#santino is just out here being a cryptid ig

[hostiae]

he's been a watchful eye in paris for days now, his presence hidden from the vampires of the coven — careful not to raise alarm ( although, he's unafraid of them here ). his curiosity had gotten the best of him and although his convictions were no longer what they once were, he doesn't know whether to see armand, the master of the theatre, with pride or with heavy guilt for the sins committed to recreate him. both, perhaps. he had wanted to see him thrive.

it's not only armand, however, that has his attention. it's the two visiting, american vampires.

claudia, the child vampire is an absolute affront. not only to laws that he helped form only to abandon, but to any simple ethical code. not only is it innocence shattered, but a vampire who would always be limited by her mortal age. he cants his head, watching her from the entry of an alley as he steps into the light of the street lamps, announcing his presence.

❝ oh, child. what tragedy the world must have in store for you. ❞
