him Marcel knowledge and compared to New Orleans and, yes, his connection to Davina. But, he can put two and two together from one of their past conversations. )

Because of the Harvest?

[regentem]

[She nods.]

Cami's uncle was running the church at the time, and he gave me sanctuary.

[commend]

Well, you don't need a sanctuary now. -- When you're not being kidnapped. ( So, he's trying to be romantic but they're not quite to... Or are they. ) Maybe, while I'm in town, I can be your sanctuary. Even for a short time. I even promise you can sing on a stage after I board the plane, like, Bodyguard style.
