The tall fallen stays by the door to play century and prevent party crashers from entry. His glassy eyes are blank as his stare. He stands unmoving, watching Regent converse with the Ambassador. His thoughts are full of curiosity to the purpose of this party and he is certain it is more than it appears to be on the surface... something he has learned from his observations is that Regent's political events usually are packed with maneuvering, hidden agendas and intrigue.

Thane nods to Cerest as he turns to exit the kitchen. "I shall let his Chancellorship know right away of your progress." He then proceeds out the door and directly to Regent. He stands at attention beside the Chancellor and the Ambassador not to interrupt but so close that they can't easily ignore him either so he may interject the report.
"Begging your pardon my lady... M'Lord, Message from the chief, 5 minutes till the final preparations are complete and the presentation is ready to commence... right on schedule Chancellor." Thane says with a bow.

Regent looks pleased from the news Thane brings.
"Splendid... Thank you Commander. Ambassador Le'Noir, I would be delighted for you to accompany me into the cottage? I would enjoy offering your Ambassadorship a fine beverage as I too wish to partake in a delightful blood wine to make my toast to our New Lady Ciel and her lovely home. Shall we?"
He extends his arm for her to take as a lady and he bows slightly to her acting the full part a gentleman.

Valentine smiles and inclines slightly at Regent's invitation, covering her wince at his slip perfectly.
"Certainly, High Chancellor, I would be honored to." She lays her fingertips on his arm, her touch so light and delicate it cannot be ignored.
"I would, " She continues in the either vein. "Do no less than undertake her education myself as befits a lady of her rank. Perhaps you will deign to attend a few of Lady Trakand's lessons with me. Even you, Your Terrible Grace might learn something new."

She tries to smile as they go farther into the cottage. It's been decorated a little, but Ciel can tell Regent's style and her own are a bit different. Whereas he is very grandiose and showy, her own taste is for the subtle and lovely...she knew she'd have to move some things around and change some things, but for now, it would do.
She saw Cerist talking to Thane and she raised her hand in greeting to the pretty demon. She was still somewhat nervous but she figured, with everyone here, there couldn't be much to do. So she gave Lysandor a sideways glance, smiling a little as he kissed her hand. "Thanks. You're such a love...I think I might try to relax now...I don't have to start learning anything until later and this big old party's just for me, so I guess I could try and have some fun...right?"

"Just think of tonight as a rather more complex dance," he suggests softly, his posture regaining some of its Elite stiffness as he renews his vigilence. "You have been a part of this court for some time, now, and few here are new faces to you. All that has changed, Lady Ciel, is that now you are their equals rather than their inferior."

Regent enters the cottage and he smiles at everyone. He makes his way to the table in the dining room that has been decorated with fancy glass bottles of varied fine beverages and alcohols. He takes two glasses and pours out a conservative portion of the red liquid into each.
He then turns to hand one glass to Valentine holding up by the stem for her to sniff the vintage should she desire to.

Nyxereos stands before the entryway as sentential to the gala. His black armor makes him forbidding as he blocks the entryway. Like a winged tank he watches in silence.

She whispered. "I have never thought that I would be afraid of any type of dancing...but I must admit, this dance is one that terrifies me."
At his last statement, she thought for a little bit and tilted her head to him. "I am very sure that some of the would rather I stay their inferior. And at this moment, I am beginning to wish that I had stayed inferior."

Valentine leans over the offered glass and her nostrils flare slightly. She takes the glass from Regent and sips it, rolling it on her tongue. Her eyes narrow in pleasure for a moment as she enjoys the drink and then she smiles at him and inclines her head.
"An excellent choice, High Chancellor."

With a straining look to Nyxereos thane re enters the flat behind Regent and Valentine. He nods to Lysandor and makes his way to the kitchen once again. He steps into the doorway to see if the cake is finished.
"Everyone is ready though we are missing a few guests. We simply must get this party on schedule and they will have to miss out on the opening ceremony."
Thane says with a stern look in his red eyes to Cerest.

Ciel tried to keep her head while she told Lysandor what she told him...
She was telling the whole truth. Sometimes she wished that nothing had changed...
But it had.

Regent spies Ciel sitting in the main room. He takes another glass and fills it up for Ciel. He looks to Valentine and smiles a coxing grin to proceed into the living room with all present.
His steps are light as he approaches Ciel with the wine. "Lady Ciel, for you my deer." He says with a smile warm and bright to his strikingly beautiful Devil Cat pupil.
"I have a great surprise in store for you very shortly." He says as he looks to Thane in the kitchen to begin the party.

She smiled lightly, accepting the glass and keeping a hand on Lysandor's arm.
"Thank you Chancellor..."

Thane is talking in the kitchen and after a short bit he wheels out a large cake into the dining room. This cake is very large and it has congratulations to Ciel written in several languages and a big one in written in English across the cart.
"We are ready Chancellor. Whenever you are." The hound says as he backs away from the big cart.

The Ambassador follows the rest of the crowd into the living room, standing near the door, a small smile forming as she watches them.

Ciel sighed into the bloodwine and looked around at all of her guests. She tried to smile at Ambassador Le'Noir and her smile faltered just a bit.

"It is better to be what you have it in yourself to be, Lady," Lysandor says to Ciel. When Regent arrives to bring Ciel a beverage, he bows to him. He straightens and almost automatically settles into a wary, but respectful stance, less like a courtier escort and more like a sedate Hellhound guarding its ward, watching as the guests begin to stream in.

Ciel just can't seem to keep her smile as she looks back at Lysandor, but she does keep the strained whisper.
"The problem is that I do not know if I have it within me to be anything but what I was...and please, slow down on calling me lady...it will take me forever to get used to it..."

Regent taps his crystal glass with a resonant * ting, ting, ting.
"The festivities are about to begin in the dining room. If you all would gather there we will start with the cutting of the cake ceremony."
