Bones
The Obrimos was in a mood tonight. They looked like their femme form, bbut with no curves, and their hair was up like a caesar cut.
They were wearing a black sports bra and running shorts. Currently they were hanging from an exercise bar by their knees, and doing sit-ups vertically. Those with keen eyes would note the high level of security cameras and similar features along the building's exterior and landscaping.
Titania
Titania circles above in their Snow Owl form solid shadows trailing high in the sky. A tilt of her head in that weird owl way. Before she lands a few Miles away and starts to make the treck towards the building. When she gets to the building she shouts up to Bones.
"Good evening my beating heart?"
Evan
Titania isn't the only one flying through the night tonight. She is, however, the one who happens to be doing so Realside.
Bones gets treated to a particularly curious sight.
A dragon.
A full-blown, thirty-foot long fucking dragon cruising through the city skyline in Twilight. Red scales, flapping wings, four legs, thick tail, the whole shebang, just-
Just zoomin'.
Vincent Drake
Vincent decided to do some freerunning to get his mind of his recent worries, Alice said Val didn't come back from a night of drinking, if he finds her strung out he'll kill. . .well anybody. Avery's better but who knows what will happen in the future, he's dealing with some owl demon shit and-fuck, Twilight made being a vampire look like babe central instead it's shit station-he stopped on a roof, his beast stirring. . .someone was near, a vampire. . .
"Fuck."
Bones
"Come on up, Titania," they said simply. There seemed to be no possible way that they knew what was happening down below, and yet they seemd to know.
And then there was a fucking dragon. She dropped and pulled a pair of throwing knives from the bag on the rooftop, before pointing them up at the Dragon.
A spiritual monster of that size would be trouble. This is not the area where Dragon spirits should be... and they would be ready!
Titania
Titania take the time to climb up the outside of the building. Trying to look vaguely human. Sure. She tries.
When she gets there Bones sees a smile on her face. The same outfit she was wearing yesterday but cleaned up. She wanders over and gives Bones a peck on the cheeks as she takes a seat.
Then there is a Dragon and she closes her eyes getting ready for a fight.
Bones
In a voice that echoes in all three forms of twilight, and the physical realm, "Hail, Spirit of Dragons, What brings you here?" It wasn't magically loud, but just a shout.
Vincent Drake
"Bones.. .Titania?" he says confused, "Um. . .fancy seeing you tonight?" he asks unsure what the two are doing here, "Oh fuck do you live here?"
Evan
The dragon VISIBLY jolts and misses a wingbeat, snapping its wings harder to compensate as it CLEARLY snaps, "Fuckin' WHAT. Who the motherfuckin' FUCK is yellin' at- YO, DUDE, SHUDDUP, I'm bein' DISCRETE an' shit, DAMN," in perfect inner city African American Vernacular English.
Bones
"Yes, I do, Vincent... you are welcome to come onto my roof.... right now, we are watching a Fucking Dragon Spirit flying around above the house. Dragon Spirits are usually at places like LIbraries or Places that Aren't. You might think you're discrete, Mister Dragon, but to those that see Twilight, you are hard to miss."
Vincent Drake
"What dragon?" he asks confused
Titania
Her expression turns harder as Vinny arrives taking a few steps away from Bones.
"Is this common around your home Bones. I thought we were to enjoy a queit night of study not be fighting. That." As she points at said Dragon.
A nod to Vinny "There is a Dragon in Twilight, and they appear to be rather sassy."
Evan
"Nigga, if a motherfucker can see into Twilight," snaps the dragon as it lands a building away, curling around the rooftop as it spats with Tommy, "I ain't CONCERNED with that particular motherfucker! I am enjoyin' a god-damn wing-over the only way a nigga CAN in this city without scarin' the motherfuckin' straights. I don't need nobody "spirit of dragons"-ing this and "house of Pendragon"-ing that, it defeats the got-dayum PURPOSE. So you and your what the fuck, she can see me too? Jeezus fuck'n WEPT." The dragon flops on its back, clearly done with this nonsense.
Bones
"I forgive you for the language, sir," they turned and kissed Titania softly this time, "Nice to see you, dear..." and then offered Vincent a hug, "Glad to see you! Since you asked me on a date, I haven't heard from you. THen I hear you got blood all over Titania's yard.... you doing okay? Do you need a drink? And oh, don't worry about these cameras..." they waved their hand and suddenly the cameras were off.
