lesgeois[A lot can happen in two days.
Diana's spent those days - well, her and Mordred have still gone out. Cautiously, not straying far from the mansion. Despite Mordred's protests, she still doesn't think they're in peak condition.
But they've still gone out. And true to her word, Diana's kept her ear to the ground. When they run across one of those cats this time, instead of killing it, they catch it. Tie a note to its ankle. When it scurries off - Diana can't believe that worked - they're met with a frog a few hours later. A frog? A frog.
Diana's beginning to think she might be losing her mind, especially when the frog croaks to them its terms.
1) Come to the De Leon mansion (Diana makes an aside to Mordred about the De Leons being a flamboyant, 'new blood' kind of family.) after sundown.
2) The servant has to be visible.
3) Show your command spell to the doorman.
Cautiously, Diana agreed. The frog then... hopped off.
They've spent the day before the allotted time preparing. Better safe than sorry, Diana had rechecked her traps and alarms on the mansion, in case this was some sort of plan to get them out of the house.
But the entire thing goes... smoothly? As smoothly as can be expected, anyway. The De Leon mansion is alive with guests of all sorts, and Diana realizes vaguely that unlike most Magi, the De Leon heir is active in normal society. A businessman. The funds supply his research, since his family's too young to secure Clock Tower funding. This must be an actual event, then. For normal people. Odd to invite a servant, and she can see her cloak and Mordred's...very Mordred fashion sense drawing the eyes of the well-dressed crowd. The whispering dies down when she shows the doorman the back of her hand and he nods at her, though.
At least they're willing to accept she and Mordred belong here. De Leon - a foppish man in his early 30s - appears almost immediately, and after a few seconds of chatter ('Cavendish, baby, you should have said it was you!' 'I doubted you'd have invited me if I had,') drags Diana off, mentioning something about Cruz. That must be the other Master in this odd little puzzle.
Over her shoulder, Diana jerks her head upstairs as she's pulled away through the mingling crowd, the hustle and bustle of a well-stocked party. Even she can feel the presence of two servants besides Mordred, vaguely, and so for Mordred the sensation must be incredibly strong. Best to check that out while they have amiable terms for it.
But then Diana disappears, and Mordred's left with dozens of mingling guests and an incredibly well-stocked refreshment table.]
