Confidants: Pursuit of the Sisters

[Seryna]

The Kindred who followed the poachers out of the bar and into the street should post into this thread.

The sisters move out of the bar and into the street. They look over the city street for a moment and then stop right outside of the restaurant. They turn to face Alessandra and Raul. This confrontation poses a tricky situation for all of you are in sight of those in the bar and Kine walking by on the streets. What do you do?

• You must post within 24 hours of the turn before your own or be considered to have Held your action.

[Raul]

"Ladies, ladies..." he says, approaching slowly, trying to make it nonchalant as can be. "Do we really need to do this, here?" he asks, glancing around to see if anyone is directly paying attention to the group as they get out onto the street. He slips a hand into his pocket, trying to be as casual about it as possible as he grips the pair of handcuffs he has in his pocket.

[Alessandra]

The Italian follows, not impressed at all by the turn of events.

But this was still a public, very public, location, and words had to be carefully chosen.

Letting Raul say what he wanted, she stands, looking at the sisters,

“You know, there is a civilized, adult way to go about this, right? One that doesn’t involve me calling bosses.” One, herself, was already there. But if she needed to reach out to the Prince of these two, she would. But if she sounded bored, it was because she was. No one could own up to their own fucking mistakes, everyone had to run and try to cover them up.

Pathetic.

[Seryna]

"It appears to me that we are to be taken into custody and submitted to violence, ma'am. Are we to face proof of the accusations against us?"
Even now, the dark haired, sharp featured kindred speaks to Alessandra's ear. Facing the Elder's gaze appeared to be too much. The speaker watched Alessandra.
The other stood beside her sister, glancing around.

[Raul]

The Savage keeps his voice at a volume that only the four of them can hear, keeping an alert eye out for all the Kine around them. "It doesn't have to be violence. We can all be civil here, right?" he asks, glancing towards the three women around him in time. He is still standing ready for the violence if and when it comes.

[Alessandra]

The Savage simply looks at them for a moment, not sure what she was hearing.

Then looking to Raul, “Who said anything about violence?” back to the two sisters, “I certainly didn’t.” she enjoyed violence, and didn’t get to partake in it nearly enough, but there was a time and place. “There are always two sides to every story, with the truth somewhere in the middle. We wanted to speak with you to get your side of the incident and go from there.” Did it look good for them? Not really. But Ale was fair, willing to hear what they had to say.

Back to her Cousin, “Civil is always the best course of action.” Especially when standing outside with cattle around. “And one that is preferred.”

[Seryna]

The kindred speaking with Alessandra frowned. She appeared to be conflicted. She shifted her weight to one foot uneasily and back again. A glance was shot to Raul. Weighing him for a moment. The second woman looks around the group, appearing unhappy.
"We have done our best to expose the liar, Baker, and his poor ilk, Rowland. These two fine people seem open, sister."
Her eyes returned to the Alder Prince.
"Then if no violence is to occur to the three of us, we shall surrender to you, Lady." A deep nod to the Gangrel. Although fear danced in those eyes.
Both women open their hands to show their palms, hanging by their sides. They slowly approach Raul and stand three feet from him.

[Raul]

Raul nods to the woman who looks to him. He's trying to look as unthreatening as he can at the moment. With the cattle all around them, he doesn't want to spook them and then there's also the impression he's trying to give to the two poachers. His Beast is telling him other things, wanting to show these ladies just how dangerous he can be, but he is in control at the moment and there's a much larger Beast next to him as it is. If there's anyone to be truly afraid of...

When they step towards him, he steps to the side, offering them an entrance back into the bar, back into civility, though it's unlikely they will be staying there long now that they have all three sisters in custody. That entrance will put them going between the two Gangrel, a likely unsettling prospect but it is what it is. "After you, ladies."

[Alessandra]

The urge to roll her eyes was strong, they already mention something similar.

Her Beast got pleasure from the fear in the eyes, it should be there. The Savage was not a Kindred to be messed with.

Though it was amusing how they approached Raul and not her. Maybe they weren’t as ignorant as they appeared.

“We’ll touch base with our associate and move the conversation to a more private setting.” She needed to be able to talk freely to get to the bottom of this. And she lacked the patience to try and find Kine appropriate words.

Ale will follow behind the sisters and Raul. Having someone behind her was never something she was comfortable with. Not that she thought Raul was going to try anything, but old habits die hard.

[Seryna]

The group of four moves to a separate location, the Masquerade kept intact.

Where are you going? Are the prisoners going to be confined somewhere before dawn?