Vincent Drake
he accepts the hug, seeing Bones kissed Titania. . .he'll think on where that mental image leds for later, "Yeah. . .um I would like a drink would be nice but we both know what I drink," he laughs, "I'm sorry, bullshit work stuff has come up," he glances at Titania on that with a we need to talk face, "I'll make it up to you, anyplace you want to go I'm down for it." he says, "So where is this dragon?"
Titania
Titania reaches a hand out to hold Bones before turning to look at Vinny. "Yes and we will get to that. Ive been doing some research into them tonight."
Bones
They take the hand happily, before looking to Vincent, "Over there, using expletives and slurs. I don't want to think about what resonance it's been eating. I'll have to check the area later..."
Evan
THAT makes the dragon roll back over. "The language. YOU are gonna forgive ME the language." The scales started to suck back into what- to Bones' eyes, at least- was very much a black person's skin. Light, but unmistakable. "YOU are gonna forgive ME the language?" The thirty foot dragon collapses into a six and a half foot tall, femme-presenting black person with chrome canine implants, stomping to the edge of the roof a full building away. "Gimme a- fuckin' second to get over there, I'll forgive YOU the language inna second!!!"
Vincent Drake
"Oh, hey Evan." vincent waves
Titania
Titania chuckles watching the Dragon turn into a person a little shake of her head. A squeeze of Bones hand as Vinny speaks.
Bones
"Oh, hello Evan... Tommy. WE met at the bar where we scared the Wasps away...." they didn't turn to look at the man but saw them all the same.
They returned the squeeze of the hand, and looked between the two kindred, "What were you researching? And yes, Vincent, I clearly know you drink blood. That's what I was offering, but if you don't want it..."
A shrug of the shoulders. Even though it was only residual city lights up here, the Mage seemed to have zero trouble seeing everyone and then some.
Everything settled, they put the throwing knives back in their sleeve in their satchel.
Vincent Drake
Vincent blushes due to the blush and grins, "I'll take some blood if your offering," he says trying to act smooth, "I think we should talk though about something, Titania too. . .their something you and Evan need to know, it might affect all of us."
Bones
The Obrimos held up their right hand towards Vincent, while wrapping their arm around Titania's back.
"I used a lot of energy today, so don't take too much. I can't heal it easily, tonight."
Now that they are closer to the group, a deep bruise over their heart woudl be more visible.
Evan
"Sup, V." Evan upnods Vinny as he vaults to the next rooftop, but rather than the theoretical storming over and enthusiastic "forgiving" promised, just leans on the rooftop next to theirs. "Ohhhh, yeah, that's right. Awright, fine, then, since we're acquainted, I'll apologize for all the F-bombs." Mea culpa. Also, love the workout get-up."
He peers over at the unfamiliar party and tilts her head. Evan upnods her way, too, if eye contact is made. "Sup. Evan Shaw, he/him. Niceta meetcha."
He hisses dramatically at Vinny. "Since. Since you're offering," he stage whispers. "If y'say it like that, makes it sound like y'weren't listening. Great way t'turn people off. Look for th'little ways to show you're tuned in." He flashes a thumbs up Vinny's way. "Now," he says, more normally. "What's this big important topic?"
Titania
"Aww, straight to work."
She shrugs. "I was looking forward to watching Bones squirm."
Then she looks down and a clay like substance leaks from her eyes on to the floor.
Vincent Drake
Vincent takes her hand and looks over her arm, once he see's a good spot he bites down, taking a small sip before finishing and closes the bite wound, he then kisses her hand, "You are a wonderful host my lady." he says with one of those damn grins of his, before standing up straight again, "Please tell me good sir," he adressing Evan, "Have you ever met a demon owl?"
Bones
"They/them, tonight, please," they corrected Vincent, with a happy sigh none the less.
"The Strix? I've heard of them from Vorpal..."
Evan
They/them, huh? "Suppose that makes you a gentlefolx and a scholar this evening, then!" He chirps supportively. "As for the demon owl thing... uh, no. I dunno what makes an owl a demon owl, even. Like, do they have horns or something? What am I looking for?"
Titania
She wiggles watching Bones squirm. "Thanks for letting me know my beating heart."
Then her voice and demeanor turn serious. "What do you want to know? Why do you want to know? You run into one?"
A demonic tail pulls her tome from the back of her coat and placing it in her hands. A slight his passing from her lips, like a call. Which causes Columbi and Mei to land on her shoulders.
