[b][color=#9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: N/A [/center][hr]	Virginia nodded at Mary's question - though truthfully, Virginia did not know Belladonna. No, she knew [i]of[/i] her. She had heard the stories and legends ever since she was a small child, barely old enough to grasp a knife in her hand or to lift a small hatchet. She hardly registered Ludwig's explanation - though she understood his meaning behind it. He didn't kill then. For a moment, he seemed a little too [i]normal[/i] to her. She didn't understand this restraint. Why not slay one's enemies? Whatever does not kill them will surely live to regret it. 

	[color=#9999ff]"Farewell,"[/color] Virginia said, as Belladonna vanished into mist. It reminded her of the message sent through the flames earlier that day - so many strange and wonderful things had happened. She did not doubt for a second that Belladonna had truly vanished. The legend said that she had sold her soul to the dark forces - such an exchange is typically accompanied with powers - the same powers that Virginia imagined the Russians trained in. But she knew that she couldn't dwell on this too long - as soon as this business was settled, they would need to ride to rescue Millicent. James would be safe in the protection of the Circus - his extended family. 

	Virginia didn't necessarily care for the evocation of Christian religion, despite the fact that it would likely convince a majority of those present. Her family practiced what was technically an offshoot of the ancient Slavic religion. Different sects of the family held different goddesses in high regard, with each Crypt child selecting a patron deity once they were seven years old. Virginia's patron was Veliona, known as the Goddess of Death and the Warden of Ancestors. That did not mean she did not respect Mary's beliefs - merely that Mary's argument was not as compelling to her as it was to others. Yet of course, Virginia wholeheartedly agreed with the admission of the Russians [i]and[/i] the Germans to the Council - hopefully Ludwig would manage to convince Mary of the latter.
