MARCUS: Greetings, Doctor Walker!

I have the terrific fortune of visiting our embassy in DC sometime in the coming weeks. My youngest childe will be released soon and I can think of no better start to our presentational tour than your beautiful city. I will be arriving in DC with a few of my childer as well as my Toreador ward. I trust fully that you will have proper arrangements seen to and I thank you in advance for your gracious hospitality.

Also, understand that I am writing not only out of obligation, but also to express my most sincere desire to speak while I am in town! Your dedication to the interests of our family has not gone unnoticed and I truly look forward to at last meeting you in person.

Warmest Regards,
Marcus Aurelius

EDWARD: Esteemed Mr. Aurelius:

We will be only too happy to receive you in DC, and hope your stay will be comfortable and informative. The Embassy has been informed of your imminent arrival, and of course all proper arrangements will be made.

Should you have any special requests, please feel free to notify us about them ahead of time in order that we may extend our fullest hospitality.

I look forward to discussing family business in the near future.

With sincere pleasure,
Dr. Edward Walker

Trivia

  • Marcus is not sincere in his congratulation of Edward for his attempts in DC; Edward is suffering from a negative reputation due to his failure to recognize and stop Marcus Vitel from pretending to be a member of Clan Ventrue and taking over the rulership of Washington, DC. Similarly, Edward is perfectly well aware of this and is not sincere about being glad to see Marcus visit.

  • The soon-to-be-released childe Marcus refers to is Olivia Roth.
