After the Skall call, Demetri folded his laptop and put it back into his briefcase. Meanwhile, Cameron turned to Ru. Cameron- "We didn't have much time to say hi since you got here, Ru. Uh... Hi." Demetri- "Yes, it's been an appalling night. How are you?"

((Ru will probably talk to the peeps for a while.)) Ru- "It's all been pretty scary really, but I'm fine. Wilhelm is good company. I can't believe that Jack's gone too." He sits down and put his hand to his cheek. That was two fledglings, which made him hope that Babette and the others would learn to stay out of the way.
He looked up at Demetri thoughtfully but did not add to his commentary. Both Demetri and Wilhelm had been very kind to him through all this. Well, as kind as vampires could be but it is a sliding scale of sorts. "I think Inka coming to the mansion is a good move."

Demetri slowed his stroll then decided to sit down for the chat. They were in Cameron and Ru's room - a risk they were not intending to take this early, but Demy would be close by and it seemed likely Dragomir would be distracted by the situation. Demetri- "I hope so. People look to me to make these sorts of decisions."
Cameron- "Guess that means they can blame you if something goes wrong." Demetri- "That's pretty much the name of the game."

Ru- "You do a good job of protecting us, Demetri. I know the older vampires don't appreciate it, but we do..." Ru was earnest at least, and resisted trying to give him a supportive hand gesture. He was pretty sure Demetri would ninja-avoid it anyways.
He instead gave the older vampire a sympathetic look.

Demetri- "Thank you, Ru."
Cameron- "Yeah, for legit... So. What's going on today while most of us are sleeping?" Demetri- "I'll try to catch some sleep, but I'm going to spend a lot of time making arrangements and gathering information. By nightfall, I hope to know more about what happened at the Sombreta Estate in particular. The Marchese attack is too mysterious, but the other seems quite straightforward." He seemed to be holding back some relevant detail about that, probably about something sad or grim.

Ru- "Was someone else hurt in the attacks? " His face was a little tense as he watches Demetri. He didn't need to be babied any more than he was already, though Demetri had been an apt foster parent to him. "Do all of you older vampires know all the elder's secrets?" He squints with a certain lack of comprehension, and the visible thought seems to cross his mind; did it have to be one of the circle who was the traitor?

Demetri- "Angela, Jack, Santi, Dominic, and possibly some servants."
Cameron- "I wonder what that stuff about Courtney was? Guess I can give her a call." Demetri- (to Ru's second question) "That's kind of an odd question. Are you the spy Wilhelm alluded to?"

Demetri- "I believe you, I believe you."
Cameron- "Do you think guns and explosives could make the difference?" Demetri- "Not alone. He must have some other sort of power, perhaps a kind of sorcery...
There's another possibility almost too absurd to contemplate, but I thought of it as you mentioned secrets. Progenitors usually have a secret weakness in excess of what the turned are afflicted with. You may have noticed your own distaste for religious expressions. Tomasz has a weakness greater than that, which I will not tell. Anyway, if Theodore somehow learned of all the progenitors' weaknesses, that would be quite an edge. Still, even I don't know any but Tomasz's, so it just seems extremely unlikely."

Ru- "You lived with all of them forever, too... It's ok, I don't want to know something like that." Ru ponders on that point. How on earth indeed did Theodore acquire this information...It didn't seem like Santi was responsible for overthrowing the Marchese, and he wondered if Gaston Louis was as loyal as he had seemed. He had run off as well, to join Theodore? How was he so convincing? Or was it something else? "What happened to Courtney, Cameron? Poor Jack.. Are you going to be ok, Demetri? " Ru gave him knowing sympathetic eyes. Maybe Demetri's crush really was that obvious?

Demetri- "I'm just trying to avoid the negative for your sake. I'll be OK when this mad beast is inert."
Cameron- "I don't know any better than you... I'll try calling her now." He went aside to call her and the phone went straight to messages.

Ru- "You don't have to avoid it for my sake, but I can understand if you don't want to talk about it. You're very self-sufficient, and always have been." There's a touch of admiration in his voice.

Demetri smiled at that, but Cam brought that down a bit.
Cameron- "Um. No answer with Courtney. Her people are coming here tonight though, right?" Demetri- "I imagine you'll be able to talk to her then." He checked his watch. "We've some time probably before they arrive, but I have much to do." ((additional convo with cam possible, just figured in this moment demy prob has a lot of phone calls to make re: security))

Ru- Ru smiled at Demy with weary appreciativeness, and then looked at Cameron. "She was acting a little weird at the party. She seemed depressed... She always hears ghosts. I admit I'm worried too. We don't... I don't want to lose anyone else."

Demetri departed, leaving the other fellows alone. Cameron- "I missed the party, really haven't had much chance to talk to her. Think it's all the ghost thing? She seemed to be hating on the whole vampire deal last I talked to her... Woulda been before that."
