Vlad licked Cossette's wrist clean of blood. He smiled, wiping his lips with his hand and cleaning the blood off it. It would be such a shame to waste such delicious blood. That was a meal already though he would have preferred biting her on the neck. He pinned her to the nearest wall and said, "I am aware of your plans... Mrs. Moldovan. And I suspect they are not pretty. Do tell. I would like to hear them." He stared right at her without moving. Her wrists, he pinned to the wall so there was no escape. At this point, his violent side was surfacing although his naturally passive behavior was still dominant at this point.

"You'll have to be more specific than that, dear husband." Cossette, even pinned to the wall as she was, wore that smug little smirk she so adored. "We're both horrible schemers, aren't we? You know just as well as I that it's so hard brewing up just one." After this, she let out a faint chuckle, her eyes boldly meeting his. Cossette knew damn well that he couldn't afford to kill her, that she was probably his only protection against the Order. It certainly wasn't above her to use and abuse this fact every chance she got.

Vlad began to chuckle as well, saying, "You are my wife indeed." He closed what little distance was between them as though going in for a kiss but instead, whispering to her ear, "Yes, yes. I know what you mean. And I also know how to kill you without anyone ever having to find out that you died. Pray tell, you are not thinking of the exact same thing towards me?" He moved back and resumed staring at her, awaiting an answer.

"You have more weaknesses than I do. Exploiting them would take absolutely no effort on my part." Cossette murmured, her lips spreading out slightly to form a broader smile. "I'm a generous person, though, so I don't think I will just yet. I don't think you will, either. To end me is to end the advantage over the Order that you have now."

"True. True." Vlad said, nodding his head and looking away. He leaned in closer and kissed her neck a few times, saying, "I would give you the same vulnerabilities. Then we could be vulnerable monsters in the light. Then again, the order. The order is so pesky, hm? How nice it would be to hunt again" He let go of Cossette and turned back with hands in his pocket, approaching the curtain and opening it just a bit to the blinding light. It hurt the vampire's pale skin and blinded him though he did not flinch. "Fascinating, isn't it? With such a simple thing, you could subdue a powerful creature. The vampire." He said, closing the dark curtains once again and looking at his wife. "I do not destroy my pawns. I only dispose of them when they are no longer fun to play with" A smile crept up Vlad's face as he thought about it.

"In that case, I must be a Queen." Cossette moved herself from the wall, walking towards Vlad up until she was only a foot or so away from him. "Do not worry about the Order, husband. So long as I am well taken care of, they will not dare step one foot near this estate." After a few more moments, she jokingly said, "If you are that hungry for a hunt, we could just invite unpopular nobles over for a 'masquerade'. So long as you are careful enough not to get caught, hunting them as sport could be amusing."

Vlad nodded at her idea. "That is very pleasant, my dear. I wonder what's in it for you? You wouldn't suggest something without benefits for yourself, no?" Vlad liked the idea very much although since his wife suggested it, he worried about what she would have in store. He did no trust her one bit. At the same time, he was very much interested in what she planned to do even if it may result in his death.

"You'll be paying for my new dresses and jewelry for the party, of course." Cossette pointed out, as if this were the most obvious thing imaginable. Knowing her, it probably was. As anyone would guess, though, there was far more to it than that. She could also use the opprotunity to get a better feel for the nobility around these parts, to see just how far she had fled from the men of her past. If nothing else, she could use the festivities as a chance to show Vlad that his secret would be exposed the moment he displeased her.

"Ah! But of course" Vlad continued, "Money is no object. As long as you don't plan on draining these riches to the point that we have to wear rags" Vlad joked. It certainly was not a pleasing idea for him and especially not for his wife. This was but a subtle warning to Cossette not to spend so much that the couple would be plunged in poverty. If arguments could be so heated while they are wealthy, what more if both of them had no money? It would simply be a disaster.

"I'm not going to spend too much. Just enough to guarantee that I look the best amongst whichever sows are invited." Cossette laughed at the mere notion that her spending habits would send them into poverty if she wasn't careful, no matter how true it might be. It wasn't like buying a few pretty trinkets and matching dress would cost all that much, right? Besides, Cossette absolutely despised the thought of not being the most beautiful woman around, especially in her own home! One could say that Cossette was many things. Vain was most certainly one of them.

Vlad chuckled and said from the top of his head, "'You may not always be the most beautiful, my dear... But for a fact, you will always be the most talked about... Controversial lady in the land" Come to think of it, it would be the perfect time to call over Cossette's exes. It would be a nice... 'surprise' for his wife. It was a masquerade anyway. It's not like everyone will automatically know who is who.

"Somehow, that doesn't comfort me in the least." Cossette spoke in a flat-tone, unamused by what Vlad had said. It was one truth she wasn't too proud of. All it meant was that more people wanted her dead. People who didn't need her nearly as badly as Vlad did. To put it simply, it was a position she did not favor. Had she known what her husband had in mind for the Masquerade, she would be completely and utterly livid.

"Rest assured that no one can harm you as long as you are my possession" Vlad said, referring to her like a valuable object but an object nonetheless. There were things that Vlad possessed that he didn't like very much but it mattered to him what happened to them as long as they were in his possession. He doesn't like his 'toys' being touched by other people even if he doesn't use them himself, simply because they were his possession.

"I should hope, for both our sakes, that you aren't simply spitting hot air when you say that." Cossette replied, that smug smirk she held before now lost for the moment being. In its place was a weary look, with a tinge of bitterness added in. "I...I will be in my room, if you have need of me." she muttured softly, thinking it best that she find something to distract herself from her fear of death. She needed to remind herself that she was indeed safe, that this nagging feeling of everything being out to get her was nothing more than baseless paranoia.

"Well then. Think about who you want to invite" Vlad said, heading back to the bedroom. "I'll be preparing the documentations for the party then" He turned back to begin drawing up a list of people to invite as well as the general specifications for the masquerade. White roses were a must, as always.
