Tristan inclined his head politely, recognizing the
compliment she had bestowed upon him and appreciating
it as such.  He was suprised that the Nosferatu
Primogen had already spoken to the Prince regarding
his arrival, but he showed nothing of this in his
mask; it simply caught his attention that she would
speak to him, so quickly.  Perhaps a sign that the
Nosferatu of Gotham had the Prince's ear, though he
would not be so secure in these things yet- for all he
knew, there had been some council between the two and
she'd mentioned it in passing.  

Finally retaking his seat, his eyes fastened on the
ghostly pale skin of the fellow Nosferatu for several
moments as he considered her questions.  Once more,
his eyes sought out some hint of a face in behind
those veils, the lack of face disturbing him somewhat.
 "I have no real ties to Gotham," he finally admitted.
 "I have aquaintences here, but no real close and
personal ties; my main reason for coming is simply to
learn more about my family."  Tristan's lips spasmed
into a hint of a smile, "I do not suppose that you
would believe me, were I to say that I'd come for a
bit of sightseeing."  The smile grew slightly,
manipulated to show her that he was attempting to be
humourous or...something.
