(It's a silent night, Vincent has invited the Aristocats of Evil to his manor for a discussion. His Wife is in the Kitchen, Ciel and Astre are in the Bedroom of theirs, probably playing.)

Vincent rose to greet the newcomers with a charming smile and outstretched hands.

"Gentlemen, so glad you could make it. Please, come in and make yourselves comfortable." He gestured to the sitting room where another set of chairs had been arranged facing the fire.

As the four men sat, Vincent poured them each a glass of wine. As always, he speaks smoothly, but with a calculating purpose.

"I appreciate you all taking the time to meet with me this evening. As we all know, tensions have been high of late between certain parties."

His eyes flickered pointedly between two of the guests, who glowered at each other but said nothing.

The Meeting goes on smoothly as usual, no disturbances, but there is obvious tension between two Parts which begin to cause a Scene.

"My my, please gentlemen. Don't make a fuss under my roof, I do not want my Children and Wife to be worried."
