    Even though she wasn't interested in politics one bit, Aileen knew that she was probably better off having voted for the elected Priscus than not, and so was somewhat reassured. That part of the meeting was over, and she had nothing she wanted disclosed at large, so she merely shook her head when asked if there was anything else.

    The question raised by Regent Brady seemed strange, but she hadn't failed to uphold that law, so the petite brunette felt safe, and looked around her, puzzled, to see what might be other's reactions.

    Neil smiled politely at the Regent. "An apt question, Regent Brady."

    Sweeping the table with his eyes, he said, "To answer your second question first: no, historical violations of this law that has been present in the Clan for some time now will not be grandfathered. Evidence of violation of the law since its inception in the City will be investigated just as violations in the future will be."

    "As for the penalty, I will choose to adopt the same principles as judges in the United States do: considering the circumstances of the offence, and the facts of the offender, the appropriate penalty will be determined. No two offences are alike, and one who flagrantly teaches Auspex for profit is different in their culpability than one who is forced by the sword to teach it."


    Arbitrary penalties without consideration of circumstances were foolish at best and catastrophic at worst -- history had shown that time and again.

    "I see. So teachings prior to the inception of the law, of course, are not violations."

    After a moment, Erika cocked her head slightly and trained her green eyes on the new Priscus.

    "And when was the inception of this law in the City, Priscus?"

    Martha looked to Erika. This line of questioning seemed to be very dangerous indeed and portended a trap for someone. His first test of command. Would he pass? Who, if anyone, was Erika about to accuse?

    She watched first Erika, then Neil, with wide eyes.

    Although Chris is not one to watch things with wide eyes, his eyebrows are arched up a millimeter or two. This is about to become very interesting, so it seems.

    Why this, so suddenly?

    He also wonders what Conner thinks of the situation, of course, no one here shows his emotions.

    Socrates.

    It was one thing that really came to mind, at the Regent’s questioning, and yet the fact that there was finally some form of information actually being passed around made the bard practically ecstatic, though she highly doubted that the new Priscus knew the answer.

    After all, that would technically be something that fell under ‘completely-classified public information’.

    Interesting...

    Conner thought to himself as he watched the situation unfold.

    Conner exist the meeting, his role properly passed on to another.

    Thinking fast and keen to help Neil out of what could be his first embarrassment. It wouldn't do for him to falter now, Martha uses her note pad. Quickly writing in block letters the date (3 June 2011).

    With a dainty fingertip gesture to carefully hold up the notepad, she shows it to Neil for his information before laying the notepad face down back upon the table. Looking as nonchalant as is possible under such situations.

    As Conner Greyson leaves the room suddenly, Neil paused, watching him go as he cocked his head to the side slightly. He saw Herald Villiers' note, and he had no problem asking for historical knowledge. In fact, the Herald had been very quick off the draw, given what had just happened.

    "Thank you, Herald Villiers," he said neutrally, giving the credit where it was due. If there was any shame in this, it must have missed Doctor Kingsley. "Those who have instructed Auspex to anybody outside of the clan on or after its inception on the third of June, 2011, have committed an offence. Is there an accusation of a violation of the Auspex ban you wish to level and present evidence upon, Regent Brady?" Business-like and to the point, as always.
