[@Lady Amalthea] I feel that the major reason why Thalken's father would even attend the events of the Season is to strike some kind of deal or get some kind of mercenary work. Granted, this Soulless attack could have thwarted his plans. Hmmm... :/ [@Morose] I have a potential idea. If Virginia truly wants to save Millicent from Lord Rutherford perhaps she could do business with the Talinks to resolve that issue. Doesn't necessarily have to be full out assassination. That would probably raise too much suspicion. She could hire the Talinks to gather intelligence on Lord Rutherford. ;) I want Thalken and Virginia to meet somehow. I assume she would know his father Beowulf from the previous time the Crypts did business with the Talinks. Perhaps she would recognize him at Almack's or he would recognize her? I am trying to come up with ideas. XD
