(2405)Formal Court

[Kseniya Volkova]

Kseniya keeps her head bowed as her Priscus speaks, affording her dismissal.


"I wish the same for you, Lord Jacque," she says, "Be well. I look forward to our future correspondence."


With that, Kseniya rises from her seat, moving out from Jacque's environs in order to see to her promises in ensuring her acceptance within their shared covenant.

Moving tactfully to the Seneschal's environs, the newest acknowledged Lord bows her head deeply before speaking, her tone soft and reverent.

"Baroness Jennifer Hazelton, Esteemed Notary of the First Estate, Seneschal of Sacramento and Priscus of the Nosferatu, I pray you forgive my intrusion," she said, "My acknowledgement by blood is complete and it is my sincerest hope to achieve the same with covenant in turn. I, Madam Kseniya Volkova, present myself as ready and able to receive the Oaths required by Her Majesty and the First Estate in order to begin my service to our shared goals here within the Domain of Sacramento. I am available for these discussions at your earliest convenience, I ask only that I might rectify a failure on my part in respect to Reeve Helen Kingsley before we make our arrangements."

[Verity Carmen]

Verity watches with interest as a new side of the Priscus of shadows shows, he only gives Neville a slap on the wrist but socially it is compounding a array of noticeable errors on the part of the new Kindred. ''Well Reeve Kingsley Neville over there was in court looking for Judex Jacque last month.'' Nothing secret about that. ''And the Ravenwood guy is the very same I text you about back at the start of the year.'' Green eyes flash with a little curiosity. Did she ever have that conversation? Is that why Losh is so reserved?

The Bewitching new addition has certainly shown Neville how it should be done her acknowledgement squared away in a evening and already onto her next task. Its a degree of engagement that Verity approves of, although says nothing, covenant business was not her business. So instead the Daeva ponders a interesting similarity between Father Lamech and Neville how both made other new arrivals look good by comparison. The stories diverge from their of course because Verity had made her own stumbles just covered by the father's much bigger ones. Kseniya did not seem to need the help she was receiving by contrast to the new shadow.

Finally her eyes find Raul still in his conversation. That little manoeuvre does still need to play out of course. Another night.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer glanced at Mr. Godwin and Priscus Baker. She kept her own counsel on the exchange. Dark brown eyes ignore those who have lapsed into silence. If you don't participate, you don't contribute.

Her eyes do observe the Reeve. What is she thinking? Curious speaking of antisocial behavior. She had to have noticed that one who did not bow, as she was standing near him.

Jennifer watched Whip Dominguez and his Covenant member with interest for a moment. She kept her expression composed.
"Madame Volkova, congratulations on your acknowledgement."
Her Cursed voice slithered like a serpent between the group speaking together.
"I trust that your conversation with Priscus Jack was illuminating."

Jennifer observed the Ventrue for a moment. She had trust in Priscus Jack, and was not worried with showing so.
"Madame Volkova, I understand. I would be open to meeting with you in my salon, Lotus, to discuss one's obligation to the First Estate.
Once completed, I shall make the arrangements."
The First estate members present would understand her intentions. The others did not need to know.


She observed Ms. Carmen with interest. It was good to see what was being observed and shared.

[Alessandra]

Standing from her seat, she makes her way up the couple stairs towards her office door before turning to face the room.

"It seems the Clan Mekhet cannot figure out Acknowledgement or basic manners and etiquette of this Court, as such, they will all find themselves enjoying the hospitality of the Barrens for the next two weeks."

Her announcement made, she offers a nod of respect to Jennifer Hazelton and Jacque . A smaller nod was offered to Verity Carmen and Helen Kingsley .

She then enters her office and the door closes behind her.

Ale has left the scene
