 Though the event was just starting there was already an interesting array of vampires now all gathered around the central figure. She wondered if Isolt was used to such attention from so many people at once. The succubus had no doubt that the woman got attention; she was after all quite a lovely specimen one only needed eyes to see that, but this was a different kind of attention the young Supreme was getting. She watched the younger vampire's interactions with curiosity, but that didn't mean she wasn't aware of the other things going on around her.
The reaction from Anna once she was introduced to Isolt made her bite her lip to hold back a giggle. She didn't mean it in a disrespectful way, but she was always very amused by the way the child vampire's mind worked. A slender hand lifted and ran over that smooth blonde hair gently before resting upon her shoulder for a short moment once again. Bright blue eyes shifted up to Damon as he lifted her hand and kissed it in greeting, and her brow arched in pleasant surprise at the formality that was offered. A quick glance was given to Isolt, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
"It's a pleasure, Damon." Accented vocals gave out before her speech was directed back to Anna. "Yes, Little Dove, she is the Supreme. She is young, but from what I've learned of her so far, she's quite capable. I will be helping by offering my advice, but she will ultimately make the final decisions."
Her attention slid back to Isolt and her lips shifted into her signature smirk. She knew that Anna meant well, and she knew that Isolt wouldn't take the tone Anna spoke in personally. It was then another male joined their group dressed nicely in a tux, and her eyes followed him sizing him up quickly. She caught the look he gave the girl at her side and her eyes furrowed in concern as he brushed past them as if they weren't even there. For a moment she felt the anger stir within her, but then she saw the familiarity in Ceara's eyes as well and she knew who the male was. Ears caught the woman asking about taking her little Anna to Geneva and she felt the momma bear rise. Her fingers tightened for a brief second on Anna's shoulder as Damon spoke to her before the sound of a cane hitting the ground pulled her attention away.
Crishlyn's smile turned into one of amusement when she realized the vampire now sitting at the bar was Mort. A quiet laugh passed her lips and she gave the male a teasing wink at the scowl that was shot in her direction. She knew the man because he was Aidan's friend, she knew how the older vampire felt about her and Aidan together, and she loved to rub it in his face on the rare occasions she did find herself in his presence. A gesture was given to excuse herself from the group for a quick moment, and before moving towards Mort she gave Anna a sweet smile.
"Be good, I'll be right back, love."
With another nod at Isolt she moved towards the bar and slid beside Mort with a slightly cruel smile on her lips. She loved giving this old bag of bones a hard time, especially considering how uncomfortable he got around her. She sometimes wondered more about his and Aidan's relationship; she wondered what Mort felt for her reckless lover. She quickly ordered a glass of wine before her attention once again went to Mort.
"Finally decided to join society, Mort? I can tell you're a bit rusty, so let me offer advice. Say hello before you hobble through here, it's disrespectful to ignore others. I'll send Aidan your way if he decides to be responsible and show up."
The succubus giggled before grabbing her glass of wine that was offered to her. She lifted it in a mock toast before turning away from the male and moving back towards the livelier group. Ears caught the offer to get meals for the other vampires who would be joining him, and took a sip as she came to stop at Anna's side again.
"I agree. Our kind is more likely to listen to what you have to offer with a meal nearby."
