Henri Bowens' haven

Situated in the Western parts of the city, in the most residential aread, Henri chose to live unlike most Gangrel. But he has managed to live in a greener part of town (at least a little green).

Laure took back her phone and called Henri to tell him to meet her in front of 'his' park if he could, which he accepted. As she parks, Fred can easily recognize the Gangrel Primogen leaning against a brick wall, waiting patiently and smoking. He's wearing a formal shirt and a pair of jeans and seems a little puzzled. The Elysium Keeper parks nearby and closes her car as she and Fred are out. When they approach the Gangrel, he offers them both a polite smile. He recognizes Fred and smiles.
(Henri) Good evening. Here, let's walk as we talk. What can I help you with Madame Nolveaux, Fred ?
(Laure) We've been attacked again by the sabbat, Primogen. There were no losses this time and the Tremere made a prisoner, but it seems we made mistakes last time... And that we may have a traitor among us. Fred, you'd mind.. ?

She asks him to fill in the details, after all she didn't witness any of it. It seems Henri didn't think Fred was dead.

Fred is obviously nervous and afraid of something and keeps looking around when he approaches the primogen with Laure. Even when he speaks he keeps this behaviour which may or may not come of as rude as he only has minimal eye-contact and attention as he tells the tale. He also talks faster than usual.
Yes the mean ones attacked the old chantry yesterday at some point, by the time I arrived the police had already begun to seal off the area.

Mister Kersten had captured one of the mean ones, who used to visit the Elysiums with Miss Vanderstree, and had a lady interrogate him.
Later I was tasked with finding "Annabelle Vicomte, childe of Jerome Lehin" and began searching, asking both Mister Theodore and the Tremere of the new chantry, as well as Mister Mike who was there too!
Fred temporarily forgets his current fear of whatever, but does not stay that way for long.

Earlier today I spoke with Prince Gousin who asked me to join Mis-- Ah my pardons-- Mrs. Nolveaux in her search for "Annabelle Vicomte, childe of Jerome Lehin". We spoke first with Jerome Lehin himself about his missing childe, and will continue our searches by speaking with certain individuals, many of high-standards within our society.

Ah! And a Nosferatu is searching for me, perhaps with information? Who can say when they leave themselves unseen.

Perception + Alertness >6:

Auspex 2:

The Gangrel listens, with his hands in his pockets, as they walk calmly around the park. He seems attentive of his surroundings, as well as Laure that keeps mostly as a back-watcher.
(Henri) Hm I see. I don't want to meddle with the Tremere and their nasty tricks. So.. Annabelle may not be dead ? You think she turned Sabbat ?
(Laure) I don't think so, she wasn't bonded to Jerome, but she was truly in love with him. She came to the Elysium that night because the film Jerome was off to see didn't appeal to her.
(Henri) Quite unlikely, then, but you were friends so we cannot rule it out. I was not there that night either, so.. why me ?
(Laure) Fred was declared dead that night, somehow someone mixed ashes, so we are listing the survivors.
(Henri) Ah, I see where you're going.. Well I am alive, so is Chriss. I saw the Venerable a few nights ago. I talked to Gregory Darvault a week or so ago.. Hm. Chriss and the Venerable confirmed the death of their respective childer.

He ponders a moment, recalling some other way to list those he saw, before he dismisses it with a slight frustrated sigh. Laure pulls her pad and notes Henri, Chriss and the Venerable as alive, and marks down the death of the Gangrel childer with their names.
(Henri) I cannot see past Obfuscate, so those I saw in Elysium... I know some of them well enough. I know the Prince was the Prince, I know Celine was Celine... I can't think the Sheriff wasn't who he said he was. You should ask someone who is paranoid enough to use their discipline to check everyone's identity quite often. Doesn't the Nosferatu hotline receive phone calls often ? Pierre should have a good idea of who is alive and who isn't according to the services the clan gave.
(Laure) That's quite a good idea !

The Toreador sounds quite joyful for once, she truly shows enthusiasm. Henri gives a look to Fred and offers a smile.
(Henri) Asking that Nosferatu contact to help you out could be useful. Is there anything else I can help you both with ?

The Toreador stays silent, but she encourages Fred with a smile to ask.

Fred has not lowered his alertness one bit since he arrived.
When Henri mentions that he saw the Venerable recently Fred instantly turns toward his direction (but still looks around constantly.
Aarh! Where?! We should go! Not good when it comes!

Fred becomes somewhat hyper (more than he already was), but generally keeps himself from making too much of a scene.
When Pierre and the Nosferatu are mentioned, Fred turns to them again.
Ah! Spoke with M'sieur Pierre recently, fun person that one. A Nosferatu is looking for me, wanted to speak apparently, might be good to arrange the meeting in hopes that this one can be of assistance to us.
Nothing else than that! Nothing else than that.

Fred resumes looking around the area.

Henri raises an eyebrow, then shrugs.
(Henri) Don't worry he's not here, he's somewhere in the wild.

Laure nods.
(Laure) Thank you for your time, Primogen. Have a good night.
(Henri) Sure thing.

As they walk away back to the car, Laure's phone, in Fred's hands, rings. Henri disappears behind a corner of a street.

Fred hangs up.
Miss Carrion wishes to meet us in the Regent Grand Hotel to speak with me, will we go at once or shall we meet Primogen Sainte-Croix first?

Laure Nolveaux was looking away the wholetime but she couldn't not hear what Fred was saying. Once they are done, she shows her hand, hoping to get her phone back. She kept quite neutral on the conversation, neither approving or disapproving. To Fred's look towards her, she just shruged in sign of "doing what one needs to do". She has no reason to be protective towards her coterie-friend.
(Laure) We can go to the Regent first, it's on the way to the Water Mirror and we do have time before Primogen de Sainte-Croix shows up.

Once in the car and buckled up, Laure drives back towards the Theatre and the Hotel, parking where she was a little bit earlier.
