Valentine chuckled at what Ellanore said. She spoke about him as if he was a familiar face. In reality he had only been here for as long as a week yet it was his company that she said she wanted. He didn't know whether the people she was around were as bad as they seemed or whether he had done something to truly catch her eye. When she began to talk about the crowd of people who continued to fill the large throne room full with sound, aside from their constant starting, it seemed that their attention seemed driven in the crowd itself.<br/><br/>"Not tonight, Ellanore. I would like to keep as level a head as I can." Valentine reached to his side and pulled out a cigarette. After a quick light and drag, Valentine passed it to Ellanore. A second one was not lit and his hand waited expectantly after it would be taken. "I don't know these people. But they should watch their mouths around me. That is one of the things that differ from here and the Den. We don't handle daggered words well. We handle situations immediately as they approach us."
