3 - Eat, drink, and merry still - It was suffice to say that Vere - as he calls himself these days - was not much of a social person. Certainly he shows up and mingles, but a close observer would notice that the mingling was only long enough to greet people before he drifts to some where he could just observe the rest of the room. Tonight was no exception. V appeared, greeted a few people and then took his drink and himself over to the fireplace, where he settles to watch the rest of the room.
He however was not silent in his observations; if anyone drifts closer to him they would no doubt hear some of his comments - What are they thinking, wearing those pearls with that collar? and Oh dear lord, and I thought I was so oblivious towards a lady's flirtations and other such lines. If anyone drifts closer, well they will be treated to a few lines -
"The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest, though I wonder when the wine here was new."
4 - Passages - It was inevitable that a passage would appear. Any old building in this deary land, especially ones made by a family as unique as this one would have hidden doorways and mysterious halls. Vere barely jumped as the wall moved soundlessly open next to him, giving the darkness beyond a critical look before snorting in wry amusement.
"'A vague and starry magic; Makes all things mysteries'... Shall we explore or should we forget what we've found?'
