    Edward descended into Elysium with slow grace, precisely ten minutes early. He clasps his hands behind his back and begins mentally preparing for the meeting.

    The Lady Notary had spent some time this evening in one of the private rooms in Elysium. She had spread a lavender table cloth over a smaller table. She knew the language of business meetings, and had arranged the table with enough space for each to be able to have space with no encroachment into their space. The Lady Notary's space had an aged leather journal and a fine pen laid out. A wrinkled scroll was set beside the journal. Her black messenger bag was attached to the back of her chair.

    There was a vase on the table composed of everlasting sweet pea and Angelica.

    Pinned to her breast was a small, delicate selection of Blue Convolvulus blooms. Her outfit tonight was less formal than the floor length formal dresses she wore to Court. She wore a business suit in lavender, with a high collar. A flesh colored thin scarf was wound once around her neck and tucked into her business jacket. She wore practical flats. Her long brown hair was straight and simple, worn down. Her Beast was masked.

    At Mr. Heinrich's approach, she had been consulting her journal. The Lady arose from her chair gracefully and moved to a comfortable speaking distance.

    "Mr. Heinrich, welcome. I trust you have been well?' She inquires politely. Her words are spoken slowly and measured, for her voice winds and ascends like a snake slithering through dried leaves.

    The Lady took in his suit and accessories with practiced attention to detail.

    Tonight was a matter of education and covenant.

    Thus, Lenora aimed to dress well, choosing a suit edging on the side of pale champagne in color.

    Arriving behind Edward after he began his talk with Jennifer, Lenora remained where she was, hands intertwining at her front, as she awaited the acknowledgement of two of the Invictus' full members.

    Edward's gaze sweeps across the scene. He smiles while translating the meaning of each flower before him. There was nothing amiss, and he appreciated the indication of tone Jennifer brought to the meeting. Edward gave a short bow in greeting.
    "Your trust is well founded, Lady Notary. And yourself?" From the corner of his eye, both Lenora and her restraint is noted. Good. Once Jennifer had responsed he would invite Lenora to join them.

    Jennifer's pleasant smile was given to Mr. Heinrich, offsetting the horrible grating as she spoke.
    "I am very well, this evening, thank you Mr. Heinrich. I am looking forward to the discussion tonight."

    The smile of greeting is seamlessly changed into composed dignity. Deep brown eyes sought out Lenora Black and she gave the respectful woman a respected nod befitting her new position in the First Estate. The Lady does not draw the Page into conversation, curious how the Sponsor will guide the promising page.

    Her eyes moved back to the sponsor, her conversational tone inviting.
    "I am a bit curious which of the mystical Blood Oaths have fascinated you. I find so many of the Oaths alluring, even if one might prick oneself on the thorns."

    Lenora maintains her silence, but offers a deep nod to Jennifer in kind.

    Until she is guided to do so, Lenora can do little more. Nonetheless, passing thoughts silently wonder if Edward is becoming comfortable in his position. Prudent as she is, Lenora disliked being complacent for long.

    "Your feeling is shared by both myself and Miss Black." Edward turns with a smile, to face Lenora, "please, join us." Without waiting for her to do so, Edward turns back to Jennifer. "As for oaths, I fear my ignorance on the subject is so vast that I lack the capacity to form a particular interest at this time."

    Edward decided to feed her a line, having been on the other side of this conversation many times in both life and unlife: "I admit to being hazy on what their function even is." Give her a chance to make the sale, so to speak.

    ” I am sorry to hear that, Mr. Heinrich. Some cities hold mystical secrets very close to the vest. I feel that those who are a part of the First Estate ought to learn a bit.” She looks to Miss Black as her sponsor summons her closer.
    “What about you, Miss Black? Different cities have different customs.“
    She gestures to the seating area.

    "Let us sit and make ourselves comfortable."

    She led the two to the seated area and took up her chair and settled in.
    "Oaths are the skeleton of the First Estate.“
    The Lady Notary stated solemnly. “I am not saying that the other parts, our Traditions, are not equally as important. Yet the Oaths allow the Covenant to maintain its power. The Covenant has learned how to enforce our sworn words.'

    She looked between the two for a moment, deep in thought.

    "An oath is never taken lightly. In some domains, it is common for the ancillae to know symbolic Oaths.
    Some oaths require the signing of a pledge in the petitioner's own Vitae and little mystical power beyond what already compels us. These are symbolic Blood Oaths. What are your thoughts?"



    She looked between the two.

    As Lenora is cleared to approach she does so, finding her place beside her sponsor as fingers intertwine at her front. Edward's smile is returned, the Lord's otherwise stoic face offering her usual cordial smile before fading back to her practiced prudence.

    Hearing the Haunt's question, Lenora answers as the trio begin their travel to the seats.

    "Blood Oaths are held in high regard in Philadelphia, your ladyship. However, I know very little about them, to my shame,"
    she offered, answering her question without hesitation, "The majority of my service to the Baroness occurred during my... extended period among the Kine. As you can imagine, the idea of a Kine understanding such specialties was quite unpopular, regardless of how long the Vitae had staved away death. Still, it was well known among ghouls and younger Kindred that First Estate's most honored membership made ready use of Notaries to facilitate alliances between them - and to 'correct' neonates who threatened the order they had instilled."

    That was the extent of Lenora's knowledge. Notaries were specialists with access to mystical oaths which proved to be useful. The Baroness had hosted them on many occasions, but the finer points of these meetings were always private affairs.

    Lenora falls to silence as Edward lays down his line and Jennifer relays her explanations and a brief of the importance of her craft. As the Haunt seats, Lenora stations herself at an empty chair, but does not sit down. Neither their host nor her sponsor has given her that direction. In the face of potential social blackmarks, it was best to edge on the side of caution. Lenora had no intent of entering the Invictus formally with others within it viewing her poorly.

    The table was Edward's once again, Lenora looking to him. He was senior here. Therefore, his opinion on the matter outweighed her own.

    It took Edward a moment after seating himself to realize Lenora had no intention of sitting until directed. With a flash of irritation, he turned, but his annoyance was cut down by a realization. This was how Twist felt with him. God above, do I have much to learn.

    Rather than irritation, it was with a touch of sympathy that Edward spoke, "Please, take a seat, Miss Black."

    Edward listens, as Jennifer explains. "To my uneducated ears, the Blood Oath sounds to be a Discipline or perhaps a Devotion. I have seen my Sire enforce his will over another using some power of the blood, is this a similar effect?"