Vincent Drake
"I was investigating. . .something," he begins, "Something I don't want to speak of at the moment, however as me and accomplice where departing, we were accosting by a female strix and her associate, a rotting corpse with no beast, my partner handled the woman but the man left, he called himself Brother Mclntyre but referred to himself as 'This One' the whole time."
Bones
"Columbi, Mei, pleasure..." they said happily, and then they skipped over to hug Evan, kissing his cheek, "Thanks, beautiful boy. Gotta stay together, right?" And then looking to Vincent's worry about talking about things, they snapped their fingers and... nothing happened.... they did it again and again nothing happened...
"Son of a bitch. Infinite Cosmic Powers my ass..." they marched over to the satchel.
Evan
Evan blinks at the tail and points nonchalantly. "Is it the Demon part we're worried about or the Owl part. Just, uh. Just checking."
"Damn right we gotta stick together." He loops an arm around Bones' back for the duration of the cheek peck and release them after. "So, it clearly ain't my biz, if you don't wanna talk in mixed company, but so far, what I hear is "I got jumped by a thing while I was on vampire business." I'm interested in hearin' how this concerns me and mine. Not that "I got jumped" ain't a concern, but you said we would be affected or interested or somethin', so. What'm I missin', here?"
Titania
Titania tilts her head at Vinny.
"There is a group trying to hunt Elders. How is Avery doing?"
She pauses for a moment. "The one using the rotting corpse was likely a younger Strix. The one that you caught likely being an older one as she is able to inhabit Kindred bodies."
Her body begins to grow tense before Bones starts to wander over get their bag. "Do I give you performance anxiety dear?"
Vincent Drake
he blinks at the concern, "Avery. . .their doing better. . .the fight wore them out alot. . .we caught her though, she got picked up by some ghouls. . .do you think she can be kept captive easily?"
Bones
"No, sweet Titania, you do not. But the weight of magic I'm currently under... can you see magics at all? ... I just... I learned that the evil killer robots out there know who I am, so currently I am chalk full of protection magics. It's just making it harder to focus... and..." they focused their mind and replaced some of their blood with potentia, letting the magic energy fill their system.
The Mage pulled out their pen, their petrified wood wand, and their coin. They threw the coin as high as they could into the air, spun around with the items pointing out, trying again.
This time, the sound waves would not leave past the rooftop itself, about ten feet above it and to the edges of the roof. It took a little adjusting, almost like the echoing in a stone chamber.
Titania
She nods at that wrapping an arm around their shoulder.
"The body. Yes. Im not quite sure how they work. There isnt much information on them. But. Given they posses their targets, she will likely just leave the Kindred body when taken hostage."
Their voice is showing stress as they speak about this. "They are likely the reason for a few Clans to not exist and, potentially the fall of Rome. There are unpleasant rumors about the abilities of the stronger ones. Each Strix has its own banes so its what makes them so hard to fight."
Evan
Evan sits back and fishes a beet out of his satchel and bites it in half, crunching it to pieces. It's clearly juicy and immediately stains his teeth, but he seems to enjoy the meal well enough for the moment while the other talk things over his paygrade.
Vincent Drake
"Well, my partner is one of the Lost and they where willing to kill them. . .and besides, I heard from one of your people that they where allied with a, what did she call it, a huntsmen, Avy mentioned them once and I can gather that's bad."
Bones
"So, Evan," they saddle up next to the Lost while the Changeling ate, "Are you a vegetarian? Would you like me to get some food from downstairs?
Titania
"Willing to kill them because they are a Strix or willing to kill them because they were threatening you?"
Evan
"Vegan, actually. Meat's too much of a temptation. I just stay well clear of it." Notably- most for Titania- Evan's hair is red. Very, very red. She's old. She knows spooky things. She might actually have heard tales of Redcaps from any time spent in Europe back in the day.
Evan pauses mid grind, swallowing the beet and licking his lips clean, chrome implants still stained. "A Huntsman? There's a Huntsman in the area? That's allied with a demon owl or something?? Did anyone say who's Hunted??"
Vincent Drake
"The Lost who informed me is named Vorpal." he says, "I take it these huntsmen are bad news?"
Bones
"Roger that..." and she opened the door that didn't seem visible a moment ago, and went downstairs.
Titania
There is a tilt of her head at Evans comment putting two and two together, a theory.
"Whats a Huntsman if you dont mind sharing Evan?"
Then a chuckle as Bones goes down through the stairs that werent there a moment ago.
