Valena perked up when Marcus spoke her name, smiling as he regarded her, acknowledging he knew the difference between her and Ebony obviously as he looked at Ebony when he spoke her name. Valena smiled some more as she stared at Kozlak, he was surprising quiet in comparison to Marcus, it made her wonder what he was thinking at the time, surely it must be something important, else he wouldn't be so stiff and formal around her would he? Blood red eyes flicked back to Marcus as he talked, smirking as he had noted her remark from earlier and chose to play in on it, it was good, that way he knew that she knew he had been around a lot longer than he was willing to admit. It would make for a good conversation one day. Valena smiled when Kozlak answered Marcus' question, she was a little irritated that he knew the whereabouts of her flighty lover better than she did nowadays, maybe he had settled for a different companion as Adian marvelled in absence still. The idea made Valena quite sad, she had prided herself over capturing the attention of the covens leader what with all the other, more attractive vampires running around, so it was a loss she would not easily get over if Adian had found other company. However it did open new windows for Valena to pursue Kozlak a little further, her eyes danced back to Kozlaks face, noticing he was staring at her, she smiled at him.
Ebony smiled politely when Marcus gave notice to face he now knew which one was Ebony and which was Valena, it was quite endearing for a vampire to acknowledge another vampire like that, especially ones as young as her and Valena. She was quite impressed with the elder vampire, which had become apparent to Ebony the moment Marcus chose to show himself, she was unsure of Kozlaks position as of yet as he remained silent for the most, letter Marcus lead the conversation, was it out of respect? or purely to humor the newly awoken vampire? There were plenty of questions Ebony would of wanted to ask as she stared into Marcus' blue eyes, her head tilting a little when he noticed he was uncomfortable looking at her eyes somehow because he shook himself and didn't look at her again. Ebony took in a little more air then necessary and hoped no one noticed when she released it, not exactly wanting it to sound as a sigh at this point. A new name had been introduced into the conversation a little earlier, Adian, someone Valena obviously knew as her posture changed when his name was mentioned, Ebony doubted the men noticed but she did. Smiling to herself Ebony noted Adian was probably off limits should she consider finding a companion for the unwanted hours of sleep, not that she had intention of doing that but just in case so not to upset Valena she decided it was worth remembering. Ebony's golden eyes turned back to Marcus as he said he and Kozlak should be moving on, she smiled a little when he excused himself, something he didn't have to do at all, being a vampire elder and everything. Her smile widened and her golden eyes gleamed when Marcus said he hoped to hear more of their skills in the near future, to Ebony this meant the piano wasn't off limits and it made her happy that she had access to one tuned so finely. Ebony snickered softly to herself when she saw Marcus making a bow to her and Valena as a sign of goodbyes, Ebony settled for a reverènce like Valena's earlier, bowing her head low before raising back to her impressive height of 6'5" and smiling at Marcus as he backed away.
Valena's eyes were wide as she caught Marcus moving in the corner of her eye, she looked at him in shock as he bowed to her and Ebony indicating his and Kozlaks departure. Valena had been busy staring at Kozlak that she hadn't been paying attention to what was happening around her as she faltered, eyeing Ebony as she saw her make a reverènce to Marcus. Quickly gathering her footing Valena bowed, lifting her beige dress slightly between her slender fingers as she gestured goodbye to Marcus in reply to his bow. Valena kept her position for a little longer, hearing Marcus' footsteps backing away before she raised her head, wondering why an elder would show such sign of courtesy when he didn't have to at all. Her blood red eyes locked onto Kozlak as she eyed him curiously, her was still standing there so she decided to post a question while she had the chance "Will you join us for a hunt later" she asked, earning a soft groan from Ebony to her right when she did

Kozlak smirked and laughed in his thoughts for Marcus to read as he left to wait for him at the exit of the room. His crimson yellow eyes on Valena still and then moved to Ebony briefly before returning back to Valena as she began to speak.
Smirking some "I would be glad to go on a hunt with you two later. I'll meet you both outside the main doors after dusk then?"
As then Kozlak then went into a bow for the two women and stood back up.
"Thank you both for the wonderful music earlier. And it was pleasant to meet you Ebony. I'll see you both later. Goodbye Ebony, Goodbye Valena."
Bowing to them both again as he then began to walk to the exit where Marcus had been waiting for him. As Kozlak nodded to Marcus and then began to lead Marcus down the hall towards Adian's quarters.

