---

Talia al Ghul has posed:
She had asked for Selina to come to the Manor. It was apparently something that she preferred not to sepak to Bruce over. Or even Damian. So that was something that was enough to pique Selina's interest. Unfortunately, it means that Talia is waiting for her in her room at Wayne Manor.. So there's only a minimal chance to sneak up on her.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina may not be currently dating Bruce, but her presence is well-known in Wayne Manor. And more importantly by Alfred. She drives herself, the green Jaguar convertible parked outside on the circular drive. Leather boots cover her legs to mid-thigh, a little short of the matching leather mini that takes over a few inches up. The turtleneck is black like everything else, sleeveless to show gold bangles on each wrist. She knows where the room is located, and knocks briefly before just walking in.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
As Selina arrives at Stately Wayne Manor and goes to Talia's door, the woman opens it and gives a nod, "Thank you for arriving so promptly. Can you please take a seat?" She gives a quick gesutre to sweep about the room for bugs, cameras, or other hidden things. Selina's better at it than she is after all.
    Even if there's nothing up, she -does- need to occasionally mess with people.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle's heels click-click-click with every step as she saunters in. The thief takes her own look around before moving to settle on one of the plush, comfortable chairs. Arms spread across the back, one leg crossing over the other. Green eyes fix on Talia's face and a slow smile touches her red lips. "You realize that we're going to have the whole Manor buzzing. What's on your mind?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would lean back, "Well, girls do just want to have fun." She goes to take one final sweep around. "I have something that needs proper handling in ways that the. . Family would not appreciate." So she needs someone killed or brutalized and whatever the scenario expects that Selina will be very,v ery enthusiastic.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle arches a brow at the opening statement. "Well I'm not a murderer, but you have your assassin-friends for that anyway. But I'm not at all shy about dancing in the shadows between what's legal and what's not. You know that." Selina looks the other woman over for a moment, then asks. "Just how illegal are we talking, here?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would lean back, "The Hand. I'm sure that you're familiar with them. They're taking on a.. Shipment of children that they plan to.. Reprogram. The ones that fail they tend to execute." Her tone is flat. "They need dealt with in ways that won't just leave them battered."

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle's other brow lifts as well. Yes, she's heard of the Hand. Her raised foot bobs a little as well. "Children." she repeats. Selina may be schooled at concealing her body language, but she doesn't bother trying right now. Nostrils flare, green eyes narrowing at the thought. "The children need to be rescued as well." she declares. "I was going to ask you what's in it for me. But that's my price. The children are the priority."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod, "Yes. Those -things- need broken in ways that.." That Batman will not condone. "Don't do anything that you -will- regret." That's why she's going along by her tone of voice. Just to amke sure that the Hand pays. "But I require assistance nad if I take someone from outside of the city there will be notice."

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle nods slowly at that. "I think I understand where you're going with this. We do the job together, then I lead the children out while you return to your comfortable... " she pauses to gesture around the well-appointed room. "...den. Am I missing anything?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would just twitch her lips upwards, "Close enough I suppose." she would offer her hand over. "That means that any.. Issues will end up coming to me rather than you. You were just taking advantage of an opportunity to save the children when a distraction came up."

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle shifts in her seat, reaching out to take the offered hand. "You know that I'll require help to make sure that the children get settled properly." The smile becomes coy. "I may be a world-class thief, but I'm not made of money." Selina shifts her weight as if to rise, but holds for a moment. "We should probably discuss the logistics somewhere else. My visit is going to raise enough questions, even if it's short. Your hotel?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod at Selina, "I can arrange that. At least, I acn give them a place to hide until a more permanent solution can be made with Bruce." Of course he'll find them somewhere to stay where they can be safe. "We'll make usre to have the pieces in place when we move." She would fold her hands together and nod. "Let us go then." She would get up to give a bow.