Evan
"The Hunstman're like th'Terminator fucked Dog the Bounty Hunter and somehow produced the world's worst Fairy Godmother. They've got one motherfucker on their list, they're relentless, and they've got most of the tricks of the Fair Folk behind their nonsense huntathon."
"I dunno a Vorpal. But I'm new and I ain't met anyone." Evan rubs the back of his head. "Shit. I better tell someone. I'd rather look dumb than leave someone uninformed."
Vincent Drake
"That. . .that sound terrifying, and if they work with the Strix. . .oh fuck I want to be mortal again." he mutters
Bones
THey came back upstairs after a few minutes with a large platter of various fruits and vegetables, all in their peels or equivalent.
The tray was a full sized turkey style tray, loaded to as much as the Mage could balance. They set it next to Evan and then sat on the edge of the roof, thinking.
Titania
"Thats." A pause. "Unsettling."
"Now im worried about one of them bringing an army over when they are ready. Is that why they are hunting the Elders. Take care of anyone that has more of a chance of dealing with them."
She smiles as Bones comes back up stairs. Resting her hand on their shoulder. Stroking their neck.
Bones
"Mmm... that feels nice..." the Mage wrapped their arm around their smaller, but infinitely stronger, lover.
"It gets worse if you consider the ones who make the robots, and the ones who make the Lost are in some strange alliance."
Evan
'Eh, they ain't after you, buddy. They're on our asses. They're like parole officers, here t'drag Lost back to Never Never Land for good," Evan reassures. He glances aside at the meal brought up and nods to Tommy. "Thoughtful. Thank ya." He starts with the firmest, crunchiest stuff and starts making his way through the platter like it's his job.
Evan looks curiously towards Titania. "The Owls or the Huntsmen? Which are we talking about, now?"
He turns his head mid crunch back towards Tommy. "The what now. Is this about that- uh, the robocops?"
Vincent Drake
"Ah shit, cops have robots now, don't they know crime is hard enough as it is!"
Bones
"Si, senor. I haven't heard from them directly, but they know who I am. And they've ambushed, with an interview, my friend Klaire and her service animal... threatened the Dog too. They're made by the organization tha works for evil magic gods."
Titania
She watches Evan eat then continues talking. "The Owls. There is rumors the powerful ones can rip open twilight for an army of them to come through. Maybe that is how they toppled Rome."
She watches Tommy talk smiling as she touched their skin. "Robocops, Huntsman and Strix." A pause her hand digging in to the limit of comfort. "Shit."
Bones
"Titania... I'm not made of kindred steel..." they wince.
Titania
She pulls back her hand shaking it. "Sorry my beating heart."
Evan
Evan shakes his head a bit. "Making me glad I mostly stay out of this place. All sortsa nutty shit going down over here. Nooooo thanks." He crunches down on an entire apple. "Maybe better not hang around Twilight, either."
Vincent Drake
"I just got into this shit, I don't think I'm prepared for end of the world nonsense, I thought being a vampire meant being a blood sucking sex god, that's what media tells us." he mutters to himself
Bones
"Well... I'll tell you now... you all are welcome to crash here, if you ever need it. I have protections over the place. I can do more if need be...Though you'd primarily be limited to the second floor as Papi is a sleeper. and he stays on the first floor."
Titania
"I appreciate you my beating heart. But. Your house is a little limiting space wise."
A stroke of their face again.
Bones
"There are ways around it... but if it came down to it, you're welcome in my yard for daysleep."
Evan
"Oh. Uh. Thanks. I don't really need anywhere to crash, I got a good place. But thanks, really." Crunch. There goes a pear. "So. How long the two of you been dating?" That, of course, to Bones and Titania.
Vincent Drake
Vincent smiles, nodding at Evan's question, gossip was great and this was a story he wanted to hear
Bones
"Fucking, and a night."
Titania
"It might turn into more but for now its that."
She chuckles at the bluntness then turning to Evan. "So, Redcap?"
Evan
"Oh." Evan looks between the pair a few times. "Guess I misread all the "my beating heart"s and stuff, I usually see that in long-time lovers. My bad." No judgment, just surprise that's what "fuckbuddy" looks like to these cats.
"Ohhhh, we got a mythology student, do we? Good eye. Normally, this is where I'd obfuscate and make shit up or deny deny deny but fuck it, I'm talking to a couple of ACTIVE predators, I don't mind admitting I used to be off that wagon."
Vincent Drake
"I mean, I've got a date with Bones coming up so I don't think it's exlusive," Vincent shrugs, "However, I will admit they look cute together," he turns to Titania and grins, finding it amusing to learn she does still have feelings, "You're a good combo."
