A Second Pitch
Tyana Delcrost was not an average woman.
She carried herself as an elite and did not hide her contempt and disdain towards the Larkinson Clan who she regarded as inferior in every way.
The Larkinsons started out as an offshoot of a third-class clan. While Ves had led his clan on an amazing upwards trajectory, there was no doubt that he started out from a much lower starting point than most of the people he interacted with today.
While Ves explicitly absorbed the Purnesse Family so that he could put a more sophisticated facade on his clan, his own speech, body language and other behavioral patterns were clearly not up to standard.
People like Gloriana and Calabast were much more adept at interacting with people at this level!
Though he was aware of his own deficiencies, Ves never thought about undergoing rigorous training. He was comfortable in his own skin and did not want to turn his outside persona into a false image of himself.
