"Take the time. Covenants are easy to join, but hard to leave once you know their secrets."
Lina figured the Dragons might be a good fit for Elettra as well. However, as she spoke on her youth, she knew it was also true that the gravity of consequences for betraying a Covenant might not yet have sunk in. Had she seen violence, real violence? Did she know the real jealousy of the Kindred heart? What was she old enough to understand? What lessons still needed to come in time?
Moretti didn't have a childe. She didn't know what it was to raise a baby vampire, not like that. She created Dragons, not young Kindred.
"The fact that you acknowledge that is a good place to start. The greatest power is being aware of how much - or how little - one knows so that the blind spots can't sneak up due to hubris. Security is easily found within a powerful Covenant and the right alliances. The guidance... that's harder. Especially since everyone seeks advantage. Kindred are not kind. No matter how much they might believe they are, or how much they pretend." She shrugged. "I am no exception. However, if what you seek is guidance knowing that I expect loyalty and support for my objectives in return... well. Then there is an option for you."
