[Jen walks over and sits next to Rho-an, putting a friendly arm round her]
Hey, sister, it's OK. You got nothing to apologise for. But seeing as we're telling stories, let me say what happened.. it was less than a year ago.. a lot of you know now that I was brought up on a.. commune, so we were pretty much isolated. I was on patrol when I saw him. I was going to shout.. but instead I followed him into the darkness. I dunno why even today. There wasn't any pain, I guess that's why I never made a sound. Something stopped me I guess. He embraced me in the darkness of the forest then left. After I woke up later - and hunted - it didn't horrify me because I've always hunted and it was just.. different - he came back for a little while and said I was Gangrel, that I would survive, that the mutants were Lupines. I just sort of ended up at the domain during my travels and stayed. I couldn't stay there because my family would have killed me, they would think I was a mutant. And I wouldn't have been able to fight back. [laughs] Hey, I guess he has a thing for young brunettes who live in the sticks, huh? [pats Rho-Ans shoulder in a friendly way]
But.. seriously.. he took us both away from our families. Mine are still alive but I can't see them and I can't even mourn them. But.. we have another family, now. [smiles]
