(1111) Eliot and Daniella

**Daniella Sage** · Nov 22nd, 2011 05:51 PM

“Well we will have to try and set something up soon then.” smiling, the thought pleased her; it would be a welcome break. “I appreciate the offer! It would be an honor to work with you." her tone sincere, she enjoyed working with new people and getting to know them.

Seeing him look to their Priscus, she nods her head, “You are most welcome! If I am able to be of any more assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask."

Hearing his talk of the bloodline was interesting, she has not heard of one like that, well, she had not heard of many. "Nourishment from long distances? That could certainly prove to be very beneficial! And an interesting topic, and like you said, maybe some other time? But remember, you have sparked my interest, so I would like to hear more about it sometime."

Daniellas smile softens, “No worries, you have not offended me! We all have our past and are all working to overcome it. With our past, we take the good, with the bad, and while he was not a kind man, he did give me the gift of unlife, and I will always be thankful for that.” While she was thankful he gave her another chance at life, it could not change the awful man he was.

“Thank you, you are too kind!I like to think I am a work in progress, always learning and always changing.” hearing his toast, her eyes lighten, “That sounds like a lovely toast! I’m sure my friend would have enjoyed it, as he helped me see that though undead, we can still have a soul.” Viktor would have rather enjoyed talking with Eliot she thinks with a smile. Though, her heart had not felt much warmth sense losing Viktor, it was a pleasant thought.

Did she have questions, well; she always had questions, but had learned to keep most to herself. “Was the occult an interest you had before your embrace? I personally did not have much knowledge of it, only the desire to learn new things.” most of her knowledge was self-taught, and perhaps she could learn some things from Eliot.

Eliot was pleased with Bailiff Sages answers and felt relived that she wasnt upset. "Well, the occult is something that has fascinated me since I was a kid. My father was a researcher, much like myself, and my mother an archeologist, traveling between dig sites in different corners of the world and bringing back fascinating stories to tell me. This did spark an early interest in me regarding mythologies and occult subjects from all over the world. Trapped inbetween science and the occult the way I was I couldnt help but pick up a few things. I have always enjoyed to learn new things, especially those that I find interesting. When I later grew up, I came to studie science and occultism at the local university, that is, untill my embrace."

Eliot went silent for a second in order for the Bailiff to have some time for what he just said to sink in and in order to think where to continue. "After my embrace I came to pick up my studies and complete them, becoming a professor in the end. I suspect my sire chose me for that simple reason, that I was a fast learner and interested in both the scientific and the occult. My skills has since served me well in regard to the work I perform in my covenant and in obtaining new interesting knowledge to studie. I would say we are the same in that regard, we both wishes to learn new things that fascinate us or just for the sake of self-improvement."

"Bailiff Sage, would you mind if I ask if you know of anyone that might grant tenancy rights? I currently live in a large family home I recently accuired but its not really suited for the research I perform so I was thinking about establishing a haven somewhere in town and as I earlier told you, preferably close to a spiritual nexus, but thats something Ill have to talk with the domains dragons about. Anything that comes to mind might help. Do you think the Reeve would be the right person to turn to? He is after all, our Priscus and the regent of Florin, but I dont know if he would be inclined to grant a tenancy right to someone as new to the domain as myself. What do you think? I would of course help him with what ever he deems necessary in order to be granted the right of tenancy as long as its in my power "

It was always interesting to hear the different pasts of fellow Kindred, not one seemed to be the same. As she listens, she thinks of how vastly different their backgrounds were, her had been poor farmers, while his were educated. “Sounds like an exciting childhood! I would love to hear more of your travels sometime.” she didn't have many interesting stories, but she had a feeling it would still be a great conversation.

She listens to him talk of self-improvement and learning new things, “I think self-improvement is something we are always doing, and learn new things as benefit. It seems to go both ways in my opinion. But there is nothing more enjoyable than learning something new!” One could not learn without improving in someway.

At the mention of Tenancy rights, her gaze shifts back towards Conner, “I would direct you to our Priscus for those questions. There are, of course, other Regency's within the Domain. We have Miss Roxy Hart and Dr Erica Brady, both exceptional woman. Though I think talking with Priscus Greyson would be a wise decision, I find him to be both reasonable and fair.” Looking back to Eliot, “I would be more than happy and willing to introduce you to him.” Her tone was upbeat, as most of his questions would be best answered by Conner, it was the best option.

"Im really glad to have meet you Bailiff Sage, Its been long since I last had such an interesting talk with a fellow kindred. I would gladly accept your invitation to be introduced to Priscus Greyson if that is ok with you, just dont think its because I have nothing more to say, Id be happy to continue our talk on various interesting topics as soon as I have introduced myself to our Priscus and asked him about the tenancy right."

Eliot looks in the direction of Herald Villiers and adds: "By the way, would you know what clan and covenant Herald Villiers belong to? She wouldnt tell me but rather wanted me to guess. I can say from my experience with her that she isnt a part of clan Nosferatu and probably not a part of clan Gangrel which leaves three possible candidates: Clan Ventrue, Daeva or Mekhet. As for her covenant Id say that she is not part of the circle or the sanctified but im not sure of more than that...."