*The walk seemed a bit longer than what would have been expected, especially since it was only a few doors down... the only thing was, each room was quite large, not like the library where they just came from, but still rather big.*
"Valena and Ebony, I see you just met Ebony for the first time as well... How do you know Valena... She has quite pride from the looks of it... Not backing down at all from either of us as we approached, yet she is too young to be as powerful. As us at least."
*Marcus continued, now walking beside Kozlak. Paintings in gold borders hung along the walls. Somewhat masterpieces, yet nothing new for Marcus's eyes, and he barely gave a second glance to any of them. He didn't really wait for Kozlak to answer his first question when he began speaking again.*
"That Ebony, quite gifted at playing such a tool as complicated as piano. In all my years I had never been so impressed by a pianist until her and Valena, though I have never been struck so deeply by a song either. I insist we will have to go and listen to something else played by them. At least I shall... and I hope, Ebony will not refuse."

Valena simply glowed when Kozlak agreed to meeting her and Ebony later for a hunt, she heard the groan from Ebony and she wondered absently what was wrong. Her blood red eyes still locked onto Kozlak as he asked her if they would meet outside at dusk, Valena simply nodded, not trusting her voice at this point as she smiled, showing her fangs. She smiled even wider when Kozlak made a bow, Valena made a reverènce once more, this one deeper than the one she had given Marcus earlier, she hoped he didn't notice the difference, and if he did how he would take that. After all Valena wasn't sure how old the vampires were exactly so technically she didn't know which one was the most important one. "Bye Kozlak, bye Marcus" Valena chipped up happily as she smiled still, not noticing Ebony glaring at her.
Ebony groaned when Valena asked Kozlak to join them for a hunt later, she wasn't sure whether the invitation counted for Marcus as well but knowing Valena it probably was, she would never be one to exclude anyone. The problem was how on earth would Ebony hunt with the three vampires, after all, Valena still drank human blood if you based that on her eye colour, Kozlak seemed to as well as they were the same crimson, though it would appear he fed on animals too because of the yellow streaks and Marcus, well Ebony wasn't quite sure the vampire had hunted in a while so she didn't know his diet. Her golden eyes burned, turning from a liquid topaz to a frozen solid as she stared at Valena, she noted she bow lower for Kozlak so apparently he was off limits too. Ebony couldn't help but smirk at the younger vampire, was there any man safe in the coven with the petite brunette around? Ebony decided she didn't want to know. She bowed curtly to Kozlak when he left her eyes never leaving Valena as she was still angry with the woman. When she was sure Marcus and Kozlak were out of hearing range she turned to the brunette "What the hell was that all about? do you have any idea what you have gotten me into?" she hissed.
Valena was slightly taken aback from the hissed words from Ebony, she was confused, frowning "What do you mean? don't you want to go hunting with them? aren't you interested in their stories at all?" she asked, feeling a little hurt. Ebony had never been so reluctant to go hunting with other vampires but then again Valena hadn't seen the blacked haired vampire in a while, maybe things had changed. With a look of anguish she stared at Ebony waiting for her to answer.
Ebony forced herself to relax a little, forcing her balled fists to unclench as she stared angrily at Valena still "I don't feed on humans remember" she hissed at the younger girl, watching her recoil a little when he words hit home. A look of shock crossing the brunettes face as she realised what Ebony meant now, huffing Ebony stared at the girl "Now I'm going to have to either hunt sometime else or you all will have to stay as far away from me as you possibly can" she said, not really wanting to miss out on the hunting trip, she actually was thirsty but she didn't want to risk the temptation of flowing human blood so nearby. Golden eyes softening a little as Ebony looked at Valena, knowing the younger vampire hadn't really thought it through well enough before she suggested it, so really it wasn't her fault entirely.
Valena was absolutely horrified at herself, how could she be so careless, of course she should have kept Ebony's new diet in mind but she was still so used to the fact that Ebony once drank human blood as well. Looking sheepish she murmured "I'm really sorry Ebony, I hadn't thought of that yet" she paused as she stared at the floor, pondering "I'm pretty sure you can still go hunting with us later, we'll stay far away from you as we can so not to tempt you, I'm pretty sure Kozlak and Marcus won't mind when we explain the situation to them" she said hopeful.
Ebony shrugged "I'm not sure and maybe they won't even make it, didn't they say they were going to meet with this Adian person, maybe they'll be spending the whole night talking" she suggested, earning a frown from Valena. The idea of being stood up was obviously bother the petite brunette "I'm sure they will make it though" Ebony said quickly before Valena would throw a fit unworthy of a lady. "so what do we do now?" the black haired vampire asked with quasi innocence, she knew exactly what was on Valena's day planning when she had a so called date later on. She decided to humor the younger vampire and hoping to brighten her spirits a little as she obviously felt really guilty already.
Valena's red eyes began to gleam immediately as she raised her head at Ebony's innocent question, in her head she was already wondering what she was going to wear. Valena struck a pondering pose, her weight shifted onto one leg as she raised a finger to her lips appraising Ebony's attire "well, that'll do for now I guess" she said. Latching her hand onto Ebony's she began to tug the taller vampire out of the library and to her room, her mind set on changing clothes. She did notice Ebony cast one long longing look at the piano before she was pulled around the corner and through the hallway

