WHO: Amadeus Lazarus & Ariel Lee Underwood WHEN: June 12th WHERE: East Harlem WHAT: A serendipitous run in. WARNINGS: NSFW or the eyes of nuns. STATUS: Complete
It wasn't unusual to find Amadeus popping up anywhere in New York nowadays. As sheriff, it was part of his job to make his rounds and keep his eye on things. He may have his hounds to keep cut down on the work but New York City was a big place and they couldn't always be everywhere at once. He usually took to helping cover Manhattan since it was the largest borough to cover and the one with the highest amount of Kindred in it. So him finding his way into East Harlem wasn't all that odd. Given the increase of the Chinese population in the area he didn't even look that out of place. Or rather he wouldn't have if it wasn't for the way he was currently dressed. The Tremere elder had a way of sticking out no matter where he went.
It seemed he wasn't the only Kindred on the streets of East Harlem that night. He spotted the Gangrel before Ariel spotted him. Normally the only Gangrel that Amadeus dealt with these days where Anarch ones that he had to chase off—or worse. This one, however, was playing by the rules and so Amadeus had little desire to chase him off, especially after their conversation the other night. His curiosity was more than piqued by it all.
As Amadeus approached Ariel, he took in the tension in the other's body and couldn't help but notice the general air of sadness around him. "I know I said it's more fun if I just show up one night but just so we're clear, I wasn't purposely tracking you down," he pointed out as a way of announcing he was there, "more of an act of serendipity really."
