Sal would be nervous as he would get ready. With the still recent memory of his muscles he would take a deep breath and then push the unsed air from his body. he would open the door and then step into the room.
The Princes' office is a large room approximately 45' wide by 75' long. All the way down at one end of it is a man standing next to a desk leaning over a woman who is sitting there looking at a computer. When you approach he stands up and address' you. Standing before you is a man of just over six feet wearing a very nice, obviously expensive suit. He has hair down to his mid back and has a tight fitting black cord around his neck with chicken bones tied to it. Another necklace made of silver chain is hanging down to his sternum with a silver wolf's paw on it. The mans face has a beauty so rare as to be rarely seen, even by supernatural standards. The woman is almost equally beautiful.
"Have a seat" he says to you, as he sits down behind his desk. "I am the Prince here. Jack is my name. This is my wife Prince Consort Tiffany."
"Hello and my greatest apologies for not coming to see you sooner honor prince Delrez. Work with the Clinic that I help to fund and manage always keeps me busy at the moment. Such charity is why i remain here in this city." Sal would half bow before the prince and his Consort. "Lady Delrez it is always wonderful to see you as well."
he would straighten a little then speak once more. "I am Salvatore Orilia, by birth of the serpents of Light, and given recent events and the independent nature of myself the very small domain that i control within the confines of the city. I have am here to present myself as someone who would be happy to work with you and your organization. I have operated within the city as an independent for the last twenty years and though much of what i have built here remains, it has never supported the anarchs and I have refused the advances of my clans within the Sabbat. So now... i am here humbly to pay respect where it is due and to say that Although i wish to remain an independent I understand that value of stability, the rule of law, and those with the means to enforce it. So I am here and will answer what questions you have to the best of my ability."

"I am pleased to meet you Sal, For now just call me Jack. You say you were here under the Sabbat reign? I wish I could have met you sooner, you could have helped me take the city possibly in a more timely, less violent manner. Be that as it may, would you like a drink? A cigar. They're Cuban." He opens a humidor and a cabinet with different expensive liqueurs and some cheap alcohol that may as well just say beer on it rather than a brand name. "Have whatever you would like. So, what kind of clinic do you run? Do you need any investors or spare hands? I am a doctor myself, with specialties in Hemotology as well as others."

"Thank you for the wonderful offer but If i can't really stand much outside of what my body craves. I do appreciate the offer though."
Sal would seem to try to relax a little bit. "My Clinic For the public masses is a free clinic and blood bank that helps to provide the local hospital with a fresh blood supply. Also it is always been respected by those who were managing the city as my own domain and a kind of neutral ground as i am simple trying to maintain a health food source. It is also available to childe of the city as somewhere they can find more exotic forms of vitae. The Ventrue are not the only ones who have very specific tastes. I try to provide people with the products they want and need. As long as it will not threat the Masquerade."

Jacks face turns stern, looking a little agitated."Well Sal, I decide what is neutral grounds, not you. And if I think you are a good citizen and influence on the city, I might just make your clinic Elysium. I have had dealings with your clan in the past and I am not surprised that you are "dealing" blood. I personally have no problems with it, nor if you were dealing in anything else, I just expect to be kept informed. When it comes to OUR enemies, there is no neutral ground, the Sabbat will be dealt with where ever found. Anarchs don't concern me in the slightest, I have had many, many dealing with them. One of my Allies back in Chicago was an Anarch. Again, I want to be kept informed about there whereabouts and dealing though."
He visibly calms down and his voice is less stern. "Now, I only ask that you report any suspicious goings on to my office."

"oh course Jack." Sal would look at him. "I was only meaning to say that I would greatly appreciate if your benevolence would allow my clinic to continue operation as it has. I am sorry if you find my work distasteful I will ensure that things are as discreet as possible. and I will inform you of anything that i would fit into the parameters of what you have described to me."

