    Connor leads Bellemy to a table secluded in the corner of the Elysium proper, where he pulled out a chair for her. He waited until Bellemy was seated and comfortable before taking his own seat and waiting for her to be ready to continue the conversation.

    Bellemy followed Connor and sat in the offered chair as was proper by the standards of etiquette. "Thank you." the haunt added. Is this to be a formal discussion or a more laid back conversation I wonder. Bellemy considered.

    The haunt sat straight backed and proper in the chair
    And politly waited for Connor to speak.

    Connor takes a seat across from Bellemy with a smile. "No need to be so formal, Cousin. I just wanted to speak to you so that we can be on the same page about our mutual endeavor. All of the proper documentation has gone through an, barring any unforeseen events, we now have a location for meetings. One with plenty of liquid courage to loosen lips and spill secrets. How are we going on finding members?"

    Bellemy was quite pleased at the news. "Oh that is simply marvelous. Is there anything at all that I can do to assist. I have some resources available to me and I feel I am not pulling my weight in the partnership."

    Bellemy smiled at his question. "Oh yes, we are coming along swimmingly. I have yet to approach anyone as I of course would appreciate your insight. I have been compiling a guest list of influential candidates of the kine I will see you get a copy before any moves are made. More importantly I have been thinking carefully about who among our kindred may enjoy an occasional invitation to our illustrious halls once we are truly established."

    Jennifer walks up to conversational distance to Connor and Bellemy. She is escorting another Kindred.

    "Good evening." Jennifer greets, to ensure both have a chance to address one another regarding their previous conversation and look to her and the new Alder Soldier Quartermain. The Nosferatu gives a respectful nod to the Alder as she introduces him. "I wanted to introduce you to a new arrival to the city: Alder Robert Quartermain, Soldier of the First Estate, of the line Ventrue."

    "Alder Soldier Quartermain, may I introduce you to Whip Connor O'Brien, Whip of the Nosferatu and member of the First Estate. I want to introduce you to Madame Bellemy Salem, of the line Nosferatu."

    Dark eyes tick back to the Alder briefly. No doubt the Curses of the Family were going to be a treat. The Lady attends to each conversationalist as they speak.

    "Honestly Cousin," The Whip starts in response to Bellemy, "I have plenty of resources to take a hit every now and again when it comes to meeting. The benefits will far outweigh the loss. I don't require it, but if you are truly concerned about 'pulling your weight' just buy our guests libations at cost every now and again. Otherwise, your work into compiling a guest list is more than enough." The Haunt gives some thought to any Kindred he might like to see invited, but his thoughts are cut short as he feels the approach of another kindred. Bellemy, being the sole creature looking him in the face at the moment, would be able to see the tell tale signs of a fight or flight response, geared heavily towards fight if the small snarl forming on his lips is to be believed. With a roll of his neck the beast is pushed down into the recesses of his mind.

    With the easily recognizable voice of the curse stricken Priscus come more relief. Connor stands from his seat and offers a bow of his head and shoulders to Jennifer. "Thank you for the introduction, Lady Notary, it is much appreciated." He then turns to the new comer, the Alder Soldier Quartermain. ​"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Alder Soldier Quartermain. What brings you to Sacramento, if I may ask?"

    As they departed the prior conversation, the Solider made a point to present an offering, an opportunity perhaps, in his posture. His body language could have easily been read as waiting for the Lady Notary to escort him to the other conversation, or it could have just as easily been read as him extending one elbow for her arm – a proper escort, after all, for she was a Lady. The opening, both literal and symbolic, was small; she could as easily ignore it without anyone the wiser or take it at her choosing.

    His features, this time, remained schooled in polite and careful gentility as he nodded to each of the two haunts in kind. Some lingering memory trickled along the back of his spine at them – recalling haunted faces and darker hearts from ages past. Still, it would not do to display any disgust at Madame Salem’s form or to the palpable aura of dread clinging to the Whip.

    “Whip O’Brien,” he responded, nodding politely. “Madame Salem. The pleasure is mine.”

