    Dry grass crunched under David's foot as he moved towards the waterfront. His leather satchel sat, collapsed in on itself nearby and a pea-green bike leaned up against the walls of the Chapter House. A still night, the stars twinkled against the indigo blue-black sky and the moon's ever mutable face watched down with her usual impassivity.

    Bending, David used his sharpened eyesight to pick up one small, rounded rock and then another. He tossed them up into the air to test their heft.

    The Mortician was stealing time for himself to gather his thoughts of which there were many. The chill and slight wind in the air was a welcomed change of pace from the stillness of the perfectly regulated air in the Library. In addition, the sound of the water against the bank was something David took solace in; it was the only thing more immortal than himself. The Long Night continued on apace, and its ministrations in Sacramento swept David up wholly. The Mortician didn't expect to find valued stability so quickly, but he thanked Osiris for it.

    David's Companion hissed in his ear and David frowned.

    As a response to his Companion, the Shadow flicked the first stone onto the water. The spin on it was good and it skipped once, twice, before it fell into the water with a quiet thunk.

    The response made the Companion guffaw, chiding David as a parent would a child who knows what their child said was a lie. David glanced up towards the windows of the Library and seeing only the flutter of the white sheer curtains.

    The question the Companion asked next, David could not answer.

    It laughed as David flicked another stone into the water, only gaining one skip out of it before it fell, unceremoniously, into the water.

    Liara pulled up in her car and lifted her brace bound left leg out of the car before lifting herself from the car and grabbing her cane before shutting the door. The alarm chirped as she pressed the button on the remote while walking toward David. She was clad in red heels, short shorts, a black and red tank top, and a black fur trimmed jacket. She had procured a cane made from hickory wood. "Evening. Nice night for skipping stones?" she smiled at him as she moved to stand next to him, propping herself a bit on her cane.

    Anabella struts towards the designated location like the sidewalk were a catwalk - if she weren't so short, it might be more imposing, but she certainly has the "it" factor down. The thick heels of her ankle boots clack with every step, as though to announce her to anyone who hadn't already been looking. Her legs are covered in surprisingly conservative slacks, and the crisp white shirt she had might make her seem more studious if she hadn't opted for a red, sparkling layer atop it. There was a book sticking out the top of her large, wine-coloured handbag, however.

    Seeing the other two in front, she presumed they quite likely belonged there. Then, drawing close enough to feel what one of them was really like, she briefly entertained the notion her Sin suggested; She could simply drain the redhead dry and claim this land for herself. It was just a fleeting notion, though.

    So, in place of theoretical homicide (Is it murder still if they already died once?), she proceeds over to the legbrace-bearer and the well dressed man beside her. There was no sense dwelling on what was done, so she greets Liara first. "Good evening," she remarks with politeness, but her eyes weren't necessarily on the same page about decorum as she seemed to be inspecting the one before her like an inanimate object.

    From a high window Martha had watched David. She'd enjoyed watching his contemplations and skimming of stones.

    Seeing the headlamps of a car approach, Martha began to make her way down to the garden to meet her fellow Dragons.

    Wrapping her fully black long velvet hooded cloak about her, her cane gripped underneath, she limped hard. Hobbling across the lawn to playfully sneak up on David.

    But, such is Martha's hobbling, Liara and Ana get there first.

    She offers a cheery wave of her cane to greet her fellows.

    It's obvious that Martha seems to have adopted this costume as a regular feature of her wardrobe...a pair of thigh high boots and long leather gloves are obvious.





    "Good evening, one and all!" she adds cheerily, "I hope you are all well!" a happy smile to David, Ana and her shoes and then Liara's shorts and shoes.

    Liara looked at the new girl and looked her over as well. "Good evening to you as well," she purred before turning to her mentor. "Good evening to you too, Grand Wyrm. I hope the night finds you well."

    Nodding a greeting Martha added; "Ah, good evening, Miss! Good evening!"

    "I see we have quite a gathering! I would like to introduce Miss Anabella Prieto and Miss Liara Shepard...may I introduce Mr David Regan. Mr Regan is one of our most enthusiastic and innovative scholars!"
    she added with obvious pride in having David present and amongst their number.

    As she speaks she swirls her cloak in a playful, theatrical, gesture.

    Unlike their Kine counterparts, the Kindred's Meek do not inherit the Earth. David was one of them, double-taking towards Liara while fixing the sleeves of his blazer that sat over his zip hood jacket. Liara's sudden appearance took David by surprise and only at his second look towards the woman did he recognize her from Court. Stepping away from her – as much an attempt to reclaim a bit of personal space as a motion to pick up another stone – he answers, “Yes, I think so ma'am.

    Though, when he flicked the stone it clumsily dropped into the water instead of skipping at all.

    Hearing Ana's voice causes a bit of deja vu and David turns towards her, recognition in his features. Nodding he adds, “Good evening, Miss Prieto.” His manner reverting to his imitable politeness that he attempted back at the movie theater.

    But, it is Martha's arrival that gathers up David's full attention. Shifting to see her, cape and all, he offers a quick hand salute and a fleeting, closed lipped smile in response to her happy one. “Good evening, Grand Wyrm.” Now that the red-haired woman has a name he includes her, “Miss Shepard.” The palpable pride Martha took in David simply being there, a member of their Academy, made taciturn David look towards the ground, ruffling his own hair; his bashfulness showing through. Returning his gaze towards Martha David says, “Thank you for the introductions, Grand Wyrm, as luck would have it, I've run across Miss Prieto before.

    A black button down hangs loosely on Joseph as he takes the final corner to the Chapter House. Two years of frantic moving, hunting, and running has given the Ventrue a new appreciation for a quiet walk. Blue jeans and black sneakers complete the clean but relaxed attire, the only subtle aspect is the dark blue shirt Joseph wears under the collared button down. The Beast pulls his attention towards the waterfront near Joseph's home from home. Seeing several familiar faces he smiles and raises a hand in greeting.

    "Evening!"

    "Indeed, I've made his very pleasant acquaintance before," Ana replies, but offers a hand to Ms Shepard, "It is nice to meet you."

    "And it is always an indescribable pleasure to be in your company, Grand Wyrm,"
    she adds as soon as her polite handshake is accepted or rejected by Liara, it made no difference really. She was quite obviously more focused on Martha than anyone else.

    Liara accepted Ana's handshake with a smile. "Such a nice night," she said as she reached into her purse and pulled out her lipstick, touching up the crimson coloring on her lips.
