Aries nods, accepting the hand that was offered. "A quick sweep would help calm me down, at least." She murmurs, hating the fact that yes, she was afraid that Tzimisce would be there and would destroy the small clan she and the others had barely been managing to hold together in his absence.
~*~
Darren murmurs, burying his face against his mate's neck again, allowing the other to help him relax. "Valin is the smarter one out of the two, in all honesty... I'm sure he could come up with something that would keep whoever it is from hurting himself or his sister, if he chose to."
~*~
Sophitia raises a brow at that. "I don't hate you or our parents per say... More like our aunt, the other neonates, and the two that control the strings of this place." She snorts, tail twitching yet again. "At least I am trying to behave like a good little dog and do as I'm told. Even if I don't like it. Father forbid me from living in the basement, after all, where I would FEEL most comfortable, and instead, here I am in this... room... not feeling the least bit comfortable at all about it." She sighs, carefully closing the book and holding it close to her as she draws her knees up, resting her chin on them. "I'm sick of trying to guess how I'm supposed to be acting. Yes, I care for father, but.. Well... He isn't Tzimisce, no matter how you look at him. He used to be mortal. I was raised as a mortal would raise their child. I'm not blaming him, he just didn't have... help... with me, is all I'm saying." She said, standing up and heading towards the door, book still clutched close. "I'm going to explore now. All this talk bores me." She said simply, opening the door and heading towards the stairs that led up towards the rooms above the first floor.

Silaqui returned the gesture with a curtsey, of course she knew better than to disrespect an elder.
Upon hearing his name the neonate's mouth dropped. She had met the one she should've been bowing to and had no idea. What more could she do to insult him!? "T-T-Tzimisce?" Sil stuttered, pulling her face together to look at him. He deserved the greatest respect she could give, but her body was still in shock at meeting him. Oh god what was she supposed to do?!

He squeezed her paw reassuringly, moving to lead her out of their rooms to sweep each floor for the signs of any entry swiftly. The sooner they got this done, the sooner they could ease their worries.
---
He barely held his tongue. If they stay together. He had almost said such a thing, but he couldn't bring himself to put that worry into his mate's head when he was obviously distressed enough.
He continued to soothingly stroke his hair, wishing he had kept Sophitia nearer to them.
---
" Travel carefully... There is a strange presence tonight... In the case of meeting a stranger.. Some time it is best to hold your tongue, sister... " He warned after her, before moving to return to his patrol.
---
A dark laugh escaped him at her obvious shock. " Indeed, that is my name. Ah, nice to hear it from another's lips once more. "
Normally, he would have indeed been insulted b the meager amount of respect. However, the Childe had not known him before his name was spoken. He could not fault the neonate's lack of recognition. Besides, it was quite amusing to him. Centuries of sleep with nothing to torture! He had to make up for it.

Aries' crimson eyes scanned each floor as they walked, locking only momentarily on Katarina's door before continuing the sweep for the presence she had briefly sensed. Now was not the time to be worrying about that particular problem. That one would either sort itself out or be dealt with shortly.
~*~
Darren chews on his own lower lip in thought, worrying it until a small drop of blood beaded on it's surface. He was worried about his children, and though he may be a little bit calmer, that didnt' mean he would stop worrying.
~*~
Sophitia glances at her brother over her shoulder. "I've learned alot since my run-in with our dear... cousin... from the hell-b***h's side of the family. If it's someone I've never met, I'll be courteous, never you mind, brother. And if a furball had managed to track us down, he'll get a bit of a fireball lighting up his life." She says, giving a small, lop-sided grin as she prowls up the stairs.

"I'm sorry." Once more she bowed, keeping her eyes on the floor as she did so. "I would've shown more respect had I known. My books didn't show pictures of you so I didn't know." The words poured from her mouth quickly, unable to apologize enough.
"Is there anything I can get or do for you?" The neonate was still bent over in a bow, looking up at him.

Tzimisce looked over her a moment thoughtfully, letting his senses reach out. Ah, already they were looking for him. " No matter. Come, little Childe. This room is hardly big enough to fit the whole clan. "
He turned easily away from her, stalking from the room, and expecting her to follow without him having to make sure she was. He went easily back down to the first floor without running into any of their clan, letting loose his hold on his presence as he entered the lounge. With that, they would know exactly where to find him. Even the younger of their clan, with no idea as to who he was, would be drawn to seek out the terrifying force they felt.
He easily slid into a large leather chair, motioning he neonate to sit and make herself comfortable while they waited.
---
Golden eyes went wide as the aura washed over the entire building with such force and sudden-ness that it left him nearly shaking. Miyavi took a deep breath, sparing a glance to Aries before he set off quickly down to the lounge.
---
Lidos jerked up suddenly, eyes wide. He would have sent his love flying across the room from such an action had he not had such a good hold of the other.
Worriedly, he looked down to Darren, before rising swiftly and carrying him from the room to seek out the source of that power. He couldn't bring himself to let him go yet, so any complaint the kat had about being carried was easily ignored.

