The crowd funneling out and the LaCroix finding themselves left Martin and Valentine alone for a moment. Even Sebastian was dismissed and the two stood. Quiet and lost in a thought that quickly met on another. Before Martin could speak, Valentine said "Sebastian is losing his grip. He is moving without leadership. He holds no direction." Martin raised an eyebrow to the comment. It was Valentine's need for change that started this change. This need to prove oneself. Even if Sebastian was doing it in the wrong way.<br/><br/>"He sees you taking to your new position well. He wishes that it would be him that would lead the Den in the land of the Nocturnals. However. You handled him well enough. The Queen made no comment to anyone on the matter so that leaves our peace in as stable a position as it was before Sebastian's little outburst." Valentine followed the princess with his eyes as his father spoke. Martin paying close attention to his son that saw the redhead break off from her family and head off to the bar alone. "Go. I will deal with Sebastian after I speak alone with Edmond about his son. Donovan knows more than he lets on."<br/><br/>Valentine kept his gaze on Ellanore and it was not til his father's footsteps were far enough away that he began to approach Ellanore without care. He saw her sat at the bar with no one dating interior her. Not even the bartender spoke to her after finding out what wine she would be having that evening. Valentine took his steps with authority. Wanting Ellanore to hear him approach as to not startle the woman when he took a seat beside her. When the bartender walked in his direction,Valentine waved the man away and turned his back in his direction ,turning to face Ellanore fully. "Are all precedings here as...exciting as that one,Ellanore? Or was this one a meeting that demanded attention from all in attendance?"
