Re: Risky Business (Marie)
Franciscus slowly moved to a dust-laden seat in the small library, a look of impatience and worry on his face as he offered a similar seat to Marie. She got the feeling that the other vampire was rather unused to visitors, nor was he used to explaining his actions. Once Marie had indicated he should continue he took a moment to gather his thoughts before starting.
"My rivalry with the preacher as you call him goes back to the days of my youth. My cousin and I competed for everything: money, power, and perhaps most importantly the affection of my dearest Betje. I can still picture her fiery hair shining in the sunlight." Franciscus closed his eyes as he spoke surprising Marie with the genuine emotion in his voice as it lingered before his eyes fluttered open once more and he continued.
"Gerrit wanted to have everything that was his and everything that was mine, though I suppose I was no different. Our methods differ but we are very much equals in gaining whatever we want. Even before he became as we are now he had charisma that would put Satan to shame, and ability that has only grown through his use of majesty. Beyond that I would imagine he has a sufficient knowledge of the other powers used by the Ravnos. The perfect clan for one so used to tricking others into doing their dirty work."
