Amadeo smirked, finding her actions humorous indeed and a smirk laced his lips for a moments time. He spotted first Knuvxy and shortly after her Tejina. Ahh, so it was all working out. He had no doubts they'd show. They were Giovanni after-all. His presence was magnetic as he made his way over to the closest female, Knuvxy, quickly allowing his paw to find her own and kissing it carefully. Yet slipping her a note in the same fashion he'd managed to do with Nalleme. His eyes raising before he himself did, he spoke casually. "Thank you for making it Knuvxy. I pray you'll enjoy the remainder of the evening." And he slipped away, off to finish contacting the last of the chosen family. It was a delicate situation, he had to go through an embrace with each one of them. By the end he'd be exhausted no doubt.
Finding his way to Tejina he looked her over carefully, only moving in to greet her after Nalleme had. The Giovanni's were such a diverse family yet all so hauntingly similar in many ways that often creeped outsiders out. Taking her paw, which was becoming a monotonous act, kissing it and slipping her a note as well he nodded his head, swiftly side-glancing the other female. "Enjoy your evening Tejina, make sure you rest well." Turning he departed from her to allow her time to mingle. Oh how he loathed being kind to women, he was old school, he had a solid way to think about the opposite sex. They were good for certain things if those. Then again they were useful in the clan and with Michelina being the only other active clan member they were bound to have a few other females embraced. Good. Let her handle the females training, he would highly doubt if he found any of them worth his time. Yet such things were silenced, his face a perfect mask of serenity. Ah, and it seemed the Manor had even more Giovanni, yet these were dearly departed Giovanni. He could even see his great, great uncle on the stairwell. A clever man, a man worth admiring. Nodding to the ghost and smirking softly he continued on.

((Sorry, short 'cause I'm tired. @.@))
SHe blinked, just bairly surprised before nodding her head gently, her face not as smiling, but still a soft smile upon them as he secretly passed the note to her hand whilst placing a kiss upon it. She didn't know how he knew her by looks, she certainly hadn't met him, she jsut pushed it form her mind though, holding the note firmly in her paw.

Cry Wolf headed into the dining room, not surprised by the lush interior. She took a seat at a table, and crossed her legs delicately at her ankles. She looked around the dining room at the other kats who were promptly seating themselves, and took the chance to survey the fine room. She took a deep breath, as if she could smell and almost taste the richness of the Giovanni Manor. By this time, shed made herself quite at home in the manor, as she was accustomed to living well herself. Then again, most Giovannis were.
She looked around for someone to serve her a glass of wine. She took the glass, and inhaled the scent of the deep red wine. She loved good wine- she wasnt a heavy drinker, and she only drank and ate the finest of foods. She took a small sip of the wine, and licked her already red lips quickly. She put the goblet down quietly, and crossed her hands across her lap as she watched the other kats. Shed wait until some others sat at her table to socialize; she wouldnt search out other kats unless she knew they were highly regarded in the Giovanni family, or if she would get something she wanted or needed out of it.

Amadeo watched as Cry Wolf moved into the Dining room, but he also noted she was without instruction. No matter. His silent strides remained unheard as he entered the noisy dining room, slipping to the female and coming up behind her as he leaned over her shoulder, as though to whisper something into her ear. A few looked up and over at the two, whispering, wondering if it was time for that surprise he'd promised earlier. But they soon quieted and went back to their meal as nothing exciting presented itself. "It is a pleasure to have you in our company this evening Cry Wolf. Enjoy your meal." And with that said he'd slipped a note under her napkin. Such a quick movement that only she would notice. He'd had practice in such matters of deceit. It wasn't uncommon.
Moving to the head of the table he lifted his wine glass and tapped a fork lightly against its side. "Welcome my fellow Giovanni. It seems that I will be heading such formalities quite often through-out our little event, so please, try not to tire of me too quickly." A ripple of laughter echoed through the luxurious dining room, the lush red hues accenting the art and atmosphere in general brilliantly. Of course there was much Italian influence in everything within the household. After-all, their roots were soaked in Italian heritage and blood. "Savor your meal and rest well this evening, for there is much on the menu for tomorrow evening. What we Giovanni do, we do well and our gathering will be no exception." He smiled as the majority nodded their heads in agreement, especially the older generation. "I'll bore you no longer, Buon Appetito." Raising his glass he pretended to drink. In which the rest returned the gesture.

