*As might be expected, the car is a luxery model that just barely avoids being called a limosine. A driver is already in the front, and the engine is running so the car is warmed up for their approach* (Assume everything is in Italian unless otherwise stated, to save time) Well, that was certainly an eventful evening.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 9:28:55 PM)
*she could not help but glance around at her surroundings consorting with a Giovanni who would have thought,but one must use the resources given like or disliked*(works for me) To say the very least,Iam curious as to what those two where that were speaking to the Prince I must say...*she expexted nothing less from a Giovanni luxury was in their blood so to speak* If not Nosferatu as they stated,then perhaps *letting her words trail off*

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 9:31:02 PM)
*He held the door for them to climb in*

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 9:32:16 PM)
I confess to some curiousity as to their nature as well. Given their appearance, if not Sewer Rats then it is rather coincidental that something of their appearance would appear at the time the city has seen increased activity from the Sabbat. *Sliding inside the car first, though there is ample room for Ana and Aldo both given the double bench within the interior*

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 9:39:58 PM)
*Ana would let Leo of course inside his car first,then she would follow smooting out her pants as she sat down laying her hands on her lap as she spoke to him for the most part ignoring Aldo poor thing*I could not agree more*slight pause*perhaps you can find out what exactly these creatures are? The reason I wished to speak to you,is exactly that the Sabbat..I understand your Clan is netural and I respect that but I would ask you to conisder the following*lifts her hand motions to Aldo but never looks at him*What would happen if the Sabbat were to obtain one of your family memebers? Yes,you have ways of tracking them Iam certain but that is not the point...My point is,we will need all the resources available to find a mutal foe..Iam certain the rumors are true that your Clan has played both sides*holds her hand up before he responds*I am not implying you persay Mr.Giovanni we all play our games it is what we do after all..*slight nod* I am merely asking,for you assitance if it is needed..I will hold no annamo

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 9:53:08 PM)
*Listens quietly to Ana as she speaks, leaning back in the seat for a moment to consider* If the Sabbat were to move against one of my family, we would respond as necessary to secure their release and discourage a repeat of that behavior on their part. Neutrality does not exclude self-defense, but what was being discussed inside the building was not self-defense at this time in our eyes. If we were to become involved directly in hunting for the Sabbat and its forces within the city, we are then the ones that have poked the hornet's nest rather than the other way around. We may be able to provide supplies, such as weapons or capital or possibly reconissence with the proper compensation, but that is the extent of what we can do without risking much more than we would gain.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:00:48 PM)
*she listens to what Leo says,nodding her head*This is very true it was not self-defense but in a sense it is,if they are more than willing and capable of taking the Senshcal then it is self-defense. For myself and others of the council,granted a mere Primogen is nothing compared to a Senshcal but the fact of the matter is that they can take any of us from anywhere...And yes if you were to become involved this would indeed mean you as you put it poked the hornets nest...But,I did not ask for you to become directly involved Mr.Giovanni,as you said you can supply weapons,capital or reconissence if properly compensated....I just wished to know what you just stated,I shall relay this information if the need does indeed arise...

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:02:47 PM)
As you recall, I offered my assistance in locating your missing seneschal, and it was rejected. I trust you will forgive me for having little trust that this latest offer will be recieved any more favorably.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:04:55 PM)
Perhaps they will see you in a different light now, Signore.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:05:45 PM)
*nods*Yes,I recall such was rejected as to my understanding of why I can not give I apologize..Understandable,but I will not mention it until it is needed.. For the moment this discussion is between you and I*glances at Aldo*and your companioin whom I trust knows not to speak about anything that was said?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:08:23 PM)
Discretion is a trait that our family shares, whether they draw breath or not. As far as anyone else within the city will, this conversation never occured.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:08:27 PM)
*he smiled slowly at Ana*

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:10:33 PM)
*Returning her attention back to Leo* Indeed it is. Very well,then I shall take no more of your time..I thank you for speaking with me Mr.Giovanni*giving a respectful nod of her head to him*

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:12:17 PM)
*Smiling slightly and returning the nod* Of course, Primogen Montrose. I look foward to our next oppertunity for such pleasantries.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:13:12 PM)
And it was a pleasure meeting you, Primogen Montrose.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:14:22 PM)
Indeed*as she opened the door and stepped out*Good evening to you both*giving them both some semblance of a smile before she departed as she shut the door*

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:14:53 PM)
(Muwhaha. The fun of politics)

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:15:15 PM)
(oh yes indeed)

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:15:31 PM)
(AHh I have missed it :) ))

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:15:55 PM)
(sad thing is..out of all minus the prince and elyse and respects leo is on that list..how odd is that)

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 20, 2010 10:16:37 PM)

