Velte nods, smiling. "Thank you." She leaves, looking for the Proregina, assuming it must be someone important, since she'd never heard that title before. Spotting an elegantly dressed Nocture who seems to fit in very well with the surroundings, she brushes off a bit of dust from her gown, frowning at the blood that she's never been able to quite wash out. She'd buy a new one, but she doesn't have the money to get a fancy one, and she knows no dressmakers. She sighs and approaches Souhayla, then feels like screaming. Her mother, Kvatyr, has already found the Nocturne and Xolotl is kneeling to put the two ladies more at eye level.
Velte hisses under her breath, having a strong feeling that trying to talk with who seems to be hosting the gathering while her mother is present and goofing around will only stir up more problems between them.
Velte turns around, now seeking Ragnarok, hoping to find some sort of comfort. Her blood boils when she sees Krova and Mortos messing around with their supplies. Not even fifteen minutes and already those two are showing off and helping people.
Ragnarok stands up, seeing a seething Velte approaching her. She walks up to her, and gently cups Velte's chin. "What happened, dear? Mommy issues again?" Staring at her, Ragnarok sees Velte's eyes drift towards Krova. Remembering all the suffering that Mirror's father caused him, she suddenly slaps Velte across her cheek. "I will not have a repeat of what happened with Vinten. My son is finally free and there's nothing you can do about it. Now, you're at a party, enjoy yourself and stay out of our business or I will talk to Kvatyr about this and send you home. Is that understood?" Velte nods, bottling up her anger. Still furious, she leaves them to explore the garden.

Little does Velte know, it seems the Nocturne is about to leave. Catching the last bit of the conversation, Kvatyr looks to the Spiral with the bright red eyes, grinning. She lightly taps Xolotl's antler and he turns to face Leah. Kvatyr bows as best she can, sitting on her body guard's shoulders. "Evening, my dear. I assume this is the hostess, but it sounds like she has business to attend to. I couldn't help but notice your beautiful eyes. Are you from the Plaguelands as well?"
Ragnarok wanders, looking for Kvatyr again. Finally she finds her and stops beside Xolotl, catching Kvatyr's attention for a second, Ragnarok points to her, claps once, then drags a finger across her throat in a slicing motion. Having long ago adjusted to these sort of charades, Kvatyr points to herself, raising an eyebrow, then brings her thumb and index finger together. Ragnarok nods, points to herself, claps, taps her head, points to Kvatyr, claps again, then punches her own open palm. Kvatyr nods, and moves her hand in a circle, pointing at Leah with the other one. Ragnarok looks at Leah and waves. "Sorry about that. Family problems."
