Sabrina sniffless and wipes her eyes, a tear of blood had run down her left cheek which was swiftly scrubbed away by her well manicured hands. She looks up at Vychtorya from her 'hiding' spot wide-eyed for a moment before hugging her tightly and then steping back from her to see her brother and uncle still griping the older woman's hand tightly. "Th...Thank you." she whispers gratefully to the red-head.

Vych takes out a thin, red, monogrammed kerchief from her secret pocket in her dress and hands it to Sabrina as a friendly smile comes to her lips.
”I always carry one just incase, and red hides our tears best…it’s also my favorite color. You may keep it if you’d like.”

Sabrina blushes at the compliment and gives Vych a small brave smile. "Miss Vychtorya whats a... whats a coterie?" she asks, not understanding the french word.

Vych tries to think of a simple, but somewhat lighthearted definition of the word. No need to explain there could be many types of coteries – some nicer than others.
”Coterie….hmmm….well Miss Sabrina, it is like a small group of friends that have a common interest.”

"And your dancing was beautiful, Ms. Farychyld. I hope you and Mr. Freigart enjoyed it as much as everyone enjoyed watching it."

Vych takes the hand offered by Caitlyn and says,
“Thank you, but with such lovely music, I could not help but wish to dance to it. I am glad your friend Maxx accepted my invitation. I had a wonderful time with him.”

"...and please call me Vych if you'd like,"
Vych says with a relaxed and very friendly smile.

Carrick's head tilted and his expression was welcoming, a warm smile that rose to his eyes gave a feeling of ease, "Charmed to make your aquaintance. Is Caitlyn acceptable? I do prefer first names, as a rule." He turned his head to take in Vychtorya, "My partner says your band would be an excellent feature at Antiquities... I confess my interest is more financial, and I only rarely appreciate art," he rolled his eyes once "but my instincts tell me we could help each other. Perhaps you could come by the club, as a guest, one night. Nathaniel, Mr Montague I appologise, could arrange a convenient time after one of your lessons, no? Perhaps even a lift and some company?"

”I would love to have you all come by,”
Vych says happily.

Vych tries to think of a simple, but somewhat lighthearted definition of the word. No need to explain there could be many types of coteries – some nicer than others.
”Coterie….hmmm….well Miss Sabrina, it is like a small group of friends that have a common interest.”

"Its just Sabrina." The little girl says gigling at being called miss Sabrina'. She gives Vych's hand a friendly squeze. "So does that make you and me and miss Cate and my brother a Coterie?" she asks curiously letting the unfamiliar word bounce around in her head.

The child accepts the red kerchief, and uses it to wipe her her cheeks clean. At Vych's offering it to her she slips it into her teddy-bear back-pack. "Thnk you, its soo beautiful, just like you. Reds my favorite color too."

She gives Cait a big smile willing herself to be noticed by her and the two older vampires she was talking to. Sabrina was used to being the center of attention, and hated it when she wasn't it. She wanted everyone to pay attention to her, and unconsciously she was taking steps to see it happen (prescence).

Caitlyn's Theme for the Party

“Enchante, Mr. Ashton,” Caitlyn responded to Carrick’s warm smile with a gentle curve of her lips, relaxing a little in his presence. “Isn’t finance an art in and of itself?” the young singer responded with slight laugh. “Anyone who’s seen the way the stock market dances its merry tune certainly can’t disagree with such a statement.”

Her smile widened further at the invitation to his club. “I would love to come, but I confess that I haven’t really had a chance to discuss the particulars of my employment with Mr. Montague.” Dark eyes left Carrick’s visage to rest on the other man’s for a long moment before turning her head to wink conspiratorially at Jemal. “But it sounds like something I would enjoy quite a bit. Who am I to ever say no to an offer of music?”

While speaking, her slender hand stretched out to Sabrina as if to reassure the child that she had not been forgotten.

