Continuing to research the rune

Henry, Pua, & Skylar leave the meeting with the coterie and head to Virág's estate - calling ahead of time.  Pua & Skylar stay with the car while Henry heads inside.  Once in the waiting room, Henry will, again, peruse the books while he waits on Virág's arrival.

Virag will require you to wait around 20 minutes. Jeffery will provide refreshments for the servants and offer to collect what ever you need prior to his master's arrival. While he is back on his feet, his movements remain labored but he offers no complaint.

Most of the books in Virag's library have been tended recently, it is not possible to see what topics your sire has been reviewing over the last couple nights. His desk is once again in order. Virag will enter silently. He has re-sculpted himself into a nightmarish work of art with the precision you can only marvel at. He will wait for you to notice him before speaking.

*If your ghouls wait with you they will need to make a courage check to remain in his presence.

(Pua & Skylar remained with the car.)

  Henry will give Virág a light bow in greeting.
    
"Good evening, Sire.  Thank you for meeting with me.  How do you fare this evening?"

Henry's doing his best to remember and practice the protocols Virág taught him and Skylar while living there shortly after Henry was Embraced.

Cha + Etiquette:  10, 2, 4, 5, 7, 7
Reroll of 10 for Cha specialty of "Trustworthy":  10

Virag will provide a brief nod in your direction before extending his arm toward a chair.

"Better than fare. I trust you are staying focused?"

Henry will sit and shrug a little at the question.

   "I've been striving for focus, but in the chaos that's been the last month or so - it's been more than difficult.  The task given to us by the Prince seems nigh impossible, yet we continue.  With every sliver of information, a pile of new questions arises.  I understand the ultimate goal is to eliminate the threat to the city's Camarilla control, but without more assistance and resources from more.... established... Kindred, I don't see how this is possible."

Henry takes an unnecessary deep breath to steady himself.

   "My apologies, sir.  I'm sure that's much more of an answer than you were looking for."

He looks around the newly tidied reading room.

   "It's good to see things more.... traditional... here.   Is it safe to claim that the rune's grip on you has decreased since the blood transfusion?"

Virag nods. "It continues to dissipate, yet I can still hear the whispers tempting me toward chaos. I agree your task is daunting." Virag will pause a moment, fixating on one of the book bindings behind you. "Perhaps these are just the whispers, however I would ask myself what is the gain of turning someone against Michael? How long has this resistance been successful against him and to what end?"
