We are all monsters here

[Yorick Von Watenberg]

Yorick was waiting for June outside his church. The streets weren't particularly crowded. But an ardent secarian Yorick didn't take any chances with the masqurade. He presented as he normally did around his church, like the humble, if slightly self-absorbed priest the community had come to know him as

Although less obvious in his obfuscated state, the only thing that would have given him away to someone "in the know" was a subtle smell of menstrual blood. But so long as the great unwashed remained the great unwashed, that wasn't a problem.

[JuneTolpuddle]

June dressed in her simple grey trousers and jacket hurried along, the dirt from the street clinging to her boots. Not having much issue hiding from mortals in plain site, her unthreataning aura raidiated as if it was human (Wispers of life).

"Hello!" June said out loud to the figure outside and waving at them "I believe i am exspected"

As she approached the unforgattable smell of Yorick, June realised the mistake she had made and in a more hushed tone "Elder, please fogive my ruseness"

[Yorick Von Watenberg]

"That's quite permissible neonate. Please may I show you to somewhere more confitable?"

Without waiting for a response Yorick leads June into the church, ushering her through the more public areas towards the spaces reserved for kindred.

"May i ask why you called this meeting? Not that a specific purpose is ever required to visit a house of God, but somehow I don't believe spiritual matters lead you to arrange this meeting of ours" Although his tone was jovial, Yorick didn't smile. He had long learnt that one of his smiles always looked threatening, no matter how he hard he tried not to. So by habit this reluctance to smile translated to his obfuscated forms as well.

"please, that would be wonderfull" June followed along behind Yorick with only a short moment of delay castching her offguard as he walked on

"well it was about Cherrub" June hezitaits for a second, worried and searching for the right words "you had mentioned you would like me, i guess take her under my wing for a while" June stops there alowing Yorick to respond, trying to judge his reaction.

[Yorick Von Watenberg]

Yorick notices Junes her pause.

"Yes, i did discuss that with your primogen. I feel that my child is willful, and altogether lacking in proper culture as befits one of my blood. I have arranged with her that she is to spend some time in your tutelage. Is this something you would find acceptable? I will of cause answer any questions you might have regarding this arrangement."

They arrive now in a small chapel that had been converted into a retreat of sorts. Yorick invites June to take a seat before seating himself.

[JuneTolpuddle]

June takes the seat and slides herself backinto it, trying to keep the proper posture "Oh, it is more than accseptable, it would be my privlage" June smiles towards Yorick "I suppose i did want to talk about whas your exspectations and what you wanted from this and things that i should avoid. I'm trying to get a feel and understanding of what actions i should take in more detail" June grips the sides of the chair in anxiety, trying not to overtalk

[Yorick Von Watenberg]

"yes, i do have some requirements of you. First, cherub child of innocence and dutiful obedience sadly neither trusts or offers the right degree of decorum to your clan. She has heard so many filthy stories about the misdeeds of sinners and has let these foul... stories... pollute her delicate mind. So my first request is that you teach her that your clan are not what these stories suggest."

Yorick pauses. As if selecting his next words quite carefully.

"One more thing. Cherub is largely innocent of matters of the flesh. Like a snowdrop in the morning of pale spring, still clinging to winters chill she knows not the rough hand of an unmarried man. So i ask you again, neonate June, with protecting Cherubs maidenhood. If necessary even from herself, lest the devil lore her from the path of righteousness God has placed her on. Would you accept these tasks I have placed before you?"

[JuneTolpuddle]

June nods, understanding the requests made of her "I will do my best to protect her innocense and purity to the very best of my ability" June paused for a second realising she may have just agreed too something that went against her beliefs, but changing them was something she was doing a lot as she learned more of kindred society these past months

"May i ask elder, what stories are these? so i can best prepair myself for them if they do come up?" June changed the subject in her head and tryed focusing on the task at hand

[Yorick Von Watenberg]

"Thank you, neonate. I will of cause offer you a minor boon for tutoring my childe and another to safeguard her maidenhood."

"As for those stories. There is likely some truth in them. They were told to her by... well the person isn't important, either way she has permitted tales of the unsancamonious of Aquaesulis past galvanise her opinions of Aquasulis present"

"But where are my manners? I haven't offered you a drink. Would you care for me to summon someone?"

[JuneTolpuddle]

June nods eagerly "mmhm, a drink would be most wonderfull"

"and ofcourse the boons would be most apreciated and are most generous" June's face relaxed for a bit "i wonder if it would be appropriet for me to ask if you could tell me about her, how best to convay a message to her or a bit about her personality a bit more" June wanted to know as much as possible and maybe make a friend in the process
