    Before the Whip of Haunts could further his conversation, respects had to be paid. He had felt the descent of the Prince down the stairs and into Elysium proper, and upon turning to greet her he found that Jennifer and Twist had also entered. To Alessandra, the Haunt bowed from the waist, holding his bow for no less than 5 beats of the human heart. To Twist, a slightly less acute bow was offered and held for no less than 3 beats. And lastly, the Priscus of Haunts was given a bow of the head and shoulders, representative of the status her position offered her.

    With the formalities out of the way, Connor turned on his heels to face Bellemy once again. "Happy New Year, Cousin. A more secluded location to speak would be much appreciated." He said as he began leading the other Haunt to a more secluded corner of the room.

    Jennifer had walked in to stand beside the Seneschal, and had used her body language to suggest their support. The Lady held herself with dignity and respect, composed and calm in her measured speech.

    Jennifer immediately curtseys to the Prince. The curtsy is held to the appropriate level to indicate deep respect to the leader of the Domain.
    The Lady now gives a deep curtsy to the Archon, a shade less than the one to the Prince. The Archon was a pillar of the Domain, and deserving of respect.

    Jennifer gave the Mekhet Priscus and new Reeve a respectful deep nod of the head. Someone may be surprised to see that the nod is deeper than any Jennifer had given Quinn Durant before. Jennifer gives the Mekhet a smile, the two a matching pair in their mutual respect.
    Jennifer notes Whip O’Brien’s respect and gives him the nod held to the precise esteem that he had earned in the Court of Sacramento.
    Brown eyes watch the Ventrue near her closely, her face now smoothed to one of polite interest. She listened to the new title to Milton and gave him a meaningful glance.

    “Alder Robert Quartermain, Soldier of the First Estate.”
    Jennifer gives a respectful nod to the newcomer, mindful of his new standing to the court of Sacramento and that the Alder Soldier was acknowledged within the First Estate.
    She spoke slowly and with care, so that one could understand her words even as her Cursed voice crept, a serpent that slithered the polite words out.
    Nosferatu Curse: Jennifer's voice withers like a snake sneaking through the grass, plummeted like an old man's nearing his demise.

    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.

    Jack smiled as Milton introduced Jennifer with the perfection he had expected. Truth me told, the Lord was now distracted. Distracted to the point that he really wasn't focused on conversation or hearing all the whisperings of the many Kindred in presence. No, his eyes were on Mable Wood .

    He excused himself from the group, feeling it was left in good hands and made his way over to his current object of obsession. "Good evening Miss Wood," he mustered as he approached. He stood over her for a moment in careful consideration for several beats of a mortal heart. Long enough that it might even seem awkward. "The dress is quite suited to you." he complimented before his legs folded to a squat by her chair.

    "I would like to wish you a Happy New Year, Ms Wood. One that finds you prosper and grow like no other year before it," he mentioned with a predatory smile. "You seemed a bit... off your stride joining us tonight. In the spirit of starting off the year on the right foot I would like to offer you the opportunity to leave and re-enter to try once more." He gave a cursory glance to Alessandra and Twist before he continued, "Of course, I leave it in the capable hands of the Priscus of Gangrel or the facilitator of your education to revoke this gift of goodwill to you, should either feel it is undeserved."

    The Lord rose, having said his piece. "Good fortune to you," he murmured as he turned his back to her and returned to his prior conversation.

    failure


    Mable was unsure what she did wrong with her entrance. Maybe she needed to give more then a good evening to Jack? Did she use the wrong title for Twist?

    "Thank you, Seneschal. I appreciate your guidance. And I apologize for any mistakes made. Perhaps I am too off my stride tonight and should just leave. Thank you for your understanding." She gave a slight bow. And stood to leave.

    On her way out she gave a curtsy and bow to the Prince and Twist. "Good evening, Your Grace and Your grace."

    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    A nod of respect was offered to Twist when she entered. Looking stunning as always.

    But she did pickup on how Jacque introduced the new face. A member of the Invictus and a Lord. Titles and whatnot were noted for future use.

