(2504) April Consilium

[Aurora]

A smile and nod to Asclepius, “I’m not doing too bad and yourself?” taking a drink from her can.

Putting a free hand into one of her pockets and looking to Chambers, “I see two significant steps forward for the Consilium.” Maybe she should have stopped and picked up cupcakes or something. A Hierarch and Charter, it was a day to celebrate. Or a bottle of whiskey or something.

When Skye approached, “It’s good to see you as well.” Lowering her head, “Of course, just let me know when and I’ll make the time.” Being self-employed meant she could always make the time.

Single nod to Thirteen, “Glad to hear it. Brought some of my home-brew if you were interested. I can’t cook, so it’s really the only thing I have to contribute.” Shrugging. Unless she wants to buy something, and she didn’t feel like it today. And you’re not supposed to drink alone, so she brings it here. Cause no Phoenyx.

Returning the nod to Witch, “Hi Witch, good to see you, hope you’ve been well.” Greets the blonde. “Love the dress, looks really comfortable.” And it did.

[Eidolon]

Eidolon walked in and yes the new Emissary for the Free Council knew he was late to the meeting. Dressed up in a quick outfit he grabbed, he had been distracted with his newly opened business. He was holding a couple of cases of drinks one alcoholic one of the non-alcoholic variety. "Hey all sorry I am late, I hope I am not disrupting the meeting much." As he went placed the beverages near the table with the food.

He then looked for a free seat, wanting to be professional for his first Consilium as the Emissary of the Free Council.

[Asclepius]

His smile continued due to Chambers Greeting. “I have been well Hierarch, I have another task that has been assigned to me on top of my self set ones. No doubt it will all be a juggling act, but the effort will be worth it.” He looks over at the table of food offerings that were left. “We truly do have some gifted and kind hearted souls that take the time to make this food, don't we.” Even if he had not eaten much of it in the past, an appreciation was certainly overdue in his book for the effort. “Excellent I shall grab one now then.”

A clear smile on his face as Skye addressed him as Talon Provost. He mimicked the wave she gave him back, a Traditional salute is given back to Skye, before relaxing for conversation. “No it certainly did not create any hindrance to me. I am glad you had time for such things, no doubt it was a weight off your chest once it was done. All is well with me, I am excited to hear what the meeting will hold for us all.”

His smile kept as he was glad to receive Thirteen's greeting. “I am glad to hear things are just the usual, after all it is better then something unexpected and unknown. I often find some comfort in predictability, you know what you are getting. It's when things deviate, that it all goes up the wall.”

He noticed witch had entered by her greeting to the Hierarch and councillors. Due to her lack of greeting to the rest, he felt it better to offer a silent wave and a smile to her as he came into her view. Not feeling the need to force conversation to those that do not invite it.

“I am glad to hear, I myself am doing well thank you.” He was glad to receive a smile, another reassurance in some small way that things were all okay.

Watching as Eidolon made his way into the room, laughed a little before taking a page from the stack for himself and also extending one out the Eidolon as he spoke. “Don't worry about it, we haven't started yet. No disruption caused, here you might need this today”

[Cavendish]

A blank white box, almost conspicuously blank. As if Cavendish had bought it from a store a half hour ago. Inside fresh assorted pastries, a little of this and a little of that. The man himself is in a dark suit with a deep burgundy dress shirt. Overlaying the shirt is a pentacle on a small chain. A knick-knack, a trinket, but one he cherishes deeply. Something from before his Awakening that still fits his new world.

The Acanthus Councilor makes his way into Consilium. Nodding to the Heirarch and Councilors. "Good to see everyone. I'll get these over to the table." Raising the pastry box every so slightly.

[Chambers]

The Obrimos had been around for a while but contributed little of note and left less of an impression. And so his response to Skye carry no sense of urgency. "Our population is fluid that just seems to be the way of things." Mages came and went. "Providing they don't end up dead in the paper." Not wishing any harm on the absent arrow. "Then they are are just the next to follow the pattern." And if they did end up dead in the paper then the situation would join the list of concerns to address.

Seems the food bug might have spread. "Anything provided is appreciated. Do you cook much?" And what mages choose to bring was always a point of curiosity, no less for Thirteen.

Witch arrival gets a warm smile. "Councillor Witch, good to see you." After what she had expressed about the position when the three Moros had met her taking it up had not been a certainty but he was glad she had. "Have you had any trouble over the last month?" Given the potential of investigators or hunters that she was present was a good sign.

Conceding Auroras point with inclination of his head. "True, for today I referred to the charter. It's been in the works for the better part of a year." Exams, meetings, planning and discussions. "And this could not have come to pass without your help." Her experience and expertise had been the key to the entire thing. "For all that you've done. Thank you." Said genuinely. She was not one for the spotlight so no more is said but those present would not be benefitting as they were without her efforts.

Eidolon arrival gets a quirked eyebrow. "The doors were open, we haven't started yet. Just the pre meeting catch up. Welcome in Eidolon." Noting the contribution. "That's very kind of you." As nothing was required every contribution was indeed appreciated.

Skye having used proper titles makes him kick himself a little internally having missed one. "I apologise Provost Asclepius." Actually had he known that? Recent events had swept it from him if he had. "I meant no disrespect there." But he would make the effort to remember going forward. "There always sees more to do then we think we can handle hey. But yet we finding ourselves rising to the challenge." It was that or crumble and tee consequences for them if they did were much greater. "I wish you luck with your endeavours." The arrow had not specified and so he had not asked what they were exactly.

