Re: Chapter 2: Absolute Power
The solid oak door of the nunnery is opened by a rather young looking sister, who bows her head peacefully as Vezina asks to be shown to Sister Pallas. She nods her head and leads Vezina into the simple building and past what looks almost like cells in a prison except for the lack of bars. She knocks softly at one of the doors, which is soon answered by Sister Pallas, who nods in greeting and dismisses the other nun before ushering Vezina in.
"I wondered when you might come to call on me, Lady Vezina. You needn't worry about speaking freely in here, the walls are quite thick. Now what brings one of my fellow scions to see me in my haven."
She says indicating for Vezina to make herself comfortable in the small room. A simple bed, a chair, and a small table are the only furnishings in the tiny room.

Jourdain doesn't seem any less nervous than Jocelyn does as he glances about the dark alley as much as she does. He smiles as though trying to reassure her though it does little to assuage her fears, as do the voices telling her get away to someplace safe.
"Yes, I know Rebekah we are or were both Hospitallers. She asked me to make sure you stay safe and I could hardly refuse to honor a boon."
He listens to Jocelyn explain once more about the man and the old woman as he takes her hand gingerly and examines it before saying.
"Unusual, but the dagger must have been blessed by someone of true faith for it to burn you from merely touching it. The old woman sounds like she might have been possessed. Hopefully it was mere happenstance that you blundered into their path, though I doubt it since Rebekah wanted you watched. Did the man happen to say anything before he came after you?"
----------
Upon closer examination of the effects lying on the ground both Eliza and Anabelle notice the ash or dust. Almost as if someone had simply turned to ash while they were wearing the armor. A mystery to the watchmen for sure but they both realize that they are more than likely looking at the remains of a fellow cainite who has met his final death.
The watchman dismisses the other man, a simple innkeeper from his appearance. Turning to face Eliza on horseback he immediately bows but not before catching her gaze with his own eyes.
"Milady, we seem to have stumbled upon something of a mystery as you can see. The innkeeper seems positive that the personal effects you see was worn by a soldier who had been at his inn. Supposedly he had left after some screams from outside followed shortly by more screams. though as you can see there are no signs of a fight, no blood, no body. It's a complete mystery to your humble servants, milady."
