Private Meeting ~ Duchess and Lady

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"Thank you," Jennifer smiles sincerely. "- if the shadow box is decent at all, I would enjoy that, Your Grace."
"I do believe I can do some real good there. I spent the majority of my life studying the hacking and computer world. I do make certain to keep up to date."
At the Alder Duchesses' interest, Jennifer clarifies
"When I departed a bit ungracefully before... it was due to my teacher, Alder Notary Lady Micha Chappelle nearing her Sweet Torpor. She had formed a dynastic House in St. Louis. The House of the Blue Convolvulus. "

"I do believe that the Covenant would be strengthened." She stated solemnly. Although she was passionate about being able to offer the aid to Covenant members, the Discipline was restricted to being taught outside of the Blood of the Daeva for a reason. She respected that.

"I do understand that what I ask for is quite large. An investment of time, trust that I respect the Blood of the Roses' discipline. I can assure you, I shall be quite careful to apply the learning for the betterment of the First Estate. I do believe that this is the best way to help teach and uplift members of the First Estate."
It was a thought that the Archon having the knowledge would be beneficial. Certainly for the stability, Jennifer believed. She had planned to devote time to learning more of her own Family Discipline at the Seneschal's generous offer of Priscus position.

[Twist]

"Ah, I see" Twist said with a nod. As far as Jennifer's reference to her leaving the city, she did not comment. What would she say if she did? She herself had made not one but at least two departures from Sacramento herself due to 'family' in Italy. And like Jennifer, neither leave taking could be said to be graceful either.

Twist's gaze on Jennifer was dark, her tone serious even if it was still pleasant. "I am glad that you understand the magnitude of what you ask."

Leaning back in her seat, "But as you said, what you would be able to do for the Invictus would be no small matter either." The agreement thus struck, Twist smiled, "Was there anything else specifically that you wished to discuss tonight?"

[Jennifer Hazelton]

" I am glad that we have an accord."

Pleased, Jennifer leaned back slightly. She was ever glad to have the deal struck. Although she wasn't eager to conclude a conversation with her Grace, she respected that the Duchess was a busy Kindred.

"Only one concern, your Grace."
The Notary replied.
"I have not seen Mr.Jack in a bit. Have you occasion to see him?"

[Twist]

A blink of surprise, "Mr. Jacque?". Her eyebrows drawing together, she thought back.

"I meet with him back in April. But I do not recall seeing his face at any more recently." Tilting her head, she looked to Jennifer. "Is there a cause for your concern?

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer nods slightly as the Alder Duchess spoke.
"I have not seen him at Court. I had encouraged him recently in his interest in the Blood Oaths." She confided. "I have focused on encouraging some members to learn more about what our mystic contracts could enforce. "

"I suppose I am premature in my concern. Occasionally the wind of change seizes a Kindred here in the River City and they simply leave. I was curious if he were perhaps occupied with some task. " She smiled pleasantly.

"Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Your Grace. I appreciate your time." Jennifer stated sincerely. She had heard her Covenant Leaders' earlier inquiry and did not want to monopolize her time.

[Twist]

"I see. My recent interactions with him have shown him to be dedicated to the domain." Twist said reassuringly.

A smile creased, "It has been a pleasant evening. I am glad we were finally able to sit down and talk outside of Court."

Standing with a smile, "I look forward to doing it again."

After all, there were disciplines to teach and learn.

I'm good to wrap the scene whenever you are

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer was relieved to hear there were no pitfalls on the horizon for the promising cousin. "I appreciate your reassurance.

Yes, the chance to speak outside of Court is welcome." She smiled easily. "I look forward to seeing you soon."

The Notary was very excited to have the opportunity to learn from the Duchess. This mystical Oath would open up avenues to those seeking them. A goal she had been seeking for years was now attainable. Her demeanor was more relaxed as she rose, following the Duchess at a comfortable speaking distance.

"Until we meet again, Your Grace."
Jennifer escorted the Duchess to the door, seeing her out into the evening.

Yes, we can wrap Thank you for the scene, it was fun!

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Excellent scene.
