[November 1985] The All Saint�s Day War
Seren had had enough, this was unbecoming of everyone involved, and finally, she spoke with the clarity and diction that would have been home in an ancient Roman oratory, should she have been a man. Cnaeus had enough sense to train her in everything he knew, after all, having an embarrassing Get would be the height of gauche to a Ventrue, potentially even leading to their destruction.
"I'm going to interrupt here, with my sincerest apologies for doing so," Seren paused, allowing the others to absorb what she had said and to mount the tension for her next words.
"Regardless of what was agreed upon, we have heard the wishes of the Prince from the Prince's own apparition. You may bicker amongst yourselves at a less critical time; unity is strength and anyone who seeks to disobey what is potentially the final orders of the Prince is an enemy to that unity and therefore a danger to us all," Seren snarled softly, baring her long, elegant fangs in distaste.
"I will not stand by and watch those of my clan debase themselves by in-fighting with those whom we remain allies, however uneasy, with. Ventrue are trusted with authority and we must wield it responsibly and answer offences like this one as a unified force, not whining over unmet expectations and casting aspersions. Really, now!" Seren chided the pair, knowing that her own behaviour was arrogant, almost suicidally so, but she could not help herself. She had to interrupt before things reached the stage of open violence.