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:18:46 PM)
*He watched her as she departed and turend to Leo* what do you think?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:20:54 PM)
I think that she realizes that their position in this city is tenuous at best and would have a difficult time surviving a full siege from of the Sabbat. The others may puff themselves up and bluster, but she at least sees that they are in need of help.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:26:49 PM)
Better than most of teh ones I saw tonight. *he pulled his leather gloves from his jacket and tugged them on* Not bad to look at either

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:29:24 PM)
*Smirks* I'm certain she'll be gratified to hear that appraisal at least. And yes, the others in attendence do leave something to be desired most of the time. Tonight was rather sedate, given there was only one brujah

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:29:54 PM)
I noticed. And I would prefer, should I return again, that they continue to think I speak no English.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:33:03 PM)
*Nods* I agree, it will make matters much easier in the future, as well as making them more willing to speak openly if you are away from my side at events.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:35:06 PM)
My point exactly. *He smiled* At least she is unafraid to speak in my presence

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:37:31 PM)
True, though that may be due to the fact that she speaks the same language as well. A fact I was unaware of until this evening, which is a useful nugget I may be able to use in the future

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:38:49 PM)
And I am glad we foufn that out sooner rather than later Leo

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:41:36 PM)
Indeed. Forewarned is much prefered in the world of kindred politics. Just as the fact that she is willing to speak like this indicates to me that she may be receptive to other considerations in the future as well. I suspect that we will be conducting alot more business with our dear primogen.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:45:45 PM)
*he nodded* She certainly was not afraid to be alone with two of us

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:47:29 PM)
*Nods* She has shown intelligence in the past discussions I have had with her. She is aware that after my absention wihtin the council vote that I am likely not the most popular member of the city at the moment, and so some discretion on her part is warrented and expected. Particularly if she is to be of use later.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:48:34 PM)
If you need me as a go between, I will do it gladly

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:49:52 PM)
At the moment I don't think that will be necessary, but we can adjust things as needed if that changes.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:52:05 PM)
Good enough. Shall we then?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:57:26 PM)
Indeed. *Pressing a button on the side of the chair, signalling to the driver to proceed with the drive back to the manor* We have work to do. Tomorrow evening, we will be spending time in one of the cemetaries in our domain.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 10:59:03 PM)
Very well, I'll be there.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:01:41 PM)
*Nods* With luck, I'll find a suitable spirit to use as something of a bloodhound for my plans

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:02:33 PM)
DO you intend to follow our dear Primogen?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:03:18 PM)
Not yet. First though, I need to find the sabbat that is causing such a commotion of late.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:05:50 PM)
DO you know how many there are?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:08:35 PM)
At least three. I would imagine at least double that if not more, but I only need to find a means of making contact with one

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:11:28 PM)
What do you propose?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:12:36 PM)
Nothing yet. I simply wish to be prepared in case something happens that I need to communicate with them for whatever reason.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:15:04 PM)
And holding the hope that remaining nuetral will keep us inone piece should they slaughter the rest?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:15:43 PM)
There is that, yes.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:18:39 PM)
I have no interest in drawing our family into this conflict beyond the point that it is profitable for us to be involved.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:18:52 PM)
I would agree with you.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:25:52 PM)
What is your impression on the other kindred that was in attendence this evening?

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:29:07 PM)
Beside the fact that most wanted to hear thier own voices? The Gangrel have one that seems to think she is a pup at playtime. The Brujah Primogen is, I would guess, possessed of a hell of an ego, without basis, and the Prince let two beings of an unknown and questionable clan into his domain.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:33:35 PM)
*Nods* The Brujah are like that on a good evening, without the thin layer of civility stretched over them, but I agree with the rest of your statement. I also suspect that Ms Montrose knows more of those two strangers than she is sharing at the moment, which warrents further investigation.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:34:11 PM)
And the rest were content to let them slide even when one admitted he was of a clan that makes people uneasy

Which does not speak of much encouragement, does it? Which I suspect is why Montrose realizes that their position is so precarious at this point.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:40:56 PM)
THose two could have been anyone, including those they seek to fight off

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:42:58 PM)
Particularly with their appearance as they were, and not being Nosferatu.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:43:38 PM)
My point exactly. Does not inspire comfrot exactly

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:45:41 PM)
I suspect that they will become rather indebted to us. Provided they survive long enough for us to collect on those.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:46:02 PM)
Any thought sa s to what they were?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:48:13 PM)
None at the moment. As time permits, I will do some research to see if any new leads turn up. And I will speak with the don when possible as well.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:50:08 PM)
I have a request wehre he is concerned.

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:52:10 PM)
Hmm?

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:52:30 PM)
This business with Sarah. Could we keep that between us for now?

Leonardo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:53:42 PM)
I see no reason why the don should be aware of that particular incident at this point.

Aldo Giovanni (Nov 20, 2010 11:56:33 PM)
Thank you. *he looekd relieved, an unusual expression for Aldo*
