Leo had only just gotten back to the Curia's London headquarters, where he, Riley, Lia and a few of he Cavaliere were crashing. He left his jacket and boots with a maid before heading upstairs to get a little shut-eye. He'd been off on a mission for roughly two months; he'd just returned to England in the wee hours of the morning. He fully expected to see an infuriated Lia burst through his bedroom door at any minute to scream at him for not keeping in touch.
He smiled at the thought of seeing his girlfriend again. Even when she was furious with him, he loved her. He'd missed Lia while he was off spying for both Riley and the Order. Alliance-building was a tiring business. He didn't like it, he decided. He would leave politics to people who were good at them, like Riley and Anabelle, after everything was said and done.

Lianna was in Diagon Alley for the time being. Her mother was all for her spending time with everyone else. Although, she'd been spending a lot of time at Hogwarts trying not to blow up in anyones faces. She'd fallen asleep in her room and had woken up to the sound of a door closing. She grabbed her knife and opened the door. She'd deduced that it wasn't just any door. In her blue silk jammies, a gift from her mother for her last birthday, she walked to the door and opened it. She crossed her arms.
"So you get back this late, and you don't even come to say goodnight? What kind of boyfriend does that?" she asked pursing her lips. She walked forward, her hair was a bit of a mess and she had a sleep mask on her forehead. A girl has to get her beauty sleep. "I mean I'd understand if it were an seven in the morning, but it's still early. Plus it's been two months. Why didn't you call? Or write? I've been worried sick!! Now come give me hugs! I missed you so much!!" She ran up to hug him.

Yep, there she was in those silly blue pajamas and her equally silly sleeping mask. Leo thought that she looked fine without any of the extra things she added, but she was stubborn and refused to believe him. He'd long since stopped trying to argue with her; he'd learned to pick his fights. It wasn't healthy to argue a lot, especially since their professions were so dangerous. He tried to avoid fighting with her, as a result.
He laughed softly and opened his arms to wrap them around her. She rarely stayed angry with him, especially when he'd been absent for so long because he'd been working. She understood. When she had to attend meetings in Rome, she could be gone for months at a time.
"I missed you, too, Lia," he murmured. "Ti amo."

Lianna smiled and then sat on the bed. Time to catch up, she'd gone to a funeral, and didn't even take part in the battle. She'd been too busy sleeping on the couch in the common room. With her legs crossed she sat on the edge of the bed waiting to hear what'd happened. She wanted to know just about everything happened. She moved her hair behind her ears and started to braid part of it. This was going to be one of their many spill sessions, they always occured when one of them left and came back after however long.
"Okay, so what happened? Am I going to have to do some of mama's paperwork so she'll stay caught up?" she asked, "I love you too, now spill! I wanna know what happened and Riley won't tell me because she knows I'll ask you." That was true.

He sat up with a quiet chuckle and rubbed the back of his head, taking a moment to gather his thoughts. After a moment, he hummed and decided that he had the right words. He smiled softly upon seeing her braiding her hair; she looked so cute when her hair was braided. Not that she ever agreed with him. It was one of those things that they had respectfully agreed to disagree on long ago. You didn't stay together as long as they did without compromising; it just didn't work.
"Well, yes, for starters; you'll have a lot more paperwork to do in the coming months. And Fudge might soon not have a head anymore. He approached the Cavallaria about an alliance. Riley was furious. She wrote home to Ana, who is now en route with Stefan, Marisol and Thomas in tow," he summarized. "On the...ah....other front, Shayne and Mariella have ratified the alliance. They've begun gathering an army."
The Cavallaria were the sworn enemies of the Curia. The two organizations had fought four bloody Civil Wars for control of Italy, all of which were ultimately won by the Curia. For Fudge to approach the Cavallaria was an act of war that Anabelle wouldn't take lying down. The good old Minister would soon learn that the Curia were not a group of people to trifle with.