Bones
"Ah, it makes sense. Now I recall the myths on the redcaps. Makes more sense... is the fruit okay for you, Ev?"
And then to Vincent, "And you didn't even have to wait til the first date for a Kiss."
Titania
Titania tilts her head at Evan. "This is how I interacted with my last friend in the 1600's."
A pat of their shoulder. "Am I crossing your boundaries dear? Should I not be doing this? Is this not how friends interact?"
She pulls back her hand putting it on her lap and stroking Mei.
Evan
"Hey, I ain't judgin'. This ain't my rodeo, I just got puzzled at the different signals. Just an alternate set of signals entirely, that's all."
"Aw, it's fine. I mean, it's boring? But everything's fucking boring. I eat shit like beets and jicama for the crunch and the juices. That's about as close as I can get to enjoying food. But it's cool. I'd rather have a boring diet than fuck people up."
Bones
They clasped the hand of Titania and tried to keep it there. Touch was very important to them. Touch was a platonic and amorous love language for them.
Titania
She places her hand back on their shoulder. A little look of confusion on their face.
Evan
Evan gives Titania a reassuring little, 'yeah, you and me both with the confusion' sidenod.
Vincent Drake
"I love people watching." Vincent says to know one smiling, clearly enjoying the micro-drama before him,
Bones
"Many people, many friends, are not lovers or as touch starved as what I am. I love to snuggle and cuddle and be with my friends, even ones with whom I never wish any sort of sexual or romantic liason," their voice was a strange straddling of professional educator and personal.
"However, I love being toucehd and snuggled and bit and just... one with my people. My Beating Heart sounds very Shakespearian romance to modenr ears. I like it because I was the beating heart. It makes sense to me... does that make any more sense, sweetie?"
Evan
That clears it up for Evan, at least! "I like it sometimes, but when you get sharp enough, you start seeing the cheaters who ain't caught yet and smell the blood underneath nails and shit just... sours, sometimes. This ain't bad."
Titania
She tilts her head, then a nod of understanding. Or at the very least. She thinks she understands. Her hand drifting up onto their neck so she can feel their pulse.
"It was mostly from last night, lying on your chest and listening to your heartbeat was relaxing." Then a thought. "Doesnt that get annoying though? Being able to hear your heartbeat all the time?"
Bones
"ANd that's why I say, it makes sesne to me. ANd no, desensitization. Your brain filters it out. The heartbeat only becomes audible from time to time."
Vincent Drake
"My opinion on sex," Vincent offers to no one who asked, "It's one of the pillars of human desire," he starts talking to an invisible crowd, like a self styled philosopher, "Hell, my first time taught me it's a useful tool, she just wanted to make her crush jealous, it's something magical with someone you love, truly becoming one, with a friend it's a fun time, and with a random stranger it's a brief distraction from the reality we live in. ..it's also one of the best ways to get information and manipulate people." he grins wickedly to himself, "Of course I'm a young man so my views may change."
Bones
They find themselves starting to get lost in Vincent's voice, and frowned, and after a moment of self reflection, pushed potentia through their mind as well, to get rid of that particular aftereffect.
Titania
"Is that how you think about your time with Avery then? A means to an end." There isn't her usual hatred filling the voice. Tonight is a night of learning and genuine questioning.
Evan
"Welp, guess I'm fucked, then. I've been so fucking hungry since I got back I ain't been horny once. There goes my pillar'a human desire." Evan shrugs to himself.
"It's worth noting there's a fuckton of asexual perfectly normal humans that would argue the fuck outta you for that. I ain't care, but you should rethink aligning "sex" with "human."
Shits gonna get you decked, boyo."
Vincent Drake
"I said it's magical with someone you truly love," he says, almost snapping, "With Avery, I make love to them, it's completely different." he blinks, "Oh fuck, my apologizes." he says rubbing the back of his head, "Some people have different desires, I never said it was universal, just a Pillar, not all Pillars need to be used, their are more, Ambition, Faith, Greed, Kindness, Platonic Love," he puts his hands up, "I meant no offense."
Titania
She chuckles at Vinny's response. Looking to Evan. "Now im curious how the Kiss would affect you. If it would override your hunger enough to get horny or if both."
A shake of her head. "Sorry, ive been doing dusty research all night, im easily distracted now."
Evan
"I dunno, lady. I'd rather not find out. If it just dumped all that fake want where the rest of it goes, there's a very real chance the eater and eaten switch places. An'aint nobody eager to see what happen.
