[indent][sub]With The Council [/sub][/indent]

Upon stepping inside, there was nothing there that wasn't already expected. The table was set up as usual and members of the council were already taking up their usual seats. Audrielle didn't waste time in sliding into her spot and as per usual, her two caretakers took up the empty seats on each side of her. She leaned heavily into her seat, reaching into her pocket to pull out her phone. The young source blood doubted she was truly needed for this meeting. If it was anything like the others, whatever they spoke about would be foreign to her anyways. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Aida cast her a disapproving look but didn't voice any object she may have felt towards Audrielle's behavior. The young source blood didn't bother to look up from her phone until Rene finally stepped into the room. 

Out of everyone in the council, he easily interested her the most. He was a wild card and someone who always had Louis and Aida on edge. While she wasn't sure how much she actually trusted him, his dramatics were at least a bit entertaining to her, especially when everyone else was usually so stiff and formal. Apparently they hadn't been on the worst terms during her past life either according to Aida. Audrielle shifted her gaze over to Simon as he prompted Rene for the reasoning behind this meeting. Just as he did, she felt Aida nudge her leg and turned to see the old blood gesture for her to put the thing away. Audrielle rolled her eyes annoyedly but obliged and shoved the electronic back into her pocket. While she could have ignored her, part of Audrielle was curious about the meeting. As far as she knew, Rene rarely, if ever, called such gatherings. Even if she wasn't directly involved, she was curious about what the source blood had to share with the council. 

A faint smirk crossed her lips as Rene toyed with Simon and addressed her. In response, the young source blood dipped her head to him in a respectful manner. It was a gesture she hadn't bother to give Simon. Whether he cared about such things or not, she wasn't against irritating the old source blood, who was often an offender of taking about subjects she didn't understand. Besides her, Louis glanced over at her with a faint frown and she shrugged her shoulders a bit carelessly before focusing her gaze onto Rene. His sudden shift in attitude didn't slip past her attention and it caused her to pay a bit more attention as he slowly built up to what he had to say. 

Audrielle watched his gaze filter over the faces sitting at the table and waited to see who it would land on. It was almost like a planned game of spin the bottle only she hadn't been prepared for it to land on her. Her hazel eyes blinked in bewilderment as Rene focused his gaze on her and announced that he had called the meeting for some reason pertaining to her. Confusion flashed over her features. It wasn't the first time the council had discussed her but it was the first time Rene had. Well, at least it was the first time he had called a meeting regarding her at least. Though she had no idea where he was going with this, it wasn't difficult to guess that it likely had something to do with regaining her memories.

The council had discussed and tried multiple tactics. They had gone over her timeline, shown her personal objects, taken her to where she had once lived, shared stories, and more but nothing had jogged the lady's memory. Audrielle thought they had given up with trying anything new but now suspecting Rene had something in mind made her particularly interested. The source blood wasn't as stiff as the others so perhaps his plan would be a bit more out of the box. Something that would be enough to stir something in her, whether it was her powers or memories. The thought of getting back the powers she had heard the others talk about excited the young source blood and she looked to him with eager curiosity. He had called this meeting with a plan in mind and she wanted to know what it was. 

Apparently the excitement wasn't shared though.

Louis and Aida had both gone tense as soon as her name had left the source blood's lips. Aida shifted a bit closer to her friend and glanced with uncertainty towards Simon, trying to gauge the source bloods reaction. However, before he could say anything, Louis spoke up. "And what exactly does that mean?" Louis questioned, struggling to keep the accusation out of his voice. Despite not being a source blood, he eyed Rene evenly. "If this is about her memory or powers, the council has already discussed this and we're trying what we can. I see no reason to go over the same things again."

"Hold on, Louis. Just hear what he has to say." Audrielle suddenly spoke up, placing a hand on the old blood's shoulder before focusing her gaze on Rene. "What exactly did you want to discuss about me, Belmont?" she asked, leaning forward slightly to rest her elbows against the table.
