Salem returned her smile, giving his attention to Max as Lilie posed her question. It was an honest thought, did Max have any ambitions? And did they lay in the fields of art? Salem didn't think so but who knows? Stranger things have happened. There was a slight ease as Aaron returned into the room, knowing he was the one handing out all the drinks and food made Salem a bit less suspicious that he may be poisoned tonight. If anything he didn't believe Aaron had th gal to do it. He sat back as Aaron instructed but not enough to seem lax. Following the conversation with his eyes and simply listening in more so than anything, full glad to watch others interact and offer up themselves rather than have himself speak and place the spotlight on him. [Color=82ca9d]"That really was a bold performance Maddie, bringing fire into the house of a Noble without the means to control it. And to use it in such a wonderful display."[/color] Salem had leaned forward, resting his elbow against his knee to prop up his head when suddenly Max asked a question Salem hadn't expected to hear.

His smile fell flat and he immediately sat back once more, eyes gliding over towards the main room full of Vampire Nobles and Eris. Salems gaze moved back to Lilie and Max, wondering how best to answer this question. As calmly and matter of fact as anyone could be he finally spoke up. [Color=82ca9d]"We aren't meant to do anything really. This is a vampire hosted party and [i]we[/i] are not guests, they are. We are to be seen but not heard. So long as we stay in sight and do nothing to disrupt their [i]fun[/i] then we can do as we please. Other than that we would typically help attend them, the way Aaron is doing so tonight. His mind being halfway here and halfway there, thinking of what to do next, when, and how. Now, had a mage thrown this party things would be done differently. We'd be free to do more of what we please or at the very least adhere to our host."[/color] He hated to say it but this wasnt meant to be a night of fun for them.
