Reunion

Auntie Esme,
 
I cannot express how happy I was to hear that you would be joining me in Chicago. The announcement that you would be arriving has greatly captured the attention of our prince and he has expressed his anticipation in meeting with you. I remind you that I, in my own crassness, offended this man recently so I hope that you are able to smooth over any misunderstandings that may give our fair Prince a cause to hold our family at arms length. Already I have made preparations for your arrival and we (my coterie and I, at the insistence of Prince Jackson) will be waiting for you upon your arrival in Chicago. I have a glut of entertainment prepared for your stay as well as a rousing bit of business you might find engaging.
 
It has recently come to my attention that one of the properties I have recently began purchasing holds the interest of our deer Isabella, the protégé of one Ricky Goetz. She has requested that we make some allowances for her to purchase the property, offering up the idea of a partnership or at least a mutually beneficial deal in order to obtain it. She was very eager and expressed a sentimental attachment to the location. As a close friend and member of my coterie I of course want nothing more but to see that this property is returned to her ownership but I understand that our family is not running a charity. I have included an attached offer for what we would be willing to part with the property, I would appreciate it very much if you could look over the proposal and provide your keen insight on where we may be able to make some considerations for our friend.
 
If you would like I can see that this is done before you arrive but I thought you might enjoy having a bit of business to attend to while you were in town and as of yet I am intending on postponing closing any deals until your arrival. I should also include in my assessment of the situation that it would seem our darling Isabella has started to reach beyond what would be considered socially acceptable in her dealings. She believes herself to be well protected in this enterprise and I have not had the heart to reveal that with the proper motivation her entire enterprise could be brought to light. There's no reason to make her worry before our talks are closer to concluding but when the time is right we will be sure she understands the position she is in.
 
With much love and anticipation,
 
A. Dunsirn.
 
P.S. I know it's short notice but the Bahari of our Coterie, Sophie, has been asking if I could introduce them to a member of clan Lamia. If you were accompanied by such a person I'm sure they would be delighted to meet, although we would be straining the hospitality of our dear Prince....but surely he must expect some amount of attaches in your company. I believe even a ghoul, properly instructed in the Lamia's faith, would satiate the Malkavians curiosity for now. I have also come to learn if I have not mentioned it before but Sophie's sire is the Sheriff of Chicago and shares her faith. Showing a friendly connection to the Lillin could produce a powerful ally in the city.
