When the meeting was dismissed it was all but the Queen that stayed. Sebastian knew the conversation that came,but what he did not expect was having the king and his son having a very similar conversation before them. Seeing King Edmond chose to be so candid with him during the disappointment of his son,Martin took it upon himself to correct his sons mistake. Martin waited for Victor to lead them to their Quarters. One by one they were lead to whatever doors would lead to their rooms before Victor dismissed himself to see to other business.<br/><br/>The wolves met in Martin's room. There was a moment of silence as the two approached the wolf who grabbed himself a drink. A light sip was taken before Martin lashed out at his son. Pushing him back with enough force to force him from Midway through the room back into the double doors that they walked through seconds ago. His bright yellow eyes met the same of his father. Martin the first to speak out loudly "You make decisions without my approval now?!?" Valentine stood. His suit ruin and his shirt and jacket torn in several places. "You have thrown away your leadership over the Den for next couple centuries with this stunt. What? To embarrass me? You embarrass yourself. Parading around as if you are someone important. All those years trained. Wasted!"<br/><br/>Valentine approached his father again. Neck snapping slightly as he fixed his posture and cleaned the bit of blood that dripped down a wound already healed. Martin was the only one to speak but Valentine's eyes bared the same rage that his father's did. "You will go to the dinner and say nothing. Sebastian. See to this. If he speaks. The LaCroix will need a new lapdog because my son will be out of circle. Get out!"<br/><br/>Valentine stood there looking father in the eye down to the very second before Sebastian pulled him away and began guiding him out of the room. The large double doors opened and closed once more. Leaving the two to walk back towards their respected quarters in silence. Sebastian being one to feign away from ever being silent long. "He's right you know. All of this. What he's building. He's doing it for you."<br/><br/>Valentine scoffed and said "He's building a golden coffin. He wants everyone to look at him and remember how good the good old days once were." Sebastian chimed in immediately and said "So? He's leaving everything to you. Not me. Not anyone else in the circle. His final wish will be for you to take over. Even now he has not dismissed you or killed you. Should I have done the same I'd be dead." Valentine opened the door to his room and slammed it behind him. Looking to grab a change of clothes before the dinner. The last thing he needed was for the LaCroix to ask any questions about his attire.<br/><br/>Sebastian removed himself. Walking down to the dining room area and instead moving to work around the issues that came with the new Shakey ground the alpha and his son walked on. It was an obvious arrangement that the three would be seated together. Tonight was not the night for those two to be allowed anywhere near each other. Sebastian waited. He heard the soft feet of a familiar vampire. Sebastian hoped it would be Victor instead of Donovan knowing a bit of what Donovan was capable of. After the feet walked away,Sebastian began to rearrange the seating. With Valentine being seated between Ellanore and Victor and Donovan sitting between him and Martin. Valentine was moved further down the line in the opposing side. Now nearest to the end instead of closer to the second seat of power that the seating was arranged in,but this meant that Valentine would be away from the King,away from the Alpha and less likely to cause any more outbursts.<br/><br/>After removing himself from the scene of the crime he heard the footsteps of small groups heading in their direction. Sebastian hopped to the opposite side of the table and took a seat in his seat. Seeing the small groups of people and Valentine in a new shirt and jacket. Tight vest hugging his form with a lit cigarette in hand. Valentine spotted his seat and said nothing. Made no inquiries and made no attempt to move his seat .The sounds of more footsteps becoming louder as it seemed the rest of the guests were coming to join them.
