*gives a brief nod to Elisabeth*

The meeting shall start when all are present

*Elisabeth nods back*

I will wait. How are you, my lord?

I am well, thank-you, Miss Elisabeth

*seems much more relaxed than he was last night*

*Elisabeth takes a sip of wine*

Good, good... tell me... how many of us are there living in this city, my lord?

Not many, but in a city the size of Requiem, Kindred can only be few..

*glances at the door*

*Elisabeth hoped for a more accurate answer*

Yes. Of course.

*she also looks at the door for a moment. no one seems to come*

*steps inside quietly*

*Elisabeth turns her head and sees... Alicia? Was that her name? She gives her a friendly nod, then turns away again*

*gives her a nod*

Welcome Lady Alicia, the meeting will start shortly

*smiles*
I am glad i did not miss anything

Nothing at all, we are about to begin a meeting to discuss the Sabbat threats.

*sips his drink*

We will wait just a few more minutes for any more stragglers then we shall begin

*Lady Lowell, arrives fashionably late*

*looks over the gathered residents aloofly*


*As she takes her seat near the Prince..*


This had better be good, cousin.. I was rather busy when you put out the call </>


*Casts her eyes about the room; looking very bored*

Oh it's good...or should I say bad..</>

*stands*

Kindred, if I may have your attention. The Meeting of Elysium shall now commence.

I received word from Sheriff Wormwood that there is evidence that the hated Sabbat are infringing on our territories, they are killing the kine and threatening the Masquerade.

*Lowell's blood stirs at the mention of the Sabbat*

We believe there is a Sabbat spy here among us..they have..certain information

*looks momentarily fightened, but then the veneer of calm is back*

I would like you all to find out whatever you can about the Sabbat threats, you may of course call upon myself or the good Sheriff to aid in your investigations.

*the assembled crowd murmurs among themselves*


*Lowell leans towards her cousin*

So.. 'this' is what happens when you allow free access into your City, little Prince..


*this attitude toward the Prince goes back many centuries, to the dispute between their Sires*

*frowns slightly at Lowell*

You know as well as I do, *cousin*, that free access is the only way to make sure I am accepted by the Camarilla Justicars...

*suddenly realises he was talking too loudly*

Our sires were always bound to fight, are we to follow the same pattern?</>

*leans closer to the Prince*


Darling.. we can't help ourselves.. </>

*She strokes her fingertips along his jawline, then sits back in her chair*

*She flashes her eyes towards the crowd, most looking quickly glance away before she can delve into their minds*

*raises his hand to his jawline, almost without noticing*

*small laugh*

Sometimes, my cousin, I think you are a more dangerous adversary that all the Sabbat combined.

*Lowell's grin verges almost on the point of evil*

*still not taking her eyes off the crowd, she replies quietly*


As long as you remember that.. little Prince.


*considering her own petite size, Lady Lowell grins wider at her joke*