Eliot looks back at Bailiff Sage and adds: "You wouldnt know of a Gangrel that might be able to teach the discipline of Protean, would you? Since I first became aware of our innate abilities and powers, I have been looking for a teacher that could teach me that particular power. The reason is twofold: First it represents change in order to adapt to ones environment and the concept of change is always interesting to a dragon, secondly it provides some very useful abilities when one is out in the wilderness, for example when looking for wyrms nests, such as the ability to see in the dark and sleep in the earth without fear of harm or the need to locate a shelter against the sun. I was thinking about asking Mr Giovanni as he seemed like an interesting person, uninterested in politics but seemingly loyal and capable. I just hope he isnt one of those savages that thinks teaching other kindred their unique clan discipline makes the Gangrel less than they are. I would say that one grows as a person by teaching others of the knowledge one possesses and that by teaching Protean to a fellow kindred not of their clan a Gangrel isnt reduced in capacity but insteed rather bridges the gap in between their clan and the kindred community at large. I have of course already thought about how to compencate him, If he is still interested in joining my covenant I could arrange a meeting with the Grand Wyrm of this domain provided he agrees to teach me, if that isnt enought I could always teach him about obfuscate, teaching a discipline for a discipline. As a teacher that would come most natural to me. What do you say about this, Bailiff Sage?"

Daniella smiles and nods, “I think you will find any conversation with Priscus Greyson to be both interesting and beneficial. As far as us continuing our talk, I am sure we can set something up and I am always willing to set aside time.” her smile widens, "I have also enjoyed our conversation, thank you!" she takes a glance towards Conner ( Conner Greyson ), not wanting to interrupt his conversation, but knowing it was important he meet a new family member.

At the mention of Martha, Daniella glances over, then back to Eliot to answer his question, “Well, I would hate to give it away! If she wanted you to guess, perhaps you should.” A playful tone to her voice, she laughs lightly, “And those are three very fine clans. I ask what your instincts tell you, Herald Villiers is a very fine woman, and would be an assist to each of those families. Did she give you any clues or ideas?” Daniella was clearly amused by Martha leaving Eliot to guess. “Does your experience with her lead you to one clan over another?” she gives him a slight wink, she wasn't avoiding his question, but going along with what Martha asked him.

At the question of learning another Families powers, she shakes her head, “Family secrets and disciplines are closely guarded, and many have forbidden the teaching of them to anyone outside their family. I am not sure what the Gangrel stance is on sharing them, that would be a question to ask of their Priscus,” glance towards Dillon ( Dillon Connery ), with a nod of her head, “Priscus Connery.” She raises her eyebrows at the mention of teaching some Obfuscate, “I see the benefits of what you are saying, one for one. But before teaching any disciplines, I would like to tell you that Priscus Greyson has forbid anyone from teaching Auspex without his permission. I do not know his stance on Obfuscate, and ask you to address it with him before making any deals for disciplines.” Her tone suggesting that was all she would say on the matter. While it was not as guarded as Auspex, it was still something better left to be decided by Conner.

"As you say Bailiff Sage, I truly appreciated our conversation and hope the time when we can change words will come again soon." Eliot replies while taking some time to go throught what was just said.

"Regarding Herald Villiers clan, She didnt quite "feel" like a Ventrue normaly does, something with her personality and demanor felt like she could very well be either a Daeva or Mekhet but without any hints Id say Mekhet, solely based on the fact that I didnt feel any beast when first meeting her which implyes she has a certain mastery over Obfuscate, one of our Clan disciplines. When concerning her covenant I cant really say without a hint, I just dont know enought about her to make a desent suggestion so Ill probably let that one question slip for now and return to it ones Ive learnt to know Herald Villiers better."

"Finally, concerning the question about learning and teaching disciplines, I will do as you suggested and speak to Priscus Greyson and Priscus Connery about a deal where I and a member of clan Gangrel teaches eachother a discipline for a discipline. I think this is the fairest way of doing things and also the mostly acceptable proposal we could make. In this way both sides strenghten our members as well as the cooperation between our families. I hope the Prisci finds this a fair and useful deal to both sides."

With this said Eliot fell silent for a while before asking: "Well then, shall we go and greet Priscus Greyson? Im sure he expects any newcomers to the domain belonging to his family to seek him out at first opportunity" while raising an arm for Bailiff Sage to hold on to and escort her over to the Mekhet Priscus.

**Daniella Sage** · Nov 28th, 2011 05:40 PM

Daniellas eye light up as she listens to him, a smile appearing, “Seems like a good point, though I have met some Kindred with Obfuscate who were not Shadows. But I like it, seems like you have given it some thought, I am sure she will be delighted to hear what you have come up with!” placing a finger to her lips as she thinks, removing it after a second, “I think getting to know her better would be a good choice. She is a lovely lady, very intelligent and friendly.”

Nodding her head, she was pleased he was going to take it up with Conner. As he extends his arm, she will take it, giving a slight bow of her head, “Thank you!” clearly impressed with the gesture. “Yes, it is always good etiquette to seek out ones Priscus and make introductions.” Her smile warm and friendly.
