Bill
One instance in which your logic is far ahead of my counterparts. But I have to agree, as well- thankfully, my House was the least pretentious of the bunch, so I care to believe I don't have such prejudices, but I will keep that in mind.
I have to say, your chivalry in this whole ordeal is admirable, Bill. I will admit, I wasn't expecting as much. As for the talisman- I would be interested in seeing if they would work, even for one of my strain, but if it did, I would be greatly in your debt. I have been entertaining the idea of broaching the subject with my witch, but we have only just met again, after years, and I'm certain it would be difficult for him.
I am meeting with a Calliope Sedant tonight, but if you're willing, perhaps tomorrow? I will admit, the idea of being able to walk among the living again is appealing, more than you know.
