    The Lily, a place of striking architecture, is of interest for many in the Domain.

    A setting was unlike the other clubs.

    However, it was still upscale and classy as other places those of the Society dwelt.

    The lights were turned up this evening to provide an ambiance suitable for a meeting.

    In the private room Martha has arranged a long oval table with enough chairs in place.

    The Herald has laid the table with a white linen table cloth. In the center, in recollection of her friend Arianna, Martha has set a beautiful bouquet of white Calotropis Gigantea to adorn the table.

    Though she might leave Prince Asa to his meeting in private, Martha now hobbled to the door to the meeting chamber to wait and greet the guests.

    Martha leaned on her cane and waited. Meekly and sweetly attired in an English school uniform: a black 'winter pattern' felt broad brimmed cap of the Edwardian English school fashion and of the traditional winter design...neat black blazer. A pair of scholarly wire-framed spectacles are perched on the end of her nose. A long black gymslip which shows her remaining slim leg to mid calf. Her ebony black hair is tied into long neat twin tails. Each twin tail is tied with a large red silken ribbon bow.

    Martha wears white kneesocks on her trim and athletically slim flesh leg. Carefully polished black Mary Jane shoes and her C-Leg.

    She dutifully waited for the arrival of Erich Passions and Marshall Cross

    Erich loved the Lily, the atmosphere, the ambiance. He looked forward to the day he would get to sit in the "secret vault" that was restricted only to the richest and most powerful.

    He glanced at his watch, ensuring that he was definitely early enough to be the first to arrive, then adjusted his boutonniere of lotus blossoms before he walked into the private meeting room. His confident steps hesitated a fraction as he notices the Herald.

    "Herald Villiers, lovely to see you this evening! I hope this night finds you in good health and good spirit."

    From behind the bar, Asa kept an eye on the door between serving drinks and charming patrons. It was an eccentricity that endeared him to some of the regulars, and amused some of the higher class patron he rubbed elbows with in other settings.

    It was also a wonderful method to keep his Herd fresh.

    He watched as Erich entered, then finished the Manhattan he was preparing by releasing a cherry to roll down the length of the bitters bottle as he dashed the drink to completion. A spin of the bottle, a swirl of a mixing rod, and an engaging smile all prefaced the presentation of the drink. He tapped the other bartender as he left, letting him know that he was flying solo now, and slipped his jacket on. Special care was taken to repin and adjust a white silk rose in the lapel before he followed the Daeva.

    "Good evening,"
    he greeted the pair as he entered.

    Asa's eyes took in the flowers --all of them-- and he smiled slightly at Martha's choice.

    Martha nodded a greeting her Prince and dipped a very careful curtsy. "Good evening, sir!" she enthused. Cautious in her use of titles until security was certain. Wide eyed and clearly delighted to see Asa.

    Smiling, she soon rose from her curtsy and stood, almost as if at attention...ready to enact his command.



    Just thought I'd offer a gentle prod to Mike and Marshall Cross

    Erich could feel the Knight's beast nearbye he knew the old wolf was close on his heels.

    The entrance of the Prince behind him though, gave him quite a start.

    He quickly stepped to the side, away from the man, taking the Herald's cue that their private meeting room might not be all that private yet, he offered the man a polite nod of his head. "Good evening, sir."

    Erich moved slowly, carefully taking a step towards the table. He smoothly removes a small bamboo box and places it on the table. The top of the box is adorned by a small red bow with gold trim.



    In a smooth, calculated motion he opens the box towards himself, then turns it so that His Grace can see its contents. Inside the box, carefully cradled in a holder of gold silk is an exquisitly, beautiful Krone Fountain Pen, from the Echo collection. Violet in color, the color of kings.

    "A small token of gratitude for your time, sir."

