It did not take Wilhelm too long to find Misu. The park was not very big, so it was a simple matter of walking around until he found the person his beast urged him to shred. The Predator's Taint could be a bit useful once one got past that initial reaction, after all. "And would you be Misu, or Grey?"
Grey walks through McKinley park at a calm pace. He was enshrouded by shadow as he walked through the trees. He looked up at the moon and felt the reflection of the light off of his Mask. Grey was unconcerned about his meeting. He was not here to impress. Acknowledgment was a necessary evil of Kindred culture. And as long as everything goes well, this will be the last time he would need to be acknowledged.
Grey felt another predator out there. Another predator his did not care for. But his Beast, his beast was a fickle little monster. A monster that Grey quickly slapped back into its tiny dark hole.
Grey looked around the park and saw no others as he stepped behind a large grouping of Bushes and then stepped out of the shadows that surrounded him. His Jacket wrapped around him and closed with his hood up. Grey was not foolish of course. A throwing knife was in a wrist holster on the inside of each of his wrists.
Grey continued to walk slowly toward the Kindred who's beast he felt and the Other man, whom Grey assumed was the Priscus Von Schusten he was looking for. Grey kept a respectful distance and said, "Good Evening."

Wilhelm turned as he heard the new arrival, idly noting the man's mode of dress. He did not really understood why some seemed to think that covering themselves in such a manner helped them escape attention. In reality, they stuck out like a sore thumb and attracted it. But there were those who did not seem to think things through. "You would be Grey, I presume?"
"Yes, Priscus Von Schusten." Grey said sizing the man up. He was very much a shadow. Grey could see it in his eyes. Eyes that have seen death. Grey gives a nod of his masked head to both the Shadows standing before him.

"Very well," Wilhelm's stance shifted slightly, centering his balance. Though his hands made no move towards a weapon, obfuscated or otherwise. "If you would be so kind as to remove your mask we can begin." It does not particularly sound like a suggestion.
Grey thought for a moment, looking between the two. Breathing Deeply he takes his hands,
No No No No, Do not remove your face.
Grey heard the voice. It was not the first time that voice had echoed into head. Grey assumed it was the voice of the monster within. The monster that had drove him to kill his abuser. The monster that laughed as Grey, no Conner, Removed the throat of his own father, forcibly, with his teeth, and then cremated the body.
shhhhh huh monster, this will only take a moment...
they will kill you, I am your only protection
quiet. I am in control
for now...
Grey reached back and, lowered his hood, undid a clasp and removed his mask...
Grey without his mask
With his mask removed he looked up, his black, empty eyes looking into the Priscus' eyes. He said nothing, words need not be said...

Misu's eyes glaze over and he wanders off.

Wilhelm repressed a small, triumphant, smile as Grey removed his mask. And eased into a slightly more relaxed stance. "So tell me Grey, what brings you to Sacramento?"
Grey replaces his mask, the clip making a small silent click.
good good good, we are safe again....
"I am from Sacramento, I have Returned Home." is all the masked man says. Behind his mask he too hides a small smile. But it was not a smile directed at the Priscus but a smile directed at the Monster within him, and Grey's ability to control that monster and keep dominince over it.
