Unfortunately, Cyrus had little else to say on the matter.

 However, it did not take more than another minute for an exotic looking woman (whom you readily identified as Kindred) to approach.

Nefertiti walked into the Elysium in a very nice dress but there was no mask upon her face, she was wise enough to remove it once she left the ball.  As she entered her eyes looked around to see who was all there and she needed to find someone who might happen to have one of those things called a phone.

"Greetings.

Turning to face the exotic looking woman, Hrafen glanced her up and down, and took in her graceful stature. Hearing her greeting, he dipped his head slightly, his eyes not quite leaving hers, and spoke calmly, not wanting attention,

"Greetings to you as well." he said neutrally, allowing her to indicate the direction she'd like for this to go before playing his hand too much. Half of him thought she might have overheard his conversation, and was guarded... the other half was mildly curious.

Nefertiti smiled to the man speaking "I was hoping that one of you might help me out in a minor problem that I have.  I seemed to have lost my phone and wondering if one of you might allow me to use yours. she said as she took notice of the one who couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was a walking beauty and it seemed that was a curse.

Striking Looks ****

Relaxing a bit at the question, which seemed innocent enough, Hrafen couldn't help but pat his pockets down in a helpless gesture of inability,

"My apologies... I do not have a phone for use." he said, slightly awkwardly, as if he wasn't too used to speaking about phones very comfortably. In reality, he was simply 'playing the role' he'd been dealt, but he was still curious as to why the beautiful woman in front of him was simply asking for assistance, instead of demanding it from others. Hrafen himself had little interest in side distractions at the moment, given the status of the city, but rarely did things happen here that were pure coincidence...

 Cyrus looked at Nefertiti and blinked a couple times. "You. You're alive! We all heard you were kidnapped along with Milo. How did you escape?!"

 Despite the question, Cyrus was already digging around in is pocket for a phone. He immediately handed it to her once he'd produced it.

Nefertiti looked at the one offering his phone "Why would I not be. So is Milo but I must contact someone quickly.  she paused as she can tell that almost everyone in here may know now who she is.  IF, they didn't already.

"Where is Victor at this moment? she asked in a calmly tone, trying not to get more eyes looking their way.

Once given the phone she pulls out a piece of paper and start pressing buttons.

When it starts ringing she waits for Michael to respond.

"Michael, where are you?

Hearing that the woman before him was somebody well known in the area, Hrafen was careful not to react physically, but he paid much more attention now. Hearing that she had possibly recently spent time around Reginald was very intriguing, as it brought to light what he'd just spoken about with Cyrus... just talk to him.

Milo...

He would have to chalk these names up to memory.

Michael...

These were names that could prove important in the future.

Shifting ever-so-slightly on his feet, Hrafen listened patiently, allowing things to play out. He assumed the woman would return to the conversation when her phone-call was finished.

PM to Nef

She smiled when a voice replied

Micheal I have been able to get away for some time.  Where are you and is Milo safe?

PM to Nef

Nefertiti thought it was so and it was good maybe one might be able to correct Milo’s condition and if not then he will surely be out while the battle with both Sects arise.

“Have the Archmage open a portal for me to join. She said

“I don’t know how long I can remain unnoticed

PM for Nef

The smile quickly left her face after hearing stuff on the phone
“Yes they are very quick to blame others for their errors.

Victor and Milo was fully aware of my interactions with him and was glad that I was able to inform them of his presence. Maybe those that are so quickly to case judgement might want to speak with Victor.

A neutral place is accepted. She paused “When you as checking for his marks on Milo did you happen to discover if he placed any upon me?

Nefertiti placed the phone down by her side

PM for Nef

She placed the phone quickly back to her ear “That would be most grateful.

Her eyes gazed up to the one who gave her his phone as if she was waiting for his answer as well.

Raising an eyebrow at the word 'dragon', Hank kept his cool, and listened a moment more.

Eventually, he offered,

"Is Milo alright? I've heard nothing good, but then again: here you are standing safe and sound before us." he said, waving his hands gently to the sides with a soft smile, opening the door for her to talk, if she wished.

Nefertiti looked around and she saw the one speaking to her asking about her adopted Sire “Yes I will be bring someone with me she calmly said to Michael.

Then she looked to him. “What is your name?

You will assist me and I will inform Victor of your deeds.

Damn...

He hadn't wanted to be involved, but now if he didn't 'jump' at the chance to please Victor, he would look even more suspicious than before.

Nodding curtly, he responded with the 'americanized' version of his name,

"Hank."

With that, he kept himself quiet, as most Kindred involved in the Camarilla didn't want to hear from another of their kind. She seemed comfortable with him driving her somewhere or something simple/similar.

Hank she repeated the name.

"I'm Nefertiti, if you didn't already know.  And Milo's body is safe but I don't know more about his mind.  You will be accompanying me to meet those that are members of a Cabal I'm she let out a sigh part of.

She looked him up and down again and hope that he was able to hold his own if something was to happen.  Her eyes looked him directly into his.

"Is there anything you need to ask before a portal opens and takes us somewhere?

Standing stoically, Hrafen maintained his discipline, and tried to look far less capable than he was. His physique was working against him, but as all Kindred knew: appearances could be deceiving.

"No." he said in response to her question, nodding his head at her name, "Nefertiti. Is that how you wish to be addressed?" he knew better than assuming.

With that, he stood, prepared as he was, to transport elsewhere.

Nefertiti looked at him with a smile "Yes. There was a time when I was called Queen Nefertiti but I believe those days have past. her words were softly said as her mind seemed to wonder off in a past life.

Then a mist of smoke came to surround herself and Hank.

Nodding, Hrafen understood clearly. Nothing much more needed to be said, so he awaited the effects.
