    Continued from (2205) Formal Court...


    William Smiled at Albert. "Good evening, we meet again! I was hoping our paths would cross again. I am William Walker." William had not been happy that he was not able to speak with the gentleman last time he was at court. "Its a pleasure to meet you..."

    Albert returned the smile.

    "Thank you, Mr. Walker. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I'm Dr. Baker. It seems to me you have arrived relatively recently. May I be so bold to ask where you are from and what covenant you belong to?"


    That might become interesting after all...

    William smiled "My last domain was Lancaster as for covenant I am temporarily flying solo. Currently I am exploring my options."

    "If I may be so bold what covenant is lucky to have you as a member and what are you a doctor of." William was also a doctor, but he didn't mind if the title wasn't used...Well unless someone annoyed him.

    Al smiled, delighted to meet a fellow Englishman far from home as he was.

    "Ah, I see. Lancashire. Quite a beautiful county, if you ask me and the city has its amenities. may I ask what brought you away from there and into this domain?"

    He raised an eyebrow and his gaze wandered to his amulet as if to ask whether it wasn't obvious, then focused on William again.

    "I am currently half of the Circle in this domain, though I have to say I'm still learning about the local faction. Should you seek enlightenment on that, the Hierophant might be able to help you better than can, for she has been here longer than me."

    With a nod and after a frown as he looked around the room for Mabel, he answered the last question.

    "I happen to be a doctor of philosophy, French literature and I used to be a teacher before retirement. May I ask what your profession is?"

    William smiled at Albert "I loved Lancaster, not as much as I loved Yorkshire or Northumberland but it will always hold a place in my heart. I relocated to Lancaster because that is where my Mentor was based. However, once my mentorship came to an end there were expectations based off the path my mentor chose to walk and I wanted to walk my own path. I may look the Hierophant up at some point. Worst case scenario is I learn a little more about the Circle, best case I end up joining. If you have her phone number I can give her a call at some point."

    He paused for a second "My profession, I am a doctor of Hymenoptera, a business man and a student I am currently studying Philosophy, religion and Ethics. The classic triple threat."

    "Do you specialise in Eastern or Western Philosophy?" William searched his memories, had he read any philosophy books written by Dr Baker... he didn't think so but a search his book collection and consulting Dr Google was a must.

    Al smiled wistfully upon William mentioning Yorkshire, the home that had been denied to him, as he wouldn't put it beneath the Hamleighs to embrace one of their number there to wait, in case he went home again.

    "Ah yes, Yorkshire..."

    With a nod he took a card out of his pocket and wrote the contact information on it, before passing it to him.

    "I do have that, though as it may be, it might not be very useful. You see, she isn't here and this meeting is mandatory by pain of losing Acknowledgement. So either she is just late, excused or something has happened to her... Anyway, should you not be able to reach her, I'll be glad to try and help you."

    When William mentioned being an entomologist, a businessman and a student, an eyebrow arched up quizzically, as Al wondered how that might be possible. As far as he knew studying and being a scientist were both quite time-consuming on their own..
    "Ah, an entomologist, I see. Though I wonder how a business and studying both beside that are possible... Depends on the business, of course..."



    "Western philosophy. I have written a rather obscure paper which hasn't found much acclaim or attention."

    On a second look for the Hierophant he realized that the effort undertaken to be social had lead to a sort of tunnel vision on his interlocutor and he had in fact missed a terribly important detail happening in the room, namely the arrival of the two kindred of the highest rank and it was most certainly to be assumed, that had been noted. The smile faded very quickly and was replaced by trepidation and concern.

    "Feck. Not again..."

    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.

    Not waiting for an invite, not waiting for a pause in the conversation and without a smile, she speaks.

    “I’m not sure if was your Sire or your Priscus who didn’t teach you basic manners when Court Officials enter the room. But I, urge, you to fix it before the next Court.” Her tone even, measured and with an edge. “We will not be having this discussion again.” She was done playing nice. If Kindred wanted to reside within her Domain, they would have fucking basic manners. Dark eyes move from William to Albert making sure her words were heard before she turns and walks away, not waiting for a reply. The reply would be in actions.

    William looks at Albert, he remains quiet for a moment. What he had to say, didn't need to happen here. "Seems like we have messed up slightly." Internally he smirked, the Prince rolled in like a storm and then stormed away like a child. Mischeif managed he thought to himself.

    He looked at Albert "What time does the business portion of the evening usually start?" If there was a business portion.

    Al wanted to say something but then trouble arrived, though turning out to be less severe than anticipated... fortunately. It was a good sign, though it would be better not to repeat this, for surely Her Graces clemency had limits. Regardless it took a moment for him to compose himself and reply.

    "Quite a bit, actually."

    On the question, when the 'business portion' would start, he raised an eyebrow quizzically.

    "I'd ask you to define what you mean with that, if you please."

    "Is there a part of the evening where any news and announcements are done?" surely it wasn't a formal court just for a social but then again.. it was always a possibility. Those Invictus types loved some state mandated fun. He paused for a second "Also, what's the deal with the Piano? I see a lot of people looking at it but no one plays it."
