Blood Deep

[Jennifer Hazelton]

There were a few occasions where the changes in one's life were momentous. The Danse changed what sort of events would qualify or truly matter to a Kindred. Kindred themselves, Jennifer considered, were quite varied on what acquisitions and goals were judged to be worthwhile pursuits. This occasion - however - was important.
Jennifer had asked that Alessandra and herself set up a time to talk about important matters and Jennifer had made a request. Perhaps an odd one. Some time ago, Alessandra had offered Jennifer tutelage in a Blood Gift that Alessandra was adept in. Jennifer's realization over the behavior or some of the Domain residents had led to deeper reflection and personal growth on Jennifer's part. A part of this growth was delving deep into the meaning of Kindred and who Jennifer was as a Kindred, apart from the role of Notary in the First Estate. That role and even how the Covenant was composed was changing in these nights.

Jennifer as she was, at her core, was someone that she was spending time with delving through her innate abilities and then determining areas that did not come naturally to her. There were quite a few times where Jennifer had to push through barriers to break through to learn different Blood Gifts or lesser known Devotions, for the benefit of the First Estate. In this realization, Jennifer discovered a wonderous new Blood Gift from devotion and fortitude. As Jennifer had requested to use one of Alessandra's properties for the meeting, Jennifer arrived at the area that she had been given directions to.
The Nosferatu walked into the area as it was described and looked around for the Alder Prince.

Jennifer wouldn’t have to look far, for she would be greeted by Gabriel, who would take her deeper into the warehouse.

The Savage rarely conducted any business in the front of the warehouse. Even Court, when held there, was deeper within, a bit more secure. And that’s where Ale would be found, and where the Ghoul would lead the Haunt this night.

Ale was casual in black leather pants with a black tank top and leather jacket. Her Beast snarled at the approach of Jenn. Even though it should know her by now, it still disliked the weakness and wanted to show it was the stronger one here. But there would be none of that.

A nod to Gabriel, which was his signal of being dismissed. He would be walking around, securing the area and would alert her if there were any issues.

“Jenn, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer followed the way to Alessandra's voice. As Gabriel was sent to see to his duties, Jennifer gave a slight nod to him fitting for a ghoul.

"Hello." Jennifer greeted, behaving much more casually in body language and speech than she would normally. Caution around areas that were not Elysium or a secured Haven was a drive that had served her well. As moved the conversation to a secured area, Jennifer expanded the way that she spoke to not be infuriating.
"I have taken the time to focus on myself. This has included who I am, blood deep. This has led me to embracing my blood." Jennifer smiles. It is an earnest smile.
I have been exploring a new Gift. It is one that you offered to teach me and I have appreciated the offer."

It was rare that Jenn saw Ale outside with her guns, but tonight, the Savage did have both guns in her holster. So, there was a good chance the Italian had been attending to business before coming to the warehouse.

“That’s a good thing to hear, not many take the time to do that. There is a lot one can learn about themselves from doing that.” She had done that years ago, while on her own, traveling.

“Congratulations. And which one is that, I have offered to teach you a few.” It was true. So why the warehouse? Did Jenn want to show Ale the Gift?
