Re: Una and Cassius
"Very little," Cassius admitted. "Lord and Lady Black have nothing to say but of each other, and very little of substance. I've told them you might arrange for a dinner, but after speaking with each of them tonight, I should be surprised if anything useful comes out of it. They do say werewolves can be debilitated, by finding their Mates. I wonder if Lord Black might be in danger of losing his perspective."
An opportunity, if so: with Black's attention on the prettiness of his wife's eyes, Cassius might be able to subtly influence matters in the House of Shadows in the vampires' favour. Black was the shining golden boy of the packs, risen to prominence and showing capable leadership at a young age--youth, however, had its distractions, and Black seemed to have fallen prey to them.
"Kessinger agrees that human progress is inevitable, and that while airships may not replace railroads, they will supplant ships. I trust his judgment; he's seen more centuries than I have, certainly...although I'm sure the two of you would measure time in a different fashion," Cassius finished, amused.
"And the baker is here," Cassius finished, without looking around for a sight of her, though the impulse was there. "Dressed as a nymph. She claims a difference of opinion on her status than di Palermo claimed, which, while not entirely a surprise, is not what I expected. She seems to think I am 'up against' something to do with her, which I should like to know more about, should you have the opportunity to engage her in conversation. If she thinks di Palermo is a rival or a threat to the Ravensworth coven, then I consider her evaluation to be...misinformed. I'm sure we have di Palermo to thank for that."
