Richter</strong>, Tremere Apprentice<br/><em>Charisma 3, Appearance 2, Status 1, 'Blush of Health'</em><br/>Tagged: Calrond/Helena Taylor<br/><br/>Sebastian's expression tightened a little as he became ever of his sire's beauty, standing so close. Though his misspent youth had been a time of rebellion - sex, drugs and rock and roll, to quote the stereotype - he had never been with a woman quite of her stature as a mortal, though indeed there were few who could make such a claim. Their regent was exceptional and though his own attire and grooming were immaculate, he looked but a pale old man compared to her. For awhile, he had had the quiet suspicion that she had embraced him precisely because of that - he was a type of person far more commonly found amongst their clan and would perhaps make for a good intermediary for more typical Tremere. That he was more than eager to learn and work towards advancement, to once more grasp for the success his past life had barred him from, must have helped too, of course.<br/><br/>"I have some ideas regarding the recent disturbances," he explained, keeping his words vague on purpose. "And I thought we might discuss some of the new arrivals." He glanced towards the exit, apparently not wishing to clarify while they were still well within the hearing range of many a vampire.<br/><br/>He followed, in his black suit and red shirt, his own countenance still looking far more lively than it usually did - though he <em>had</em> fed, the Regent would of course know that it was the courtesy of one of their occult rituals and that he must be carrying a small vial of human blood on him to work this nostalgic brand of magic. Their steps took them inside the limousine, which Sebastian entered and settled down in. Always one for protocol, he waited for his Sire to speak first, to ask of him or tell him whatever she needed. He'd get his opportunity afterwards.</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1d/Katherine_Tremaine-small.jpg)</div><strong>Katherine Tremaine</strong>, Tremere Ghoul<br/><em> Appearance 3</em><br/>Tagged: Joanna Kyleson<br/><br/>The shop itself wasn't really anything special. For a privately owned store, it was fairly big, but didn't really make very good use of the space offered. The furniture was an odd mix; the large wooden shelves on the opposite side of the entrance was full of books upon books and looked antiquated, like something from the last century. Some modern plastic-looking tables, a number of gaudy looking new age statues and more.<br/><br/>The female employee, meanwhile, peered quizzically at Joanna, but nodded after a moment. "If you've been invited by Mr. Richter, you're more than welcome, Joanna. Call me Katherine." The brunette proceeded to open the door completely and step aside so that the vampire could enter, then closed the door once again and turned the key, to once more match the 'closed' sign that had been there.<br/><br/>The woman then walked over to the counter and settled down behind it, waiting for the visitor to indicate what she wanted, but for now Joanna looked content to browse their book selection. <br/><br/>Katherine opened one of the drawers and pulled out a small cellphone, fiddling with it until Joanna finally stepped up to the counter with a book she found. "Astrology?" She looked like she was going to say something else, but then the phone buzzed. She picked it up, quickly glanced at the message there, then looked up again. "Mr. Richter will meet you in twenty minutes." She spoke haltingly, blinked, then put a slightly strained smile on her face. "I suppose that means you're a special customer."</td></tr></tbody></table>
