[QUOTE="Catulle, post: 825905, member: 9942"] [b]Crown Plaza Hotel, Montague Family Suite – The Study[/b] Wednesday 11th December, 2002 Once Caitlyn and Carrick had swept from the study, the hitherto motionless Mr Cooper trod carefully out, pulling the panelled doors shut with him. Despite the lack of sound, Sabrina knew the man would be waiting, patient as a statue, on the other side for just so long as Nathan wished him to do so. The stay in her uncle's arms was a brief one, as he settled her down quickly in the vast leather hollow that was his study chair. The elder Montague perched himself on a corner of his desk, expression quite serious as the child related her news, his eyes bearing close scrutiny to every inflection in his niece's speech. "Yes Sabrina. All of these things and more are part of the Montague blood. Ventrue blood, at least. Blood which you no longer share." His eyes studied, probed, and though his face gave nothing of his mood away, Sabrina was aware of a slight chill creeping into Nathaniel's tone, before he let out a sigh "But for that, at least, you bear no responsibility. The shame of the thing is done, but if what you say is true there may yet be hope for you." He paused to smooth back his loose hair from his scalp, though his eyes never left the girl. "It is considered... crass... to use the blood's gifts so freely. It is akin to using a shovel to swat a fly, for it tells our kindred that you are not sufficiently controlled to accomplish your goals without brute force, be that of personality or physique. To do so on Elysium as you did that night Calebros spoke would be most dangerous. You, we all, were fortunate that you were noticed doing so only by your family... and their closest allies. Do you understand this, Sabrina? Or need I be more explicit?" [/QUOTE]
