Konrad seems indifferent to the answer, which could be a good thing. "A Kine, huh?" he repeats idly. "We're all looking for Kine. Part of the bread n' butter. But don't go taking your fill just yet. Acknowledgement brings with it Feeding Rights among other things. And before I can Acknowledge you I gotta make sure you understand the rules here. So pay attention."
The Savage notes his cousin's gaze about the room, wondering if Ross were even listening or caring about what is being said to him. If Ross doesn't look at him, Konrad will snap his fingers at whatever direction Ross's head is turned.
"Important. You are only to feed within the Communal Zone. Everything from Sacramento Airport to most of Arden Arcade and South till Franklin. Citrus Heights is off limits as its territory granted to Regent Erika Brady. You want to discuss feeding rights with her be my guest. And stay out of the Rack. That's W street to J street and 5th to 29th. Those grounds are granted to those with Prince Clarke's favor. You get caught poaching there and I'll ash you myself."
"As for a place to stay, you're allowed one shelter for yourself. If you want more than one or something luxurious or the right to start your own business then you gotta earn Tenancy Rights, which are typically awarded by His Grace or myself to respected Clanmates."
"As you might expect, there's no violence or use of Gifts of the Blood while in Elysium, with the exception of powers that mask our predatory natures. And you stay on your best behavior here. If you're not sure if you aught to say or do something then don't do it. You show respect to the Prince and his officers. If you have any more questions about etiquette you can ask the Elysium Keeper about it, Martha Villiers. She's that woman over there. I'd wait until she's done chatting with folks to bother her."
"While you're staying here in the Domain you're expected to attend every Court gathering or else we gotta go through this song and dance again. You honor the Traditions and the Laws of the Domain. You come to the Prince's aid, including participation in Blood Hunts. You do not feed on law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, or hospital employees because that attracts unwanted attention. You keep tabs on that bulletin by the entrance for written annoucements. And you report any signs or the Bloodline, Kallisti, as they're on the Prince's shitlist."
"I get that's a lot to take in, so if you're unclear on something you ask me about it. Could lead to problems otherwise. So, do you understand all that I've told you?"