House Tremere

"Well," Aisling began, "it seems matters have arisen that will occupy at least my time for the foreseeable future. Eugenio's too. Perhaps you two" her attention was fixed on Nikolai and Gabriel "should learn to work together. You seem adept at dealing diplomatically and successfully with the other clans. Locate Qadir and nurture a relationship with him; you'll report direct to Eugenio on this matter. If he has aspirations on the praxis we shall need to know. If not, you should assess him for his political leanings." She looked each in the eye in turn, "I trust I make myself clear?"

Nikolai wrinkles in pain at the request:
"I work with other clans well, yes.... but not Sabbat.

I'll work with him if Eugenio asks me.
I'm a team player and all, but you're asking me to sully my reputation by working with him?
Other clansmen might think I'm a sympathizer.
Can you all assure me that this will not happen?

If so, than my duty is but to serve the Clan in all its interests, and I will do as you ask.
I will endeavor to divine our esteemed Sherriff's motives..."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Max looks to Morgan.

She's been so quiet, is she angry at me? I mean she's over me right? I'm pretty sure I'm over her. Why is she so quiet?

"Hey Morgan, you enjoy the evening? I found it alright, got to meet some people. Pretty good in all," he looks to her waits for her response expectantly.

Maybe if I get her talking she might say what she's upset about. If she's upset that is.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Gabriel listened as Nikolai made his comments. When the other vampire was finished, he looked at Aisling and then Eugenio. "It shall be as you say."

I can't believe she stuck me with him...

 

[reapersaurus]

Gabriel listened as Nikolai made his comments. When the other vampire was finished, he looked at Aisling and then Eugenio. "It shall be as you say."

Nikolai looks to Eugenio for his reply to Nik's first question, thinking to himself:
. o 0 it sure as hell "shall NOT be as you say", Gabriel, if Estevez doesn't make me.
Damned traitor, thinking he can walk around and masquerade as a Cammy.
It disgusts me that without the insight of Tremere powers, I might be victim to his wiles, like others here might be.
Scum like him should be Hunted, and done away with as soon as their presence is known -
Hey!
Maybe I could tip off a group of Hunters here in New York about him... I wonder who works this town...
ehh... I'll work with him a bit, and see how he acts - MAYBE his Mark is an unfortunate accident.... yeah, right.

House Tremere

Eugenio met Nikolai's gaze and held it steadily, "It would be for the good of the house. The business that Aisling and I will be involved in is likely beyond the capacities of neonates such as yourselves. Perhaps in a few decades you will have mastered the skills necessary... if the house thinks you have shown the requisite promise. Lord Wainwright may have alternative uses for you otherwise?"

The dwarf narrowed his already squinting eyes. "I think not." The majority of his venom seemed reserved for Gabriel, whom he kept glancing back towards.

"Then we are settled?" Sturbridge reasserting herself into the conversation. "We should keep discussions of more detailed affairs to more appropriate surroundings."

Max and Morgan

Morgan smiled back at Max, though the expression seemed hollow; a mere shadow of Elizabeth's presence. "You seemed to make a good impression on Elizabeth. Perhaps you're more alike than I'd thought." That curious, daydreamy expression flitted across her features again, "Maybe she'll be better for you than I ever was, Max." She seemed to focus herself again, "I'm glad you enjoyed things, though. It seems like I won't have to introduce you to the Prince after all. You might want to see about finding Calebros in the future though; I think you would have seem eye to eye on a few things. If he doesn't leave the city, at least."

Caitlyn, Carrick, The Montagues and Vychtorya

(OOC - Sabrina Awe diff 7 - 10,9,4,3 - 2 successes) Perhaps it was an appeal to their maternal instincts, however suppressed they might be, perhaps something else about the dependence that the child's demeanour promised, but Caitlyn and Vychtorya couldn't help but feel sympathy for her situation increase (however thay saw it...).

Carrick's eyebrow raised a little at Caitlyn's remark, "Hardly art to compare with such as we have heard tonight. Craftsmanship, perhaps, but never art and ugly business, too, in its own way." As he spoke, he brought his arm up to place Vychtorya's hand near his elbow entwined in a formal poise.

Nathaniel nodded at the mention of unfinished business. "Jemal; could you clarify the missing details with Ms Tran. And Sabrina, I would suppose." He glanced, once, at his neice.
