Her nerves were already on edge and did not take well to being approached in such a boorish manner. Dia Chela blinked very slowly and deliberately, staring at the rabid vampire, her arms held loosely across her chest. The shadows coiled protectively around her. “Nothing,” she answered finally, her head tilting slightly. “Nothing is wrong with me.” Nothing she would admit to anyway. Not to some stranger with terrible manners.

Cassius was sort of expecting something like this, but it was still better than being shown the door. He was being given a chance, at least, to prove himself. While he knew his chances of getting into the clan may have gone down, he didn't regret his decision. He knew he was never going to join if Emppu didn't get to join too. He wouldn't have left the other vampire out in the cold like that. "Not just a friend." Cassius corrected the Disciple, with the hint of a growl. "More than that." As Emppu grew closer he reached for his hand, entwining fingers with his. "I accept." He said. Simple as that. "Do I have a time limit?"

Emppu tilts his head slightly as Ravnos gives Cassius and himself a counter-offer, twining his fingers with Cassius' when the other grabs his hand. He sighs slightly, then carefully places his pouch of purloined goods into Cassius' other hand, a habit he'd taken to doing quite some time ago, not because Cassius demanded it or anything, but simply because he could. "Pardon me, love, but why are you asking if 'you' have a time limit? Should we not both participate in this task?" He glances back at the Disciple, tail flicking slightly. "No offense to you, Ravnos or to Cassius, but I wish to participate in some form in this task. Especially since it would benefit Cassius and his happiness." Emppu would do almost anything to ensure Cassius was happy, after all.

He was determined. Good. The young vampire would need to when facing Zapathasura. “No time limit. But don’t take forever I’m not as patient as I might seem.” Ravnos twisted a ring on his finger before removing it. “Show him this. It is the only way you might have a chance of at least talking to him.” He looked at Emppu. “Ah yes. A good suggestion. You too will participate.” The Disciple offered the ring to whichever of them might take it. It didn’t matter who.

Ah. From the faekat that approached, or whom she herself was approaching, Alessandra caught a certain familiar air. A genteel curve of her lips indicated her fellow vampire was welcome. "But of course, Marquise." Taking a corner of her skirt in one hand, she curtsied to the precise depth that was due a marquise... and if that was only part of the other's name, so be it. It would do no harm to be polite. "I am Alessandra de Conti, and your company is most welcome." Perhaps she was not quite so astute as the Marquise, but she did wonder if the female might also be a Ventrue.
Power seemed almost to crackle in the air around them, though not from either. For the most part, she had been ignoring it, mainly out of a desire to be polite. "Are you in the mood for conversation or did you have something else in mind?" she inquired, inclining her head to her companion. Since she had left her table, it seemed a little silly to return to it so soon. Marquese Baydras was a Cainite, which certainly made her stand out from the crowd, and Alessandra certainly did not mind the grandeur that status added.

The familiar exchange with Emppu happened smoothly, with Cassius accepting whatever treasures the other vampire pilfered, and moving them to one of his pockets. It could be a tough world out there for clanless vampires. They did what they could to get by comfortably. Eying the ring that Ravnos offered, Cassius reached for it, silently grateful that Emppu was offering his help, though he hadn't really considered doing it all without him, anyways. "Great." Cassius smiled, "We have a deal then." ---------- Grendel was back, for the moment. It seemed his curiosity had gotten the better of him and he wanted to see for himself how his son was making out. Ravnos might sense a weight settling in behind him, and a feeling like arms encircling him from behind, while a head rested on his shoulder. You've given him a difficult task. the words breathed through the Disciples mind.

From beneath a nearby table the sound of barking and growling rose above the dull hum of the party. The table shook. Stopped. Shook again. And then a splash of water came from beneath the table cloth. Splashing onto Amadeo’s fancy shoes. A loud, audible gasp. “Faucy! I told you to behave! You just peed on Mr. Rich Guy’s fancy shmancy shoes! GO APOLOGIZE!!” Another series of barks and growls, the table shook again before a pink haired Malkavisn crawled out from underneath. “That is not a nice thing to say he does not look like a shined up turd!” In her arms; attached to a red leash was a swan shaped….water faucet. Madeline waggled a finger at it before her gaze turned to Amadeo. A wide grin spreading across her grey lips as she lovingly stroked the water faucet. “Sorry! Faucy has a potty mouth.” She leaned forward, covering the faucet’s ‘ears’. “He also has bladder control issues but we’re working on that.” She said matter of factly with a nod.