Another arrival, the mages of the city seemed to be in good form for time keeping. "Welcome Councillor Cavendish." A nod and warm smile at his contribution. "Anywhere is fine. That's very good of you." Between the mages they had a three course meal more or less set up. "Will you be wanting a copy of the charter for the ladders records?" A copy would kept publicly of course but this was the ladders bread and butter.

[Skye]

Seeking eye contact as she answers the Hierarch.
”You are not incorrect, our numbers are in a constant flux, yet with recent events I would prefer knowing than speculation.” Papers was bad, but a silent unknown death was not exactly ideal either. ”We shall soon know I guess, thank you for your time, it will be an enjoyment to read your new notes for this meeting once they are done.” Not having long before the meeting would start, and not wanting to leave anything that needed more than a look or brief word to wrap up.

Lightly tilting her head with a warm look at Thirteens words.
”I am glad to hear that.” Noticing the perhaps self consciousness at the comments with an internal thought to be more careful in the future. ”If you haven´t yet so would I disclose the interest of which we have discussed prior with Asclepius if you would like to share them with someone who would be more well versed and do have a deeper level of interest in the field.”

Keeping her lips neutral instead offering a thankful look to her councilor.
”Thank you, I will likely contact you in the first half of May, along with further details.” Now was not the time to dig into such matters.

Waving towards the warlock.
”Hiya Eidolon.” Not feeling the need to say anything as Chambers spoke, instead scanning what drinks he had brought with an internal sigh. Why is it so rare for someone to bring anything I can actually drink?

Keeping her face calm and at ease yet with careful eyes watching over her fellow arrow, and the room alike.
”That is good, I know we cut it kind of close. And it was indeed, just a minor safety concern though and nothing major.” Hmm we could add the books to our library later if it turns out they will not be needed elsewhere. ”As am I, but I do find reading the notes afterward to give a good second look upon matters as well.”

A light look towards Witch as she entered, the words of Chambers a bit surprising but given the words of the charter so was it not all that unexpected.
”Councilor Witch, that is a lovely attire, love the boots.”

Lastly waving with a friendly smile towards the latest to arrive.
”Good to see you Councilor Cavendish I hope you have been well.”

[Thirteen]

Thirteen looked up from her reading and nodded in greeting to her fellow redhead, "Hello, Witch. Aye, I have to agree with Aurora. Cute dress." She was glad to not be the only one wearing one.

Speaking of Aurora, she turned to the Master Shaman, "Oh? I'll be sure to snag one after the meet. Sorry, but I didn't think to bring any Irn-Bru today."

"Eidolon," the Warlock received a nod.

Asclepius' small talk drew her attention back to him. "I suppose. You never know when fate will go sideways." Though the Acanthus might know better than most.

And her fellow walker on the Path of Thistle arrived. Perfect timing. "Cavendish."

Chamber's question made her laugh, "Cook? Me? Not usually. I know a few dishes." Maybe next time she should try bringing some of her mother's hummingbird cake.

"Right," she responded to Skye, sounding a touch confused. "Sorry, what are you referring to?" She felt like she missed something. "What field?"

[Guru]

He had missed the last one and he knew he couldn't miss another especially with everything that had happened over the last few months. He was trying to do what he could to stay distracted but kept finding his mind going elsewhere. He worked hard, followed his recipe and at the end of it he created a beautiful vanilla cake with a matching buttercream thinking something sweet for a celebration. His attention kept wandering somewhere else, his gaze constantly finding itself pulled to the horizon's edge. He had to scramble the sound of the alarm the only thing that had kept his cake from burning.


He showed up wearing a suit, the cake safely stored in a carrier that held a drawer underneath for the disposable utensils he'd stored within. It wasn't a large cake but he presumed a normal sheet cake would feed the Consilium. He hadn't been as early as he'd like as he heard the beginnings of conversation build up as he crossed the threshold into the replica cathedral. Making sure to set the cake down before getting to official proceedings. "Hierarch." He offered with a small bow, eyes clear though still pained compared to the last meeting he'd attended. He saw the stack of copies of the charter as he grabbed it, skimmed it, blinked. His hands instinctively checked his pockets for a pen so he could start taking notes but he'd found himself a bit unprepared.


He gave a smile to Skye as he passed by, Thirteen's comment about fate causing him to chuckle which is what he'd been in the midst of as he approached Aurora, "Councilor. You continue to impress, you look fantastic." That smile that was familiar but didn't quite pull as high as it used to for now. "Provost, looks like we're in for a little light reading today." He offered with a laugh as he took a seat close to his fellow Shamans trying to stick together if he could though he was joking he was starting to read so he could digest and dissect.

[Witch]

Witch smiled at the compliments from Aurora , Skye , and then Thirteen and did a small hip shimmy that sent her dress fluttering, "Comfort is life, and yes I have. Thanks. Hopefully the same can be said for you." Her glance took in and included the wish for all three women.

@Ascelepius 's wave was returned but as @Chamber 's addressed her she turned to him. A small shake of the head, her expression growing serious. "Thankfully no. I would like it to be an optimistic sign for my being involved in further investigation." Because if she had been identified, tracked, and so on ... the last thing she wanted was to bring the eyes on her, to others.