"The pleasure is all mine," she said loud enough for him to hear as he walked away. She read the note quickly before others would have the chance to see her do so. She nodded slightly at what the note said, then hid it from view.
She looked up at Amadeo with admiration, respect, and a hint of lust. She was a female, after all, and she wasnt blind. She wasnt one to blatantly flirt, though, and most definately didnt "put out." She didnt mind males looking at her- they couldnt help it, and she didnt blame them. But touch her without permission, and she wouldnt be the one left bleeding. She raised her glass a bit as he finished his speech, and took another sip of the wine. A worthy leader, she thought to herself. This was just the first day of the event, it totaled three days. She smiled softly at the passing kats, and those whos eyes met with hers briefly. She wasnt out to make friends, she was out to make impressions on the highly regarded members of the family and be noticed. After all, it never hurt to have friends in high places. It could prove quite handy. Her feminine ego also loved receiving attention.

Feeling her elder brush up against her shoulder, Michelina sighed and nodded to Cry Wolf and then headed out of the room to get her mask on. She had spotted the new arrivals and went to go greet them. Lack of time there was... Glad to see that Amadeo was speaking with Cry Wolf, she approached Nalleme. "Hello there. I don't believe we've met yet." The teenager held out her paw rather giddily, "My name is Michelina Giovanni." She smiled sweetly, almost too sweetly. "Who might you be?"
It wasn't surprising to not know other members of the family especially in the Giovanni since it was so vast.

Tejina had made ehr way into the dinning room, jsut as the male that had knew her name started his speech. She took a seat, and ended up seated next to Cry Wolf, she only meet one femme, and didn't even know her name. She sighed, crossing her legs under the table as she smoothed her fur gently. Her tail curled elegantly about her waist as she sat straight in her chair.
As she listened to the male standing there, he hadn't much to say, just a welcoming, and that was about it. She looked about, inspecting the other kats about, there were a few, and she guessed they were all Giovannis. She slouched for about a millisecond before taking a deep breath and sitting straight, her hand resting folded in her lap.

Turning her head to see the lovely lady next to her, Nalleme smiled brightly. That's one thing she never had to worry about was her smile. It was just naturally lovely. Clasping Michelina's hand, she introduced herself. "Nalleme Giovanni, a pleasure to meet you. It seems we're all from separate branches of the family tree, if I've not met a good deal of the ladies here tonight."

Cry Wolf gave Tejina a somewhat forced smile, though it still looked rather friendly and inviting. She could be quite friendly when she wanted to, but chose to simply mingle, not get too deep with the others. "Hello," she said to the maj as she toyed with her glass of wine. "I dont believe we met yet," she said, and followed with a small, softer smile, this one more sincere. She did love to meet new people, as it meant more people knew who she was. "I assume youre part of the Giovanni family as well?" She would most likely be, since she was at the event in the manor. "My name is Cry Wolf."
With the other female seated next to her, she was in a rather odd position physically to greet her. Instead, she chose to simply greet her with conversation rather than a handshake or something of the sort. She looked away for a second as she waited for a reply, admiring her reflection in her goblet though rather distorted. She looked back at Tejina, locking gazes with her, a small smile still on her face.

She didn't relise she was speaking to her, nut when she turned a bit, she noticed the meanki femme was lookinh at her and she smiled back. SHe listened to her words, sliding a finger along the ede of ehr wine glass, letting it create a melodic sound. Her smile was soft, very soft, gentle, and welcoming, she had forced it thought, she had practiced, she didn't like being about people much, she prefurred bathing in her riched to herself, with her magic and all.
"Yes, yes I am. My name is Tejina Giovanni, it is nice to meet you Cry Wolf." SHe nodded her head as a friendly gesture. Shifting ehr glance as the other femme did to her glass, if she had hair, she would definatly adjust it at this point, there were a lot of people about, but her family had insisted she come.