“Good, I look forward to seeing if you complete this task or not.” His cup had been refilled and he reached for it, taking a long sip. “I would enjoy the party as much as you can. It might be a while before either of you have a chance to do something like this again.” When the presence settled on him again he had to resist the urge to touch the arms that wrapped around him. To lean his head just so. The words in his mind made him chuckle ever so slightly. ‘Do you not have confidence in your son? I have confidence in mine.’ Of course, he was confident that Zapathasura would give both the young vampires a run for their money. He was older. More experienced. ‘Are you done being a ghost yet?’ He inquired. While Grendel’s spirit like presence was comforting he’s rather have the more solid form.

-Fleur looks a little sad- " I sadly when I met my husband. My sister chose a different path and J'nesst was always a traveler. I haven't seen her in years but I hope one day I will see her again." - she smiles looking over towards were she finally spotted her mate. She smiles and waves at him looking at the brothers she smiles- " our host is heading this way towards us. He is one with mask covering half his face. He is a kind and friendly." - She was at him again-

Emppu nods in response to Ravnos' reply to him, then smiles and nods again at Cassius' response, watching the other take the offered ring. He examines it while Cassius is reaching for it, taking in as much detail on the ring as he could without touching it himself. "So, where shall we be heading, Cassius? And when do we leave?"

Amadeo had just received his libation when a disturbance shifted his attention from the delicate crystal chalice and it's delightful looking amber contents to the.. whatever happened to be lurking under the table. He was about to reply when he realized. Malkavian. There was no point in fighting against the onslaught of insanity that would no doubt come spewing from this vibrant lunatic should he try to gain any clarity from her.
"Signora." He began, his voice calm and even. Her insults seemed not to phase him. He'd been called worse. "There is no harm done." He shook his shoe off absently. "What can you do with an untrained animal? Patience is the best answer. He'll come around."
Something nagged at him. Where had he seen that faucet before? It looked.. uncomfortably familiar. Suddenly it all came back to him. The night of the Masquerade. The Malkavian Prank. So, THAT'S what became of the faucet in the upstairs guest bathroom. Her little puppy was solid gold. "Quite expensive taste you have in dog breed. Where on earth did you acquire such a... fine specimen?"

The faucet came flying at his face as another round of loud barks and growls filled the air. Madeline attempted to pull the faucet back and was struggling just a bit. Eventually she was able to shove it under one arm where it sat, growling under its breath. “We tryyyyyyt. But Faucy has a lot of trauma from his last home you see. He’s seen a lot of whites” she whispered the last part. Madeline beamed at the compliment though. “Oh! He was being extremely abused at his previous home so we rescued him. Now he’s the group mascot. We also found some really neat wallpaper too at the house so we took that and redecorated. Although Faucy likes to draw obscene things all over the walls. I don’t know who taught him how to do that.” Tilting her head, she held Faucy up so that Amadeo could get a better look at him. “He doesn’t have his single berries anymore, gotta be a responsible owner you see. So….like I said he’s seen some s**t.”

A snoring noise could be heard as the doors to the castle were opened, in walked a small pale woman whose sweater hung off her shoulder. On her other shoulder hung another fae who appeared to be sleeping. Ayia began by looking around nervously, trying not to catch anyones eye, before skittering to the closest couch she could find and plopping the other fae on it unceremoniously. She brushed the orange and yellow hair out of her master’s face before carefully setting a hat upon the fae’s head.The sleeping fae snorted and snored for a minute longer before her head flopped back on the couch. Her hat almost flew off her head as she snapped back up and opened her eyes wide. She looked around, very confused, then stared for a long moment at Ayia. ”Arana is kidnapped? No.. no that isn’t right. OH!” She looked around excitedly as many of the faces around her became familiar. ”A poppet party just for Arana! Or Arana for a poppet party?…Eh.. Where is Arana?”

Cassius nodded at Ravnos as well and turned to go, holding the ring up in the palm of his hand. He noticed Emppu looking at it, and held it towards him, in case he wanted to take it himself. He trusted the other vampire not to lose it. "How about tomorrow? Tonight, I just want to have some fun." What Ravnos said about enjoying the party as much as they could....well, why not? There was music, drinks, mortals, and the chance for a little mayhem. As for where they would be headed... "I think we're going to have to go and talk to my mom." He said though he wasn't sure if she was even still there.

Kitrye had finally made his way over to where his beloved was. Wrapping a protective arm around her waist he eyed the two male vampires situations she was conversing with. “What is so urgent my love?” It hadn’t been that long since he had left her and obviously the two were the reason she called him back over. What was it? More politics? He supposed that with such a grand party there was bound to be those that would show up looking for boobs. “Can I help you gentleman?”
