Aurelia smiled hesitantly and nodded to Nico's comment about her last name. She was about to explain a bit when Richie, a fellow member decided to interrupt their meeting. She arched an eyebrow as Bobby was verbally attacked by an elder clan member, who [i]clearly[/i] didn't appreciate Bobby's new promotion in the Family. She kept her face neutral, calmly petting Oto as the two men stared each other down until Richie finally gave up. Barely smart on his part, he was now on Bobby's radar and everyone at this table. [color=plum]"Richie was too upfront about his displeasure. Such vocal animosity to a promotion given by the Heads of the Family will surely earn relation from the Heads once word reaches them. They don't enjoy their decisions being questioned,"[/color] Aurelia quipped as Oto nuzzled happily into her hand. Auri watched Bobby place the charmed device on the table and the group was enveloped in a secrecy bubble. She listened to Bobby's explanation of their job for the Family and sighed. [color=plum]"Not all of them transmute into rats specifically, if I remember correctly. Some are scruffy dogs, cats, a couple of raccoons, and I think a pigeon. At least, those were the ones I had to interrogate a few years back. They were all individual interactions of lower members of the Blood Pack. I didn't realize they were a true group until the last few tried to outrun Seamus and confessed. Hard to run after their legs were stomped on. They should've stopped the first time I asked,"[/color] Aurelia explained as she smirked softly at the memory of scared individuals running away from her Graphorn. She turned her gaze to Bobby after a sip of the wine she conjured with a flick of her ivory-encrusted unicorn hair wand with a gold and marbled handle. [color=plum]"I doubt they will be happy with us arriving on their territory and being told to back down. We should see if there is more than just the speakeasy and booze-making. There is always more to behind the smokescreen,"[/color] Aurelia spoke with a polite, respectful tone as it seemed that the individuals that she scared information out didn't send the memo to their leaders or their leaders ignored the Serpeverdes' warning. She gave another small movement of her wand and produced a modest charcuterie board to munch on cheese and crackers.
