"Of course!"
It didn't take long for the pair to arrive at the manor home. It was brightly lit and, from the outside, looked warm and comfortable. Belle had actually stopped meowing about halfway there, her attention focused once more on the kitten in her jacket pocket. She was actually being quiet, for once, and even had the proper posture.
The guards standing outside the manor stared at the pair as they walked up, a brow slowly rising over one eye. "Can we help you?"

Angel was relieved to see Belle in a good mood and, for the most part, behaving. This place looked really nice and sadly reminded him of home... But he kept those sentiments to himself for now.
Once he reached the guard he was asked what he was doing here. Angel bowed slightly before speaking.
"My name is Angel, my cousin and I just got here last night and we are seeking an audience with the Prince so that we may ask her permission to reside in her territory."
He would say as politely as possible. He didn't want to come off as an ass just respectful.

The very human guard that had spoken to him offered a smirk. They parted to allow the two entry, but obviously glanced around. The manor was on a busy street and there were people wandering about.
Luckily, no one seemed to notice.
Up the sidewalk and to the door, where another retainer welcomed them and invited both inside. It wasn't until the door closed that he spoke. "Prince Amy O'Connor is currently in her study. Her husband, Octavian, Harpy, Cho, and Malkavian Primogen, Finndero, are all sitting at the bar. Please, come in and make yourself comfortable."

Angel would nod his appreciation and make his way to the bar. Once there he would wave... A bit awkwardly.
"Uhm, hello."
He would say nervously. The Prince wasn't here yet... So he just had to wait with 3 other rather powerful members of the court while waiting for the Prince. Oh... Yay.

Octavian turned up from his friendly conversation and smiled. As usual, there was warmth and welcome in his brown eyes, offered freely to the pair.
"Good evening and welcome to my home."
He nodded twice, once to Angel, and once toward Belle.
"I'm Octavian, this here is Cho, our resident Harpy." He motioned toward Cho, who was mixing up another drink for him.
"And this is Finn, Malkavian Primogen." He motioned again, this time towards the towering form of Finn.

Finn offered the tiniest of nods, placing his low ball glass upon the counter, once more empty. Without looking up, he watched as Cho poured him his drink, taking it back immediately and beginning to chug the amber liquid.
"Pleasure," the Harpy cooed with a far too old bow to the newcomers. She gave them both a kind smile and returned to her duties. Totally not listening. TOTALLY.
Belle bounded silently at her cousin's side, entirely focused on the kitten she carried. He seemed uncertain, snuggling deeper into her little pocket. As he had told her to, she waited for Angel to make the introductions.
Assuming he'd forget her kitten, she piped up. "And this is EDWARDO MEOW!" Of course she butchered her family name. She always did. Luckily, he WAS a cat.

Angel nodded to each at their introductions and bowed back to Cho. Just as he was getting ready to give him and his Cousin an introduction, she cut him off to introduce the cat... Sigh.
"Yes... And my name is Angel and this is my Cousin Belle."
He felt like an idiot completely butchered the fact he should have introduced himself first. But the damage was done.
"So how is everyone's evening going?"
He would ask politely. Hopefully ridding away the awkwardness...

Octavian gave Angel an empathetic smile. His eyes alight with joy as their introduction's were made.
"It's very nice to meet you Angel."
He paused only for an instant, almost imperceptibly as he took Belle and Edwardo in. They were a bit strange, but who had he met yet that wasn't.
"And you pair of kittens as well."
He spoke to both Belle and Edwardo, walking over and kneeling down in front of them.
"Would you care for some milk?"
He asked with a gentle smile. Hopefully, he'd managed to assure the nervous looking kindred at least a bit.

Belle's eyes widened slowly, her jaw going slack as she looked at Octavian. She assumed he was the Prince's husband, which meant that he had some sort if power. But that didn't matter.
She let out a piercing, high pitched squeal, and then dove towards the man. Edwardo was suddenly in her arms and both kittens began to nuzzle and mew excitedly.
"Mrow!! Meow, mew! REALLY? Angel, Angel, I can has? Can we HAS???"

Well... This was not what he was expecting but he was beginning to relax now. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all... Smiling he nodded to Belle.
"Yes you and Edwardo may get some milk if you would like, hun."
Turning to Octavian he would dip his head.
"Thank you for your generosity. You have just made her night."
He would say with a laugh.

Octavian laughed, it reminded most everyone in the house of summertime. His brown eyes coming to rest on Angel as he lifted Bella and Edwardo into his arms.
"Come, enjoy a drink with us." He offered moving towards the bar.
"Milk for the kittens please Cho?" He asked, offering the Harpy a kind smile.
"Finn, these kittens are from clan meow." The warmth and kindness absolutely radiated out toward the Malkavian.

It took Cho a few moments of blinking to realize that he had, in fact, asked for milk. She leaned her head closer to him with a furrow of her brows and a look of confusion. Then, turning, she went to the fridge to get the request. "Odd..."
Finn, however, just snorted a laugh as Belle and her kitten nuzzled against Octavian. Her tail and ears were still hidden.

Angel would accept the offer and walk over to the the bar. He would take the seat next to Octavian and look to Cho.
"Uhm... House special? Please."
Then he would turn to Octavian while he waited for his drink.
"So... What's the Prince like?"

Octavian continued the pet the pair of kittens, offering Angel another sympathetic smile.
"Amy should be here shortly." He offered the Tremere.
Taking a moment, he stopped petting the kittens only long enough to take a sip of his drink.

"NO!" Belle pushed her head against Octavian as he stopped petting her, whining. She didn't often get attention as a kitten, and it was nice to be treated as she identified. Purring, she rubbed her face against his chest, content once more.
Her outburst startled Finn and Cho, but only the Toreador showed it. She almost dropped the milk she had acquisitioned for the kittens. Slowly, carefully, she placed the two shallow dishes on the counter.