    Mable was not only noted for her rush into the room, or the flash of anger her Beast felt at the weaker one appearing, but the mistake she made. Dark eyes briefly close for a second. This could play out a few ways. And which way it went would decide her plan of action.

    Small groups were beginning to break away, and it was always telling who spoke with who.

    Jacque approaching Mable was expected. The situation was watched carefully, words heard, but errors not realized.

    It would have to be addressed. And as she watched her cousin leave, she knew it would have to come from her this time. This was not an Invictus thing, and thus fell to her to deal with.

    Dark eyes look to Twist , and she begins to make her way over. The Savage would not follow Mable out of Court, it could be discussed the next evening.

    “That is a remarkable shade of red.” She compliments with a small smile.

    She didn't tend to be the type to have her head on a swivel, working to catch every phrase possible during Court. But between her looking for Mable and a few key phrases she did catch Jacque's announcement. Head tilting, she turned toward him. Him and apparently a new Invictus to the city. Dark eyes unabashedly traveled the length of the man. There was little about him that stood out. Without Jacque's introduction, there was no doubt that she would have ignored the man.

    Her name spoken by a familiar voice. Ah. There was Mable. She started to smile briefly in greeting but stoppped as Mable made her ... respects. Stepping forward, dark eyes narrowing, she realized she was too late. Jacque, the Seneschal of the domain Jacque, was already there at her side.

    She had no need to work to catch his words. She was actively listening. And it was hard, so very hard not to snarl, but she managed.

    2 successes


    She took a step forward, and another, meant to carry her after the retreating form of Mable. But a surge from her Beast announced Alessandra 's approach. The Prince's approach. Twist didn't hesitate before dropping into a curtsy before Ale. "Your Grace," she murmured, dark eyes down cast as thoughts raced through her.

    At Ale's words, Twist exhaled and straightened, a pleasant smile on her face. "Thank you. I truly believe it is the beading that makes it stand out. The glass lends a depth, a darkness if you will, that without it would simply make the dress gaudy." As she spoke, she ran her hands down her figure, tracing her formthe mentioned fabric and beading. And if her confident gesture didn't quit make her eyes sparkle the way it normally did, well, it had to be understood... she had been waiting to see Mable's fate after all.

    "I must say that I find the contrast you have gone with in yours most striking," she said honestly, taking the chance of having Ale close to truly look over the dress she was wearing.

    It seemed that at least for tonight Mable's unlife would continue.

    There was a nod as she was better able to see the beading. “I must admit, it certainly does. Not something I would have expected.” But fashion was not something the Savage was known for. “It draws the eyes to the delicate detail.”

    Glancing at her own dress for the evening, “Thank you. I was unsure about it, but once I put it on it felt right. Fashion is not my strong suit, but I felt the need to try.” Though it would always pale in comparison to Twist. And she was ok with that, let the Daeva hold the attention.

    Then the problem that was in the room. “Seem’s there is a problem that must be addressed.” A knowing look to Twist. No, the Savage had not forgotten. The mistake made her look bad, and it would be handled. How many warnings of the same offense had to be given before action was taken? Her and Mable went way back, before she was Prince. Maybe she had a soft spot for her cousin. But even she had limits and knew the political game within the Domain.

    Quinn watched the whole thing unfold right in front of her. True she had been distracted with her blood lust for a moment, and enough that she may have put it out of her mind. Then the Seneschal stepped in and up to Mable to address the disrespect she showed him, and Mable was ignorant of why the Seneschal was pissed. Quinn kept her expression neutral, and her emotions off of her face in this moment. Watching with a beautiful mask as the whole mess rolled on and out of court. Her gaze like a ping pong ball in a machine bouncing to the Seneschal, to Mable, to the Arcon, to the Prince and some combination in between in the reverse.

    Hide Emotion


    For the moment the Shadow Priscus didn't appear to be willing to engage this evening. She continually checked her phone, almost impatiently. As if waiting for some confirmation. Finally her clutch buzzed, and she quickly pulled her phone out and read the message. Her eyebrows shot up once, and then the expression smoothed. That was that then.

    She moved to where Conner and Helen were having such an excellent chat. This could not wait and would not be for public consumption.
