Esther measures the moment and then nods. "Very well, Angela. I will take your lead on this," she agrees, closing the door and shutting it with her foot to stand sentry with the other woman.
"So what happened?"

"Remy was in the trunk of a car, not your car. I got him out and he kicked me for my effort. I asked who and why, he didn't know. I told Remy I was bringing him back here to see you, and he ran. He was terrified of having to face you, Esther."
Angela let that sink in and sighed out before continuing. "I chased him down once, while I was putting him in the car, he broke form my hold and ran, again. So I let him run. Remy will turn up, probably at his home or some place he feels safe."

"Terrified? Of me?" Esther's brow furrows as her mind works. "This is not good. I will have to deal with this. He could ruin a great deal - ruin my business, ruin our peace, and if that happens...Sebastian will see him thrown to his dogs."
She sighs. "Never again. No more trysts with humans I can't control. I'll stick to my bored wives' club and that'll be that. Less fun but infinitely less trouble."

A wisp of chill creeps down Esther's back, slithering down to the heels of her elegant shoes. The moonlight spilling about her is tinged with bloody scarlet. The shadows seem so deep, so cold, so very --
-- did that one move?

Instinctively, Esther moves closer to the center of atrium created by the belltower's pillars, which is more brightly light with fluorescents.
This needs to be over. She needs this to be over.

Like curling smoke, the shadows turn and twist. They flow together, and a gnarled hand reaches forward so slowly into the light of the buzzing fluorescent bulbs. The bulbs flicker, clicking softly - like teeth. The closer the hand comes, the longer its fingers stretch, curling into claws.

Esther watches the shadowy hand unblinkingly. She is in public, cast in the strobe of the flickering lights. Even so. The blood in her veins begins to thrum, her clan's gift sparking within her.

Angela pulled her weapon, the metal of the gun catching the red gleam of the blood moonlight. Breaking the masquerade wasn't on her list of priorities as both woman were trapped like rats in a high tower. But still, a gun was better then baring fangs.
Angela pushed her blood through her body, feeling her skin and blood come alive as she felt more protected and secure.
The young Venture moved slowly to the side as if to flank the creature attached to the claws. Angela lifted her weapon and took aim, her finger resting along the side of the trigger guard.

The walk from his haven to the location that the two women had given him was not a simple skip across a block, it was a mile plus easy. The perks of having a haven out of the city was the solitude, the downside was when someone snuck a phone on you and reminded you of responsibilities. Esther was going to be on the receiving end of some choice words, but the Gangrel had been away from he others for some time now and with his wounds healed finally ... what was the harm?
So, how does an overtly suspicious irish charmer make his way through the outskirts and around mortals? By acting even more overt, to the point it became covert; and possibly made him look like a fool. The gangrel didn't care though, if people were going to pull him out of his haven and from the solace of his thoughts and silence, he was going to make it enjoyable at least.
About a block worth of distance away from his intended target, the kindred would turn to look up at the Great Grey Owl and say a few choice words, quietly. After the commands, the owl would take flight from his shoulder and ascend upwards into the sky to begin its circling pattern; making sure to stay high up and out of sight but keep its eyes on the ground. Aodhfin would reach down into the pocket of his second-favorite brown leather jacket, having lost the first to Angela Sisco in a bet, and pull out a rather curious device most of today's youth would have never had the joy of knowing, "We are going to rock this, here is to a good time ... "
Pressing play, Aodhfin would make his way towards the target.
~ A few moments later
"TAKEEEE ONNN MEEEEE, take on me, TAKEEEEEE MEEEEE ONNNNN, take on me, I'LL BE GONEEEEEEE, du-du-du ....... DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU," Aodhfin sang (read: shouted). The kindred snapped his fingers to the tone and beat of the song, even matching his steps to the rather quick tempo of the magical keyboardist: Magne Furuholmen. With the Discman playing, and thoughts of the rather catchy tune, Aodhfin was practically deaf to the outside world and yet his eyes were oddly focused as he took those steps, especially one Mags started to play his solo—both hands snapping fingers like he was part of a more up-beat and magical west-side story.
Aodhfin has arrived.
Ooc: 1 vitae for Owl's Presence, Feral Whispers used, not expecting combat but is expecting trouble, 1 armor (from jacket) Ooc: No weapons current held, 5 Vitae left, and will frenzy if anyone causes that discman to skip (seriously ... sort of) Ooc: If there is a visible threat to Esther or Angela, consider his action dropping 'Killer Instinct' to draw all attention to himself (bumps to BP 6/7)

((Esther is at 14 initiative - 8 + 4 + 2 Celerity)) Esther growls deep in her throat. "Like hell we are letting THEM choose the battle ground!" Reaching for Angela, she easily grabs up the Ventrue and blurs away. ((Adding Vigor to Strength = STR 4. Celerity 2 to get away with Angela. Please, let me know if I have done anything wrongly.))

Aodhfin simply came to a stop outside of the structure and raised a brow; unaware of anything that was going on. The kindred pushed his arm outward, as if to check his watch, and just grunted when he remembered he didn't actually own a watch. The gangrel brought a thumb up to his lips, proceeded to lick it, and then extended his arm upwards towards the sky to try and gauge the time in a completely facile way, "Oh lookie at the time, it's where-the-fuck-is-everyone ... o'clock."
Once his arm was back at his side, the irish devil licked his own lips and just shook his head, "Seriously, where the fuck is everyone. You snuck a phone on me, I made an ass of myself trying to figure out how to use it, and now no one is here." Tapping his foot lightly, the kindred would pause and sniff the air, as if at least trying to get a whiff of someone that may have been nearby.
Initiative: 16 ( 10 + 6 )Action: Holding (Aodhfin is outside, unaware of what is occurring at the moment ... i'm guessing )
