When Kenneth looks to Katya she nods "Soon after I took the position, Priscus Regan informed me that the former Regent, Erika Brady was an enemy to the domain and because of her that Elysia was compromised, particularly with regard to handwritten text. This was under the assumption that she or her associates that were still within the domain might intercept such correspondence." whether or not that concern was still valid was not something she wanted to risk stating without having hard evidence. She isn't sure how familiar Victoria is with Erika but imagines that will be discussed at length when the time comes. For now, she hears Gilroy ask her the same thing she asked many times ago, but at least this time there is someone to answer.
"Expectations?" she repeats, curling her lip to the side as she tries to think of a concise way to answer for what was an unanserable question given that her and Kenneth's backgrounds were very different. SHe looks to him and says bluntly "To be a Dom without being a tyrant." as the words come out she realizes Kenneth might not know that terminology. "Er...you are to ensure that from night to night, all things within Court and the Domain are in accordance with His Majesty's laws. Specifically, this can mean handling all petitions passed on to the Prince. It can also mean handling logistics for events such as Monomacy and Court when a Keeper is not available. When Prisci are not available for an incoming clan member, you also handle their acknowledgement into the Domain. Essentially, you are both a hub of information from the Prisci to the Reeve and sometimes the Hound, as well as a decision maker for when others in the Domain cannot." Eyes assess Kenneth's response to see if the answer pleases or frustrates him as she knows there is no way to truly answer. "As an example, When Josephine wanted vengeance on Marco for his insult to her, the decision to grant permission for Monomacy was handed to me. When word got out that two poachers had been found, I assisted the former Reeve in deciding their fate based on what information was presented to us. I always viewed it like this, my role was to handle any work or responsibility so that it would require His Majesty's attention. If my choices and decision mean more trouble for him or the Reeve to handle then that means I am not living up to his expectations." and was no surprise to her as to why she was telling this to her new Seneschal now. "That might not be exactly what you wish to hear, but I can answer any other questions you might have."
