Through strange and unforseen circumstances, Effigy is now in possession of an egg. More specifically an egg unlike anything he had ever seen before. He began to ponder is this a common occurance in this world. He would sit at his computer with the egg and attemot to match the egg with the description of any known species. After many dead ends, he came to the conclusion that he was going to need to find some kind of way to incubate it.
While he lacked the means for a proper incubation he had a surrogate made. In his garden of flowers he made a nest of warm plants that emulated the neccessary conditions for hatching an egg. In the meantime he would sit back and observe, maybe getting to find some kind of discovery by observing it.

The egg sat inside the garden Effigy had created, still and silent for some time. Suddenly, while he watched on, a strange frost would permeate the leaves and flowers that surrounded it, spreading outward from the eggs location, until it turned the plants closest to it to ice. Then, slowly, the egg would seem to almost bloom, separating into four equal parts and peeling away like flower petals. A small, eight inch tall woman sat crouched inside the center of the egg. Slowly, she stood to her full height, her hair - so blonde it was almost white - began to flutter in the wind. In one hand, she held an ancient looking Saber, with strange hieroglyphics of a long forgotten language inscribed down the blade. She opened her eyes suddenly and stared at him, a chill creeping through the air all around them both. Her gaze was ice blue, shocking to see, and lacked any sort of warmth. She wore an intricate Victorian gown and gloves that covered her from fingertip to shoulder. Tilting her head to one side, she stared at Effigy for a moment longer before speaking. "What is your name?" She asked, her tone calm and proper, her voice delicate.

Effigy would notice the frost and quickly begin taking notes. Whatever was inside of here was certainly an anomoly worth exploration! Then it... hatched? Opened would be accurate enough.
Then he took note of the small woman and the ice. This was certainly interesting to say the least!
When she spoke he would snap out of his stupor and speak.
"B... They call me Effigy." he would say, almost having slipped in his surprise.
"How about yourself?"

"I am Amy Sorel, Prince of Lunaria and Nagasaki, and Justicar of the Camarilla, member of the Ventrue Clan."
Her gaze slid down his form, from head to foot and back again. She sheathed her sword behind her back and stood there, with her unnerving perfect posture, as she met his gaze with ease. She seemed unbothered by the obvious difference in size, and she naturally emitted a pressure, so powerful it was almost a physical force, and her chill crept through the air.
Turning her head, she noticed for the first time what she was surrounded by. She reached out her fingers as if to caress the plant nearest to her, but stopped just shy of it.
"These. Are they yours?"

She seemed to be a of noble status. Many titles and her posture seemed to straighten up his own. His eyes never leaving the small woman nor his calm expression wavering even at the mention of the curious title of prince. He would smile as she reached to touch his flowers though, answering her question sweetly.
"They are, they a part of me Lady Sorel. Feel free to interact with them."

A sadness touched her ice blue eyes, though her expression never changed. She continued to gaze upon the flowers for a moment longer before finally turning to look up at him once more. The cold seemed to intensify as their eyes met, a chill no person could escape, and she gave a slight tilt of her chin in his direction.
"Effigy," she said, allowing a slight tilt to her head. "What is your driving goal?" Straight to the point, though there was no demand in her tone. She seemed almost curious, in fact.

Such a straightforward question. Fine, he would indulge her honestly for now. He would sigh and run a hand through his hair.
"I want to make a world I'm happy living in and become strong enough that nobody can take it away from me. You?"

She gave him a single nod. Strength... It seemed that was something she had in excess. She rested her fingers delicately on the hilt of her blade, continuing to stare at him for a moment before answering.
"I created a haven for my people, the outcasts and forgotten. I ruled and brought honor to my father's name. I found love again. My goals were all met, a long time ago. Now, I simply want to maintain."

"Seems like I have a lot to learn from you then." He would sigh.
"My difference is I have no people nor stakes beyond myself. I have yet to settle my roots in this strange world."

Amy glanced around for a moment, observing the new world around her, before she turned those ice blue eyes back to him.
"Sometimes, yourself is all you need. If it is mentorship you require, I am willing to assist."

"Mentorship sounds exceptional. What would you demand in return?" He would ask with a curious expression.

Amy blinked slowly as she stared at him.
"The understanding that, if this does not work for both parties, I am free from any contractual obligation." She said it simply, her blue eyes focused entirely on Effigy.

"Fair enough, I except your terms." He would say calmly.
"So, any clue how you ended up inside the egg?" He would ask, still curious about it.

"Energy is a powerful thing, and dying again didn't quite suite my desires."
Amy spoke quietly, her ice colored eyes pinned on Effigy as she took him, his mannerisms, and his behaviors in.

Effigy's brow would furrow. His eyes would give a gaze that showed both concern and curiosity. The cryptic statement appeared to really resonate with him despite not having words to describe his feelings.

Amy allowed him his quiet to think through whatever it was that he was feeling. Obviously, he was a private individual, and she wasn't somebody to intrude on that privacy. While she waited, she turned to look at the garden around them once more, fondness obvious even in her stoic expression.

Fondness would return to him as well as she stared at the flowers. He would make them appear more lush and colorful, resembling pastel water colors dripping on paper with its glowing energy.
"Do you have any flower you like in particular? My abilities can make them appear however you'd like."

"Orchids were always one of my favorites," Any said with a soft, almost smile on her face. "They take such time and love to grow."

Would you like some? I can grow some if it would make your stay in this apartment better. Soon I'll have a bigger place, but for now I can make this place managable.
He would say a bit anxious about the apartment. Clearly a perfectionist who didn't have time to prepare for company.

Amy paused for a moment to glance around, as if taking in the fact that she was in an apartment for the very first time. She made a soft noise, almost inaudible, and gazed at every thing she could see before finally turning to look at the man once more.
"It is... rather small, isn't it?" She said, amusement touching her tone. It was strange, but if one thought about it, the irony would be inherent.
