IC: She nods, forcing herself to keep it together. "So we stay here until given orders?"

"That's right, now we need to sit right and wait. Vlad will have some way f can't contacting us." Ivan said as he took a seat on his couch.
IC: She sits down as well, taking a deep breath. "Alright." She runs her fingers through her hair, forcing herself to remain in control of her emotions. The souls are again, not helping with that. She closes her eyes, focusing on fighting them down.
OOC:
"None of the Elders admitted to being caught so all of us are on lockdown." Ivan said with a sigh.
IC: "So we don't know who they know about?" She asks, suddenly very worried. What if someone saw us? Oh no, if I got Ivan killed… She forces herself to stop thinking about it, freaking out won't help. Instead, she focuses on her souls, fighting them into silence.
OOC:
Ivan takes a glance outside, " It doesn't seem like it's us, but if they know I'm an Elder they'll have countermeasures in place....." He said looking back to Vienna, " Dint worry, I don't die that easily."
IC: Vienna nods, trying not to get overwhelmed with panic. She bites her lower lip out of habit flinches as she remembers why she was trying not to do that now, and sighs shakily. "Alright… ok, think I'm good now." She murmurs.
OOC:
Ivan watched the traffic below their lift and noticed something. Several black SUV type cars had been circling the building for a few minutes now, " They are watching us, and we must assume they can here us." Ivan said heading to the kitchen for a blood bag.
IC: She takes a deep breath. "Alright then." She says, intentionally keeping the fear out of her voice. Act natural, like you have nothing to hide.
OOC:
"So how was your workload today?" Ivan asked as he drained the bag into a cup
IC: She tilts her head, mask back up. "Well, I'm not sure what to compare it to, but it seemed like more than I had yesterday. What about you?" She asks casually.
OOC:
"About the usual load until that meeting was called. There were wild accusations everywhere, nothing got done in the end." Ivan said with a sigh
IC: "That's a shame. I still don't understand what's going on, I'm afraid." Knowing they could hear her, she doesn't know what she can say, so she's just going with fake ignorance until she's given something to work with. She thinks it'll work out, this seems like a 'keep it hushed up to reduce panic' scenario, so maybe she isn't supposed to know as far as these people are concerned.
OOC:
"There's no way you would know. You just joined the company after all. Don't worry about it, this sort of thing happens every few hundred years so there's nothing to worry about." Ivan assured her as he took a seat next to her.
IC: She smiles, a bit reassured by that. Ok, so no need to worry about a full scale war? Good; I'm likely too weak to survive without someone holding my hand, and I don't want to put him in anymore danger than I must. I suppose it's odd that I have that instinct. I barely knew Ivan before all this… which started when I took a truck for him… huh.
OOC:
Ivan sighed and laid his head back against the couch. It had been such a long day after all, with his fellow Elders arguing and the humans keeping an eye on them.
IC: Vienna leans back a bit as well, forcing herself to relax. "Feel like watching the news?" She asks, keeping her tone casual. If we do, maybe we'll learn more about how much they know, who they're talking about. she thinks.
OOC:
"Sure that sounds like a wonderful plan." He said handing her the TV remote, " I don't watch tv that much so here you go."
IC: She smiles and takes it, making a point not to look toward the vehicles surrounding the building. She turns on the TV, and flicks through channels, searching for anything relevant.
OOC:
"So? Find anything good?" Ivan asked as the channels flipped from alone to the next.
