Angela crossed her arms, "Esther, I've seen the webs you weaved. You can avoid them or set them on fire. You have a silver tongue and that is very dangerous in our community. But if you fear for your safety, report her to Ainswroth have her looked into. It is his job to watch over his flock."
Was that disdain dripping from her lips?
"If anything, get Aodhfin to post at your haven. Because what happen to us on campus, can't happen again. That's was clearly a warning to you, Esther."

"I've always lived in fear for my life, either from the Second or the First Estate," Esther replies, turning dark, glittering eyes on her friend again.
"And I am tired. Tired of running, tired of fearing, tired of letting them frighten me." She fairly trembles with the words, "If this flame-haired bitch was to come after me, let her come! I am no helpless kitten. And I'm done!" Her fangs itch and peek out a bit.
"But you are absolutely right: Sebastian should know. We cannot have anymore killings like this. I will speak to him tomorrow."

((Sorry for the delay))
Angela smiled a bit, seeing the anger fuel her and push away Esther's fear.
"You're not a kitten, Esther. You're a blood thirty monster. We all are. Some times, you have to tap into that monster to survive." The young Venture stepped closer to the beauty in red.
"But in case you can't, be prepared to defend yourself, with any means."

"I am," Esther replies. "Thankfully, Phineas had a fondness for weapons, being a soldier, and I brought some of them with me when I left St. Louis," she informs her friend.
She gives herself a few moments to calm down, for the itching in her gums to stop.
"Thank you, Angela. I will need to go speak with Sebastian about our new fundamentalist friend."

Angela nodded, "anything I can do to help, you know I'll be there."
She smiled in an attempt to offer comfort to her friend, though Esther's loneliness and fear would take more to conquer than a simple promise. "Is something else going on, Esther?"
The young Venture studied her friend, trying not to be too obtrusive but she was concerned.

Esther muses at the softly lit, snow-dusted garden. "The same old same old, really," she replies, "Sebastian told me that he wanted to invest in the Orchid. Of course he has his own reasons for doing so, one of which is to tie me closer to him and gain my loyalty."
She scoffs softly. "At least he is forthright about it, I suppose," she adds, "His investment was...a healthy one and, as long as I can keep everything on the up and up, then things will go well."

"Of course he wants your loyalty. Being Harpy, that could come in handy, plus you in yourself, are an investment." Angela felt the icy chill of the snow fall trickling into her hood of her coat.
"If you feel used, quit. Walk away. Pack a bag and fly off to Paris. No one is stopping you anymore, Esther."
Esther could always count on Angela to be honest, even if she was blunt.

"I know," Esther replies and she looks at the brunette lovely forthrightly. "But I won't leave you here alone, Angela."

Angela smile, admiring Esther's loyalty after so many years of silence of the Venture's part.
"Thank you. But I'm not alone. I have the covenants to keep me company." She grinned then, her comment made in jest. "Never show fear, watch the shadows, and be your own Master." The young Venture didn't know if her advice would serve the Harpy well. After all, Angela had ended up more then six feet under. But that wouldn't stop the unaligned fang, to speak her mind.

"Oh, I intend to," Esther replies with a smoky smirk to Angela's wry reply, "Sebastian offered me the position for my honesty so, trust me, everyone shall...benefit from that."

Angela smiled.
"Thank you, for everything. You trusted me when I couldn't even trust myself."
Still don't
The young kindred had so much anger and distrust built up that it was going to get her killed sooner or later. Angela was hoping for the later; she still had work that needed to be done.

Esther seems a little taken aback by that but she smiles. A real smile. "You're welcome, Angela. It was the least I could do after all you have done for me," she replies quietly.

Angela rubbed her hand together in mock gesture of warming her skin.
"If you need me tomorrow night, let me know." There wasn't much else for the young kindred to talk about.

"I will let you know, yes," Esther agrees, nodding and slipping her hands back into her muff. "Thank you again, Angela."
