Meeting Lilah Morgan (open to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
freelilah)
There were worse ways to pass one's time than to open up business negotations with a woman of mystery. Sloane had dealings with Wolfram and Hart before, mostly concerned with the Credit Dauphine cover for SD-6, but he himself, as a private person, had never been a client. Huge and ruthless organisations he could not control were not exactly trustworthy.
On the other hand, any lawyer serving for Wolfram and Hart would know their business, or would be dead. Lilah Morgan appeared to be very much alive, and rather intriguingly not listed as a lawyer acting in any current case, something which he had checked out, using the APO access to the relevant databases without hesitation. She had been head of the Los Angeles special projects department, as she had mentioned, but no activity was listed since. All of which opened up a can of interesting possibilities.
Arvin Sloane had no intention of telling a stranger just what he had in mind, but he decided some preliminary dealings, perhaps involving some of his less traceable bank accounts from his time with OmniFam, would be a good way to find out whether Lilah Morgan was the right person for what he privately termed "the project".
His pardon agreement banned him from any Rambaldi research, unless, he thought cynically, said research would be to the government's advantage. Well, there were other ways. Nadia's current state was due to a Rambaldi formula Elena had injected her with. It stood to reason that somewhere, in some manuscript by the Master which Sloane had somehow not managed to get hold on so far, there might be a clue for a cure. Of course, he had tapped all resources known to him by now. Except one. Wolfram and Hart was rumoured to have the greatest collection of manuscripts and artifacts known to man. And he needed something - or someone - to open that collection to him.
If Lilah Morgan turned out to be the wrong person, well. Then he would still have spent some hopefully agreeable hours dining at Orris with what a vague memory told him was an attractive brunette, and what her comments so far had shown to be an intelligent woman.
There were, indeed, worse ways to spend one's time.

Something about being dead has increased her appreciation for "The Four Quartets." Probably not a preference that bears too much analysis.
As for the possibilities of this meeting, though -- Lilah is ready to file it as a success, once he offers her the opera tickets. "Thank you. It's been much too long since I've attended the opera."
Wesley, she thinks, might accept the invitation, but she'll have to see how their next meeting goes. Besides, he seems most suspicious of her when she offers gifts. There is also that intriguing Bruce Wayne character, who seems to be able to buy anything he wants, and thus might be amused by a woman making the offer. And then, the little artist, the Fisher girl. . .
Yes, so many possibilities. Including selling them for ready cash.
"Now." She looks at the dessert menu. "I believe the chocolate torte was actually described as 'sinful', and I must confess, that is very much my weakness." Sin, chocolate, whatever. She'll allow the man to draw his own conclusions.
