Serena had hated that she had felt at odds that Will and Tessa were on a mission together, the De Quincey mission, was what Serena had been informed of. She had spent her day with Charlotte, speaking about her family and the structure of the main houses of Venus, the main houses who take part in the Court of Aphrodite.
"All houses are important to the Court, but there's the main five houses, each house have symbols that relate to Aphrodite, House Venrosa have the rose as our symbol, House Sapphire the mirror, House Laurent the dove, House Salvatore the pomegranate and House Raye has the golden apple," Serena said.
"And all houses have their own quote, my houses quote being as beautiful as dangerous," she dryly laughed. "How ironic that quote is since I'm the only one from House Venrosa left."
Benign, Charlotte had sipped her tea, curious of the system in Venus. "What are the quotes for the other houses?" Charlotte asked and slightly content that she had been able to speak about her connection to Venus, Serena had flatly smiled.
"House Sapphire, as fire we bring ashes, House Laurent, those who have the gold, House Salvatore, decades we came, decades we stay and House Raye, we hunt those who hunt us."
Impressed, Charlotte raised both of her eyebrows. "A powerful system," she muttered. "A whole 'nother verse, that most of the Shadowhunters of the Mortal Realm don't know about. It's a peculiar feeling of how other-worldly beings know of our existence, but we barely know of theirs."
"Other beings," Serena hummed, "Shadow Hunters are in Venus as well, so it should give you a better feeling." Though, you were sure Charlotte had known that, since her connection with Lady Evaline, Serena had also wondered what Evaline had done for Charlotte, to have the Branwell woman persistent to having her stay.
"Did you find a lead?" Charlotte then asked and while she fiddled with the small arm of the tea cup she had held, Serena looked up at the brown-haired woman.
