Adelaide, despite being utterly stunned that the Vampire Lord doesn't have his own private chef,  says nothing, but retains her subtly extroverted demeanor. Secretly, she vows to have an eclair when she gets home.

"No, dear, only a modicum of diplomatic sparring of the sort that, perhaps, your Lord is less used to." She gives Armata a playful glance.

"Or should I ask, what of you, that you think you might have missed?  Your Lord has very generously told me of your importance around the Covenant.  In my short time here it is plain to see why.  Now, as much as I adore games, I would be remiss if I made a guessing game out of your own affairs, Miss Altovadus.  Have a seat, dear, and tell me how things have been of late, while we await dinner." She gestures towards a nearby seat with an unfurling of her slender hand.
