Julian sighed, taking a moment to look wearily at Cash. "Is the 11:00 appointment here?"

"Yeah," Cash nodded as he moved to stand. "Yeah I'll go down and get her. She's been waiting for about 30 minutes now. I told her she shouldn't have come so early, but she didn't seem to mind...or care."

As Julian found himself alone, he took a moment to rub his eyes before gathering his thoughts. So much seemed to be happening lately it made his head spin. Sasha was a constant worry; her antics had been leaning more Brujah as of late, something that deeply troubled Julian. Regardless of her clan, she was still his family. She was the only member of his family that knew him completely, a fact he still had not grown comfortable with. The moment of reflection was cut short as Cash and an unfamiliar face entered the study.

There was something unique about this woman that now stood beside Cash, Julian noted to himself. She was about as tall as Cash was, maybe having an extra inch or so on him. Her build was willowy but carefully camouflaged by a loose fitting black dress that ended just above her knees. Her eyes were a pale blue, the color of a washed out winter sky. Jet-black hair flowed straight over her shoulders to hang at the middle of her back. Still, for all the normalcy in this woman's appearance, something was.....

"Julian?" Cash interrupted, eyebrows quirking up in concern.

"Pardon me." Julian made a quick move to cover his lack of focus, surely not a good first impression for the prince of a city as prized as San Francisco to make. With the grace of a dancer, Julian stood from behind his desk and moved towards Cash and the stranger. "For a moment, my thoughts were elsewhere."

A slight, still concerned nod came from Cash. "Julian, this is Ms. Kat Stone. She has requested asylum in your land." Cash moved to Kat's side, then behind her. It provided him the opportunity to either leave or to defend, whatever action was more warranted.

Kat continued to remain standing silently, eyes not leaving Julian as he stood across from her. "I must remember my manners..." she repeated in her head several times as she awaited the Prince's first words.

Julian offered Cash a nod to leave. "Thank you Cash, that will be all for now. Please see that the car is ready to leave in 30 minutes."

Without question, Cash offered a curt nod before turning to leave, shutting the door behind him.
