(2603)Formal Court

[Raul]

Raúl returns the nod to the Reeve as the Ventrue enters, letting him make his way over to Vincenzo.

He matches the Nosferatu's gaze for a moment before he nods. "Oh? Curiosity can be good. What's got your curiosity piqued?"

When the prince arrives, he along with the others, bows his head and a bit at the waist, giving the Savage her due. He watches her gaze slide across the others before him, status before family. He doesn't take that as slight against him. His Beast is telling a different story though. He returns the nod directed to him and then can't help but smile at the motion she gives him. He doesn't hesitate, approaching the other Savage. He doesn't get too close unless she beckons him even closer, casting a glance towards Cain. He doesn't think the animal would maul him without her express order, but he also doesn't want to tempt it either. "Good evening, Your Grace," he says.

He had heard Alicia's question. He had glanced towards her again, but when the Alder Prince beckons, you don't make her wait. He'll find time to answer the Rose's question when he could.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer bends into a perfect curtsy as the Alder Prince enters the room. The Alder has earned all of the respect that she commands. Jennifer turns her head slightly and bids Raul a farewell nod as he answers the Alder Prince. One must respond promptly, all understood that.

Yet Jennifer's brown eyes are moving carefully over the room.

"Have we lost the Mekhet already?" The Nosferatu states, with an arched brow.

[Seryna]

Formal Court is closed to new arrivals

[Kylar Stern]

Kylar Stern showed up to formal court wearing a grey shirt with a blue tie, black slacks, and black dress shoes finished off with a long black coat. Seeing the Prince had already made her presence shown, and after the last encounter with her he kept his distance but still made certain to offer the Prince a proper bow with no words as he has learned his lesson about addressing the Prince, before heading to where the others were.

"Seneschal." Kylar states while offering her a bow worthy of her position in the Elysium. "Priscus Silvers and Priscus Schneider" Kylar states as well before offering them a proper bow for their positions. "I see that Raul has made his return." Kylar says with more a statement of fact than a question.

"Oh Seneschal, if you have a moment, I would like to discuss the matter of me moving into the position of Priscus. I have decided that I would like to step into the tole but need guidance as how to make it official with you and the Prince here in the Elysium."

[Otto Schneider]

Otto sniffed indignantly at the implication that the Domain was any less stable than any other city for Kindred, even if there were valid concerns where the Final Death of a prominent Kindred was concerned. "I shall have to speak with this out-of-towner, then." He concluded flatly. While some of it was a matter of pride, being responsible for the safety Sacramento's Kindred and ensuring that the Prince's Laws were upheld, there was also the practical matter of making sure nothing dangerous was coming from the outside.

The Ventrue nodded vaguely towards the Nosferatu that Vincenzo had introduced offhandedly, pretending to look mildly interest. "Good evening." He offered politely. Before letting his gaze wander slowly over the rest of Elysium, idly settling on the Daeva Priscus and her cousin. "I have heard many rumors lately, Legate. For better or worse, it is becoming part of my official duties." He gave a meaningful look at the other man. "Are there any that you earnestly put stock in?" Otto enjoyed Vincenzo's visits, not the least of reasons being that he appreciated a chance to speak to other members of his Covenant outside the laity. But he wasn't quite sure he could trust the pockmarked man.

The unnatural fear that struck him was something he had come to more closely associated with Prince Alessandra in specific, now that his Vitae was growing thicker. As such, once he got his Beast under control again, it gave him a good indication of where he needed to turn and bow. As ever, he gave a low, stooped bow of respect to the Alder Prince. No matter his own position in the Domain, she was his superior.