Lianna kept braiding her hair, if she was keep the anger botteled away a little longer. She'd slowed down a bit with the braiding and pursed her lips. This was just grand! She had to do more work, and spend more time locked away. She layed back and groaned. And there were more people on the way, oh this just got better and better.
"Leo, I'm going to be locked away for a week with all that work." she groaned and grabbed a pillow. Placing it over her face she screamed. "Oh, who's glad about that? Not this pretty face! How am I supposed to get a car and my license if I'm locked away? Mama promised me a car this summer and I am not doing more paper work for it." She threw the pillow and rolled over. "Ana is going to stop by and say hi right? I haven't seen her all year. Also! No girls hit on you while you were away right? I don't have to add any times to my list..?"
Not long after, a fluffy black and white german shepard like dog came bounding in the room. He jumped on the bed and started to lick Leo.
"Shep! Bad boy no, his face isn't for you to give kisses!" she said trying to pull the dog back. He then turned around and started licking her face. "Shep!" she squealed. She pushed him off her and sat up. "Some body missed his mama's boyrfriend!" she was talking in a baby like voice. Then she said, "He wouldn't stop whining after you left, I started to get worried after a few days because you know he doesn't like to whine.."
The dog layed down and flattened his ear to his head. The other ear had been cut off in a fence by the previous owner. Lianna loved the dog, and Shep seemed to love everyone she did. That dog trusted her with his life, not many people did. She had the weirdest soft spot for animals. Unlike people -except for her best friends and boyfriend- they made her feel warm and fuzzy inside. She really hoped she wasn't going to end up like one of those crazy cat ladies. She wasn't going to... right?

Leo's cat, a large ball of orange fluff named Arthur, strolled in. When Leo had initially found the cat as a kitten in a barn, Lia had suggested naming him Soda Pop. At the time, though, Leo had already owned a cream-colored tabby named Soda Pop, so the little kitten had been named Arthur.
Arthur plopped down in Leo's lap and rubbed his cheek against his owner's belly. Leo laughed softly and scratched between the fluff-ball's ears. He was rewarded by Arthur purring at him.
"You missed me, huh buddy? I'll take you with next time," he promised the cat before returning his attention to Lia. "I'll take you driving this summer, I promise. And si, Ana said that she would stop by on her way to the Ministry to meet with the new head-stiff. She told me to give you her regards and said that she hopes that you haven't demoted poor Pyre to head housekeeper, again, but I can see that you have."
Pyre was unnaturally kind-hearted and gentle for a Cavaliere, and Lia didn't think that she was well-suited to her usual role as Lia's personal guard. For that reason, and also because she had a well-hidden soft-spot for the cheerful girl, Leo suspected, Pyre was often placed in the role of head housekeeper by Lia when they were in London. Honestly, Pyre didn't seem to mind, but her mother Marisol did. And it was never wise to anger a woman that the rest of the world called The Demon of Rome.
When Shep jumped up in his lap, Arthur glared at the dog lazily but didn't make any move to do anything about the dog. The two got along much better than Arthur's usually grumpy demeanor would lead the casual observer to believe.
"Oh, I missed you, too, buddy," he cooed.

"Will I be driving?" Lianna asked as she pet her dog. "Well, you know Pyre is sweet but I don't always need protection. I have a dog and you to protect me, who else do I need? And Pyre has been great at cleaning, but when you leave again I'm gonna have to promote her again." She stretched and scratched Arthur's chin, "Hi kitty. He was avoiding me the whole time, made me sad." she pouted still petting the cat.
"Well, that's good, I'll get to see her again." she clapped, "I'm so sleepy now, I'll be in my room. But first answer my question. How many people need to be put on the list?" She wanted her answer. "No answer and I'll put down random names of girls in London.."
Shep barked and jumped off the bed and layed by the door. He kept his head up and then shook, like he didn't want the door opened. "Shep.. I do have to leave.." Lianna shook her head with her fingertips on her forehead.

