Caddie wandered into the kitchen at that point. She'd been making her way around the building in an attempt to figure out the layout of the place, but by the time she'd gotten halfway, she'd forgotten where she started and had just ended up wandering around aimlessly for a while.

"Um...hi...I got lost and some of the pictures on the walls were looking at me..so I came in here. "the altered vampire remarked vaguely, walking in and starting to examine kitchen implements with a sort of curiosity, taking one of the knives from the rack and looking it over...something that was a little unnerving.

Meanwhile Nero of The Sanguinarius had started the journey north. He sat in the back of one of the cars while the driver concentrated on the rather tricky navigation required to reach the Delegates. It didn't matter too much of course. He wanted to arrive with plenty of time to spare, but not too early. That would just look unprofessional. He glanced away form the blacked-out windows, and towards his fellow passenger.

"Looking forward to seeing your old friends the Delegates then?" he asked.

Oren glanced over at him, narrowing her dark grey eyes in contempt.
"Go fuck yourself Nero. Go fuck yourself with something wrapped in sandpaper." she growled.

Oren was not looking her usual intimidating self at that point. She was sat forwards in her seat, head forwards and arms wrapped around her ribs. Her hair could have done with a wash and a comb, though was still as thick and dark as ever, with thick strands hanging into her face. There were dark rings under her eyes, and a large, swollen cut snaked across her cheek from the corner of her mouth. Along with that she didn't have her usual trench coat and gloves, wearing some old clothes that clearly didn't belong to her. It made her look an awful lot less intimidating.

"You're so crude Oren, it's no wonder you're so unpopular. You'd think you'd be more gracious considering the favour I'm doing you here." Nero stated, rolling his eyes.
"You'd be dead by now if it weren't for my benevolent actions after all. Bear that in mind before you open your mouth. Last thing I need is you making me regret my decision, isn't it?"
