As Lucan moved to enjoy his solitude, lost amongst the darkness of the Hall he was called back to the Councilor's table. With a forced smile and incline of his head he slowly but surely returned to the table and titled his head in curiosity on what they required of him. 

"Apologies for taking more of your time but I see you signed up for the Arena Guild, but that needs to be done at the table right over there." The Councilor pointed out a table that seemed quite busy and Luc had to utilize his training not to roll his eyes. Instead he removed his handkerchief from his right front pocket and dusted some invisible dust from his jacket. He simply smiled and nodded to the Councilor and turned to head over to the table indicated.

As he moved his eyes caught sight of the nobility already beginning to congregate together and Luc felt his eyes rolling internally once more, of course they would already begin scheming. Probably already set up some sort of council on which to exert their will on the rest of the Freshman class. He purposefully avoided eye contact as he moved past them and instead greeted some of the other purebloods who of course wished to greet someone from a family such as the Bordeleaux's. They might not be nobility but the Bordeleaux's boasted the strongest and best trained military of any other vampiric territory and were famous as personal guards for the Noila family. 

"Look, it's the Knight of the Evening. What in the name of the council is he doing here?" Came a soft whisper to Lucan's right and he forced himself not to glance over, or to even acknowledge that he heard the rumor mill already begin turning. He had considered on not even wearing such a blatant statement of who he was with his outfit, but in the end decided that he wasn't ashamed of himself or his family so why hide it. 

He reached the sign-up table and was surprised to see those in line seemed a bit star struck, forgetting all manners and staring. Luc simply ignored them, waiting patiently for his turn to write down his interest and when it finally came he browsed the sections and for experience simply put his name and shrugged. The girl sitting at the table seemed to scoff at that and frowned at Lucan. "So you think that your name is enough for me to judge your worth?" Luc could hear the testiness in her voice and assumed that she was one of the officers of the guild.

[color=#9932CC]"Considering what family I'm from I assumed that one who understands dueling would know exactly my experience based on such. If that's not enough I will be happy to elaborate but I may need another sheet."[/color] He tilted his head as he finished, almost questioningly and a few of the vampires behind him chuckled softly to themselves. Luc saw the girls eyes flashed and took a moment to memorize the name on her nametag. [color=#9932CC]"Athena."[/color] He added as an afterthought.

"How about instead I challenge you myself to see what you've got. If you're good enough perhaps we'll see what we can do with you, make sure you sign up for the mage test as well 'Bordeleaux'." Luc simply nodded at her words and shrugged before turning and walking away from the table. His eyes browsed the crowd and as he saw the noble party growing decided to happily ignore that scene. He hated the political scene, was good at it but hated it immensely. He instead walked towards the back once more, hearing a sword clash which indicated that he had a message. Luc allowed a very faint ghost of a smirk to form on his face which was almost instantly replaced with stoicism again.

[color=#CBBA2E]> [i]You sneaky bastard! You never told me you'd be here too![/i][/color] Luc read the message a few times and gave a sigh, of course Aaron had found out before he could find the blond. Luc let his fingers flow over the keyboard of his phone and sent a quick reply.

[color=#9932CC]> [i]I wasn't truly given a choice, like most things. But the question is how exactly do you know I'm here?[/i][/color] As he hit send he found he was close to the back of the room with the embraced and once again he let his eyes scan over the two younger vampires from earlier that he had observed when he first entered the building. They would at least be better company than the nobility and would keep any purebloods from attempting to gain favor with him as well. With a second of hesitation Luc found himself slowly approaching the two and tilted his head when his phone clang once more.

[color=#CBBA2E]> [i]Because look who I'm talking to! XD[/i][/color] The picture that followed had Luc speechless for a moment before he recognized his partner, Salem Spellman kissing Aaron's cheek. Of course, this was exactly something that would happen and he found himself not even surprised. He simply shrugged and typed in an answer. 

[color=#9932CC]> [i]Oh, I see you've found my partner. How fortuitous, and you already appear close. Less that I have to do in the long run.[/i][/color] With that Luc looked up to find that the two embraced had seemed to disappear. The Bordeleaux was only stunned for a moment before his eyes spotted them headed back to the councilors. Of course they would venture into the thick of things now that Luc was looking to get away. He briefly considered just returning to the shadows and wait but he would have to mingle at some point, might as well get things started.

He slowly made it was back into the throng of vampires, the embraced and purebloods now mingling as everyone started talking about schedules and extra curricular activities. Luc found himself almost pushed into the noble circle and gave the vampire that ran into him a glare that would scare the dead before pushed past them and behind the two embraced males he was going to approach before. [color=#9932CC]"One would think that someone just dumped blood all over the floor to drink the way everyone is acting."[/color] He tilted his head and raised one eyebrow while then inclining his head in respect to the two dark haired embraced vampires. [color=#9932CC]"Lucan Bordeleaux, a pleasure to make your acquaintances."[/color]