"Of course you'll be driving, Lia," he replied, rolling his eyes jokingly. "And the girl is trained to act as a guardian to the Curia; you're really under-utilizing her. If Marisol gets here and asks her what she's been up to and she tells her that she's been cleaning, Marisol will be furious. She'll have every right to be furious, too. She trained her daughter to defend you, and you've demoted her to a housekeeper."
Arthur rubbed his cheek against Leo's stomach again, still purring. The cat never missed him this much. He must have been lonely with Leo away.
"Nobody needs to be added to the list, sweetheart," he sighed. "I didn't even talk to women that weren't Ana and her grandmother while I was away."

"But I don't like a lot of protection! And I'll promote her... tomorrow morning.." Lianna said looking around nervously, "And I'll make sure to have her come with me to run some errands... I found the best skull and bones shop. I want to go get some more things before we leave." she leaned against the wall. "Noooo, I don't want her to mad, no, no, no. She get's mad and I die. I don't want to die!! There are so many things I haven't done yet.."
"Good, good," she smiled and sat back down on his bed. Her dog wasn't moving, not even an inch. "Grab your guitar, mi amore. Shep isn't going to move so we might as well make music.." Shep had his head on his paws, and just sat there. He wasn't very old so it was kind of odd that he wasn't moving. "Shep, come on boy, come on up here..." Lianna cooed at the dog, it didn't work, he still lay there. Like a guard dog.

"You don't like it, but it's necessary, especially with he Council convening in London. I don't think I should need to remind you why you're not very popular here after what the Axis Council green-lighted during the London Blitz. And Pyre likes that sort of thing. Get her a gift or two, show her that she's appreciated. I don't think that Pyre will turn on you, but caution never hurts," he advised. "Especially since you've been delegating her job to Aurors lately. She has to be a little bummed."
In truth, Leo mused as he went to get his guitar, he just pitied Pyre. She'd confessed that she'd felt under-appreciated. It looked like she was.
He returned to the bed with his guitar in hand, glancing at Shep.

"Alright, alright! Quit making me feel bad about the girl!!" Lianna rolled her eyes, "I get it! She's a good girl, she's good at what she does!" she flopped back on the bed, "Well, it's good she likes that stuff because that's where I'm taking her." she pulled her hair over her shoulder and started braiding it again.
Shep looked like he was a bit sad, and he was staying quiet, which was weird. "I guess he wants to stay there.." Lianna shrugged. "Which song should we do?"

Leo glanced out the window when the lighting in the room changed and got up from the bed. He crossed the room to the window and paled when what he'd thought he'd seen was confirmed. They weren't supposed to arrive, not for at least a week. That damned impatient Marcus...he must've contacted them.
"Um...Lia," he began. "You might want to see this. I think Shayne's here."

Lianna jumed out of the bed and ran to the window. She swore under her breath and said, "Stay! I'm going to go get changed. I'm not wearing this when they come in. Plus it's still early... I can go pretend to be asleep." she moved Shep out of the way and opened the door. She pulled her knife out of the wall and stuck it in her door. She did a quick change, she'd decided against pretending to be asleep. She got in the hall and heard a laugh, and ran into Leo's room.
"Okay, that was creepy, I just heard someone laugh, and it deffinitly wasn't Shayne." she said gong back to the window. Her kife was in it's holster on her side and she was wearing what she called her tomb raider outfit. It was good for summer wear but quite heavy when it got wet. "What are we going to to? I changed and now Shayne's here? What in the world is going on!?"

Pyre hummed softly when she saw the Auditore arrive. She'd been waiting for his since Gabe sent word the previous week. With the Curia retaking their old London stomping grounds, the Cavallaria had sent their dogs to try to create unrest. She'd see how that went. They'd take the Salla over her dead body. All she had to do was hold the building until the others arrived.
She grabbed her sword and knife off of the roof, slung the sword over her shoulder and strapped the knife to her thigh then swung down through Leo's open bedroom window. She landed on her feet lightly and bowed to Lianna with her signature quirky smile, hair turning electric blue as she thought of the coming battle.
"Wel, I'm glad to see that you're awake. We're under attack, you see, and I would really prefer to not have to wake you two up," she explained.
