[Sodium_noir] Hell is other people

Ash & Alessandra Gaspare
Toreador & Old Clan Tzimisce
The Sinclair Mansion

"Just so my dear!" he whispered in return. "Take your
partners for the grande dance of the Ivory tower!"

With a stifle laugh he led her towards the stairs,
nodding to Christophe but not stopping to talk he
strode directly up to Montoya.

"Sire!" he said with confidence. "I'm glad the recent
troubles haven't managed to keep you away from such a
glorious event. Devlin my dear you look absolutely
stunning. Have you met the Lady Alessandra Gaspare?"

"Only briefly!" Montoya replied. "Nice to see you
again Ma'am."

Alessandra neither bowed her head nor curtseyed before
Gotham’s Prince.  Instead, she greeted him as she
would any gentleman of refinement.  Extending a hand
and offering a demure smile, the Tzimisce replied, “
How kind of you you to say so.  Good evening, Senor
Montoya.”  She hadn’t been in the city long enough to
trust how its Camarilla would receive her, despite her
initial affiliation with the Malkavian seneschal. 
Alessa kept her political leanings - if she possessed
any at all - well hidden.

She smiled at Devlin.  “Very nice to see you, Devlin. 
What a splendid gathering this is.”

Her hand pressed gently on Ash’s arm.  The Koldun
resisted the temptation to steal a glance at
Christophe and silently scolded herself for allowing
such weakness.  

“My darling, would you be kind enough to find a glass
of wine for me?”
