Re: Board Meeting (Star)

[Malakiel]

David corresponds her bow as Rebecca left the balcony and remain on it to watch the action from above. Then Rebecca went into the Main Hall, prepared for battle and hessitated when she discovered the Victorian crew's position at back of it, standing in a circle while commenting their thoughts behind their hand fans with keen eyes.

The steam punk bitch was the first to show interest in Rebecca's approach but didn't seem to announce it to the other vamptress of the group. She was fascinated reading Rebecca's non verbal language as she approached.

" .... Forgive my intrusion once again My Lady Lucinde, Justicar of Clan Ventrue and her esteemed Alastors.

All ladies stopped their conversations and looked to Rebecca in silence without answering to her initial bow or respectful approach yet.

I would like to request to speak with Baroness Meredith Krauss a moment and offer my sincerest apologies for my earlier Behavior, and thank her for the lesson she bestowed upon me My Lady.

Lady Krauss looked baffed by Star's words and resolve. She removed her hand fan from her chin and looked at Lucinde who barely answered with a blink of her teenager blue eyes.

Then Meredith said.
"Of course Eiren, let's chat.

Lead the way to the social room, there we shall find a private place to have this conversation."

As Rebecca lead the way Krauss followed. Once in the social room which was still crowded Rebecca figured to go upstairs to one of the more private balconies. Krauss again followed with a normal pace that showed no anticipation.

Garrison opened another balcony's door which was of course alone and dark. The light switch revealed a clean and well preserved luxurious living room without windows, except for the closed door to the outter balcony. There Meredith said.
"Very well Eiren. This is private enough, speak your mind."

[Star]

As Star lead the way she kept her mind clear, and focused on her resolve. She refused to let her inner thoughts get  muddled down with anxiety or the "what-if's" would happen I'd she striped over her words or made a fool of herself yet again.

Once in the secluded balcony area, she turned and bowed respectfuly again to Meredith.

" ...
Baroness Krauss, Alastor to Lady Lucinde,  I have brought you aside to offer my sincerest apologies for my previous Behavior.
I am not however asking for your forgiveness, I beleive such a thing for you to grant me is beneath you and I'm not deserving of it..  Instead I simply wish to thank you for the lesson you you have bestowed upon me.

Indeed you were correct in every statments
"Without manners kindred are nothing but Beasts." Through my own behaviors I have proven your words to be true. You have reminded me of the importance of these Laws of Decorum and how members of the Clan should conduct themselves in Kindred Society. Especially when Clan Ventrue stands as the  pillar clan of the Camarilla. There are certain behaviors that is expected from the clan's members and I have showed none of this in my behavior this evening.
If you had not made such a example of my folly I might have still continued to sully my Clan's image with my own rude behavior.

 I had no right to say such harsh and rude things to you, and I am very sorry.
I was disrespectful to you and far out of line.

i do however wish to thank you for the correction. You have given me a lot to consider and have proven to me that I still have along way to go before I can be proper example of a Ventrue and  engage in social events.

Honestly I should probably avoid them as much as possible.
I sware though i will take steps to correct myself, and avoided such displays in the future.

[Malakiel]

Lady Krauss listened carefully to every word, every change in tone or pace, reading Rebecca's every intention as she was an open book. The scrutinizing gaze of the Elder was indeed penetrating Star, making her feel expoused, naked in front of her.

She kept silence until Rebecca finished her whole apology and then she said.
"I'm truly impressed by your Sire Eiren. I take back everything I've said to ofend him and regreat every thought that might have understimate his judgement."

She made a short pause before continuing.
"It is amazing how much this display from you previous performance... I won't make the same mistake twice, understimating your part in this change of heart would be as bad but I understand now that your Sire is truly a great kindred a truly a King.

I look forward to meet him. Please send him my sincerest apologies and my respect."

Another pause, this time a little longer, as she stared into Rebecca's eyes. It was then she Star realized that Lady Krauss' eyes were not just light blue but somehow got a pink or may be violet shade inside. Then with an equally mesmerizing tone of voice she continued.
With such capacitiy for attunment I can only agree with your Sire's decision to release you from your Agoge. He's truly wise.

"Miss Rebecca Garrison, consider your Dignitas restored. Your sincerely apology is fully accepted."

[Star]

I'm truly impressed by your Sire Eiren. I take back everything I've said to ofend him and regreat every thought that might have understimate his judgement."

In reality this is what Star wanted to hear, she was not truly seeking any for herself, she knew she was kinda a fuck up. But David did not deserve to get dragged down with her.

Still Star seemed very surprised by lady Krauss' comments about her sire.

// but I understand now that your Sire is truly a great kindred a truly a King.
I look forward to meet him. Please send him my sincerest apologies and my respect.

Star gave Lady Krauss a respectful nod.
▂▂▂▂▂▂ STAR ▂▂▂▂▂▂
" ... Of course my Lady .. I would be honored to.."
Star said once again bowing.

With such capacitiy for attunment I can only agree with your Sire's decision to release you from your Agoge. He's truly wise.

"Miss Rebecca Garrison, consider your Dignitas restored. Your sincerely apology is fully accepted

▂▂▂▂▂▂ STAR ▂▂▂▂▂▂
" ... Thank you Baroness Krauss, I am truly greatful for this.

Sir Count Hayworth is a remarkable Kindred, and I often feel I am not deserving of him as a Sire. Why he has chosen someone like myself to be his child, I might never truly grasp, for I am unworthy of such a honor.
But I trust  whole heartedly in his decisions, and I will do all with in my power to try never to disappoint him.  Tonight i failed in this, and i am greatful for the reminder you gave granted me. I sware that I will make all attempts to make sure that such behavior I displayed is not displayed by myself again.
For the honor of My Sire, and My Clan And myself. This I sware.  
Star said with confidence and determination to never make the same mistakes again.

She bowed her head again in respect to the Baroness.
" ...thank you again for your time my Lady, and speaking with me again."

Star was trying to be as formal as she could, she didn't have the etiquette of Ages past, and was never formally trained in such, but she attempted the best she could by mimicking what she already saw and others Behavior.

[Malakiel]

" ...thank you again for your time my Lady, and speaking with me again."

The Baroness smiled and noded in agreement. Then she said.
"It's been my pleasure to meet this other part of you...

... but Eiren I would like to give you a fair warning. Not all kindreds, not even Ventrue are as forgiving or understandful as I or my Lady were. To be honest I felt tempted to attack you but my Lady's advices on the subject held my calm together, her wisdom has always been a beacon in this world of darkness for me.

Even so, I proud myself of showing no indulgence to recidivist, to give no second opportunities. This will be my last lesson for you on this topic. Let's both hope there's not next time for this issue between you and me."

Her tone slowly changed from the sincere but yet kind tone to the still sincere but now cold and merciless tone.

She changed her mood back to the formal and polite demeanor to say.
"I think this conversation is satisfyingly concluded. Please lead me back to the Main Hall."

[Star]

Star listened intently and gave the Baroness her full attention, taking heed of her warning.
Tonigh's incident would no doubt make a lasting impression on the young kindred.

She thanked Lady Krauss once more formally, then politely escorted the baroness back to the main Meeting Hall.

Once there she bid Lady Krauss farewell and thanked her again for her time before seeking out David to report back and relay Lady Krauss' message as promised.
