Damien had moved to talk to the councilmen who worked in Valeria when Penny decided to slip away and go join Sylvia who was talking to an old woman who was a vampire, telling her own tale of how things were decades ago while comparing the current party where they were celebrating Senior Bingley's birthday. The elderly vampire wore a black gown with a diamond necklace that sparkled under the light every time she moved.
"How about you, dearie?" asked the old woman who appeared to have lived for centuries and not decades. She was a decently looking plump woman who appeared to be healthy, "I hear from Sylvia that this is your first time here in Valeria. How are you finding it so far?"
"I am quite enjoying it so far. It is a lovely place and my company has been great," Penelope answered the lady politely.
