[Yumyumcrow]

Prince Saul's heavy gaze fell on the Gangrel.

"Find Buster. Bring him here."

Turning his head slightly, he focussed on Mia Twist.

"Good. As for the others? The twins are always around. Somewhere..."

"There is always Little Mitch. A cowardly creature..." Pixie began.

"Survivor. Not coward. He survived the Brood and VII. Remember that." Saul rebuked his Advisor calmly.

Krieg nods silently and prepares to take his leave.

As per Posting Interruption notice, ErlangShen is taking a leave of absence so I'll bow his character out here. You are free to follow Krieg if you so desire.

[Mable Wood]

When told to find Buster she nods.

Mable stayed focused when Saul mentioned the Brood. Perhaps this means he is a potential partner instead of an enemy. She remember something about an enemy of my enemy is my friend or something like that. What was VII? Her ignorance knew no bounds, it was probably something she should know.

She silently holds her ground and waits for Twist or the Reeve to act. Better to let the Daeva speak than her clumsy self. She had already messed up not stating her clan. Damn, she could make a convincing argument when it came to nature and saving trees but was tongue tied in any social situation.

When Krieg leaves her eyes follow him. She strangely was going to miss the large man's presence. His zeal made things feel right.

[Takeda Katsumi]

Did they need to find this...this Buster?

This was a waste of time. They should take care of this now, while this pretender thought he had strength...

Takeda shot Twist a look. Inquiring. It was the Duchess' call. If she wanted to go on this merry chase, Takeda would have to follow. However, if she chose that enough was enough...well, Takeda would be right beside her.

[Twist]

The Twins and Little Mitch. 3 more for his court. Twist noted the information handed to them.

She caught the look Takeda sent her even as Mable looked to Krieg who was already nodding to Saul. Twist smiled at Takeda, steel flashing briefly in her grin, before she shifted her attention back to Saul, the smile shifting as she did so. Confidence giving way sultry and pleased. For the information? For the directive? For the 'acknowledgment'. It didn't matter. It was just a look.


As far as Takeda's silent question- it was tempting to prove Sacramento's strength here and now. To cease this talk and move to action. But Saul wasn't an intruder or an imposter. Just an idiot on their doorstep.

"Thank you Prince Saul," she murmured deferentially, before turning smoothly to move along with Krieg.

They needed to touch base with Alessandra. Get a quick touch base with their Prince and see how she wanted to handle her borders. A dead zone outside? Or buffers of idiots like this Saul?

And then they would find this Buster. Every message needs a messenger after all.

Twist will leave with Krieg and I am cool with moving to a new scene to set the next steps in motion
