(2605)Ale and Jenn

[Alessandra]

The Savage steps off to the side, allowing Jenn to ascent the short stair case. Cain also moves, he knew Jenn, had been around her numerous times, but he still places himself close to Ale, still watched the Haunt. It was just in his nature, just what he was.

Nodding, “Did you?” leaving the conversation open if Jenn wished to speak on it or not. Not prying, for it wasn’t how Ale was. Jenn knew this, she could share, or not.

“I’ve been meaning to send you a copy of a report the Reeve sent me, it was very through and well written, I was quite impressed. In fact.” A cell was taken out of her pocket a quick and short message was sent. A few moments later, Gabriel walks out of the door with a folder, and hands it to Jenn with a bow to Ale, and then to Jenn, before disappearing again. “There we go.” A smile. That was something she had been meaning to do.

“What are you thoughts on Court last month?”

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer ascends the staircase as the Savage Priscus made room on the area. Jennifer gives a look to Cain. Every time that she saw Cain, there was a sense of wonder. The care and creation that went into his existence never ceased to amaze her. Jennifer did appreciate the role that he had around Alessandra, even if his aura demanded respect in Jennifer.
Jennifer looks down over the room as she processed the Savage’s opening words. Jennifer thought about how she would proceed. There was something that had been on Jennifer’s mind and the Haunt proceeded.
“I received a letter from Priscus Silvers regarding an ongoing investigation.”
Jennifer states to Alessandra.

“I would be curious about the report. There is a lot one could learn in these.” Jennifer did believe in seeing what was said and what was unsaid. Jennifer was curious about how the Reeve would measure up when held to the past Reeve. Jennifer looked around the attendees of Court as Ale referred to last Court. No, she did not see the nearly unknown who had come in.
“It was concerning. Whenever the solemnity of Court is disturbed, it is concerning. Although I did not catch what the outcome was. Was the Kindred who allegedly committed assault found by the Reeve?”

The report was brought forward and Jennifer made a pleased smile as she accepted the folder. Jennifer made a nod to Liam as he performed his duty. Jennifer opened the folder and looked to Ale with an eye glance indicating the report. "Do you have thoughts on the investigation or anything related?"

[Alessandra]

An eyebrow raised, “Which investigation? I know she was involved with one I was helping with, though I lost touch with her due her being compromised.” Facts were facts at the time. And they could have changed.

Dark eyes look about the Court as well, “I have yet to hear from him about that. I had hoped to speak with the Kindred in question in a meeting room, gather more information and set forth a plan. We can’t have random assaults happening after all. But he seemed to have lost his voice and didn’t want to speak to me, not the wisest move on his part, but no one ever said everyone is the smart. So I hope the Reeve will be able to bring him in for a meeting with the two of us.” No one gets out of talking with her when she wants to talk to them.

“I appreciate the prompt communication I received and the assurance that I will receive updates as they happen. As you know, this is, thus far, a great improvement over previous attempts. I know how the first investigation started, I was there, I have knowledge and I have some ideas as to who our fallen Kindred is. It’s welcome to see a Reeve making sure they’re thoroughly investigating.” She had giving him her thoughts and names. Now to see where he took them. “I also offered to assist if he needed it.” But she had faith.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer thought about the best way to respond to the Alder prince. Absolute honesty was Jennifer's policy with Ale. Yet there was a strong sense of discretion being the better part of valor in this matter. Jennifer did not want to set off unintended consequences by a slip of the tongue.

"Priscus Silvers sent a letter about the investigation where Kylar, the Reeve Schneider, you and I met at Lotus to discuss." Jennifer replied to Ale. That would tell her which investigation without revealing the topic to those who were trying to hear what the Prince and Seneschal were discussing. There was no privacy in Elysium.

"I was contacted about that." Jennifer affirmed that she knew what the Alder Prince was referring to.

"I imagine that the Reeve gathered his contact information. He is of his Blood, is he not? If not, it should be rather easy to locate the individual." Jennifer states. "If the Reeve did not do so, a simple investigation could find the assault victim.

I am curious about what was stated by the assault victim. He did not mention the offender by name, which suggests that he does not know it."
Which suggests a newcomer has brought trouble to Ale's Domain.

"Then I am glad to find out more." Jennifer states to the Alder Prince. After all, this was the first that she had been informed by official channels. Jennifer was still unsure how she felt about that. As the Kindred who was sharing information to Jennifer invoked some different thoughts as to their motives.
Jennifer read a few pages of the report that had been provided.

"This is the most recent report? When was it delivered to you? My concern is that this line." Jennifer indicates yet to be conclusively identified.
"The Reeve may be exercising extreme care, yet this information on the identity was given to me."

[Alessandra]

Before she replies to Jenn, she feels her Beast snarl in rage at the weakness of a new Beast enter. Dark eyes look to see a familiar face as her Beast demands the flesh of this weak one, but she pulls the chain once again. No need for violence.

Yet.

Cain senses the new Kindred and takes notice, his murderous gaze following the Shadow. But the Hell Hound remains in his place, not moving, but ever on alert, waiting. Eager for a command.

The Savages own eyes narrow this one who returns. Will he flee the Domain again? Make a joke of himself to the Invictus again?

If she could take a deep breath, she would. But, she doesn’t so she focuses back on Jenn, “Interesting. I didn’t realize she had been involved. Is this a discussion you would like to have in a more private setting? Perhaps in my office on a different night? Or would you like to continue it tonight? I’m not aware of how that investigation has progressed so I don’t wish to compromise it.” There was the faceless masses ever present, and one never knows who is listening.

A shrug, “That was what was stated when the Kindred found his tongue again. I do still have an object in my possession he dropped that I’ll be investigating soon.” Nodding, “All he said was that it was a female if I heard him correctly as I was attempting to handle an Acknowledgment.” Attempting was the key term there.

