In some Camarilla elysiums, a Victorian era tradition is still in use. Personal accessories and other decorations are used to convey emotional meaning and messages to those sophisticated enough to understand such things.
History
Originating in the Parisian salons of the renaissance, the High Clans of the era developed a way to subtly communicate certain messages for situations where using direct language was deemed too crass. It became a sign of social status to possess the ability to understand and convey meaning with as high a degree of subtlety as possible. Led by the efforts of the cosmopolitan Toreador, other European courts gradually adopted what came to be known as ''l'art de discours des fleurs.'' Nowadays, younger Kindred just call it Weaving, and leave it at that (as in weaving a funeral wreath).
Indeed, while only one particular way to express subtle meaning, wearing a flower on one's person is still deemed the quintessential way to make a statement about one's self in modern nights.
An array of expression
There are many options for Kindred who wish to express themselves without being completely explicit about their intent. As mentioned, flowers are a classic. It uses a shadow of Victorian era flower language. The Kindred have a wide range of options to choose from, depending on the assortment of their local florist. The colors and style of their dress is another common manner of expression.
Some Kindred may deem this pretentious and not wish to engage. Depending on the prevalence of this tradition, that can be completely fine, or a severe faux pas. If most of the elders of the domain engage in the Weaving, not participating may well be the equivalent of wearing a jacket that has ''fuck you'' on the back, in big bold letters.