    Marshall was right on the heels of Erich, watching curiously as the young Possade entered the club before him. Marshall wasn't quite comfortable wearing such nice clothing but he understood the importance of it in Invictus circles. He always preffered his usual, more comfortable attire to this fine silk suit that Erich had lent him until his own belongings had caught up with him. It was charcoal grey, along with it he wore a red silk vest with a brown and red tie. On his lapel he wore a small boutonniere of Red Amarylis and a sprig of Juniper as accent, and a nice charcoal grey bowler hat to complement his outfit. He was excited as well as nervous to meet the Prince of the Domain, such meetings were always very much stressful and on the other hand invigorating for him. He enjoyed knowing just what the most influential Kindred in the Domain was like in person, just in case his dealings had either turned south or made an impact. He always liked to know where he stood.

    Marshall strolled into The Lily and was taken aback at the sights and sounds before him, he knew that it looked like an upscale club from the outside, but to actually go in was somthing else. He was not a stanger to the envoronment, but it did not mean that he didn't enjoy the beauty of the thing. He watched as the Prince caught Erich by surprise and felt a little bit of a chuckle come up as Erich flinched at the appearance of the man who he''d only heard about until now. Not one to be late, Marshall followed them in, hearing the call of the Wolf the entire way.

    Marshall's demeanor steeled as he fought the urges that the call of the Wolf always brought with them. He bowed his head in respect to the Prince as he spoke, "Good evening, sir" he said as he noted the others' words and secrecy. He then nodded towards Martha, "Good evening to you as well ma'am."

    Now was not quite the time for Invictus formality, at least not until they knew that they were completely left to their own. Marshall stood to Erich's right, giving the others a comfortable distance. Marshall knew that formality wasn't his strong suit, but he knew his place well enough. Marshall gestured towards the door with a nod, indicating his ideas about the secrecy of their meeting, the Masqurade must be maintained.

    Martha nods her appreciation of the greeting from the guests with a courteous and graceful nod.

    "Thank you...and good evening, gentlemen! A delight to see you both."

    Her tone of voice is cheerful and respectful.

    She glance to Marshall and Erich. She is wary lest they be cloaked in Obfuscate and not who they claim to be she pays attention to them with her powers of Auspex.

    Kindred had died recently. Slain by those they trusted.

    She was determined to do what she could to avoid that happening to the Prince tonight. She knew Asa was a potent gentlemen. But she did not wish to be negligent and lazy in her Duty.

    Martha rubs hard at her crippled hip as she peers at them with apparent, if very steady, playfulness over the wire rims of her spectacles...

    Asa smiled at the tiny Herald and turned his attention toward Erich as the man moves away and reaches into a pocket. Both Man and Beast surged in alertness, but he maintained his polite facade as he watched. When the pen was revealed, he nodded, and smiled in a approval.

    "Thank you,"
    he said.

    He turned at the sound of Marshall's approach, and felt the new outrage at another predator revealed. It rankled him to struggle to put his own down, when he knew that neither felt his or the Herald's, and had no such difficulty. Not for the first time, he was tempted to unmask his own, to even the situation. He did not.

    Asa studied the new stranger, then Erich and Martha out of the corner of his eye. A hand raised, unbuttoning his jacket.

    "I do not know you."

    Erich has no discipline active for Martha's Auspex to clash with.


    Erich motions to the open door, "May I?" If assent is given he will move calmly and deliberatly to close the door. While, he did not want to alarm any of the mighty beasts present, shielded though some may be, privacy was neccassary. The formality that is to follow is specific, and Erich intends to follow the demands of Invictus ettiquette to the letter.

    "Your Grace, Alder Duke Asa Clarke, Prince of this Domain, it is with great honor that I introduce a very, old and dear friend of mine. Sir Knight Marshall Cross of the Most Honorable Order of the Thorned Wreath."

    Having fullfilled his Invictus duty, introducing the two elder members of the First Estate, The Shark falls back into a still, motionless silence. Carefully observing the interaction between the two men, and looking to the Prince for ques on how to proceed.

    Although forewarned by the Herald, Asa still didn't care much for the setup. Maybe it was all the admonitions of caution from Ishani about being Prince. Maybe it was age. Things like this didn't seem to bother him as much before.

    He turned as Erich moved, keeping his features pleasant and cool as he listened to the introductions. As far as he knew, the only other Knight the city had seen was Regina Pia -- it would be interesting to have a comparison.

    "Good evening, Sir Cross,"
    Asa offered.
