Clio grinned a little. "I think I might like you." She paused, glancing toward where the Blood Queen lingered. The other woman had moved ever so slightly closer, choosing the nearest tree that looked climbable to lean against. Her posture suggested fatigue... and pain. Would explain why she hasn't run off yet. "You know... when we get back to the house, you're welcome to stay for a bit. Have a cup of tea... say hi to the cave cat that lives in my living room..."

"So that's what you call your aide/boyfriend huh? I'll do a good cup of earl grey from time to time though..." She replied as though Clio was speaking to her, though she knew she wasn't

Clio rolled her eyes. "No, I call him Zerna. The cave cat is our pet... well. His pet." She grinned a little when the promise of a cup of tea actually drew her query away from the tree. "I think I have some Earl Grey in the cabinet... and probably a dozen others too. I usually drink the Masala Chai though... actually, Zerna's making a pot of that. He'll have it waiting when we get there. I doubt he'll cook anything though... all I've ever seen him make is tea." Her comment brought a snort of amusement from her wary audience. "I know he contacted you... and I know you probably didn't believe it was really him. Considering you thought you killed him." She paused, watching the other woman for any sign that she was about to flee or attack. "You don't believe me either. That's okay... I don't blame you. I know how hard it is to look at your own face anywhere other than a mirror." She knew that part of Zerna's message had to have been some way to prove that he was really who he claimed to be; otherwise they wouldn't have even gotten this far. "You're terrified of snakes because you were bitten by one when you were seven. Your first dog was a stray that you adopted off the street when you were nine... you named him Maculis because he had spots, and you thought the Latin word was prettier." She hesitated, wondering if this was even working. "And if that doesn't convince you... you met Zerna when Jhu beamed him to your apartment. Naked. And secretly you're glad she did, even though you constantly tell her that you're going to get her back someday."

The words were convincing, but still she hesitated. She still didn't know where this hidden partner was or whether there was a weapon pointed at her. But the reiterated promise of tea - and obvious familiarity with Zerna's habits - seemed promising. "All right then. But call your partner out where I can see her or the deal's off."

"this is the badass who tried to kill your beloved 'cave-cat'? not even a shot fired, brought in with the offer of tea?" Scarlett commented half bewildered, and half disappointed at the lack of need for all t he intel theatrics spent on the mission thus far

"More like the the unspoken promise that he's not going to be angry with her for what she did. Come down here and take a look, and you'll understand why."

Scarlett paused for a moment and raised an eyebrow at the request "She's a telepath too right? you sure you haven't been 'hacked' or something? because that just sounds like the worst tactical thing you've said today" She complained "how do you know she's not just luring you and any team you may have to size things up before attacking?"

"Because if she was doing that, you wouldn't be arguing with me! Fine, you want proof, here." Rolling her eyes at Scarlett's incessant whining, Clio turned her blocking device back on. "See? Now get your butt down here."

"I probably would have gotten more action chaperoning a highschool dance..." She muttered as she effortlessly jumped out of the tree "well... not that we have no element of surprise..." She added as she walked up

"I'm not surprised you don't recognize me from my voice. Scar tissue from an accident a few years ago." She lowered the hood of her cape so that Scarlett could see her face.

Scarlett did a mild double take before furrowing her brows and then gaining a slightly annoyed look as she turned to Clio "Just how many of 'you' are there?" She asked Clio in an almost sarcastic tone

"So far? Three. And if you think it's confusing, you just wait until one of your alternates shows up. You'll think you're going insane."
