Message: <blockquote data-quote="Catulle" data-source="post: 829858" data-attributes="member: 9942">Crown Plaza Hotel, Montague Family Suite – The StudyWednesday 11th December, 2002(OOC - Sabrina Awe diff7 - 9,8,4,2 = 2 successes) This time,  Nathaniel did reach out to the girl, offering her his arms to pick her up out of the chair, scooping the tiny weight up and holding her to him. When he spoke, he mollified the natural harshness of his voice to a dry calm that echoed Sabrina's sobs."Sabrina. Very little is fair in this world. Caitlyn... Ms Tran, is mortal, and as such outside the world of our Kindred. Vychtorya is the childe of an elder of high standing, and a different standard must apply." He looked about to add something else, but perhaps thought better of it. The pause lengthened almost to discomfort, before he continued, "You are my neice, Montague despite your Brujah blood, and I would raise you by my standards. To use our disciplines is a sign of desperation, of action required where finesse has failed. The wielder disrespects his -or her- chosen target, if that target is Kindred, for by swaying their mind, he or she has effectively deemed that target beyond reason. That insult may prove lethal in our society over time."He shook his head, and with the gesture, his long, unbound locks partly enveloped Sabrina, a flowing cloak of dark thread. She could smell him all around her, now. "With mortals, the kine, the matter of finesse still stands, the matter of giving offence less so; our first commandment, laid down five hundred years ago by Mr Ashton's ancestor, demands secrecy. To interfere too much with a mind too quickly might bring a mortal to the point of suspicion - or madness. Neither is an acceptable state of affairs, and I would look poorly indeed upon any who assailed that girl's sanity in the knowledge of her actions' consequence."He gave a smile that fell a little shy of reassuring, despite his likely intentions. "I could command your obedience and enforce it through my will, or sway you to my cause through mastery of my clan's disciplines. I will not, however, because you are worthy of better treatment than that. Others, you will find, are less deserving. It saddens me to say that you will generally find them amongst the Brujah that created you, and I hope you will not fall to their base instincts."</blockquote>