It's fuckin' messy."
"And chill, V. Like I said, I ain't bothered. Just know there's people would be."
Vincent Drake
"In my business, knowing what people want was a key," he says staring off into the night, "Sex, glory, honor, wealth, love, it doesn't matter what it is in particular all humans desire something, my job is to find out what it is in particular and sell them something they think is the real deal." he says, "That's the thing about people, they'll settle for the illusion or just the hope of it rather than the real deal. . . " he then switches back to the jovial nature, "Sorry, I'm boring I know."
Titania
"Maybe one day you'll make a useful Kindred." She chuckles.
Evan
Evan listens a few moments. "Great. So you get by selling people broken dreams. No offen- no, you know what, full fucking offense intended, that is a fucking monstrous line of work. Maybe that suits you fine but it rubs me the wrong fucking way." He stands and dumps the rest of the food Bones brought him into his satchel. "So I'm gonna leave before I do what I usually do when I run into something fuckin' monstrous." The satchel, he shoulders, and clambers onto the fire escape. "Thanks for the meal, Tommy. Have a nice night."
Vincent Drake
Vincent smiles and raises an eyebrow at the departure, turning to Titania and shrugging, "And I thought we were going to be friends." he says, "Then again their are many who hate that kind of thinking but to be honest, in this world broken dreams are the closest we might get to our dreams," he turns to look over the Philly skyline, "If people want the spider's thread of hope to cling to, who am I to deny them it, if it makes them happy then what kind of monster would I be to deny them." he puts his hands behind his back, "I'm upgrading though, information is the next logical step, after that who knows."
Titania
She shrugs. "You stab them in the back, I stab them in the front. It is what it is."
Then she turns to Evan. "Have a good night Evan Dragonkin."
Evan
"You too, lady. Keep your beatin' heart beatin'."
Evan's hearing must be particularly sharp, because it is QUITE easy to hear him snap, "UNrepentant motherFUCKer," after Vinny's self-important little rationalization, just before he hops off the bottom level of the escape and disappears into the night.
Titania
"So, what did you find out? Anything useful."
Vincent Drake
"Yeah. . .they hired mortals to hack your phones, their on retainer," he turns to her in seriousness, honestly the most mature she's seen him, "They have the names of every Kindred in the city, at least before my embrace, you, the family heads, the Sakima. . .they know who we are and if they know that then theirs no telling what else." he takes out his phone and shows her the picture he took of the email, "I already sent it to Mr.Wright who I trust shared it with Sakima."
Titania
She nods. Her expression showing that it isnt news. "Anything new?"
Vincent Drake
"So I almost died for nothing," he says flatly, "Oh that's wonderful, Strix are interested if not protecting them, if their using this mortal company the prehaps we can watch them and they'll lead us to their masters. . . not likely since the Strix caught me leaving." he sighs, "And here I thought I did a service."
Titania
"You confirmed what was an assumption. They had all of our mobile contact information unless it was heavily encrypted. Did you find out anything about the workers? It would be good to know if they were being controlled or working as they believe in the Strix mission."
Then she chuckles.
"Your already dead dear. Avery nearly died for not a lot though."
Vincent Drake
"The workers have no idea about us, they believe it was a roleplay event and targeted advertisement, one of them did lament how they where unable to meet their boss as they where dayshift, so a vampire at the top is confirmed." he relays, "They have the mortal company on retainer for future use, if the Strix do not share my actions then they will likely continue to use their services, if they do we need to sweep it quickly but that's above my paygrade." he walks closer to Titania, "So, your the elder, have you encountered this group before, seems we don't like to talk of them."
Titania
"They are a cult wanting to make the city fall to ruin out of a sense of righteousness."
Vincent Drake
"Righteousness, I find it amusing the damned still believe in that," he observes, "I'm rather full if you require sustenance," he offers, "I know mortal blood does not invigor you, unless I was mistaken," he shows his neck, "I've made peace with our deal and wish no discord between us."
Titania
"We all have our own way of living, that means what it means to each of us."
She shrugs. "They thinktheir way is right and the cities way is wrong."
Then she leans forward taking the 5 Vitae offered. "Thanks. Look at you. Learning."
Leaning back she licks her lips and fangs clean before cuddling into Bones. "Have a good night."
Vincent Drake
he gives a small bow, a tad mocking and walks backwards, untill he falls of the side, however if one where to check he's back to acrobating around the city
