The clock struck the hour and Thom mentally chided himself for letting himself get caught up in things. He should have been gone by now. Thom let his eyes wander about the surrounding area for a few moments before looking back at the were. "Not as such, no. If you did not intend to go to the manor than I would not give you these last few bits of advice." Thom scanned the area around them again. It wouldn't be long now. He shouldn't have accepted the offer of a meal, but the kids didn't deserve to go into the manor unprepared.

He once again returned his attention to her. "Know this: VanHelsing has made allies and enemies beyond the scope of your imagination. You will not be hunting lone vampires or lesser demons in his company. Such petty things are beneath his ability and a waste of his time. When VanHelsing goes on the hunt with others behind him, the world changes. Remember that."

Thom took another sip from his glass. "Though it may seem nonsense to you, heed my warning seriously: Do NOT touch the statue in the drive... It may well be the last thing you do on this world. Also, be aware that you will be tested. Perhaps warning you about that invalidates the test slightly, but I do not care for the practice. Do not become separated from your weapons."
