Sebastion, perhaps I will speak to him about the matter then.

Thelonius... not yet but I have no doubt he's alive. Too stubborn to do something like die. *A chuckle at that, being too stubborn to die amuses her apparently.*

 "I shall continue listening for any news then, the situation in Atlanta is most grim though. The prince's wife is dead as well as over half the cities kindred. They are facing numerous well seasoned packs which will likely take the city shortly. I am expecting some to flee here, at least any whom evade their nets. The Tremere have been strong against the hordes, but I expect their departure soon as well. I believe we shall soon be the bulwark of the Camarilla on this front. These smaller packs that are invading our city are but diversions to draw away any assistance we could offer them. We must bolster our security and try and coax Zaine into finding a useful information network as well as some muscle. He alone will only last until he finds a deadly pack."

Muscle we can do, ghouls work well in battle I find... I have Devin and have taken control of the ghouls of Sam Dawson. I doubt they'd back down from a fight and though they may not be an equal match they are a great distraction from afar while the rest of us infiltrate the pack at the body shop.

*She had never understood Kindred marriage but says nothing about it. Of course they'd kill the Prince's wife, it was a most obvious soft spot.* Killing off the Sabbat we have should distract some of them from Atlanta, perhaps allow the survivors to flee here.

I know once the battle has been lost in Atlanta some of my clan will filter in. Most of all Markus Frost, a definite professional and with his children following him, we would be better off as a whole. Jarmai is an amazing tracker and Sileshia is an information broker even the Noss are jealous of. *She frowns slowly and picks a piece of lint off her dress.*

It will be a grand shame to lose Atlanta but we'd gain a lot of new and old blood here and that would be a bonus for us. Hopefully the kindred of Atlanta will know when the cause is lost and not risk everything.... too many cities have fallen that way over the years.

 "Your assessment of the situation is very accurate. I don't wish to be seen as prodding Zaine into his duties, I was merely suggesting a guiding hand from one he might listen to," with a nod.

"I expect some shall stay and many will continue on, one lost war is enough for most. Our esteemed prince is very particular in whom he grants stay within his domain."

So I've noticed *A slow nod then smirks* Not always a bad thing of course. Saves me the trouble of hunting people down later.

I will keep a close eye on Zaine for sure as well as a few others. Thank you for mentioning it to me.