"A pleasure," she said, sounding almost friendly. She gave the maj a soft smile once more, followed by a slight sigh. Cry Wolf could be quite civil, for an ebil kat. This was most likely due to being raised in riches and wealth. She, being part of the Giovanni family, had learned to hold her tongue at a young age or be looked down upon by her elders in a most unpleasing way. Being accustomed to wealth, and raised in a somewhat old-fashioned family (since the Giovanni family was quite old indeed), she loved to spend and buy with her money, gain more wealth with almost any means necessary, and surround herself with her riches in her home. She didnt like to concern herself with other peoples problems, unless she knew they would effect her. Let the men deal with it; they were the head of the family, and they enjoyed such things. She did, on the other hand, love family get togethers. A true Giovanni in nature, she loved to socialize with the family, and meet new members that she hadnt known of before. Giovanni gatherings were also quite.. fancy, to say in the least.

The Giovanni Elder smirked at the chosen batch, they'd all arrived, late or no. It was reassuring to know they clan would not fail. Taking a moment to watch the Dining hall he slipped away, it was time to retire to his chambers for the remainder of the evening. He had a lot to do in a short amount of time and after dinner things would settled down for the evening. The handsome male passed the many tables without attracting too much attention. Most likely Michelina would take care of the 'tucking everyone in' portion. It wasn't as though the family needed to be told to go to bed, but it helped things progress when you piped up and said the event was ending for the night.
His dark, intoxicating eyes scanned the Foyer as he passed through its luxurious expanse. His spine straight as he walked, posture carefully monitored, expression vague. This event was going quite well and the family seemed to be content in knowing it was just to 'catch up'. Of course you did have those who sniffed out the darker, underlying second meaning with the ease of a blood-hound. One had to be careful of those. He would need to sate his hunger before he embraced anyone. Which he would do tomorrow night. Opening the door to his chambers it shut with a soft click. His door was often open to those who needed him, then again most didn't approach him unless they had a very good reason.

Once again, just a little bit shorter and more petite then the adult meanki, but Michelina didn't notice or care. She had the mentality of an adult and even beyond that. "Yes it's quite the pleasure." Michelina smiled once more; for being so old, she had lost her taste for... beauty. Though maybe in her time, Michelina might have been considered the belle of the ball, but no longer. Just a simple looking teenager was all she was now... To the mortals at least.
"Yes, it's been awhile since we've had an event such as this. It's nice seeing familiar and new faces. How have you been lately? Anything new happen?"

Sometime during dinner another, previously absent member of the family slipped into the dining room, most likely unnoticed save for those of sharp eyes - it was a big event, after all, and Shyam was very good at being stealthy. Something wasn't sitting right with him about this event, something he couldn't quite put his finger on, though there were a few ideas drifting in his mind. Amadeo wasn't the type for innocent parties. Or maybe that was why he'd left halfway through - out of boredom. You never knew.
Right. 'Your mind must be going, Shyam.' To even entertain the idea this was normal...like he didn't have to be on his guard! THAT would be the day. He stopped by Tejina and Cry Wolf's table after making sure Michelina (or anyone familiar, for that matter) wasn't nearby it, and nodded courteously to them both. "Mind if I join you?"

"Please, sit." She gave Shyam a charming smile, her red lips curved. Finally, someone she could talk to.. She had always prefered talking to males over females. Her ego was quite big, and the attention helped it. She held her hand out toward the male, the palm down instead of to the side as it would be for a handshake. "Cry Wolf Giovanni," she said, introducing herself. "And may i have your name?" She spoke with a slight purring note in her voice, a true seductress. Most meankis were.. Using their dazzling beauty to charm others into doing their bidding.
She turned to Tejina, and raised her eyebrows.. Almost as if they were friends. She turned back to the male, a small smile remaining on her face as she toyed with a strand of her hair.
