His face made no sign of confusion, it was obvious the man wasn't aware he was a threat that nearly died on his living room floor. "Truthfully if you are as he believes then I am honestly interested in the protection spell, but I wanted to talk. I wanted to know what kind of man Kenneth really is."

realizing what the man was he rolled his eyes. "is nothing off limits? you are another lover aren't you? you may come in but take note if you grow violent my ward will have you put out. leveau thinks i am unable to take care of myself. he has never cared before but i am in no position to question it."

Galvin blinked behind the shades. He was under the assumption that he and Cirro were the only ones, but it seemed judging by the others tiresome tone that it was not the case. "Excuse me... but did you say another?" He walked through the threshold following behind Cirro. "Never mind we can get to that later. I really wanted to know if you are alright."

he shrugged. "i suppose as one can be under house-arrest, or do you mean from before?" when the other gave an affermation he looked over his shoulder. "it took a lot of work and still things have not gone well, you were graced by the little goddess of passionate love when you broke my circle though it is a corrupted magic and incomplete, i was cursed for breaking the spell and my desire has become his obsession. leveau is not a loyal man though he is much too controlling to let go either. i do not envy eva but the casual lovers i am not pleased with. he smells of them and though he will not stray the smell of strangers is not high on my list of desired things." he came to the table and sitting down offered the man a spot opposite. "forgive me for spouting such though when you asked my health, i have few who i can speak to as equals and as a new lover you are soon to be one. your wish is for protection?"

This only served to open up more questions as he took the seat. He started by answering the simplest. "Yes, for my brother. He needs more then I do. and..." He rubbed his temples attempting to think over what Cirro said. "So let me get this straight, by pulling you out of the chalk circle I cursed you and Kenneth and now hes a whore ... was... is a whore? But he isolates you?" He stopped speaking waiting for clarification.

shaking his head he tried again. "he is a loose man by nature, i was trying to tie his loyalties closer to myself and instead you were tied to him, because i broke the spell i have upset her and this has made things more difficult." he spared the man a small smile. "what sort of protection is your brother looking for?"

"I don't understand, it is my fault you broke the circle so shouldn't the punishment come down on me instead?... That is also very strange." Galvin rubbed the back of his neck. "I am sure if he didn't feel something he would have tried to kill me 3 times for pulling you out of the circle." He had to think about the other question asked and realized he had already learned more then he ever knew about ... Ambrosia, Leveau, Kenneth, ... Dick. "What sort of protection can you offer. He has had a run of bad luck and usually isn't good with females any more but would like a wife."

he made a sympathetic face. "that is two things unless his bad luck is only with women, you need a find love charm not a protection potion." standing again he left to get the things he needed. "he will need to do this by himself in a quiet place so he may concentrate only on the magic," he opened a drawer and pulled out several lengths of yarn. "what is his favorite color?"

Galvin smiled. "I thought he could use protection against the bad luck and that, that is what was causing his lack of girl problems. His favorite color is green." Galvin watched the mysterious man move about the house. "Do you get out much?"

"maybe, but also it could be a lack of good lck with women that could be hindering other aspects of his life, to know more i would need to talk to him directly." he found his scissiors and cut three feet of each color. "have him knot the strands together and think good thoughts about finding a lover who would be good to him, someone he would like to marry." he smiled to himself this time. "tell him to be practical in his desires." folding the threads he put the scissors and the lengths. he found a white cloth to put the yarn in. "i will also make a tonic to ease his mind, if the problems persist he may come back himself." handing the small parcel to the other he went over to the table where he kept the herbs and spices. "i leave the house sometimes but not often, i am very busy most of the time, and no, i broke it i am to be punished, intention is unimportant only action when dealing with circles, i asked a favor and when it was granted i repaid the favor with disrespect. there is a fine line between meaning and doing"

"I can see if you will meet him, he does not travel easily." One hand easily replace the other under his chin as we watched the man move about his house. First impressions certainly weren't the lasting ones. He found himself thinking about the man that appeared to be a drug addict and his lover. He toyed with the idea of asking him for something instead he asked "How did you... find yourself in amoured by Leveau?"

he barked a laugh. "when i was still the 'poor crazy white kid' i lived in my mother's apartment in the poorer part of town, one of my repeats wanted a charm to make her rich sugardaddy give her a fine apartment in the middle of the city. i will not lie, i too wanted a lover to buy me a fine red apartment with mirrors and glass and wood and silk everywhere, but as a man i lack the 'assets' to acquire such things and my mother taught me never to abuse the loa's generosity so i contented myself with stories of this man with rich red hair like blood, fine white skin like porcelain and eyes like stone. i met this mysterious man when my customer tried to take his hair for a charm." he blushed. "he came to break my arm i ended up breaking their union. he likes to collect odd things as it turns out."

Galvin raised his eye brow. Hopefully this meant that he was not going to be come a staple on Kenneths lust diet. He didn't consider himself odd. "Then this Ioa truly gave you what you wanted. Though it seems that Kenneth has an odd habit of beathing things up." He couldn't help but rub the area were the bite mark had left a scar. "I am not expected to bring him flowers or take him out for coffee am I?"

"i did not ask for him intentionally but yes they did though... he has only hit me once and despite his callousness he is not abusive i am the one who sets the perimeters, he is content as long as i stay loyal only to him and i let him have his once-a-week reprieve." sitting down across from the man he handed over the newly mixed concoction. "have him seep this in boiling water, he may take it cold or hot but may only sweeten it with honey nothing else."

Galvin suddenly felt like he was in trouble. He had not seen the man in a little over two weeks... his guilt turned into confliction. To him it was just a fling, the man that Cirro described did not exist for him. "So you have to be loyal but he is allowed to have me, and this... eva person?... and others?" Galvin looked at the tonic realizing he was no closer to getting the answers to what he really wanted to know. "That does not seem fair."

the smile that had left him returned. "this is my house, but i cannot afford it, these are my clients but most of them would not know i exist, it is only unfair if i was not given something of equal value for my not noticing. you look to be around my age and yet you talk like a small child. 'fair' is a myth"
