"Truth Serum, hmm? I have just the thing - Grind two handfuls of rose leaves in a mortar, add a cup of holy water, 1/10th a measure each of Garlic, Belladon- Wait, you're not joking, are you?" He begins to appear a bit less jovial and more nervous now - he's fidgeting, examining objects on his table, the like.
"In all seriousness, then, I can call in a few favors, see if I can't have an eye kept on our dear Imperial friend. However, such efforts tend to be quite... costly." He turns and smiles at Seditch, idly juggling some silver coins.

Seditch reaches into his coin purse and pulls out ten crowns, handing them to Lestat. "There'll be plenty more when the Duchy is established, the dreams almost here, almost here. Oh, and one more thing, you do have my pig's blood don't you? I'm famished, so hard to feed around here without anyone getting suspicious..."

He looks over his shoulder a few times more than is probably necessary, then whispers "Cabinet. The waterskin. He's getting a touch pale, and looks rather nervous and uncomfortable.

Seditch walks over to the cabinet. "Loosen up, if I was going to feed on you I'd've done it by now. We've known each other as far back as I care to remember, Du'blia, if it came down to it, I think we both know, or should know, I'd risk being caught nabbing some peasant than kill you." He opens up the cabinet and takes a long gulp from his waterskin of pig's blood. "Besides," he pauses to wipe his lips, "Feeding from the vein is a lot like having sex for a vampire, why do you think it's also women they feed on in the old stories, eh? That would be a bit strange for my blood, if you'll pardon the expression."

He sighs, and nods. "I know, I know. It's just... Did you just say what I thought you said?"
"You did, didn't you? I can't believe you actually SAID that!" He breaks out laughing for a short bit. "Anyway, that should be more than enough to cover expenses for a few men who know the value of discretion. Poor Heinrich won't notice a thing.

"Oh, and, make that serum mixed into a bottle of fine wine. I've got a feeling that our fine captain will have some company tomorrow evening. And, I'll be needing it by tonight."

"That... that was a joke, Seditch. I don't have a truth serum, and of all the claimed serum's I've seen none have worked half as well as just getting the fool drunk. So, perhaps a few bottles of fine wine will solve that problem nicely, eh?"

"Right...I knew that, I was just...playing along...Yeah...so, instead I'll need two bottles of Vodka and an orange."

"Might I suggest you try the kitchen staff for that? Or perhaps your new chambers - I'm sure your brother had himself quite a stash, if he didn't drink it all."

"Usually, I wouldn't speak ill of the dead, but since I technically AM one, I'll make an exception; knowing that useless dotard, he probably finished it off his first night as duke."

"That's all for now, I've some preparations to make for tonight. I'll be in touch, don't be a stranger."

"Fair enough. Oh, before you go, congratulations again, noble sire... I'd say Long Live the Duke, but that'd be a bit inaccurate, wouldn't it?"

Seditch lets out a chuckle and opens the door "I may be dead, but I sure as hell know how to live. Take care." He goes into the Corridor and closes the door behind him. Now, to find Celeste.

Several Hours later, Celeste heads down a long pathway. Its barely lit. She can only see the shadows of things. She finds a bench right by the stables. She thinks to herself, "I hope these are the right stables." She goes and sits on the bench and waits for Seditch to come.
