    The beasts began to flow in. Mable took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. She forced herself to stay put and not obey the beast within. Instead she gave respectful nods to Vivian, Lina, Jack, and Twist. Murmured thank yous where appropriate. Krieg leaves and Mable takes note to ask him about it later.

    When Derek Menzies comes by she responds, "When you get a chance this evening I would love to continue our discussion."

    Beyond that she awaits anyone who would like to talk with her.

    Behavior

    Goes by Jack.

    Educated, scholarly, lawyer, scientist.
    Jack's outward demeanor and tone are a baseline of respectful and calculated.

    He actively debates, persuades, negotiates and even at time tries to intimidate, as core skills of any lawyer worth his salt.

    Jacque smiled and nodded at Ellis, who decided for one reason or another to suddenly address him as Whip rather than Herald. Either another playful poke of the new Daeva or an innocent mistake, either way there were more important people in the room who would address that if it warranted being corrected. He then bowed his head to Twist before turning his attention to Madcap.


    The cold countenance, the huff and quite clear tone of distrust were enough to keep Jacque on edge with the stronger predator in the Bruja. Yet, he was completely disarmed by the refusal of engaging in a conversation outside of Elysium... for the benefit of both of them?


    Full of curiosity, he followed the formidable Savage to his booth.

    Ignored by both the Circle members, Prosper nods to Ellis' and a tight smile to Madcap as both then dart away. He greets other arrivals as they come with formal address, eventually taking out a small pocket book to make a note of some kind.

    He blinks when he notices Mable patiently greeting the parade and the Herald not announcing any changes, instead chasing for Madcap's approval when his offer to work things outside was blocked.

    He didn't exactly trust the Ventrue's ability to deescalate after the challenge for monomacy.

    He kept an eye on it.

    "Keeper, do you have a few minutes?"
    he asks, smiling at his cousin once there is a break in the stream. He nods towards one of the statues.

    Conversation continues Here

    "Certainly, Priscus." Mable followed Garrett, but kept and eye on what was happening.

    Vivian York

    Vivian watched as others assembled. She nodded to each as her name was called and smiled sweetly. "Good evening Herald Jack." She added as many filtered through.

    But since Derek specifically mentioned talking, she nodded to him. "Of course, I'd be happy to speak with you Mr. Mitnick. Do you want to step aside to have the conversation?" Vivian wasn't sure if something was wrong, or he just wanted to chat and catch up. For now, she'd stick with the latter.

    A deep bow from the Seneschal was given to Twist . It was probably a wonderful thing she was there, and the two of them really need to have another evening out soon.

    His comment of the decor was very middle ground. The Daeva would be chatting with her before court was over. Vivian's resting bitch face hadn't left yet.

    Vassagon , please feel free to start a side thread if you so desire.

    Edward loved court. It was a beautiful place, a place of superior beings, and it always started with something ennobling. His eyes alighted on a multitude of forms, and before anything else could be processed, the Beast screamed. He revelled in it at first. Like great anger, lust, or fear, the experience itself was divine — the cathartic release of open want. But like music that grew too loud, it began to hurt; Edward staggered back. To have something to focus on, he forced a breath through dead lungs. Okay, we’re okay. Maybe he’d ride that out with more grace next time.

    His attention turned to the flow of Kindred. The divide in social size was always interesting, those that fell into the background contrasted so sharply with those that could fill any room. A group of masterful politician supermodels, quite a sight; but, he was looking for one masterful politician supermodel in particular. He almost overlooked her, not an easy task mind you, but the absence of the Beast threw him off the scent.

    Edward walked with unhurried grace not quite directly towards her, not making eye contact until he was closer. A strange Kindred locking and eyes and power walking towards one wouldn’t exactly set the right impression. If it wasn’t for the horrific pressure of so many new Beasts around him, he might have chuckled at the thought.

    He took the final ten paces directly, bowing at a comfortable range. “Priscus Twist,” Edward’s soft words were almost a question, “I hope I don’t find you ill-disposed?”

    Lina Moretti

    Moretti shook her head. She'd submitted the report, made the announcement, and knew Deputies were good to go to carry weapons, but right this second she wasn't feeling like taking the liberty of making a positive affirmation of his inquiry. Things weren't stable. They weren't clear. "Not yet. It'll be addressed shortly," she replied. It was something she would address with the Prince later. Turning her attention to Ellis Meadows and his greeting, the all-too-human looking Daeva replied, "Good to hear, Mr. Meadows..."
    Twist 's arrival and polite nod was met with one back, the Elder a usual and welcome presence in the nightly court. Her eyes were then drawn to the conversation between Jack and Madcap, where direct words were being exchanged and a conflict between them was being quietly and peacefully worked out. The fact that two Kindred were able to hash out their beefs in safety, without the world thinking it was shocking that two Kindred might have a disagreement, was a nice change. Politics here weren't bad. In fact, this was the safest place in the world to engage in politics precisely because it was a moderated environment. That the Prince's Voice was engaged in them here suggested to Lina that, perhaps, there was a new tone that was being set that wasn't quite so tea-and-cake.

    Good for Alessandra. The Sheriff glanced at Garrett Prosper silently, giving a little shrug, and then moved to join Ellis Meadows, her eyes clicking the new arrival even as her Beast screamed out for her to spill his Vitae all over the floor.

    Lina joins Ellis's thread.

    "I understand," Derek replies to the Sheriff with a nod. He is satisfied to be reassured that it is better to be safe before assuming anything.

    He notes the Alder's arrival with a respectful bend at the waist towards Twist . A side-glance at the newcomer causes Derek's Beast to bristle with fear. He wonders if he should perform his duties as a Deputy to vet the arrival, but by the sound of their exchange one might assume it to be a request for acknowledgement.

    Turning back to Vivian, Derek twitches out what might be a pleasant smile towards the Succubus. "Certainly, Seneschal York, right this way."

    Derek and Vivian continue here

    If there was ever a case of the man being overshadowed by the Beast, it was Edward Heinrich .

    Restraining her own Beast, Twist smiled at the unknown man's greeting, giving him the benefit of the doubt regarding her title.

    "While I have carried that title before, I am sad to say that I am currently not my clan's priscus. But perhaps I can help you anyways ..." She let the invitation for him to introduce himself.
