[color=9e0b0f]"Well, worth a try,"[/color] Ian said to Enzo, as the boy reported his findings, or lack thereof. They only found this place because of Enzo, so Ian didn't think it would be fair to begrudge him for his failure.

He then turned to Elizabeth, who was lamenting their lack of weapons. Ian replied, [color=9e0b0f]"Well, as far as I'm concerned these fists of mine are my weapons. So we're not entirely defenceless. Regardless though, we should still proceed carefully,[/color]

A Brujah being the one to warn for caution made for an odd sight, but Ian supposed someone had to. Elizabeth was a bit too reckless because this concerned Ludwig while Steele was too nonchalant. Enzo was cautious, but the Giovanni was not one to say his thoughts out loud.

[color=7bcdc8]“[i]Bonsoir[/i], my brothers. Sister. I have to say, I expected a much better venue for our little reunion.”[/color]

It was then, that another 'sibling' of theirs joined them, his loyal ghoul dog by his side.

[color=9e0b0f]"Would have appreciated you showing up earlier, but at least you're here now. Considering we're up against people who could kidnap Ludwig, we'd need all the help we could get,[/color] Ian said, greeting Ralph. He then glanced at the massive Sheperd dog by his side. Having her wouldn't hurt either.

As the group gathered around the backdoor, Ian turned to Ralph, [color=9e0b0f]"You mind going in first? Use your discipline just in case. I'll go in after and engage our opposition if any,[/color]

Out of the five of them gathered there, Ralph had always been the most resilient. Should there be an ambush, Ralph had the best chance to survive unscathed. After that, Ian, as the most combat-oriented would go in and hopefully quickly take them down while they were focusing on Ralph.
