The Gathering

She looks at each one of them carefully, eyeing them up and down. When she gets to Isaac, she stands, "I thank you for your honesty Master Isaac. What you mean to say is that Miss Gwynne was incapable of completing this uncomplicated task on her own and therefore is of no use to me in this court?" She does not wait for him to respond, "Miss Gwynne, you are dismissed, please take your seat. Isaac has kindly volunteered to receive your punishment or garner your reward."

The Prince paces before the kindred and then retakes her seat on her throne, "There appears to be only one kindred missing," she looks back down at the list in her hand, "A Master Elias Delcamp." She looks back up at them, "What have each of you done to ensure that the kindred of my city were made aware of their required attendance this evening?"

Enki keeps his stance and speaks in an emotionless tone. " As you instructed Prince I took every necessary step in contacting the various members of your court. In addition to contacting members directly I had my ghouls tasked with searching for any outliers that we were unaware of or had been absent for a long period of time. Given Delcamps unique abilities at both stealth and his clan's tendency to receive warnings the most likely conclusion is that he does not want to be found and is attempting to evade your grace for some unknown reason. I was not able to find any concrete proof but it is possible that he has fled the city entirely or some form of foul creature has him. If you wish, I will continue the hunt for him and bring him to you, I do ask though are we permitted to do what is necessary to bring him to justice?

Enkis voice takes on a somber tone.
"Also should he resist what you wish for us todo.?"

***Finn waits for the others to finish talking before speaking up***

Our Grace, we all worked very hard to make sure that all the kindred were made aware. I have offered gifts to some as a measure to secure their attendance, however your Grace, I feel that the Kindred of this city would have come without the bribery. We have a great deal of respect for you as can be seen by the ones that have arrived. I would have to agree that if Delcamps did not arrive, it is because he did not want to.

The Prince raises her hand for silence. Her stern eyes begin to smile, "Wonderful wonderful. You have done well. Each of you, Enki, Ilza, Finn and Isaac, a minor boon has been issued to you, from me, for your efforts." She looks at Torston, "Please make note of that."

She taps her finger to her lips, "Anyone that brings Delcamp to me, incapacitaed or not, shall be further rewarded. If he is not brought forth within the full lunar cycle, he will be found in breach of the court and blood hunted."

Her demeanor instantly changes the air in the room as she leans back in her seat and relaxes, "This brings me to tonight's final point of business. The current Master of the Harpies has been given a great opportunity in the city of Rome. Within the season there will need to be a new Master of the Harpies. If you would like to be considered for this position or would like to nominate someone for this position, please speak to Torston for further details."

Auzilie stands and waves her hand in the air. The room fills with music and a dozen humans are ushered into the room, "Please, help yourself. Eat, Drink, enjoy the night." She puts out her hand and Torston rushes to her side and takes it in his as he helps her down from her throne

*Henry makes his way over to the Keeper*

"I believe I would also like to be considered for the position please."

Auzilie places a hand on Isaac’s shoulder, "I have found you to be honest, opportunistic and loyal to the court. I would only wish that all my fellow kindred were as transparent. Caitiff or not, you have proven to be useful and I look forward to watching you grow within this court.

She then looks at Abdul, "Of course. Please allow me a few moments to unwind and Torston will bring you to the study when I am ready."

The Keeper smiles as the Prince leaves and turns back to the group "So I have it correct thus far we have Duccio of Clan Lasombra and Henry of Clan Malkavian as candidates for the New Master of Harpies. If anyone else would like to have their name in the running please let me know as soon as possible so we can start the voting."

***Finn glances at those around her***

Well that could have gone much worse.