Walking down the hall towards Adian's quarters nodding in agreeance to Marcus.
"Yes we should go back and listen them play something else for us another time. Soon hopefully."
As he finished replying to Marcus, Kozlak stopped in front of a closed door.
"We're here." he said as he approached the door and knocked 3 times.
As they waited for the door to open Kozlak turned to Marcus.
"I believe the invitation for the hunt later, is for you as well Marcus. And I believe the girls would be happy if you came." Ending his sentence to allow Marcus to think over his decision.

*Marcus, barely moved when Kozlak brought up the hunt tonight... But a moment later he turned his head from the bottom of the door to Kozlak.*
"Maybe... one of them won't even be joining us if her eyes are as truthful as they are glowing. What's more important to me is being caught up to speed on the years I have been gone. Although i'm sure it won't take a night, but i'll think about it after our conversation."
*Marcus waited a moment before hitting the bottom of his fist against the heavy door a few more times, just to make sure Adian heard it.*
"Come now Adian, there is much to discuss"
*Marcus whispered the words so Adian did not hear how impatient Marcus now was. Kozlak heard it of course, but the piano had cause behind it...*
"You are sure he is here Kozlak!"

Kozlak nodded to both his question about Adian and about Ebony for the hunt.
"Yes Adian should be in here. And yes I noticed Ebony eyes as well."
As Kozlak then stepped forward again and knocked several more times and waited for Adian to answer the door.

Adian looks up at the door from his meditation after the first set of knocks. Doesn't say anything gets up and puts on a shirt and his cloak. Then he hears the second set of knocks and walks towards his bed where his Sword and amulet lay. Picks them up and puts them on and starts walking towards the door..... Gets to the door, opens it and walks right past Kozlak and Marcus not saying a word. Stops at the tops of the stairs turns to them.
"What do we need to discuss?"
He continues down the stairs

*Marcus watches as Adian opened the door and walked right past the two of them and to the stairs... His gaze went from Adian's back to Kozlak who seemed to have the same expression as his own. Marcus blinked a few times and watched Adian once he stopped and spoke.*
"Well Adian, has anything happen in the hundreds of years i've been in this hidden dungeon? Or have we kept to ourselves... kept low over the years, Never had any problems?"
*Marcus looked at Kozlak.*
"Nothing of the sort?"

Kozlak looked at Marcus as Adian walked out of his room and towards the stairs asking what they have to talk about. Shaking his head to Marcus.
"I don't know what has happend here for the last several centuries Marcus, I just returned recently. I only have bits and pieces of what's happend here while I was gone."
Pivoting on his feet as he stared down the hallway at Adian.
"Were we not suppose to discuss my past to you Adian? And the position you would have me to do for you so the other vampires here dont think your being challenged or find out who I really am?" Standing silently beside Marcus just outside Adian's room still.

