He took a moment to turn that over. He'd never thought of the possibility, having a legacy like that. Henry having a legacy like that. Over the long centuries, he'd just lost track of the individuals, drifting away into the world of the night.

The place, however, still held some lingering fondness. That bit of forest that still survived to this night.

"Just as you could be his." He remembered the possibility. Yurik had always sworn that his child had died with his mortal wife, but there was always a possibility that he could have been somehow wrong. Or something else. They spoke of so many things, shared so much and yet there was probably plenty left unsaid.

"We don't reveal ourselves to humans." He countered as he put a hand to the ground to get to his feet. "It's become one of our strictest laws. We've seen what happens when they grow too keen of our nature." A monster that noone believed in and noone knew to look for was a far more succesful predator.

He dusted snow off his cloak, picking his way into the ruined and burned out building. As if emphasizing that previous point: what happens when humans grew too keen.

"Providence." He repeated, a note of incredulity in his tone. The notion of divine Providence wasnt unfamiliar to him, but the idea of it struck him sharply. He paused again, looking down at his feet.

"I do believe in it." He answered, warily. "Though what god would put their hand to me, I could not say.I am far from good, and by no means righteous."

He turned his head over his shoulder to look at Yorick quietly.

"Either way. It'd be nice to read his letters."

This is the night of the hunter
Deliriously pull the trigger, fire
You are my escape artist

It wasn’t often that Faith’s laughter was full of joy. It must have been the way Clara detailed the act of violence in such a way that it was both amusing and felt like it was the highest form of respect they could have between each other. It carried a little weight now, only in the realm of understanding that it meant they were ‘okay’ for the moment. In these circles, it was about as positive of a start one could have.

The joy was brief when that old familiar name was brought up. She hadn’t heard it in some time, hadn’t used it in longer. It certainly wasn’t the name she had introduced herself as but she wasn’t too concerned about it raising any suspicion. Though it was going to be an interesting conversation if Abel ever thought to bring it up later, and he would, he couldn’t resist poking at a mystery. Clara wasn’t the only one playing a little game of ‘pretend strangers’.

“Oh it’s been a while since I’ve heard that name. Been going by Faith these days. We can definitely meet up later, my place isn’t anything to look at but my partner has a really nice establishment. It’s no saloon but he’s welcoming to friendly visi….”

Nothing more needed to be said once that finger came up and Faith’s body turned slightly to get a visual of what Clara was so focused on. There was plenty of information dropped in what little was said, enough to say she wasn’t alone and was generally well settled. Nothing threatening or posturing at all.

A small wave was given to Abel before he sauntered off.The Brujah’s focus was turning back to the main conversation, she had wanted to listen along but there was a distraction. As far as she could gather she was thinking there was going to be a friendly little showdown between Gangrel. That sounded interesting and fascinating all at once. A good fair fight was a worthy spectacle but this was a little more on the feral end of things. A good way to place some friendly wagers, get to know some of the others. Opportunities a plenty, or an opportunity for a blood bath.

Abel confirms Sergine's assumptions, for all its history, for all that it could claim to be in the end the Toreador's mixture was blood, and for their part this seemed to settle something in the Brujah's mind. A simple shake of their head is offered as Sergine met Abel's gaze.

"Perhaps, my vices however, do not include alcohol." These words were rather final, said as if the Toreador was more likely to get the Brujah to greet the sun with open arms rather than drink booze, even if that booze was tolerable to their kind.

Instead, she shifts his attention towards the inquiry about a place to hold the bout the two gangrel were clearly angling to set up, a situation that Sergine themselves had little interest in quashing. She tilts her head a tiny bit, as if considering the possibility before shaking their head.

"To busy, to small. I know a yard down by the harbour that would be perfect."

While Calloway deliberated, he let his attention broaden focus, taking in the little interactions. The easy threads of familiarity among a pack of recent arrivals, carried in from places elsewhere. Not enough nights gone to sour or re-sour anything. Always time for that some other night.


"What about that little park out in Ybor City where we met?" He picked up the question about location, his attention turning to Sergine. "Is that still your coterie's territory?" It sounded to him that it was going that way the way Sergine described it at their meeting, at least. There was a politeness behind the question; asking for the by-their-leave before he went out to get punched and bring a train of curious witnesses.


There were rules to these things, there was an etiquette.
