Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:41:58 PM)
Venaria slipped into the building after having parked, considering the inside thoughtfully as she walked toward the library.

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:43:51 PM)
*Aldo was emerging from an office in the depths of the house, speaking into his phone* I want the report on my desk tomorrow. I will see her in two nights and then we will see where we are. *He closed the phone as he made his way down the corridor*

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:44:32 PM)
She'd offer Aldo a polite nod and small smile. "Evening."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:45:22 PM)
*Sitting within the library already, clad in the simple black robe that is his prefered attire when remaining within the walls of the manor. The dark fabric contrasting sharply with the deathly pallor of his flesh as he sits in one of the plush, comfortable chairs with a worn but sturdy copy of some book in his lap*

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:46:46 PM)
Good evening Doctor. *as she had requested last time, he did not perform the perfunctory kiss to the hand that manners dictated. * You have come at a good time. Leonardo is here. *he opened the door to the library, waiting for her to go first*

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:48:15 PM)
She nodded in appreciation to the gesture and moved into the library. She'd consider Leonardo curiously moving inside after a glance over him and then getting distracted with the books a moment, eyes glancing across titles a moment before she tore them back away and back to Leonardo politely. "Good evening."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:49:11 PM)
Signor Leonardo Giovanni, may I present Dr. Venaria Giovanni.

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:53:04 PM)
*Closing the book after putting the purple silk cord in place to make his place before it's placed over to the side on the small setting table. They can see that it is a book by Virgil as he folds his hands in his lap and gives a small inclination of his head towards Venaria* Doctor. Aldo. Please be comfortable and have a seat.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:54:09 PM)
She took another glance at the books before seating herself. "Thank you. It is good to see more of the family in the city, there were so few of us for a long time."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:56:25 PM)
*He sat down as well, once the lady had been seated* It most certainly is. And while are may be few, that certainly does not mean we have lacked for entertainment.

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:56:50 PM)
So I have heard, and seen since arriving from Venice. But with luck, that will soon be changing, as we make our presence in this city known.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:57:44 PM)
She nodded thoughtfully. "It is a good time for us to get involved."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 9:59:32 PM)
*He nodded* which begs the question...to what ends?

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:01:19 PM)
"My interests lie more in the arcane aspects of our ability but I imagine it is not a bad time to build business as well."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:01:54 PM)
To see the other clans brought low, and kept in a position where they can pose no threat to our plans and undertakings.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:02:38 PM)
She smiled a bit at Leonardo's comments. "Here I thought that part was a given."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:04:42 PM)
I have made a contact already that should prove more useful than she expects to be.

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:05:17 PM)
*Smirks* Perhaps, though it never hurts to repeat things occasionally. My own studies also lies with the black arts, but I am also the representative for our family within the local Camarilla court. So their going ons will be at least somewhat better known to us than would otherwise be the case perhaps.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:07:12 PM)
"Good to know. I likely should introduce myself to their prince just to avoid unneeded drama."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:08:17 PM)
When you are ready to do so, I will make the necessary arrangements for that to occur as smoothly as possible.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:08:43 PM)
She nodded. "I appreciate that cousin."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:09:46 PM)
*Nods slightly in return* It would be best I think however if we kept our presence to a minimum within their courts. It is to our benefit that they not know the precise number of our family that resides here

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:11:26 PM)
"I don't intend to be involved in such things. My studies take up much of my free time and are preferred to be perfectly frank."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:11:53 PM)
Meaning that I do not need to be known among them, I take it?

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:17:08 PM)
Not at the moment, I think. If it becomes necessary, I will let others know of your presence and status as mine. But for now, I think it is safe to say that we can ignore the Camarilla for much of the time.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:18:19 PM)
"They seem to distract themselves often enough that I doubt we'll be paid much mind." She stated thoughtfully. "Particularlly with their power structure being rearranged recently."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:18:33 PM)
( http://verydemotivational.memebase.com/2010/10/28/demotivational-posters-cross-cannon As a curious aside =) )

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:19:28 PM)
(heh)

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:20:02 PM)
Mostly, yes. Such confusion on their part aids us greatly in finding cracks to exploit and provides the oppertunity to lay our own foundation in avenues that are of interest to us and shore up our defenses in areas that we will contest the Camarilla for.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:20:31 PM)
She nodded again. "If I can be of service please let me know."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:21:36 PM)
*he glaned to Leo a moment* And if I may assist you, and as time allows of course, please call.

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:23:45 PM)
(er he was talkign to Venaria, sorry, that was a deferential look to Leo()

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:24:45 PM)
Aldo got a small smile for the offer. (heh good to know)

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:30:24 PM)
*Smiles slightly* The Don should be pleased to see this sort of cooperation going on. Once we've laid the ground work, I suspect that we will all be branching outward like a hydra

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:30:51 PM)
*He stood then and bowed* Now, if you will excuse me, I will indeed resume my hydra-like activities. *he smiled, amused*

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:31:35 PM)
She nodded to Aldo, glancing after the ghoul a moment before looking back to Leo. "I can leave as well if you'd like to be alone to study."

Aldo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:32:20 PM)
(And I need to run, bedtime for kiddos here)

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:37:42 PM)
*Shakes his head slightly* It's not necessary. There is still time before my attention is necessary elsewhere, so I have no reason for solitude just yet.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:38:36 PM)
She nodded. "May I ask where in your studies you are where necromancy is concerned?"

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:40:12 PM)
At the moment, they are still in their infancy. I can summon a spirit and speak with it, but lack the ability to compel its service if it is relunctant to do so willingly, along with a few minor rituals to compliment those studies.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:41:41 PM)
Another nod. "I'm afraid it is much the same for me. Though I would like to trade notes as it were sometime if you are up to it."

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:43:33 PM)
*nods* Of course. I have little else to do away from the manor when not playing diplomat, given my particular pallor makes it difficult to interact with the mortals freely.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:44:19 PM)
"Some would consider it a blessing to not be forced to do so." She smirked a bit, like she was remembering someone in particular.

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:49:12 PM)
*Chuckles slightly* Perhaps so. There are nights when I feel the same way towards the kine. But they still still have their uses occasionally, so I suppose it is worth their continued irritation.

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:50:00 PM)
"Only in particular cases but yes, on occassion they make themselves worth the trouble." She nodded.

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:55:20 PM)
(And it's time for me to head off as well)

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:55:28 PM)
(okay thanks for the scene)

Leonardo Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:55:45 PM)
(You as well :) Viva la necro-family)

Dr. Venaria Cess Giovanni (Oct 28, 2010 10:55:58 PM)