Valena was excited about the hunting trip she had quickly thrown together, she wasn't entirely sure if it was okay to just go hunting with the 4 of them when there were so many more hungry vampires in the mansion at this time. It was getting a little crowded in the mansion, very awkward but then again there weren't any new vampires, except for Kozlak and Raven, Marcus technically wasn't new in the mansion. Valena blamed it on the fact that she was hanging out around new vampires, she nodded swiftly to herself as she had towed Ebony to her room in super speed, ditching Ebony in the middle of the room Valena flew back to close her door, twisting the big bronze key in the keyhole to lock it "No escape now Ebony" she said with a smirk holding up the key and letting it slip into her dress, having noticed Ebony's large golden eyes seeking a way to slip out of this. Twirling around in her room Valena made her way to her large semi-walk in closet, yanking the two mahogany doors wide open the petite brunette stood in front of her closet, her blood red eyes scanning over her entire wardrobe critically. Her gaze shifted from her clothes to her own current attire and she pondered what she could wear best, obviously it had to be something lady like, dazzling, and yet practical so she wouldn't fall flat on her face while hunting with the elders. Hmm'ing to herself Valena moved to the left of her big closet, her eyes moving over her clothes there as she sidestepped to the right following her clothes with her eyes. Valena huffed and turned around annoyed, staring at Ebony who had seated herself onto the large bed "I have absolutely nothing to wear" she said, exasperated.
Ebony's eyes had widened the second she had caught onto Valena's trail of thoughts, there was no way the black haired vampire was going to get out of hours of standing in front of the closet, debating with the younger vampire what she could wear. The worst part was Valena would probably insist on re-dressing Ebony herself and being used as a live playdoll wasn't exactly Ebony's notion of doing something fun. Golden eyes moved frantically through the hallway as Ebony searched desperately for something or someone that could help her get out of this hellish ordeal. Giving up when the doors slammed shut behind her Ebony took a deep calming breath, her eyes locked onto the smaller brunette as she locked the door and told her there was no escape. A low snarl came from the black haired vampire as she considered her options, either she could attack Valena, make her give her back the key and run as fast as she could or she could endure it and hopefully stall Valena so much with bad advise on clothes she would never have enough time to play dress up with Ebony. The latter thought seemed to be the best one as Ebony didn't want to hurt her friend, much, as long as she kept the velvet locked safely into her closet and not forcing it on Ebony. Ebony noticed Valena had already busied herself in front of her huge closet and was obviously fuming over the fact she didn't have anything to wear, while the entire closet was filled to the brim the brunette would always say that. Shaking her head lightly Ebony made her way over to Valena's large bed, sitting on it as she stared at the younger vampire. Smirking when she turned around and adamantly told Ebony she had nothing to wear. Getting up from her place Ebony swiftly crossed the room and began pulling random bits of clothing out of the closet "wear that" she said as she gazed at her own horrific combination, a midnight blue velvet top with pearls embroided on it, with a dark purple just over the knee skirt with golden lining. Snorting she looked at Valena's reaction.
Valena looked absolutely horrified at Ebony's taste of clothes "my god what century do you live in girl" she muttered as she quickly put the clothes back into the closet "no one in their right mind would ever wear that unless they were trying to look ugly to repell an obsessive suitor" she continued as her hands trailed lightly over her clothes, feeling the fabric beneath her fingers. From the corners of her eyes Valena noticed Ebony shrugging and returning to the bed, only now laying down on it, obviously staring at the golden drapery above her head. Sighing overly much Valena turned her blood red eyes back to her clothes, this was going to take a while she thought merrily as she pushed some clothes aside so she could have a better look at what was hanging next to it. Her lips curling up into a smile as she began to hum softly to herself, she always liked looking for clothes for special occasions and this certainly would be one for sure. A hunt with a pair of elders and very possibly her long lost friend, who unfortunately would be some distance away because of her new stupid diet. Grumbling Valena's eyes shifted back to Ebony who was laying back on the bed, her eyes closed humming something to herself. Raising an eyebrow Valena backed away from the closet for a split second, making her way over to her desk as she grabbed a quil a bottle of ink and a roll of parchment, Valena knew it was old fashioned to write with a quil and on parchment but she liked the sqribbly noise the quill made on parchment. Putting it onto her bed Valena shot Ebony a meaningful look who had opened her eyes to stare at Valena, returning to her closet Valena pondered her options once more, hearing the joyful sribbling sound of a quill on parchment in the background.

"If you want me to tell you everything the follow me to my study and I shall fill in the blanks for you"
He starts walking down the stairs and towards his study

*Marcus slowly began taking his light steps towards the stairs which Adian only seconds ago climbed down. He paused a moment at the room where the piano sat, staring into the dark room, remembering the incredible sound that came only a few minutes ago... He exhaled heavily before looking over his shoulder back at Kozlak. There was obviously something between him and that smaller vampire... Valena... Although, something about it seemed forbidden. There was obviously more to this 'feeding' tonight than just going out for a meal. Either way... the weather was supposed to be nice... relatively mild but nice none the less... Although really, no matter the weather, a walk would be nice... being cooped up under this mansion for so long it all smells the same now. Marcus looked forward again and began making his way down the winding staircase.*
"See you there Kozlak"

Kozlak didnt budge while Adian requested a meeting in the study if Marcus and himself wanted to be filled in on the history of the past couple centuries. Standing silent in the hallway still, even after Marcus moved down the hall shortly after Adian. Wondering why Adian hadnt mentioned wanting to know more about his own history as he heard Marcus call out.
"Yes, I'll be there momentarily Marcus."
Pivoting on his heel as he walked down the hall towards the stairs which Marcus had decended moments earlier, as he made his way towards the study to begin their conversations about history of the years Marcus has been absent for and knowing full well if he joined this session, that he will most likely have to produce his own accounts as well.

*Adian gets to the study and sits behind his desk and pulls out a book from a secret department out of his desk. He looks at Marcus and Kozlak*
"Marcus all you want to know is in this book but only the leaders can open this book. So I'm going to take my time with this and ask kozlak to tell us about his past before I start."
*He slides the book to the edge of his desk and turns t look out his window.*
