“I’ll appoint a replacement within the month, Sire,” Kennethconcededanswered.
“Only if you take someone with you.” The new Seneschal agreed to Konrad’s suggestion but he wasn’t about to send him without back up in case things turned violent (as they tended to around the Gangrel when they rushed off headless to danger) and to protect him against any attempt at Domination. “However, don’t confront her if you don’t need to. Let her leave the city peacefully.” Assuming Sterling would allow such a pacific confrontation.

“Sheriff Cross,” he said “I want you to take Miss Titiania, our newest family member,” he said indicating the woman whose flowery stench occasionally wafted even to their group “Seek out the ghoul. Assess whether it is a risk or if some use can still be made of her. Bring her to me with your recommendation once you have it.” That was, if 'it' (had to at least pretend this wasn't a human they were taking about) didn’t leave with Josephine. For an abandoned ghoul there were only two options for the poor woman. A new master to feed their blood addiction, or death. It would also allow the burned man to assess Titiana. Plus if Cross did leave right away he didn’t want to sacrifice more of the court’s security than was needed.
