You want to put me where?

[frenchmoney]

Okay, let me get this straight. You want to put me, Dimitri Montagne, owner of Montagne Industries and Senechal of Cincinnati, one of the newest elite of the Ventrue, to be taken from all that to be placed in Bete Noire? Isn't part of my charm the fact that I have access to money, power and prestige? How would this work in this new city?

Well, if you were wanting to play with a different circle that does make some sense. It's not like Julian, the tattoo urchin and I would have anything in common. I may have New Money, but the Montagne line has been a wealthy Aristocratic family since Bonaparte. I'm pretty sure we're even related by blood in some manner.

Anyway, if you don't mention my age, I won't mention yours. Does that sound like a deal?

I believe you are trying to frustrate me, sir.

Compassion is not the same as pity. One assume you cannot handle your own problems while the other assumes you can but calls to one's humanity to find a way to lighten the burden if at all possible. It is the latter I felt for you.

[golden_lyre]

You're arguing semantics. I can't know your motivation for offering help, but either way it isn't needed.

[frenchmoney]

It is not semantics, it is my intentions I'm trying to make clear.

But, you are correct. If it is not needed or wanting than the point it moot.

Do you like chess?

[golden_lyre]

Not particularly. I was never a strategist.

[frenchmoney]

Hm, sure you aren't just playing coy?

[golden_lyre]

Yes.

It was something of a sore point with my father.

[Scratches the back of his neck embarrassed]

I am having no luck at all keeping my foot out of my mouth around you.

[golden_lyre]

It's all right. My father's been gone long enough it doesn't cause me pain to think of.

[frenchmoney]

Do you have any connections with the Stark Industries of Bete Noire? My mun says that is most likely the place I will find work.

[golden_lyre]

No, I'm afraid not. I've heard of it, but that's all.

[frenchmoney]

Do you like tennis?

And yes, I'm still trying to come up with something we must have in common.

[golden_lyre]

I've never played. I'm not much for sports.