He chuckles a little bit. "No, I don't find your work distasteful, it is in fact a huge benefit to our kind that can't feed without having to kill. Yes of course you can continue to operate as you have, unless there is anything you aren't telling me that I should know. Like I said, I have worked with your kind before, I bought quite a few guns from a serpent. In the end I had to destroy him, he was dealing to the Sabbat as well."

"Jack. I understand what you are saying. And I will be straight up with you about this. The Sabbat want me. They have tried on several occasions to recruit me into their side of this war the Camirilla has with them. but i have always maintained that i will not join them. If their agents come to me i am certain that they can find their way into the arms f the local Sheriff. I seem no reason to stop a policy that has kept me on this earth for this long."
As Sal is speaking he would let his eyes wander around the room Drinking in all that is around him. trying to memorize ever detail possible.

"Well. I am glad you have chosen the right side. If you would like to set them up, I could arrange to have your recruiters assassinated. It could get dangerous for you, but so is them constantly coming around you. If you feel you can't participate, just pass the info along and we'll put someone on it. I cannot allow them to operate here. We are too close to their strong hold. I am sure you are not their only target as it must chafe their sides that I took There city so close to their home."

"Well I can handle my own mess, I would not wish to inconvenience an elder in such a way. If there is anything that can be gleenned from there fruitless advances i am sure that i will make use of it to provide you with opportunity. There is always the possibility of playing them for benefit to all."
Sal would return his gaze to Jack chest just keeping his eyes below the Princes.

"You can look me in the face man. I have never been much to stand on Honorifics. Unless I am to chastise you in an official capacity, in which case all my authority would be brought to bare. So now I know all I think I need to know. The only thing left is our treaty with the Werewolves. They are allowed anywhere in the city, except Elysiums and you are not to go to there "Elysiums" any clash with them is a clash with me. Other than that you are free to be on your way...Oh one more thing, what kind of Doctor are you?"

"again apologize, Previous experience has taught me never to look elders in the eye unless required. Not because of any respect i wish to show. But because i wish to ensure my mind remains my own. I understand with more experiences that the line of sight is not required but I am one that believes in being cautious at all times. I mean no disrespect, only that i have learned habits from your predesecor that i learned because they were in fact used as such."
"I have had many dealings with the lupines previously Although The change in regime of the city seems to have brought a change in their situation as well. I would have it known to them that My Clinic will remain open to them if they wish to use it. As they had previously."
Sal would smile a little. "And as to your last question. What ever made you think i was a doctor Jack. I am just a person who supplies them with the money to fund the clinic. I am a philanthropist. I have studied briefly. but at the moment I have not had many of the opportunities for mass schooling that have been afforded to those who have the weight of ages upon them."

"When you said you run a clinic I assumed you were a doctor. My mistake. You do have forever to become a doctor if that is your wish. I do not usually use disciplines to control people, and I understand your concern, but when a Prince wants to control someones mind, they don't have a choice but to submit, or openly defy him and risk a blood hunt. I understand you were an independent before I got here, and I'll try not to trample to much on your independence, but there are things you have to realize about how a Camerilla city operates. First and foremost, if you haven't picked up on it already, the Prince is generally an iron fisted dictator. I am such a Prince, not to control every detail of your life as some princes would, but to make sure you are free from others. You are free to live your existance any way you choose so long as it doesn't go against the Camerilla, then I don't give a shit. Now, there is an application I need you to fill out."
He hands you a piece of paper, all it says on it is Name____ Generation____ and Clan____

"I would say that concludes our business. You may be on your way. I would suggest a few places for you to hang out, but you are from here so you must know them all. Except for the Raves I hold at the warehouse district. I have Techno and Heavy Metal bands I hire to play live all the time. If you are into that kind of music, stop by."

"Well If the mood strikes me jack i may partake in such events otherwise i will simply be busy with work. But perhaps if your participants need some refreshment we can always work out a arrangement. "
Sal would stand up and would look around. He would provide a curt bow and a sly. "Good even lord and lady Delrez may you reign be strong over this city. I would assume that i can show myself out?"
