My, this facade was quite bothersome, wasn't it? Aleksiya wondered why she had even adopted it in the first place. Perhaps it had made it somewhat easier to get in, but now that they were there, it was frankly more frustrating then ever to maintain. Stepping away from her companions, the small vampire ran her fingers through her lengthy hair.

It was time to drop it.

"Aleksiya," she introduced herself, "Aleksiya Ravennart. I'm quite pleased to be meeting the one in charge around here."

Smiling pleasantly, she dropped into a curtsy. Certainly, someone with this level of authority would not have been of important [i]political[/i] consideration prior to her death, but in this scenario it was important to speak with him. Aside from that matter, merely because he wouldn't have been an important political figure didn't mean that he wasn't completely beneath [i]any[/i] consideration. There was no-one in this world who was not beneath her save for those who stood as her compatriots(at least, some of them) and Ichor above her. But consideration to those beneath her made everything run smoother, prevented reckless abuse of the undeserving, and made it far easier to enjoy herself.

And in this situation, it could only lead them to more blood. Frankly, Aleksiya would have liked to take a new thrall as well, but that would have to wait for a good opportunity.

There was that other matter she'd have to attend to, as well...

But first, the most immediate concerns. Dragan had the right idea, certainly. Their first major human contact with any organization, as woefully shabby as their surroundings were, was in clear need of assistance. Simply waiting out these beasts was merely surviving rather than thriving, and while surviving was the first step that didn't mean that they could not be assisted in doing better.

"These beastmen," she continued, "Do you know where they come from? I'm certain I've seen their remains on the way here. What are their numbers like? Their strength? I'm curious, to say the least."
