Truth be told, England is a bit to damp for Sofia's taste, unlike her native Italy. At least the plants giving off their scent in the night air smells half way pleasant.  "Yes, I've felt that in the past as well. Although Mother and I travel extensively, so we often have opportunities to catch our prey safely without raising suspicions." She follows a little bit behind Sofia in respectful manner.<br/><br/>Sofia paused for a second, letting Lilliana think over that. "We've recently just returned from the Americas, as a matter of fact. They have such lovely animals over there." Too bad they had only gotten to see the nocturnal animals, but those had been beautiful and graceful in their own way, even the sloths so high up in the canopies of the rain forests.<br/><br/>"I've also heard that the palace has lovely gardens, dating from when the castle was built." Sofia's keen eyes had picked up on a figure sitting on one of the stone benches that are placed through out the garden. "If you get the chance your majesty, you must go see the Alhambra in Spain. The fountains and tile work are astonishing."<br/><br/>Lady Anna watched as the new comer approached the royal table. A good looking man and his son, to be sure, but never as handsome as her Alexi. To her ears, his speech sounded rather practiced, like something from a haiku speech. But for now, she says nothing, not being the one spoken to.<br/><br/>While the vampires dined and interacted, the human servants had been sent to prepare their quarters. Luckily Ladies Anna and Sofia prefers sleeping in a bed instead of some cold and damp old crypt. Even though the noble vampires had packed light there is still much to put away. Molly knows she is in for a long night, as she is to stay up and help her ladies prepare for bed.
