Welcome to Gaia! ::

If there was one Ravnos there that evening you could almost guarantee that more would appear.

Sweeping into the room, long black hair trailed behind Cryso like tendrils. Touching all that she passed. And some may even find their pockets just a little lighter than they remembered.

She stopped momentarily at the flickering of lights and shadows creeping in from the edges of the room and a knowing smirk came to her lips as pink eyes swept across the party patrons. But soon that too was forgotten as she made her way to a table. Producing a stack of tarot cards that she began to shuffle idly. It wasn’t long before people began to line up at her table to have their fortunes read.

For a price of course.

It was entirely by chance that Cassius had managed to arrive just moments behind his mother, whom he had not seen in...well, years. He did notice her, though, as he made his way through the entrance and properly into the party. If she should look his way, he'd offer her a nod, and a smirk, knowing full well that she was busy at work, swindling the guests.

He went to move towards the bar himself, where he could see just the disciple he had been wanting to speak with when something in the atmosphere of the room changed. Though it was only for a moment, it was enough to stop him in his tracks, a wicked glint in his eye.

"Hello, father." He murmured, knowing full well that the God would hear him.

Of course she noticed her son. How could she not? He was hers. Ah how she wouldn’t mind that little fling again. Such strong boys she produced. To say she was proud was an understatement.

There was someone sumcurrying behind him though. Pink eyes narrowed as she pulled a card from the tarot deck and.gasped loudly. “Oh I’m so sorry! It’s the death card. That’s bad bad business. Next.” The Fae she had been reading for nearly collapsed as she stood from the chair.

Their pockets lighter of course.

Cassius grinned and reached out to find Emppu and pull him closer to his side while leaning in to say in his ear. "There are Disciples here. The oldest and most powerful." His gaze slid over to where his mother was running her little scheme, and he chuckled.

"And some others. Antediluvians."

He glanced around then, back towards the bar, where he could see none other than Ravnos himself.

"Come on." He tugged on Emppu's sleeve. "I need a drink."

...and to maybe rub elbows with some of the elite crowd.

Ravnos had been engaged in a conversation with Marconius but he couldn’t help notice two younger male vampires approaching the bar out of the corner of his eye.

One looking oddly familiar. And he could have sworn he was looking at the God himself. Just with a bit more pink. Which he would never wear.

The other seemed rather clingy to the other so he supposed their were either really good friends or closer than that. But that wasn’t his business. He rarely made such young vampire’s business his own unless there was something to gain from it.

Always a catch.

Cassius didn't lack confidence or arrogance, but as he approached the bar, veering just a little off to the side so that he could be close, but not too close, to the Disciple of Caine, he found himself getting nervous.

Maybe just a drink first, to bolster his nerves.

"Nah, that's Ravnos. I've never met him before." He said it matter-of-factly, as though he wasn't talking about someone he had idolized for years.

And then, a thought occurred to him, "I think he might actually be a friend of my dad's."

That was it! He had an in!

"Do you want anything?" He asked as they made it to the bar ledge.

Dracian.... A voice whispered in Ravnos's head. Are you enjoying yourself?

His attention turned back to the Kiasyd Disciple who was still prattling on about manners. Well, he was only half listening. Ravnos took a long drink, peering at the black eyed Vampire with feigned interest when a voice popped in his head.

Speaking his true name.

He swirled his drink with half lidded eyes, watching the ice cubes swirl and clink against one another. ‘Always. Would be more fun with you here. Just to watch some of them s**t themselves.’

Ravnos would pay to see that.

- Fleur looks mansion. Was her mate finally home it had been years. She looks at Fae heading in. She felt under dressed but Kitrye would understand what she was doing here. She had fun with children but seeing the lights on She needed to come and see what was going on and if her mate was home. She missed him so.

Heading in She pales there were a lot of others here. She blinks and looks around for her tell beautiful mate. Not spotting him at first She looks around. Then heads for the bar keeping her eyes out for him-
