Cast of Characters: Emma Frost, Talia al Ghul




Emma Frost has posed:
It's a rather quiet evening. Emma Frost, fallen White Queen of the club seemed quite content to have her own small corner of it. With individuals giving her a wide berth for whatever reason; maybe it was just a quiet evening, the blonde wasn't even attempting to drive them away.
    Emma Frost would go to take a sip of some wine she was having, then going to slowly cut a slice off of the very well done meat she was eating.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Another arrival to the Hellfire Club, with no fanfare more than any other. Talia al Ghul strides inside with the confidence of someone who owns the place. Her sharp gaze quickly takes in the scene - practiced skill at always ensuring knowledge of exits, entrances, and the personnel around. Her gaze lingers briefly on the woman eating alone, but that itself does not particularly stand out - she was arriving to eat on her own as well.

As an attendant walks up, she states her intentions - dinner. Perhaps some wine.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would glance over at the woman entering, identifying her by face. Talia Al Ghul. Little known, rich heiress.. But the mere fact sh was a part of the Club and had so little of her or her business known was enough to at least get Emma's passing attention. Everyone was in the club for a reason, after all. And what was that..
    Emma very well knew what it meant when one checked all the exits and did a standard perimeter sweep. So extensively trained in combat. Always a useful bit. Casually giving a wave over of invitation.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The motion attracts Talia's gaze. A smile slips across her face, and she gives a brief nod. "I will dine over at the table," she offers to the attendant, before striding past him and making her way over to join Emma's table.

"I appreciate the invitation." She stands for a moment, as if waiting for Emma to confirm if it was a full invitation to sit at the table.

Emma Frost has posed:
Professional. Trained well. Veteran maybe? Emma Frost would smile, "A pleasure. I don't believe I've had the privilege to have encountered you before." Emma would offer with the smile of someone that was taking a few moments to gauge wehre she recalled the other woman from.
    "Talia Al Ghul, correct?" Her firstly doing the name how someone that spoke only English and had no idea of how other languages would say it.. then makinga s how of 'correcting' herself to enunciate it properly.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
"Your records serve you well," replies Talia. "Or your general knowledge. But yes." She offers a smile in return, although somewhat guarded, as she moves to take a seat opposite Emma. "I am the latest scion of the Al Ghul family." She studies the woman opposite her for a moment. "And who are you, other than my well informed dining companion?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "I'm sure that you're the best one by far. Your family has a reputatoin of excellence, so I'm sure you've earned the position by merit." Some very faint things here but likely ones good to use. Those who earned such things competitively appreciated having their ego stroked and it acknowledged.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
"There is something of a legacy to uphold, to be sure," replies Talia, as she continues to watch Emma. "And I do have tremendous merits, so thank you." Another smile for the woman. "Now that we have discussed me and my legacy - can I ask what yours is?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Emma Grace Frost, of Frost Enterprises. I took over the family business from my father when it was having some financial difficulties and convicned the board that a fresh start was needed." Flashing a bright smile to indicate what 'convince the board' meant.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
"Ah, now that is something that my father would most certainly appreciate. I hope that yours did, as well." Talia inclines her head towards Emma, a look of respect on her face. "And I assume that you led it to a resounding success?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Oh, at the time, most certainly not. And even now.. Well, I would presume not. But his payout for the.. Transition has given him quite the comfortable life since so any regrets he have would come off as -quite- insincere."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
A soft chuckle. "I suppose the goal of parents may often be for their children to surpass then, but they never seem to want to acceot it when it happene." Talia's eyes sparkle with amusement. "My father would hold on forever if he could."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would mm, "Well, you sound like you're on good terms with him." She would offer in a light line for information. Talia seemed to have been fully sincere with all of her comments so far, at least wtihout readin gher mind.. So no need to ask how she might wish to pursue things ofr herself.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
"Oh yes. we are close, to say the least." Talia sniles towards Emma. "He keeps tabs on me, i check on him." She grins. "And sone day I will surprise hin..."
