    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.

    The Savage continues her observations, seeing who talked with who, who spoke with the new face. All telling in their own way.

    A short nod was given to Conner Wells , Ale actually found his company pleasant.

    When the new Kindred speaks, Ale picks up on a few things. Name…important…Clan…still important…and Covenant. The most important. They had a new Invictus in the Domain. How would this one fair? Hearing the delicate game of introductions done by Helen earns a small smirk.

    Not feeling like crashing the party, at least, not yet, she takes a seat, still able to view the room, still able to be seen. Cain stands beside her, watching the room as well.

    Continued from (2206) Jacque's Orbit...


    Upon the arrival of the prince, Jacque bowed deeply to show respect. Inside though, he was processing the sensations of his beast. It was wild... aggressive. There was no fear from the beast. It was enough to almost make him salivate, if he wasn't so focused on reigning it back to its cage.

    The Lord was... impressed by the introduction. He hadn't quite expected it from Helen, let alone so almost accurate. Still, everyone seemed to be pussyfooting around her need of acknowledgement but despite being told he was the one to approach, she hadn't for some reason. Steel eyes watched the events and considered the possibilities. Perhaps she was waiting on the introduction before approach. She knew who he was now, and he knew her. His gaze waited patiently fixed on the mehket, waiting for her to approach if she wished to seek acknowledgement.

    The talk escalated very quickly into the matter of introduction and then Mr. Wells appeared as well. Feeling marginalised out of the trialog Al caught the glance from Jennifer and answered with a nod as a sign he had understood. Adressing those still at the Bireme to not be impolite he took his leave from there.

    "If you excuse me for a moment..."




    He walked over to the area where Jennifer sta and took post where he could be seen with a small bow.

    Aiko supresses a smile. She can practically feel the disdain for Invictus introductions in Helen's voice, despite the commendable job at following it. She turns to face Jennifer fully and bows at the waist.

    "Lady Priscus, it is humbling to stand in your presence. Not ten minutes have I spent in this domain without hearing your praises."That, and the fact that everyone and their mother has made a point to bow to the Priscus...

    Her eyes flicker off towards Jacque, his eyes watching from afar. Judging. Appraising. Aiko gathered the sentiment that perhaps she had already left him waiting long enough. She straightens up and finishes pleasantries with Priscus Hazelton for only a minute or two more. Then, before departure, Aiko takes out one of the gloves she had brought inside with her and present it to Jennifer.


    "Please allow me to offer you a small token of my deference. If I may ever be of use to you, please do not hesitate to summon me."Regardless of whether Jennifer accepts the gift or not, Aiko will deeply bow once more and take her leave, making her way over to Jacque, locking eyes with him and returning the appraisal.

    Pleasantries were exchanged between Shadows, and Conner returns Baker's kindness. It almost distracts from Priscus Hazelton's knowing look between them; but superhuman senses and months of observation would not be denied. For a brief moment Conner's heart drops to his toes.

    But then Aiko gives her name...and Clan in return. "Well met, Ms. Himura." Erring on the side of formality. If Aiko preferred first name address, she would let him know. He looks over to Helen. "Much faster now that the local rat population has been reduced. Dress a place up as spooky as you like, beasts don't do spooky like people do." A bit of light-hearted banter between Haunt and Shadow that has seen some progress over the past few months. Conner was learning to enjoy Helen's company.
    5 successes

    Then something else worries him...Priscus Hazelton's careful demeanor seems to jump into overdrive when Baker mentions the two missing persons. One of whom was of extreme importance. Who else is watching here...

    Aiko withdraws to the Seneschal, and Conner turns to Priscus Hazelton and Mr. Baker with deferential gestures to each.
    And a return to Priscus Hazelton's earlier look as if to suggest Later...away from prying ears. It was time for the Clan of Secrets to scheme in secret. In the meantime, he'll have to act as if the world isn't falling to pieces around him.

