The question does make Katya think, would a challenge to death been her initial choice? Then again, she was not offered a position of Reeve, which battle does not serve as much of a benefit when that factor was taken out of the equation.
"Hypothetically?" she repeats, curling her lip as she checks with her audience, people who might have overheard her "blessing" given to Josephine. Would overhearing this answer make them second guess the confidence in her words? before she can answer, Asa dismisses himself and she nods to him. "Have a good evening your Grace."
She turns back to Tomas and says "While I may have come to the same outcome, given the consecutive number of offenses, I could have seen the wisdom in waiting a bit and seeing how an example could be taught through other trials. After all, not all stories of people journeying through the Underworld ended with their deaths. Having had experience with various punishment, there could have been potential for being creative in making one understand the weight of their mistake that could please both parties." Had it just been the insult to herself, Katya had the idea of making Marco lick the floors of Elysium clean, forbidding him to wash it so others could see how tainted his tongue was. A shrug follows and she says "Then again, it becomes tricky when another's Faith is involved. The same trial I view as sufficient might still not be enough to make amends for the victims, particularly when the disrespect of rituals is involved."
it was perhaps a bureaucratic answer, but something she might not have wanted to give prior to becoming Seneschal, but then again such social gymnastics was a skill she was slowly obtaining the more she held the position. "What about you Hierophant?"
Vivian too, heads for the door, tipping a bow from her head to Twist and Katya. The night was had been enjoyable up until a particular moment. But, that was the ‘life’ of their Kind.
And as soon as the night had begun, it was over that quickly. They were literally turning into a blink in her Requiem. So fast the nights pass and none stop to cherish it. Some cherish them even less than others…
Vivian is off like a prom dress, unless stopped.

This court thoroughly sucked from top to bottom. Josephine might not have realized that she made an additional ennemy besides Marco and should the newly appointed Reeve survives her duel, she would have to pay dearly for it. Of course, this vendetta might take a long time to come to fruition especially considering the difference of status between them.
But what do vampire have if not all the time in the world?
She kept those thoughts to herself and promptly left the court unless stopped ...
The gauntlet was thrown down. Events were out of Cordoba's hands. The outcome will be surprising. He wondered what would happen to Marco if he survived. How would the rest of the Clan perceive their Priscus's decisions. Only time would tell.

The evening draws to a close.
The challenge of Monomacy had been predictable - almost inevitable.
Martha, nodding a respectful 'good evening' to Twist and each of the departing Kindred began to make mental calculations for planning the duel on the first of November.
