Thread: A Meeting (ATTN: Constantino 1/13/10

Corin receives a response from Constantino.

"I will be there shortly."

About fifteen minutes later Constantino enters the cathedral and before acknowledging anyone walks up to the prayer candles at the front and slips a hundred into the offering box. He lights one candle and kneels. Moments later, he crosses himself and returns to the back pew. Taking a seat next to her he speaks softly.

"Pleasure to see you again, Ms. Corin. How can I be of service this evening?"

She smiles at him when he sits next to her.

"It is good to see you Constantino. Thank you for coming."

She looks around to make sure that the area is private enough. She then turns back to him and speaks to him, in a low whisper, in Italian.

"I was wondering if you by any chance know why the Sabbat burned down your club. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to get into your family's private affairs, but I was wondering if by chance they were seeking retrebution for something."

She will sit there looking him in the eyes.

Constantino bows his head.

"At this point, your guess is as good as mine. I've never really had any direct dealings with the sabbat. Although I'm sure most of the kindred in this town would assume otherwise. I can see no real reason for them to come after me."

Tino looks up the crucifix at the front.

"The powers that be asked me the same question. Sadly, Principe Scatallia is probably the only member of the court that would believe me."

She nods, then looks down at the ground.

"It's an unfortunate thing that happened, and even more unfortunate that it's not likely anyone would believe you. I am happy to know that you and your family turned out to be okay."

She looks back at him.

"Do you plan to rebuild?"

"Thank you, for your concern."

Constantino looks around the cathedral for a moment before answering her last question.

"I haven't decided yet. I have my cousins looking into the matter. Not sure if there is really interest, or if another club is where my funds should be tied up at this time. But should it turn out that it would be in demand by the denizens of this city, then I suspect we will rebuild."

"Surely the club was not a bad thing to put money into?"

She tilts her head slightly.