    Conner looks over to Helen, his remaining conversation partner.
    "Heard anything interesting on the street lately?" Genuine curiosity just enough to mask his own eagerness to turn the subject towards less inflammatory matters.

    Well... or not. Helen gets that acknowledgement is more important than small talk. Yet...

    Anyway. Conner Wells hasn't dropped the ball. His reply makes the corners of her mouth raise into a mischievous smile.

    "I've always thought built-in catering has its perks. Can kill the atmosphere, though, that much's true, depends on what you're going for."

    Still, while she's not specifically some Redford-level animal whisperer, rats don't bother Helen much. Hey, they got some perks, too... Asked if she's heard anything new on the streets, she ponders for a bit and shrugs.

    "Not that much apart from people going to ground apparently. I stumbles over this Arcade place some time ago that looked pretty interesting. Arcades, pinball, the full monty. Also has interesting people."

    Like Jennifer, for example. But she isn't going to rub that under Conners nose.

    "How 'bout your part of town ? Anything interesting happen lately ?"

    Jennifer gave Helen an approving nod at the introduction. There was no underhand message attached to the gesture. She was sincerely pleased with Helen's choice. Helen was shattering the pall that previous Carthians had created, for Jennifer.
    "Thank you, Helen." Paired with a nod for Helen's status in court. A message of her own - Jennifer respected what Helen chose to be called. Yet she wanted to demonstrate Helen's acknowledged status and that Jennifer respected her cousin. Yet she had expected another to make the introduction.

    Yet Jennifer turned and glanced to Alder Quartermain briefly. Then Jennifer looked between Helen, Dr. Baker, Mr.Wells, Alder Quartermain and the newcomer equally as the conversation continues.
    Jennifer observed the newcomer with some interest. She was quite polite. Already an improvemant over a few past visitors who were quite full of themselves. As she took care to address each Kindred speaking to her, Jennifer noted that she had some political savvy. That would be good to see.
    Jennifer noted that Madame Hamura did not make assumptions about how acknowledgement would go. That was already better than the previous Mekhet Priscus, Quilz.

    "Private eye." Jennifer mused, considering. That was an excellent skill set to have and to offer.Was the offer genuine? With the current trouble in the Domain, Jennifer gave the Prince a glance. A meaningful glance. She made a note to speak later. Jennifer looked back to those speaking.

    Jennifer listened closely to the Mekhet arrival, studying syntax and manner of address. The glove was examined carefully before Jennifer gracefully extended a hand and accepted the glove. She looks at it with some formalility as the new Kindred made her goodbye.

    "It was good to meet you, Madame Hamura. May you be well until we meet again. "

    Jennifer glanced to Mr. Wells.
    "Madame is the correct term, Mr. Wells." She spoke conversationally. She notes the gesture with a look directly at Mr. Wells. Had the Nosferatu clan been nothing but patient. Priscus Durant had said something about meeting in March. March had come and gone, with not a message.

    Many excuses were made for being busy, yet deftly handling one's responsibilites was important. Letting things slide suggested that they were of lesser priority. Not responding for months was not something that spoke well. Jennifer made a small nod to Mr. Wells, although her eyes were shrewd and not softened by politeness as they focuss on Mr. Wells.


    Jennifer nods to Dr. Baker as he excused himself."Excuse me. I shall go sit. Perhaps we could talk on what was mentioned the last time we were together." She states to Helen and Mr. Wells. A nod to Alder Quartermain, respectfully. And she excused herself to the table she had previously been observing from.

    The Savage stood unmoving, but ever alert and observing.

    Bits of conversation picked up, names filed away, details logged. It was important to ever be on alert.

    Hearing and seeing that the missing Reeve was noted by the Domain wasn’t good. Sure, Kindred came and went on a regular basis. But for someone to just up and leave, in a position like Reeve, was concerning.

    A meeting would need to be held; things would need to be discussed.

    Dark eyes look to Jacque and Jennifer Hazelton with a nod. Cain sensed his master was done for the night, and looked to her, ready to follow her out of Court and into her office.
