Valentine rested himself against the bar while waiting for Ellanore to give him a moment of her attention. There seemed to be a quick response as she asked him to join her. He sat besides her and after hearing her mention a smoke,Valentine reached into his pocket inside of his jacket. Opening a new pack and giving the pack a few slaps down against his open palm while listening to Ellanore as she spoke about the Griffin's betrayal and the accusations made on the court floor that night. It seemed to be a touchy subject for all vampires as the crowd seemed to eat up the drama with smirks and giggles being a common trait among the crowd. Whatever this was,it was an oil for a fire that looked best kept put out.<br/><br/>After the few slaps down,Valentine open the pack and took out two cigarettes. Placing them both on his lips and lighting them before the wolf took a long drag. A light smoke trail leaving his nose as he exhaled the majority of it before offering the princess one of the lit cigarettes. "I don't know the history between your family and these Griffins. Whatever it is. It seems like they wish to make this feud public and bloody. Something that will cause problems when an alliance is being built. It seems like your enemies will only become ours and my father will not be standing idle while a threat continues to ramp up and cause trouble for the both of our kinds." Valentine took another drag from his cigarette before letting his arm rest on the bar top. Hand resting just in front of princess on the hard wood.
