(2405)Formal Court

[Seryna]

Kindred move around the room. Some watching the Kindred of note closely. Mr. Waldorf is noted look over to Losh and Mr. Dominguez. He appears to be following thier motions with interest. These kindred are immersed in thier own conversations.

[Albert Baker]

Al nodded abruptly and didn't comment much on that.

"If you'd excuse me."

First he turned to Neville and pointed at a corner on the other end of the room. The accompanying words sounded less like a polite suggestion and more like an order.

"Mr. Godwin, we need to have a talk. Over there, please."

With that done he approached the group around Raul, looking not very amused to be forced to have a talk like that in public.

"I'd need to abduct Mr. Ravenwood for a while, Mr. Dominguez."

Turning to Losh he pointed at the same corner again not bothering with much politeness, as he was the source for much of that plight after all.

"Mr. Ravenwood, a word over there, whether you please or not."

[Jennifer Hazelton]

“In the future, do give a bow as soon as her Grace or others worthy of respect enter.” That voice was professional, yet respectful as Jennifer addresses Mr. Ravenwood.
“I would be interested in hearing of your plans, when you have the time.” A nod was paid to Ravenwood, to just the right note as someone acknowledged in the Domain.
Ravenwood had expressed a reason why a mistake was made. Jennifer addressed it in kind. Well intentioned mistakes were treated in this manner. Had there been arrogance displayed, the Seneschal would be more severe.

A look was given to Mr. Godwin. That had been a good segue way into a conversation that Jennifer would be interested in at a later date, for a summons by a Priscus should be met with alacrity.

Jennifer observed the three Mekhet as Priscus gathered his Clan.
I would be embarrassed to be reminded to acknowledge someone if they had been in the domain over one month. Yet perhaps Priscus Baker was getting used to me acknowledging. I did have to intervene for Mr. Ravenwood.

Brown eyes find the Gangrel winner of the brawling competition. She observes for a moment, comfortable with a silence.
“Is it going well for me?” The corners of her lip upturn slightly into a slight smile, letting the Gangrel interpret that as he would with how the Mekhet clan and Jennifer had just interacted with one another. Jennifer made a slight inclination of a nod to the Gangrel in a public display of acknowledging his standing as determined by the Domain, to publicly show that this was not a scratch against the Gangrel.
“Reeve.” Jennifer had noticed when Helen had returned from a glance at the chest board and gave her the same respect of acknowledging her presence. Jennifer walked with lady - like confidence to a table and took a seat.
“Join me, if you wish. Tell me of your evenings.”

[Raul]

Raúl watches as Losh finally moves to acknowledge the officers in the court, or at least one of them. That worries him a bit, but he doesn't comment. He does listen to what the man is saying, as he speaks with the Seneschal.

He gives a smile over towards Mr. Waldorf when he meets the Dragon's gaze, nodding to him.

He nods to Priscus Baker and chuckles softly. "Certainly. Just make sure you return him." Eventually.
He doesn't rush to end the silence between him and Jennifer. It's quite comfortable, right. He does turn towards her and meets that smile with one of his own, a bare smirk. "It would seem it's getting better. Hopefully I can borrow a bit of that luck later," he says, nodding over to Helen when the Seneschal invites her over. "If you ladies will excuse me, I see someone I need to talk with for a moment." He gives a bow to both before he steps away and makes his way towards Mr. Waldorf, to catch up with him and see how the night fares for his fellow Dragon.

[Verity Carmen]

Continued from By Royal decree...

Taking a circuitous route around the room Verity uses the chance to greet, say hello to or pass comment with any she does pass giving her time to take stock of how the room had changed. Jacque and the new lord are over there. Mistry green eyes sweeping. Raul is talking to Mr. Waldorf. She thought decently of both. Oh interesting. Noting the shadows being summoned and the manner of their Priscus in doing so. That leaves me with.

Verity approaches The Reeve and Seneschal. Head bowing lower for the latter over the former but low enough to show the due respect to both. ''Seneschal Hazelton. Reeve Kingsley. A busy night it seems. A lot going on.'' It was good to see, to experience a court rife with activity like this, things changing, progressing the social shark tank as it were being what it should be. Mostly. ''It's treating you both well I hope.'' Not fully up to date on the proceedings her attention having been focused on conversing with the Prince. Either way I'll be caught up quick enough.

[Helen Kingsley]

"Depends on how you see it, I guess. Seems like some business is faster than other stuff." A side eye to Losh accompanies the sentence. "So this Ravenwood guy and this Godwin don't seem too sociable." Yeah, rich coming from her, but still, they've left an impression. "Seems like Priscus Baker follows up in Quinn Durants shoes in getting the fun guys to work with. These guys claim any covenants ?" Meaning, who else gets the fun end of that stick or is Baker doubly fucked ?
