Oh, he is definitely going to have that drink with Hikaru.
"Yes, Ella." Have a pleasant smile your way as before he reaches for that nifty little intercom on his desk that will let his people know to bring up a meal for the girl. "Barbara is as close as I will ever get to having a daughter," Elaine rest the good souls of her mortal parents. "And you, my dear, by virtue of the Embrace, are hers."
The better that he break this down to what is important and essential. Vampire politics can come later, but for now, Ella needs some semblance of 'normalcy', even if the word itself is something he sometimes found terribly trite.
"So, yes, Ella Ryan. You are family now." He's going to tweak your cute little nose like a grandfather might his teenaged grandchild. "Unless, of course, this makes you uncomfortable."
That is something that just won't do. It has to be her choice, after all, just as accepting Barbara's offer was.
