Introductions and Meeting:

Kuchiki Byakuya was stepping into an arena that he was well versed in - that of politics. He'd put on a business suit, preferring that to his shinigami clothes, lacking a haori. For all they were cheap pieces of cloth, they did denote authority - though he doubted anyone here would see it as such.

Cold grey eyes flicked around the meeting room taking in every single detail. He could tell that Kenpachi was somewhere in the house, as was Kusajishi-fukutaichou. No doubt, they would notice he was there was well. He'd put a cake into his pocket, just in case. It would send Kusajishi away at least.

"Xavier-sensei." He inclined his head.

"Kuchiki-taichou." Erik returned his greeting with somewhat deeper brow of his head. He was quite proud of the meeting room, with it's subdued tones on the walls and warm wood on the floor. The table was a heavy wooden table, salvaged and refinished beautifully, and the chairs were comfortable.

He hoped to have it be a bit more welcoming and inviting in time but for the funds and time they had? He was proud.

The meeting room was functional. He didn't need anything ostentatious and actually preferred a slightly austere meeting place. It focused the mind and the conversation.

"How many are we waiting for?" He asked, his eyebrow ticking upwards.

Re: Lunch:

[paysdelamour]

Francis had been working very hard at his craft, as could be evidenced by the many delicious smells wafting from the kitchen area. He had been ordering around the few morons dinner guests that had stayed in the kitchen to help in the true French fashion; everyone staying in the kitchen to help had been given a specific job, and Francis had been watching closely.

However, for the last minute preparations, Francis had pushed everyone out of the kitchen. After a few more minutes, he pulls out the first appetizer: a rich and sumptuous lobster bisque made with real Cognac, and heavy cream and Brie. After everyone's finished their bisque (and whatever seconds they want), Francis brings in a light salad to cleanse the palate. Finally, he brings in the entrée: sirloin croquettes, which are sirloin medalions lightly cooked in clarified butter and breaded. For dessert, he's made a berry cobbler, with blueberries and raspberries.

The rest of the Cognac is available to drink, as well as anything the new HoA has to offer.
