The Haunt began unmasking his beast for the social interaction that was upcoming, if they were going to debate on a Kindred matter, they might as well do so with Kindred stressors. Then he realized, The Seneschal had him with his back to the wall. He was right about questioning the size of the establishment and his Herd. He was sure it was large enough for the members he expected, but any surprises and he would be up shit creek without a paddle, as they say.
In response, he bowed to both the Judex and the Seneschal. "I'm sorry to have wasted time for the both of you. I've come to agree with the Seneschal that he should host this time, at least until a point in time when my establishment is larger and my Herd more established; both of which should be handled by the meeting following February's." His attention shifted between the both of them. "If it would please Your Grace and the Seneschal," A shift back to Jack alone. "I would like to offer my Herd as a supplement to The Seneschal's own, if you'll do me the honor of accepting it." A fair deal, to some degree. While the Seneschal would receive most of the Honor as host, there might still be some recognition of Connor's contribution.