Ale provides the date it was delivered, “It’s been the only report delivered.” Jenn would notice an edge in her voice now. “If there have been others, they have not been delivered to me. Which would go against direct orders.” Which would have consequences. “I have my ideas as to who the Kindred in question is, and provided the name to him. I kept a key piece of evidence to help confirm it in case there were ever any doubts, but no one has approached me.” Dark eyes darken further, “Should I have been approached sooner Seneschal? Is there something you should be telling me? Perhaps why the Reeve would be going against my direct orders?”

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"I think that a private conversation on a different night would be beneficial, Your Grace."
"I do believe that there has been involvement by the Priscus Silvers, as evidenced by the letter that I recieved recently. I do believe that the Priscus of the Daeva has been reliable in providing reports with information." Jennifer states. "Although I do have an issue with how she phrases things in flowery pose. You know that I have been known to speak a bit, yet in this case I was left unsure of a few facts. I do hope that a new letter arrives with clarification."

As Ale asks for clarification, Jennifer takes a moment to re - read the sentence that had caused her issue.
"It is quite possible for two things to be correct." Jennifer states when she lowered the paper to meet the Alder Prince's eyes.
"It is possible that I was sent some information that had not been shared with the Reeve. It is possible that the Reeve Schneider wished to have authentication before he committed to you. One moment while I confirm the date."
Jennifer makes a gesture with a finger.

Liam steps in and offers a leather hand written notebook where Jennifer consulted a calendar and her handwritten notes about correspondence. Jennifer handed the notebook to Liam, who bowed to Prince, his regnant, and gave a respectful berth to Cain as he descended the staircase to find the wall once more.
"The meeting wrapped up when I had the identity on February 1st. I was not informed by Reeve Schneider."

"Attempting?" Jennifer picked up on that. "Do tell me that Kylar managed his Acknowledgement." There is a tone in her voice. Jennifer would not express such a tone with the Alder Prince, yet it was annoyance that a matter had not been addressed when the Prince herself had stepped in on the Acknowledgement.

[Alessandra]

A simple nod, “Then that’s what we’ll do. I’m sure we can come to an agreement on a time that works best for us both.”

Frowning slightly as she listens, taking in what was being said. “If that is an issue, then perhaps you should let her know you prefer reports that are more straight to the point. Our time is precious and cannot be wasted sifting words that are not needed to get a message across. A report is not a book nor poetry, it is a report, plain and simple. If the matter persists, send the report back. I wouldn’t waste my time with such nonsense; I have a Domain and other things to run. Your time is important as well.”

The Italian gives Jenn her moment. It was no secret she trusted the Haunt, so this issue was a surprise to her. But one she was determined to get settled.

“So if you were not informed by Reeve Schneider, then who were you informed by? And has the Reeve been informed of this name? It seems there is a clear lack of communication going on.” Pausing, “Again.”

A laugh, “Quite the opposite. I asked him a question, one that I guess was too difficult for him to answer for he didn’t answer and the night grew late. We are still at the stage where he is unacknowledged. Believe me, I will be handling it when he decides to grace us with his presence, no one else will be handling his Acknowledgment but myself, I find it quite rude to not provide an answer when spoken to.”

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"Yes, we shall." Jennifer agreed. It was good that the two of them were able to communicate seamlessly.

"I have sent her two letters to tell her to correct the behavior. I am unsure where she has been of late.
I was informed by Priscus Silvers. The Daeva Priscus gave some idea that she was working with the Reeve. Yet with her communication style..."
Jennifer shakes her head slightly.
"I cannot fathom such behavior. The privilege of you stepping in-" Jennifer looks down at the Kindred down below. Her Beast had snarled at the approach of a smaller Beast. Jennifer had expected Kylar to appear to make himself right. Although she notes the arrival of an unexpected return to the Domain of Mr. Godwin.

"Hunting out of your Domain has to be taking up his time. Why is he not getting this simple matter addressed in a timely manner?" The Nosferatu states with a shake of her head.
"Mr. Godwin has returned. It appears the opportunity for Kylar has arrived." Jennifer gave a wry grin towards Alessandra.
"Shall we attend to the Acknowledgements?"

[Alessandra]

Blood red lips form a thin line as she nods, “I see. I can fill you in some of that. She had assisted myself and the previous Reeve to some extent, and when Gabriel and I left with a package to secure it, Gabriel alerted me to her being compromised. She had been followed. So I didn’t alert her to where I was with the said package, it was too great a security risk. I got Reeve Schneider involved, who was of great assistance, and I advised him that she had helped some in the beginning and he could reach out to her if he wanted to. So it sounds like he did involve her. But I do agree, the communication style leaves quite a bit to be desired. If she had pieced together what the package was, with what little information she had, color me surprised.” Truly.

“Do you want to call it a privilege? I’m not sure I would at this point.” It was an inconvenience for her.

And there was her Beast, pacing, snarling, as a weaker Beast entered Elysia. As dark eyes find the Kindred, she finds him doing something…odd. Still, she soothes her Beast, putting it in its corner.

What was he doing? She wasn’t sure, but she would find out.

“Your guess is as good as mine. Acknowledgements are not time-consuming matters, but clearly some feel they have better things to do.”

Looking to Jenn, “Yes, it seems we both have matters to attend to.” Turning to the stairs to let Jenn descend before Cain will walk down before the Savage will as well.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"A unique turn of events." Jennifer replied. "That makes some of her words make a bit more sense. I could see your point." Jennifer responds.

"I certainly find the behavior perplexing." As Alessandra turns to the staircase, Jennifer bids. "Good evening, Alder Prince."

Jennifer descends the stair case to make her way with grace towards Mr. Godwin.
