*Tessa smiled as she entered the room, closing the door behind them.* "Yes... You can't even imagine the amount of time I've spent collecting this many books..." *She gestured to the shelves around them.* "And the furniture itself is from decades before you were born. Please, have a seat and make yourself at home." *Tessa showed him to the red velvet couch that rested against one of the walls.* "Isabel should be along any minute with some tea for you... I hope you won't mind if I have something a little stronger?" *She reached for a bottle of crimson liquid that sat on the large desk in the middle of the room.* "I'd offer you some, but I'm afraid you won't like it much... You could say that it's an acquired taste..."

Nikolas just shrugged and sat on the sofa. There were alot of old books, he believed her when she said it took a long time to get all of them.

*Tessa poured a very small amount of the strange drink into a glass, not wanting to fill herself up at all. She would need to save plenty of room... Still, she needed a little energy to keep up her mortal act. A smile still on her lips, she sat down on the couch by her guest.* "Has anyone ever told you that you are a very quiet man, Nikolas?"

"no, no one usually gets the chance to. I don't associate myself with many people." he said simply, leaning into the couch and just staring in a direction.

"If you don't mind me saying, I think that's quite a shame. It seems like you would be an interesting person to know..." *Tessa took a slow sip of her drink, staring at Nikolas over her glasses.*

"that depends on your own personal tastes I guess. I'm not the most exciting or interesting person in the world."

"Only because you don't allow yourself to be..." *Just then, a soft knock sounded on the door. Tessa didn't take her eyes off of Nikolas, even as she was replying.* "Come in." *The door slowly swung open as Isabel entered the room, carrying a tray with a small tea kettle and two teacups with their own little saucers. She set it gently down on the desk and then left just as silently as she had come. Tessa sighed softly and rose from the couch, setting her drink down on the desk next to the tray. She couldn't help but smile a little as she poured the tea into the cups. She knew that her instructions had been followed and a few special ingredients would allow her guest to drop his defenses for a little while.* "What do you take in your tea, sir?"

"anything, it doesn't matter to me. I don't usually drink tea, so really anything is fine." he shrugged once again.

*Tessa spooned a small amount of sugar into his cup and brought it to him.* "There we are... Perhaps a hot cup of tea will allow you to loosen up a little... Isabel makes the very best." *She sat down with her own cup of tea, although she knew she wouldn't really be able to drink it all... She could hardly tolerate a sip of the mortal drink... Still, she lifted the cup to her lips, managing to swallow a small amount of the hot liquid without showing any sign that she despised it.*

He took the cup and drank a bit, making sure not to burn himself on the hot drink. He quickly took another drink afterwards and afterward looked around a bit. ((so what was in his drink and how should he act?))

((Just a small amount of Ketamine... It's enough to impair his judgement, make him more open to persuasion, and make him feel almost like he's in a dream-like state.))
"So, do you have any other plans for this night? More work perhaps? Or are you just going to go home and sleep?" *She set her cup down on its saucer, reluctant to take another sip. Hopefully one would be enough to convince him that the tea was harmless...*

"I was just planning on going to sleep." he sighed and took another drink for lack of anything better to do.

*Tessa held back a sigh, looking away from him. He certainly wasn't the easiest person in the world to talk to... but all of that would change. Just a little while longer, Tessa... Just a little while...* "How's your tea?"

"it's fine. I'm not a big tea person, but this is pretty good." he looked at the cup and took another drink.

*This brought Tessa's smile right back to her lips.* "I'm glad that you like it. I don't know how Isabel does it... I'll only drink her tea."
