Spells Active | Silver Ladder Status: 1 | Consilium Status 3 (Hierach)
Aquinas arrives as he undoes a button of his double-breasted sweater jacket. The Sacramento weather is thankfully mild and pleasant and in the low-sixties which keeps the man from needing anything heavier. Carried on quiet shoes, the Hiearch arrives holding a messenger bag. His lips are set into a thin line, though the lines on his face aren't smoothed.
The Enemy has claimed the lives of Consilium Members, finally rescued from whatever hell they've been put through.
Even the Awakened mourn.
Careful steps and Aquinas comes to rest next to Mace, placing a reassuring hand on the Moros' shoulder, “How are you doing?” Aquinas, himself, is a prodigal 'son' of another Hierarch: Peter Cartwright. Because of the balance of his Awakened Life and his Sleeper one, he couldn't see his Mentor off. Now, this is his Consilium and the Hierarch must be there to reassure and to inspire those who still live while giving ones who will never Ascend a proper send off.
“I'll be right back,” Aquinas tells Mace nodding to his bag, “I have ritual robes to slip on.” Since, of course, the Silver Ladder have ritual robes.
