Anna caught the prince's hesitation at Sofia's interest in spiders and catacombs. "I assure you, Sofia is interested in learning hands on. She dearly loves all of the ancient buildings of her native Italy. She had done some lovely drawings of aqueducts in Spain." Any gave the other young male vampire a polite small smile. "Ah, to be young again. But you know what they say, youth is wasted on the young."<br/><br/>Then she turned her attention to Aldreth and Thothcapel again. "The planet that represents war, and of course the male vampire. T'is a shame there will not be eclipse anytime soon. That would be most lucky for all involved." Anna turned her head slightly to be able to look over the assembled vampires. "May I suggest that if the young of the families wish to do their own things the heads of families retire to a drawing room for a good class of blood and spirits?" After all, Anna has no use for dancing. Their majesties might do a dance or two, simply to be good hosts.<br/><br/>As she enters the stables, a beautiful black Arabian mare pokes her head over the stone wall in order to see who the new person in her stables is and if the newcomer had maybe brought her a treat. Sofia slowly approached the mare, extending a hand towards her so as not to spook her. Softly the Italian vampire strokes along the mare's jaw. The mare dips her head a little, enjoying the touch.
