Solenne couldn't help but continue to knead the side of his head with two of his fingers. The idea that Beatrix was going to hunt a rogue in the city worried him greatly. Not only was she prone to causing a lot of collateral, but Solenne had tried his hardest to ensure the human civic leaders of the city that ferals and rogues of the cursed ones were something of the past. They had been breathing down his neck ever since the indiscriminate killings. While he disliked the idea of using Trixy as an attack dog...it seemed like his last resort. 

“Glad you remember you need to check in” he said, his voice coming out smoothly. 

This was not going to go smoothly. Solenne knew this when he saw the blaze in Delilah’s eyes as she stormed off and soon Danilo, the red headed man who asked him to sing at his own wedding came in, dragging with him Tholo. Ah the mutt DID have friends. Go figure. The old Vampire’s ever keen eyes flicked to the movement of Beatrix. She moved the arm her ink would have been on the moment they had seen Tholo. A small smirk played on his pale lips. Solenne was going to introduce Trixy to them, but the conversation was quickly overtaken by the other two members. Trixy and Dan had a small talk, Trixy laughing at the idea of being Solenne’s sister no doubt. Solenne was instead caught up in the sight of Mia leaving the back. He smiled at her warmly as she set down the espresso in front of Trixy. A hand slid across his shoulder blade, Mia seeming to passively show Beatrix that Solenne was hers. The vampire smiled and reached a hand up, twining his fingers with Mia’s. Tholo decided to interject with a little barb. 

“Oh little pup, you've no idea how many of my kind are actually in the city do you?” Solenne said, the smile on his lips as sweet as his words were venomous. 

“How are you today, mia cara?” Solenne’s crimson eyes flicked towards Mia as he said that, the smile playing across his lips. 

“Yes, a human” Solenne answered Trixy, and he solemnly hoped the mischievous grin on his former flings lips wasn't going to go anywhere. Then she spoke. God Fucking Dammit. Solenne closed his eyes slowly, jaw slowly grinding back and forth before he sighed audibly. After that little barb at Mia, Tholo seemed to freeze up. It wouldn't be noticeable to the others, but Solenne could see it. He added a two actions together, with the need for Trixy to prove to someone that he and her had been together, and made a Sherlockian jump of logic. Solenne turned, smiling at the vampire across from him. She sat sipping at her espresso and he laughed “Say Trixy...it couldn't be that the pup Bartholomew is the name etched across your wrist….could it?” the smile on his lips widened. Solenne was always quite good at these jumps of logic.
