6/05/02 - Fool Me Once

So, once again, the setites have proven their trustworthyness, I have to bite my tongue to keep from spouting a myriad of "I Told You So's" to whoever will listen. Funny that Aurora's death causes such an uproar, oh the grieving masses, and all the people now coming out to say how important she was to them. Well, maybe she was to Ren Several - I have no idea there. I suppose I should count myself lucky that it was a Toreador that died at the hands of the Setite and not another Ventrue. Someone as loved as Aurora won't be overlooked, and the paramour of the Seneschal will be avenged, which suits my purposes.

Though admittedly, Aurora and I had our differences of opinion, but I would never wish such a death on anyone. The whole thing brings back memories of Reilly, and how his death was swept under the carpet because the Setites were such an honorable lot and oh-so-important to the Camarilla that the murder of an "anarch-ish" Ventrue was not worth the attention of administration. Pity that...since attention months ago may have prevented this unfortunate situation now.

As far as being righteously enraged, I find I have no heart for it. I can't even bring myself to be that angry at Robert Anderson, it's as if I used up all those sentiments months ago. He was just doing what he does. It's like faulting your pet cat for killing your hamster. That's what they do, its in their nature, and I long ago resigned myself to living with venomous snakes. If someone else got bitten, well at least I can say it here - I told you so.