    He then turns to the new comer, the Alder Soldier Quartermain. ​"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Alder Soldier Quartermain. What brings you to Sacramento, if I may ask?"
    “A desire for new fates and fortunes,” he replies smoothly, “I am late of New York and wished to see more of the Country after a recent return to the Danse. I have found Her Grace’s Domain to be a place of charm, courtesy, and welcome; as such I have asked if I might be allowed to remain for some time.”

    Bellemy watched as Connor's demeanor briefly changed. A fraction of a second later the haunt too felt the pull of another beast. A scarlet haze of rage consumed the creature. The challenge of an equal calling for Bellemy to embrace the predator and shred the interloper to pieces.

    Of course, Bellemy was skilled in dealing with the beast and so no moves were made to start a fight. Instead Bellemy concentrated on the soothing presence of Jennifer. The mask of calm once again restored. "Priscus." Bellemy said with a bow as Jennifer joined the group with the new comer.

    Introductions were made and Bellemy considered the man. Bellemy was unfamiliar with the title and so judged that it was best to err on the side of caution with a nod of respect the haunt replied "It is very nice to make your acquaintance. Alder Soldier, I am not familiar with this title, Might I ask what it means?"

    For a moment, her eyes are on the Prince and the Archon, taking a moment to mark the reactions of the most important conversation in the room at the moment. The unfourtanate situation with Seneschal Jack and Madame Wood was awkward, yet he handled it with all the grace and craft of a true Kindred of Qaulity by the Seneschal. There were volumes of intense possibility between the two.

    As Alder Soldier respectfully draws her back to her immediate area by offering to escort her, Jennifer returns to briefly glance at the newcomer.
    Jennifer does accept the arm of the Alder, moving with a presence of a graceful lady. She does give him an appreciative glance, meeting the eyes of Quartermain in a rare gesture of trust and respect.
    Interesting. Jennifer reflects as she catches a few words exchanged between Whip O'Brien and Bellemy Salem. I do wonder what they are scheming. It cannot be too precious, if they discuss it in Open Court.

    Jennifer inclines her head slightly to Connor, acknowledging his words gracefully. Dark eyes mark the question posed to Alder Soldier.

    Just what was this Kindred made of? Would he thrive in the Court of Sacramento, or be burned by the crucible of Sacramento?

    "You may inquire, Madame Bellemy." Jennifer replies in a gracious tone of voice, although the supernatural leeches into every word she speaks. Ever so politely.
    "They are terms used within the Invictus. Alder reflects the respect that Alder Soldier Quartermain deserves for thriving for so long, when so many flounder and sink beneath the sands of time." A slight pause for that important grain to be absorbed.

    A look is given to Whip O'Brien, dark eyes then returning to Bellemy for a moment. An opportunity presented.

    A small polite smile to the Alder.
    "Sacramento does offer many opportunities."

    What would he pursue?

    As warm a smile as Haunt can muster is painted on his face at Quartermain's response. "Very similar to my own motivations," he says, his tenor voice accentuated with his usual Irish lilt, "and I have found myself describing Her Grace's domain in much the same way. Please, allow me to be among the first to welcome you to Sacramento." The Whip studies Quartermain for a moment before moving on. "You say you hail from New York, Alder Soldier? My sire, The Good Alder Viscount Lucian LaChance, kept a Manor in Southampton. It truly is a small world we live in."

    Then Bellemy's question comes and he looks to Jennifer briefly to see what her initial response is. With the look from his Priscus, he understands exactly what is happening. Both a test and an opportunity. "While I will not currently speak on the title of Alder any more than the Lady Notary already has; It is the Alder Soldier's story to tell on that front. The short of the title of Soldier is that it denotes a warrior for the First Estate; to put it in the barest terms. Soldiers are typically more martially inclined than those without the title, not to say that there aren't exceptions, but hold to no strict Oath of Duty as a Knight would; as such, they enjoy a bit more autonomy in deciding who and what they fight for. Is this a fair assessment, Alder Soldier Quartermain?" The Haunt had taken some time to study; he's interested in the role himself, after all.
