I assume that you already keep Carinus and Fernando fully stocked on Vitae.
If you want Sherazhina to be your ghoul though, now's the time. Or later, when you visit the Prince.

« on: January 30, 2015, 11:16:35 pm »"Carinus!" Kiril is obviously delighted to see his friend. "Carinus, this is Sherazhina, she's going to be joining us."
Kiril then proceeds to feed on the man, boy and pig, trying not to kill any of them. Once he was sufficiently replenished, he would offer his blood to Carinus and Sherazhina.
Carinus bows deeply to Sherazhina, kissing her hand as he does so.
Righting himself, he then says - "It is my pleasure to be your acquaintance, miss Sherazhina...?"
"Basarab, i'm from the Basarab family" the girl says, clearly enjoying the man's treatment.
Kiril goes to feed on the old man. He finds it incredibly difficult to stop himself from draining the man dry - his self control is stretched to its very limits, though he manages to hold the Beast at bay, just barely, While forcefully sucking out a good deal of blood. He notes that the child does not react to his draining of the old man. Moving on to said child, he continues slaking his thirsts - still fighting against the Beast, but with more notable success. It still refuses to give up though, straining against its cage.
When he has gotten what he can without risking the child's life, Kiril moves on to the pig - the foul creature's blood is like piss in his mouth after the old man and the boy (and they weren't exactly fine specimens to begin with) but Kiril still finds its blood somewhat nourishing.
Steeling his will, Kiril then finally manages to stave off the Beast, having kept his total control the entire time he was feeding.
Once he is done, Carinus enters Kiril's wagon to get a fine glass to drink from - Kiril believes it is the same one he'd used back at his home in Sofia.
Kiril's blood drips into the glass, and Carinus offers it to Sherazhina.
Warily, the revenant drinks from the glass. Her nostrils flare as it goes down her throat, and her eyes open rather wide as the potent blood strengthens her, intermingling itself with her human blood.
Carinus then drinks himself, showing no visible reaction the the blood.

I'm in the salt trade, but like to season that with other endeavors now and then - if you'll pardon the pun haha!"
The vampire grins at the pun.
"Clearly a man who enjoys good humour!" Prince Maurice exclaims.
"I take it you haven't met the Prince yet? I think i'd have remembered seeing you in his court. I'd be happy to introduce you."

Lucien, Kiril and Anton all, at this moment, pass by a tavern, recognizing the enclosed wagons. Carinus is also there, waiting with a dominated old man and a boy, along with a rather large pig.

Meanwhile, Heldric has just spotted Steeple's wagon, stopped by the side of a tavern called the House of the Red Hedgehog.
Kiril, Lucien and Anton have just departed for the edge of the river, and will soon arrive (after two posts from Heldric or Steeple)

Steeple
"Quite the name you have there. Excellent guess, yes, I'm a scribe, I work in humble service to Bela III."
He smiles devilishly when he says the word humble.
"I'm afraid I can't stay for long, but just a suggestion - be nice, he has many powerful friends, but he cannot trust them, nor should he."
With that, Anonymus promptly leaves the table, and exits the tavern.
Steeple soon finds that he is joined by a different man - he is dressed in gaudy clothes, but there is no other sign of wealth on his person. His eyes are warm and filled with laughter.
"Evening, I couldn't help but notice another Kindred in the city. I can't say i've ever seen you here before."
The comments are not hostile or interrogatory, rather it seems like an attempt to strike up conversation.
"Steeple Carson Olof Trevesky the Fourth," Steeple replies to the man, feeling more at ease now.
"A pleasure to meet you."
"So you are a chronicler or an illuminator of sorts then?"

The man lets out a hearty laugh, before continuing - now smiling at Steeple.
"It sounds like a story i'd love to tell someday. Excuse me, i'm Master P, though people often call me Anonymous. What's your name?"

« on: January 30, 2015, 03:09:56 pm »Meanwhile at the tavern, Steeple enjoys some light repast and good wine, having some sent out to his herd (who are watching the wagon and carriage outside).
The tavern is called "The House of the Red Hedgehog", and within, Steeple has been enjoying the general aura of revelry that encompasses the fine establishment.
Located between the castle and the church district, the Red Hedgehog is an inn catering to visiting nobles and people of wealth who wish to stay in the castle district of Buda rather than in the market area of Pest. Accommodations and food are said to be the best in the city, and the inn's division of its tavern portion into three smaller, linked areas makes each seem private without feeling closed in.
As he sits, scoping out the humans in the area, he notices a man dressed in a simple, dark monk's robe, his face shadowed by the robe's cowl, walking towards him. The man takes a seat across his table and sits there, doing absolutely nothing but starting at Steeple.
After a while, he talks - his voice is a rich, warm and captivating one - a storyteller's voice, in fact.
"Might you be willing to tell me how you lost your arm?"
His tone is curious.

Once in the more secure location, Drakalicious continues -
"Okay guys, do you think we could get something to defend ourselves with in the gym? Otherwise, I think we should just move straight into the viewing gallery for the combat training room and then into the hall that leads to the armory."

Carinus nods his thanks and looks to the two others.
"It seems my lord is unavailable at the moment, however you are both willing to wait here, yes?"
Heldric notes a bit of command in Carinus' voice. The cannibal repeats the statement to both the boy and the old man, and he deduces that the ghoul is dominating them into compliance.
They both nod their agreement and Carinus smiles a sharp smile.
Heldric then departs, to join Steeple in plot-limbo.

"Pleasure to meet you, lord Kiril."
Heldric
Out in the central market, Heldric notes that Steeple is gone. The slave auctions are now back on, with the auctioneer and his thugs now being extra-careful regarding the slaves. He also sees Carinus approaching with a young boy, and an old man, leading a cow. He looks about briefly before moving to Heldric and asking him - "Evening Heldric, would you be able to tell me where the good lord Kiril is?"

Kiril
The girl stands up now, to her full height, and pats at her ripped dress.
"I am fine, thank you. My name is Sherazhina Basarab. And you are no mortal man."
Kiril immediately recognizes the name as that of one of the most powerful Revenant families in all of Transylvania. As a revenant, the girl could be a useful servant... and could serve him well should they need to have any dealings with the family or its vampiric members in the future. Of course, he could also always just let her go.
"My family can pay you well for my rescue, be it in blood or gold. I will never forget the service you have done me."
Kiril spends will if necessary to refrain from attacking Lucien. "Can't you make him shut up?" he snaps towards Anton, before cautiously approaching the girl.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you," he says in Hungarian. "I was trying to keep that man from taking you away."
If she seems okay, he'll continue. "I'm Kiril- what's your name?"
