As Connor walked away from his group and toward the exit, he made sure to stop at a respectable distance before each official; Archon Twist, Senechal Jack, and Prince Antinori. He gave a bow to each, the depth of which was representative of their status within the domain, and made his way out of the exit, stopping at the coat check to collect his pistol along the way.
Quinn returned to the main area of Court, and made sure to bow first to Prince Antinori, and then to Seneschal Jack, and yes, she bowed to the Archon as well. It didn't matter if she planned on leaving with Twist. Twist had earned the respect in this court, and she would not fail to show it.
After she straightened and Twist had made her appropriate bows to those of authority, she would follow Twist out of Elysium to a more pleasant location and enjoy her company....
As the business of Elysium comes to a close, Conner exits his circle and makes his final rounds as instructed.
First, a low and silent bow to Prince Antiori. And a prayer that it went just unnoticed enough.
Second, a calculated bow to Seneschal Jack. Wondering if his conversation partner, the new Nosferatu, may yet be a worthwhile contact for the future.
And finally, a bow to Twist as she exited with his lifeline in tow. Conner's face was a stoic mask, but inwardly he was committing every violent sin imaginable against the Succubus Queen.
He keeps his pace out of Elysium slow and calculated, refusing to make eye contact with Quinn. When the doors of Elysium are finally breached, his steps quicken as he retreats into the night. Enough was enough; survival would mean nothing if he was fighting blind. It was time for answers. It was time for the Shadows of the Domain to have a long overdue discussion.
His conversation with the Prince complete, Milton makes his way through court, heading for the exit.
On his way to the door, he stops to offer a bow to both Twist and Jacque. If Quinn is still present, she will receive a nod of acknowledgement befitting her station.
After all deference is paid, Milton leaves, another successful court under his belt.
There waas a flicker of a smile from Twist as she left her small circle and Quinn stepped after her.
Cat with the cream some would describe it as.
Offering a parting curtsy to both the Prince and then the Seneschal, Twist exits Court with Quinn.
The Mekhet moved away from the side of the room to give a deep curtsy to the Prince, bowing her head to the floor. This curtsy held for several beats. The deepest curtsy of the night.
Next she moved to bow to the Archon and noted that the Archon had already left.
The Seneschal was given a curtsy and bowed head to Seneschal Jack, Priscus of the Lords.
Simone noted that the Mekhet Priscus had departed.
As that accounted for all the Domain officials, the Mekhet moved off into the night.
