That's a good point," Jordan says. "I guess I'm just used to how Arundel took a more proactive position on things like this. Corliss almost seems distracted. And she keeps talking to that Tremere I've never seen before." She points at Trevor as he gesticulates animatedly to emphasize whatever it is that he's talking about. "He seems nice enough, but your sire doesn't spend that long speaking to someone just for the sake of their company."
"It's not so much that I want to freak out about every new Kindred in the city," Jordan says. "It's just the way he seems to have her ear. Maybe they're old friends? It's possible."
You try to imagine your sire associating with casual acquaintances. It's a hard-sell.
Jordan sees it in your face. "Yeah, I don't think so either." She turns away from the rest of the room and gives you her full attention. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. After the business with Qui earlier tonight I thought I should maybe try to be a little more aware of my surroundings. Melody always worried that I was going to get myself hurt by not paying close enough attention in Court."
This is the first time Jordan has mentioned her Gangrel ally in years. You know they were close when she was a fledgling, but that's about it. "Where did she end up going?" you ask, curiosity piqued.
Jordan smiles. "Long story. Why don't you come over tonight and I'll tell you all about it if you want. I could use the company; this business with Vivian's crucifixion has me a little freaked out."
