[b][color=#9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: History (Crypt Family)[/center][hr]	Virginia nodded, reflecting on Mary's provided information. It made sense and wasn't anything out of the ordinary, yet she supposed she perhaps had been gone on her walk longer than had been expected. As much as she understood and agreed with the need to save Millicent, but it struck her as rather odd for Mary to make such a suggestion. From what she understood of Mary's belief systems, all life was sacred and none was held above any other. She had expected Mary to wish to save the child - in addition to saving Millicent. Yet she also had to confess that she did not understand much of the Christian religion - just as much as any other Crypt family member did who was raised in European society and culture. 

	[color=#9999ff]"Yes, I am not a Catholic...And I am not a Christian,"[/color] Virginia replied, as Mary brought up the subject of blessing her axes. From what she recalled, she was not certain blessing her axes would bring her any added strength in battle. [color=#9999ff]"I am what you would call a pagan - a worshipper of the dark arts and the ways of the wicked,"[/color] Virginia then explained. She took no offense to those terms and she found their descriptive nature was at times helpful for explaining to the few who broached the subject with her. 

	[color=#9999ff]"Perhaps another time, I can tell you about my patron deity - the Dark Mother, Veliona, guardian of the dead,"[/color] Virginia added with a sweet smile. Her eyes caught the window just in time to see Elizaveta wave and she glanced back at Mary, knowing it was time that they left. Their animals had been attended to and time was in short supply. [color=#9999ff]"After you, Mary,"[/color] Virginia said softly, as she opened the door and beckoned for her dear friend to head out to join Elizaveta first, with Virginia then following afterwards.

[b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: Deception [/center][hr]	Maeve overheard Lady Kirkpatrick's comment yet she did not allow her face to show any change in emotions, especially having glimpsed the look in Lady Kirkpatrick's eyes. She knew that she had said the phrase for a purpose, stating that subtle jab for some reason and it had given Maeve a moment of emotional pause. Had Lady Kirkpatrick already discovered that she had been sent there to spy upon the family? With someone as cunning and clever as Lady Kirkpatrick (at least claimed to be), she doubted that she would have been simply dismissed. She would have either been made an example of or perhaps asked to spy on the rival Clan in turn. 

	[color=ff6600]"Thank ye kindly,"[/color] Maeve told Charles, giving him a charming smile as she followed after him, carrying her belongings. She figured that she'd be able to reflect on Lady Kirkpatrick's words for a long time before any critical action was taken. Rushing things and jumping to conclusions never helped anyone. This was just a game of cards - she had to read her opponent and figure out the best move to take, nothing more. She had started her life with nothing and ended up joining an influential Irish gang, with a sweet little angel for a daughter. She wasn't about to mess that up right now. 

	[color=ff6600]"So m'lord, what sort of t'ings do ya like to do?"[/color] Maeve asked, smiling sweetly at the boy as they walked.
