Alright, lets see how it goes.

Can I roll intimidation here? Because she did prove herself capable, and at the very least, has very powerful friends he might not want to cross.
Or possibly even Persuasion? Emma surviving might mean she's a 'player' in the supernatural world (which she is!) Maybe she can convince him he owes her a debt for 'getting in her way', that he now needs to repay?

Absolutely! That is definitely Persuade with threats!

You have to roll a 2 to fail! And a 6 gets you a perfect...just don't roll more than an 8... :)

Just right. An '11'

My word, I go away for eight hours and miss so much! Emma’s been busy.

I don't know about 'easily', but yes, it should not be too hard to recover your DPs favour. Doing a good job with Viviana might do it, or even recovering this situation with a rival?
losing two of my three playbook features for one miss seems like a very hard move, is all I meant, so hopefully it’s reversible without too much of an ordeal.

And I’m glad we’re in the same page vis a vis the nakedness.

We may have gotten a little overeager. Sorry.

I think Emma's story is mostly complete, now, anyway. So we may shortly have to wait for everyone else to catch up.

True, but they all come from the same place. (Unless they don't, which could be a thing to discover.)
Don't piss your Dark Patron off, they are your patron and you serve at their pleasure. :)

I do have more free time available now, though I hope it won't stay like that for long, as much fun as this has been (plus, I was on a roll with the dice. Had to take advantage of it... ;) )
I still want to have some interaction with Henry, and Kat, back at their room, but we can run it at the pace it would require for everyone else to catch up.

It is always so hard to predict how much time people will have or need. We all want to make use of those moments when everyone in a scene is available at the same time, but it can get a little overwhelming for everyone else. If we had some way to predict these things we could have spun this off into its own thread, but that doesn't actually help anything and those predictions fail all the time, ending up with many threads with a handful of posts. :(

I am stepping away for 12 hours, anyway. We can have a chat with Henry and Kat tomorrow, at a more leisurely pace.

(in RP) "You're working for me now, Kat" she said it with unmistakable authority, mostly for Sinclair’s benefit, ... "Maybe next time, we’ll have a more… enjoyable partnership. ..."...
I am not sure your taking his woman changes this. You are essentially Overlooking a Harm done to you [ref], so they Owe you a Debt. 'Sin is not disputing this, so you can mark it and call it in if you get a 'next time'. We can mark it with 'Sin, but you can try Call it in with any member of the Ivy Club.

This assumes you are 'forgiving/overlooking the harm'?

Yes, this is what she implied, and meant. This is especially true once it turns out Kat wasn't really 'his', but is working for someone else Emma will now have to deal with
