Helen observes those who enter after her as well as those who bunch up in a group. But this, as well as the exchange of recognition formalities is sorta swept to the wayside when the Prince arrives. The dress strikes her as somewhat extravagant, but that's undoubtedly the intention behind it, even when not necessarily taking her own, more... conservative appraoch into account. Still, without much further ado, she postpones those reflections, as the presence of the Prince demands the appropriate token of respect due to that particular kindred's position. Thus, she curtsies long and deep as is due and expected in the way she's been instructed to when she first got here. As they enter, the Iudex and Seneshal are also afforded their due.
Interestingly enough, the man who played a role in the parting ruckus in the last court appears. She's not too sure what to make of some of the stuff he's carrying. It seems like he really has a bone to pick with Jennifer, at least according to the little stuff he does and the one he doesn't do... She still wonders what he's up to when he approaches and addresses her. Well, this might get interesting indeed.
"Helen Kingsley, Mr Heinrich."
Not that she expects him to be overly surprised she knows who he is. Or anyone, really. She shortly gets distracted by Bellemy's arrival.
"Sure, Miss Salem."
Her hands disappear behind her back as she focuses back on Edward and looks straight up into his eyes to make up the 4 inches of height difference between the two of them.
"You see, people who openly disrespect the head of my family and then expect me to react like that didn't happen ? I don't like those. Or, if you think about the Position of Priscus in a domain like this, perhaps it is worthy of the respect due to someone who is afforded the powers they have been granted by the Prince, regardless of what you think of the particular person holding the title ? I mean, that's the way I learned it way back."
She lets that sink in a little and puts some extra sugar into her voice, just for him. Perhaps it not only gives him an in, but maybe it makes the upcoming decision a little more more palatable.
"First case, this meeting is over. Second case, feel free to join me. I'd say the decision on whether you're intruding or not is yours."