Aries swiftly followed Miyavi down in the direction of the lounge, knowing that to not answer such a swift releasing of power would most likely get them killed. She and Miyavi nearly ran over Sophitia in their race down the stairs, Aries stopping only half a second before seeing the girl get easily back up to her feet before continuing the pace downstairs. Once Aries reaches the lounge, the moment she spotted Tzimisce, she drops immediately into as low a curtsy as she could go, eyes locked on the floor near his feet. She knew exactly how much respect to show to her creator, and was trying to show that respect now, as well as set an example for those following behind her on what they should do when they entered the room.
Sophitia's eyes had widened to about the size of saucers at the sudden release of power. Nobody that she had met within the clan so far had held such power! It made her skin crawl, as if it would jump right off her body and run down the stairs without her. Following the urge of her skin, she followed the Ante and Meth down the stairs, however, she didn't enter the room fully as the others did, but rather stayed near the door, peering at Tzimisce with fear and awe. Feeling this massive presence, she regretted everything she'd ever thought about the clan, wishing she'd stuck around as her brother had rather than going off and testing her powers out on her own.
Darren's eyes had also widened at the surge of power, but rather than protest to his mate racing out the door while carrying him, he clung to his mate, really not wanting to meet the owner of such vast power. It frightened him, especially considering what he and his mate had been talking about earlier.

Nervously Silaqui followed him, keeping her footsteps quiet and quick so as not to loose him. The quiet had come from a habit, though none seemed to have issues with the lack of footsteps being heard.
Upon seeing his gesture Silaqui took a seat a bit away from him. No doubt the elders would wish to be closer than she would sit. Still nervous, the neonate looked at him, feet stretching out in front of her. "T-That force is you isn't it?"

Tzimisce gave a light nod, sparing a smirk to the neonate, before turning his attention to the doors, just as, apparently, the entire clan showed up, nearly all at one. Slowly his eyes roamed over each member, silently judging them.
Though, whatever thoughts he had of each one, he kept them to himself, his face a blank mask. " Fewer than I had thought. " He said simply, finally settling his gaze on Aries, and her Childe Miyavi. " And such bad manners. It took you all this long to come greet me? "
He asked, shifting back to examine his claws. He ignored the fact that he had purposely hid himself from them. After all, he did so love to watch other's squirm!
" All of you are my Childer. And members of this clan. By blood, at the least, even if it is not by loyalty. " He said, eyes shifting to both Sophitia, as well as Katarina, for he feel their wavering thoughts of the clan.
" As such, you may feel at ease with me. For now. I will do no harm to you without just reason. " He smirked slightly again, motioning them to stand. " And as much as I do enjoy other groveling at my feet, it makes it rather had to hold a conversation, which we are in need of. Come, stand and make yourselves comfortable. "
He swept a paw across the many available seats, waiting for everyone to enter the room.
---
Miyavi slowly rose to his feet from where he had knelt with Aries, helping her up gracefully as well as he allowed himself to really take in the sight of the elder vampire whom he had not seen in centuries.
It was certainly a relief that he seemed very composed and well out of the frenzy he would have been in after waking.
---
Lidos took a deep breath at the words, entering the longue with his mate to easily slide onto a couch near Tzimisce, though still leaving the closest seats available for Aries and Miyavi.
---
A paw settled onto Sophitia's shoulder, and gently Valin pushed her into the room with himself, moving for a set of chairs by the doors, knowing that his sister may be unwilling to enter the room.

Aries, after standing up with the help of Miyavi, walks slowly over to the seats, her eyes flicking over the rest of the clan before she took a seat near, but not too near, the Ancient, not for fear of getting blood on herself, but because she didn't want to seem presumptuous that she was still in his favor. She hadn't done that will with the clan, after all, and she knew that.
~*~
Darren's eyes widen very slightly as Lidos sits close to Tzimisce, then shakes his head the slightest bit, scooting out of his mate's arms to sit beside Lidos, rather than on him.
~*~
Sophitia's eyes flash angrily at her brother as she steps to the side, hissing low at him. "I'm quite capable of walking on my own two legs, brother." She continues the rest of the way into the room, unaided by her brother, and takes a seat she thinks would be considered far enough away to show how low in the chain she was, but not too far that it would be considered an insult to the much older vampire.

Lilith was muttering to herself as she slipped through the shadows of the metropolis. She slowly made her way to the front doors of the towering hotel building- this was the one, she could feel them inside.
But it wasn't just them she felt. Nono, there was something MUCH stronger within those building walls.
Tzimisce.
Chills ran down her spine and her fur stood on end for a moment. With that, she pushed open the heavy doors and took a few steps inside.
She was miserable and would be spending her time in her new home alone- without Richard, who she hadn't seen in quite some time, and without her children who had no interest (at least that she knew of) in the clan.
She made her way into the lounge where the rest of the clan was gathered and made a quick, low sweep to the ground in a low bow. As quickly as she'd slipped into the room and bowed, she rose and took a seat next to Miyavi and Aries, in complete silence.

Moving slowly katarina rises her head and gos to stand, and find her own chair moving more towards the doors and taking her seat slowly keeping her eyes on Tzimisce, she didn't know how to feel about what he said, he could read her thoughts beening as old as he was and she always felt a little unwelcomed here, since her master was unknowen and turned her then beening killed, she blinks as she sees Lilith enter the lounge and sitting down without a word, closing her eyes she sinces the feelings of Lilith.

Somna really had no idea what was going on, or what in the world he was feeling, but seeing the others moving as more or less a body in the same direction, he got the general idea in a hurry. Dumping the box of tools and parts he had been carrying in his room, he followed the rest into the large room, looking around uncertainly before picking out a seat somewhere towards the center of the group.
He scanned his eyes around, looking for familiar faces, but the only person he recognized was his mate-to-be, Silaqui, standing near the front. He smiled, slightly nervously, and nodded in her direction, then sat down to await events.
