(1101) Eternal Court XI

[Twist]

Twist let her body drop in a slight curtsey, managing to make it look graceful despite the short dress, and stepped back. Turning she was about to survey the room to see if certain Kindred she had been considering approaching were around when she came face to face with Thomas.

Smiling warmly she nodded, "Of course- what can I do for you Mr. O'Connor?"

Twist & Thomas continue here...

[Max Heinz]

*Max raises a questioning eyebrow as to why Wooding's appearance would cause such a reaction in Martha. Unless the man was naked; and then he imagined she'd turn as deep a shade of red as a Kindred can manage and turn herself in little circles trying to decide which way to run.

Then he remembers where Wooding was, or at least where Max left him. He turns to find the poor man still dirty and blast-damaged, and runs after the Keeper to help her with the man.

He gets there just in time to see Martha has things well in hand, and decides to stay back. Chris would probably prefer the nurturing touch of a female than Max's help. Though these days, one can never tell. For just a moment, Max wonders where Argent is when you need him...

Once Wooding is down and comfortable, Max makes his way over to the other male Kindred, and holds his hand out to Chris.* Sorry about the rude awakening, I guess they need to clear out the closet a little more often around here... *Max brings the joke out with a slight smile, trying to gauge the man's reaction to waking up in a room full of torpid Kindred.*

[Thomas Connor]

"Archon I wished to speak with you regarding a personal matter." The normally reserved, well at least in public, Mekhet whip wonders how much information he wishes to reveal openly in court. Respect for the Kindred he was speaking with defeats any caution he might have, he would inform her why he wished to meet with her and then the Archon could decide if it was worthy of her time. "I have a few questions about the First Estate."

[Lesingnon]

A bit disappointing, and he took a few moments to mull his options. Ultimately deciding that it would be best not to press. "I understand, Sire. And I would not consider it an emergency, though I am inclined to lend it some measure of urgency. May I schedule a meeting with you, then?"

[West]

Asa's eyes widened slightly and he cocked his head, as if making sure he heard Wilhelm properly.

Finally he held up a thumb and pinky and mouthed the word, Called. Called.

"Good evening, Mr. Von Schusten," he said.

Maybe Wilhelm could miss three hints in a row.

A hat trick.

[Chris Wooding]

A little smile appears on Chris' face. Humor was good to distract him from his bad condition. He couldn't think of a real good answer, but it was at least polite to answer the man. 'Yeah, though on the other side, I at least wasn't alone in there. For a month, I was in company with very kindred bodies.'

Now Chris took some breath, only to sigh thereafter. 'Any bloodhunts I've missed in the meantime?' You never know how much could have happened in the time you're gone.

[Martha Villiers]

Martha looks very worried at Wooding's injuries. She offers a short curtsy to excuse herself "I shall get water, a cloth and return to clean you up a little, sir." and she begins to hobble away - intending to get some water and a few cloths from a nearby wash room.

[Lesingnon]

Ahh damn...oftentimes he wished he knew and could read the Prince better. Now perhaps more than ever. Oh well, nothing for it now.

"Good evening, Your Majesty." He pauses for just a fraction of a second after speaking on the off chance there was anything else Asa wanted to say, though he doubted that. Then he offered the Prince another bow, and left him to his evening.

[Phoenix]

The young Carthian nods at Asta words. Anyways, he was not the kind to judge kindred by their belonging to a covenant or a lack of it.

" No worries. As I said, a lot of kindred are independant here. You should have no problem fitting in. As for myself, I claim allegiance to the carthian movement. But let's put those considerations aside for the time being. "

Better not to bore her with Carthian dialectict, especially when there could be a lot of other topics which could be of interests to the both of them.

" Anyways, Covenant is not the only way to belong to something. The blood and clan are important too. You may want to talk to Senorita Regent Brady. She gave feeding rights to all mekhet in her domain, that may be of interest to you.

So, who was your trip to the city ? Having been nomad, I know its not always easy. And as I may be called to travel once in a while, I'd be glad to exchange some tips on kindred long distance travelling.

May I ask you how you did get there ? "

[West]

Asa moves away from Wilhelm as their talk concludes, and gives the crippled Mekhet a curious look as he and Twist begin talking.

First the Bypass, and now Twist? My, he is a bold one. I can hardly fault his taste, though.
