The Kindred of New York mourn their losses.
The memorial at the Ivory Tower is of course a lavish and grand affair held with all officials and members of the court attending, along with anyone else who can stomach it. It is, after all, more about the Prince and his allies putting on a good show and a good face over what happened then it is about those who were lost. Most of what the Prince had to say was a rehash of his words from his speech the other day with just a bit more to say on Anastasia herself. The Herald gave off a naming of the other lost in the fire as well.
Afterward, members of the court quietly whispered among themselves over what happened and their losses before they started to slip away one by one until the halls of the Ivory Tower were as quiet as a tomb.
As people slowly drifted away from the Ivory Tower, many found themselves at the bar of one of Micah's hotels that was just them for the night. Some of those there had never seen went to the memorial at the Ivory Tower at all but came here instead.
Most within the bar knew Anastasia or one the others lost more personally and stories and talk was more easily and warmly shared. And those who were still angered by what happened—well, it was easier to speak more freely here and find more sympathetic ears than they would have at the Tower.
