She hadn't been entirely prepared for what she found when she opened the door of her apartment but her surprise didn't show on her face (she had learned how to keep her features carefully schooled in the decades spent "learning" under her father) instead a welcoming smile curved her lips and she stepped back while making a sweeping gesture to invite the High Warlock into her home.<br/><br/>"It's an honor to meet you Elias, please, call me Gen. Only my father ever really used Elysia...and it usually meant I'd done something wrong," she admitted with a soft chuckle. Most would only have heard a sound of amusement, but those who listened close enough might have caught the sardonic undercurrent to the sound as well. She doubted any time spent with a demon parent was pleasant but sincerely hoped that others were still moreso than her own.<br/><br/>"Thank you," she said, her smile warm and genuine at the housewarming gift. It may have been simple, but coming from a simple man she didn't expect anything extravagant and, often, the most simple gifts were the most useful. She wasn't certain if she caught a hint of censure in his tone when he mentioned her having been in Vancouver for some time, or if that was her own guilt twinging in the back of her mind, but since he didn't directly berate her for the lapse in manners she didn't apologize but simply chose to explain, "I have been here for some time, yes. I live a rather nomadic sort of life so I don't tend to make myself known to the wider community in an area until I decide if I am going to make it home for a time or not. I find it is usually less disruptive to keep to myself if I'm only passing through," she admitted without adding that it was less disruptive for<em>her</em>as well as the community at large.<br/><br/>The barest hint of a shudder would run down Gen's spine at the mention of Shadowhunters. Some were alright but, overall, she tended to find them rather bothersome in general. They often made threats and demands all in the same breath when a simple request would often work to better results...and Gen wasn't a fan of threats or demands. Still the Accords demanded some semblance of cooperation with them and their coin was as good as anyone else's...and she was just fae enough that her services were<em>never</em>free, though what she exacted as payment could vary wildly based on the person doing the asking and<em>how</em>they asked.<br/><br/>"No doom-and-gloom, but I will admit, I try to avoid Shadowhunters and their politics when possible," she said, wanting the High Warlock to know she wouldn't be the sort to bring Shadowhunters down on their business or community. "But yes, as you said, this is meant to be a party. I'm told you tend to enjoy more simple fair and have ensured there is plenty to offer that will, hopefully, appeal to all my guests tastes. Fruits, simple breads, cheeses and meats are all on the side board, alone with more exotic offerings if you choose to branch out for the evening. The bar area has spring water, a variety of herbal teas, as well as more decadent drinks and mixers as well. Please feel free to make yourself at home and, if you find too many people overwhelming, or just annoying, the library is just off to the right and has a variety of books and scrolls that might interest you. Feel free to peruse and if there's something you'd like to borrow, just let me know," she added wanting to make this man, who in many ways reminded her of the monks she spent her formative years with, feel as comfortable as possible in her home.<br/>
