An entertainer?
He can certainly see it; he sees it in her playful yet attentive eyes and hears it in her voice with his all-too observant hearing. He thinks back to how she strode confidently down the aisle at Communion. Yes, he can see Adeline being a very influential artist in her own right. Ah. The road not taken. “Regrettably, I haven’t seen many Kindred take up performance art as more than a ruse to lure in prey.” Kindred and Human. “Though perhaps there’s room for change there?” He offers a compliment to his guest, and a well-meaning one.
Her expression remains steadily on him, and for a moment Conner wonders if Adeline has lost the will for words. But she hasn’t; and the shoe finally drops. I knew it. His expression changes a bit when she mentions her ‘impertinence’. A firm, chiding set-lipped face. “You’re not being impertinent, Adeline.”Something rises in him; something drawn from a deep-seated worry that self-loathing would lead to something bad. “Your questions are important, and I’m honored that you’re here spending your time finding answers to them. I will never fault you for that, nor should anyone else.” He recovers a bit. He’d almost imagined her shorter, with blue hair and spiky disposition.
“I can’t say I wouldn’t be excited if you chose to join the Lancea Sanctum, but your choice is yours and yours alone.” He says this with quiet conviction. “All I’ll say is that I can promise that the Lancea can offer not just knowledge or power, but a family. Or as close to one as Kindred can have. That’s my story with the Covenant. And I’d hope it could be your story as well.”
