"I have heard about Vampires. A lot of strange inconsistent and contradictory stories. People fear what they do no know or understand. The truth is always different."
"Right now I feel a bit weak to return your hospitality and offer some blood. I apologize." Maeve says. "If your are not out to take all and kill me, there might be a time when I can return your hospitality." She offers.

"So, if you wish to return to your side, say where and when."

"The Hidden One. I heard that name before. My friend Dio was together with a group of Chaosians, who spoke of him, praised him, I guess this group served the Hidden One. Maybe I can help a bit in regard of this Hidden One. Passing you a message when I find out something about him. What actions of him are you aware off if you can share this, so that I have a starting point." Maeve asks.

#s://i~ibb~co/vjCYcS6/rhanda~png "You friend serves the Hidden One? You must hope that she is peripheral to his cadre. He has many schemes and plots stretching from the Courts of Chaos out through Shadow, and into here. These days his main concern in the murdering of Merlin and taking the throne of Chaos. Your Dio may know something of it. We will be watching her."

"Served, right now she serves no one aside herself and I consider that the best for her. But you are right to watch her, she thinks that several parties try to get to her, one of them might be connected to the Hidden One." Maeve answers.
"So the Hidden One wants the Throne of Chaos; -Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown-. Maybe it is time for me to return to the Courts. If I get to know something about the location of the Hidden One and want to pass that to you, if there a ways to do so?"
"You asked me where I would want to go, can you get me to the Courts?"
[OOC: Does Maeve feel good enough to change into her demon from, not now but when she gets to the Courts.]

#s://i~ibb~co/vjCYcS6/rhanda~png "One of us will contact you. If all goes according to fate, you will never see this place again."Rhanda leaves the table and stands in front of a mirror in the hallway. She mutters a long string of words and gently touches the frame and the glass. After a few minutes of this, she beckons Maeve over. She grabs Maeve's hand and pulls her through the mirror and into a small bedroom, walls and furnishings all made of dark wood. She immediately steps back through the mirror and is gone. Maeve can sense that this isn't the Courts of Chaos but probably in someone's Ways. OOC: She does feel good enough to change shape. Maybe not more than once or twice.

Maeve give a good by sign to the mirror. "Good by and my thanks."
Then she gives at the room a long glance taking all in, the long coat hanging on a rack at the wall, the pair of shoes next to the bed, the comb cast on the nightstand, the empty sheets of paper cleanly stapled next to a bottle of ink and some quills on the desk, the tiny blade to cut the quills. The landscape paintings, held in dark colors fitting the interior of the room.
She looks if there are clues whose Ways that might be, color schemes, a crest displayed somewhere, a hair in the comb, indications about the person that uses that room, noble, servant, male, female.

A note was hastily scrawled on one of the pages.
Something came up. Had to split. Keep your fandan up. - Merle

Maeve raises an eyebrow, still not indication, where this might be. If that is note is from Merlin SawallWays would be her first guess.
She leave the rooms and stepping into one of the usual corridor that defies what most people knew about geometries. She chooses to go 'left' and looks around for a servant, demon or demon servant. It does not take long and she comes across a small creature, a demon of lower rank, who is busy cleaning the floor in an endless futile fight against the dust.
"I'm Lady Maeve Helgram, please take me to the Lord or Lady of this House, so I can properly excuse my uninvited intrusion."

The little guy looks up at her with confusion, then relief as he hears a ball rolling across the floor. Coming around a corner, then down the hall, is a black metal ball about the size of a cue ball. Reaching Maeve, it begins to circle her feet.

Maeve raises an eyebrow when the ball starts circling her and sighs.
That does not look a like a child toy.
She takes the measure of the circle, so she does not disturb it and keeps herself still.
With a voice load enough that it can be heard at the end of the Hall she calls out.
"I'm Lady Maeve Helgram, I'm looking for a Lord or Lady of the House."
[If she feels well enough, she brings the Logrus to her mind as defense against magic.]

#s://i~ibb~co/pb5Tjcn/mandor~png #s://i~ibb~co/TRd2GLn/Mandor~jpg As she thinks on the Logrus a second sphere rolls out of the darkness towards her. This one leaps up to orbit her head at eye level in the opposite direction to the first. Moments after she yells the second ball drops to the floor then both roll away into the darkness. "Cousin Maeve, how good of you to visit. Know that you are always welcome in my Ways,"Mandor steps out from the darkness at the end of the hall. "But to be sneaking out of Merlin's room in the first light of morning..."[OOC: I really don't like that supposed painting of Mandor but I haven't been able to find one better.]

If that is Merlin's room it explains some things, Maeve has been to rooms of teenager in children corrections centers that had been less depressing.
"Cousin Mandor, nice to see you. That was hardly sneaking and Merlin was not in his rooms." She smiles and then shrugs. "Did not knew I'm his type that you might think he and I."
She wonders if Merlin even has a type or simply enjoys women's company like his father.
"I have not been in the Courts for a while, I heard my cousin Merlin is now the King. May Swavill rest in peace and may Merlin's rein by successful."
"Do I have to be worried about any clean up in the line of succession?"

#s://i~ibb~co/pb5Tjcn/mandor~png "I confess to not knowing the boy's mind nor what his type is. One privilege of power is a certain loucheness, if one so chooses. I had hoped he had decided on a wise political marriage in bringing our houses closer. Sadly, I suppose he was just involved in his usual sordid romps. "You heard correctly yet some of the other families have not yet consented to his rule. There have been many meeting and displays in the hope of bring some order to our Chaos. We can only hope that reason will prevail among the rebellious Houses." The spheres, joined by a third begin to rotate a wide circle on the wall. Within the circle the wall grows hazy and reveals a deck with a table and two chairs in the sunlight. "Step this way into one of my more congenial morning spots. "I don't believe there are any external threats to Helgram but what goes on within your Ways in a mystery to me. Are there any other children of Lysander with itchy knife hands? Other cousins with psychotic tendencies?"
