(2604)Eternal Court

[Otto Schneider]

Otto's eyes glanced briefly across the rest of court, giving small nods where appropriate. His nod towards Alicia was a tad less curt than to others, but it was still brief. His gaze was fixed on Azoth for a moment before refocusing on the Prince and the quarry in front of her. The offending Kindred's words were... curious. The Ventrue made mental notes to follow-up on the information at a later date, but for the time being, propriety demanded that his behavior be corrected first.

"Of course, Your Grace." Otto moved behind the unknown Kindred, sandwiching the offender between himself and Alessandra. "Move." He said simply. "Her Grace has deigned to hear you speak rather than have you thrown out. Do not disappoint her further."

[Alicia Silvers]

Eyes upon the returned kindred, a tad surprised at how casually he was strolling in and taking these matters with present events but giving him the faintest of nods in return purely in acknowledgement of his presence than anything else.

A soft smiled aimed towards the Reeve, he had been nothing but as trustworthy and good as one could hope for a none family member warranting him just a tad extra effort.

Scanning the man whilst listening to his words, a woman was not exactly what she had imagined to hear. Knowing there was an unknown male Kindred amongst them, but a woman now that was news. And if not a Kindred how had they been able to scratch him in such a manner? Trying to glance towards the small metallic object but having no chance to pick it up or examine it for herself unfortunately enough.

Moving herself closer towards the Seneschal and the Mekhet as the ones of note to remain here, yet remaining silent that conversation not one for her to get involved with at present nor placing herself in their immediate presence. That could come once they had settled their initial point of topic.

[Kylar Stern]

"My presence was lacking when it was required, Seneschal. There is no justification that excuses a breach of the Prince’s edict."

Kylar met Jennifer’s gaze, his posture mirroring her own rigidity. He didn't fidget with the tie or offer a hollow 'sorry.'



"As for the lack of an appointment, I took the risk of approaching you directly tonight to ensure the matter of my Acknowledgement was no longer delayed by my own previous oversights. I am prepared to balance the ledger for that convenience, at your discretion."

[Alessandra]

Well this wasn’t fucking getting anywhere.

And she was bored.

Dark eyes look to the Kindred on the floor, who doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge the request, or maybe they want to be carried? Either way, she was done, she had other Kindred, one’s Acknowledged in her Domain who were deserving of her time.

“If this one doesn’t want to speak anymore, or move, then he can be taken outside and not waste anymore of my time. Please make sure he finds his way out, whichever way is easiest for you.” A nod to Otto.

And with that, she turns and makes her way over to Kylar Stern .

“Follow me.” And moves to a standing table, fully expecting the Shadow to follow behind her. Cain, was right at her heels and slight off to the side, standing, muscles tense, watching.

[Otto Schneider]

Grimly, Otto nodded to the Prince. For once, his foul mood could be put to a good cause. The Reeve stepped a little closer to the Kindred and spoke in a low voice. "You won't be asked again. Either plead your case to me, aside, or be escorted out." Acts of aggression and violence were strictly forbidden in Elysium, though the Ventrue chose to interpret that as having a certain degree of... wiggle room. As Reeve, it was his sworn duty to uphold the Laws of the Domain and punish any disrespect to the Prince. He was also one of the few Kindred permitted to carry weapons within Elysium.

He hadn't gotten into a real fight in some time, but Otto was most proficient with his bare hands. In a manner of speaking, putting up his fists was as good as pointing a sword at someone. The Ventrue held up a hand with three fingers as a compromise. "I'm going to give you to the count of three to comply. Failure to do so will be seen as open defiance and I will be less inclined to be gentle. One..." He curled his index finger and glared at the disruptive Kindred.

[Alicia Silvers]

The entertainment of the night on an unusual height, so many small moving parts, declarations and woes to go over yet so many whom seemed unwilling to move.

Not really having anything to add though, a conversation with anyone seeming highly unlikely in the moment as they all scatter to their respective areas. Merely cocking her head to remain silent in the moment, waiting for either this one to get thrown out or for the groupings to be set to be able to get to her own far less important agendas of the evening whilst mentally yawning. Each little sight just feeling so reminiscent of the dull prelude evenings, the eternal wallflower just waiting for the chance to dance to feel a moment of being alive, at least this time the things transpiring at least mattered.

[Kylar Stern]

Kylar’s dark eyes shifted from the Seneschal to the Prince the moment his name was uttered. He didn't glance back at the Kindred being dismissed, nor did he offer a parting word to Jennifer. In the hierarchy of the night, the Apex had spoken.


"Of course, Highness," he replied, his voice low and devoid of the friction his Beast had been threatening moments before.


He offered a crisp, efficient bow; deep enough to show respect for her station, but quick enough to ensure he didn't make her wait. He immediately stepped into place a respectful distance behind her, his boots clicking rhythmically against the floor as he followed her to the table. He remained a shadow in her wake, alert and ready, his posture upright and unwavering.

[Alessandra]

In keeping with her style of getting right to the point and getting things done, “You missed Formal and have lost Acknowledgement, is there a good excuse for the lack of attendance?” she asks.

Otto was counting down for the weakling, Ale was already at three and in her mind had him tossed out.

“Also, was the offer of, as you put it, balancing the ledger, or as I call it, a Boon, to the Seneschal, for your not making an appointment or speaking poorly of her? I’m very curious.”

[Seryna]

"Of course, Reeve." The Kindred stated quietly. His eyes were on the Reeve, although he bent his body into a submissive posture to the Reeve.

"I am a member of the Domain of her Alder Grace Alessandra Antinori for the last two months. I am Dante Farnsworth of Clan Ventrue." He pronounces the Italian name expertly. One would recall this information, although he has never attracted any attention. Neither positive, nor negative
“The Kindred who attacked me was female, and beautiful. She was very strong. The attack was two blocks south west from here.”
