A Tremere embraces a university valedictorian and they launch into an explanation, that’s preprepared, in Latin, and their childe is just 😳. And the sire is like, “I don’t understand. You have a doctorate in electrical engineering, how do you not know Latin?!”

Then again, the elders would be able to freely talk amongst each other without too much fear of neonates understanding them.
