Anton has taken Willow to Cutler & Co, Italian-fusion candlelit restaurant.
Part way through the meal, three well dressed men enter. anton notices the the lead has a small tattoo above his collar on the left side, and can see the top of a circle with a red dash at 11 and 1 o'clock marks (would seem to b a circle with a red V through it) - Anton has seen this tattoo on one of the Brujah aids at the Union Hall (where the Prince was). #2 is carrying a wooden stake under his jacket. .
The men come straight to Anton's table and tell him he's been summoned by family, and reminds him of the last time he had an encounter with "family".
Anton reluctantly sees Willow off home, and then steps into a blacked out SUV, and is taken to Jupiter's Casino. He is led through the lobby of Crown Towers, taken to VIP elevator and up to a suite that looks out over the cityscape. About 10 minutes later he is escorted to a stateroom to see the Prince, Leslie Taylor.
He asked why a Camarilla "Malk" (Malkavian) was hanging out at a sabat church and subsequently going to dinner with a sabbat.
The Prince advises that Anton caused him great inconvenience at the Bishop's church, with the Bishop being an invited guest, and Anton is obligated to provide a service in return: head to Festival Hall on Spencer Street, slightly out of the main city. Go there and make contact with: Vas (brown skin,. gold tinter hair). Holding a shindig there tonight, and pass on message: GTF out of my town.
Anton is concerned that the recipient may not receive this message well, to which the Prince expresses a lack of interest.
Anton sees a female, maybe early 30s with an ornately styled hair do, who smiles at him and comes over to chat. She makes it clear she is a vampire and knows that he is too. Anton suggests that the front door is not a particularly safe place to hold a confidential discussion. The woman introduces herself as Kwan Bichwi, but says he may call her Jade. She invites him to join her at a small Chinese restaurant she owns.
In the car, she pours a glass of old blood, which Anton enjoys, asks after his dressing-down from the Prince, and whether or not he is happy with "the current state of affairs". Anton queries why that matters, and why she is interested in knowing hbis thoughts on it. Jade says she is Korean and that, as a member of the Jade Court, is interested in speaking to the Primogen and that this meeting not come to the attention of the Prince. At that. we arrive at the Jade Court restaurant, and Jade escorts Anton to an office. She says she does not wish to "take the city", but wishes to restore the balance, although failure of Anton to comply with passing along the message, or the Primogen to receive her, will force them to take action.
Anton is advised to leave a reply with Management at the front desk staff, and is warmly dismissed with the bottle of blood given as a gift.
As he leaves, Jade also tells Anton to pass on a greeting to Vas,, who Anton has not mentioned; when Anton asks who that is, she chckles.
