Vincent had rushed home after dropping off Carson and Janette. He really didn't want to have to do so, but he needed to keep up appearances. He didn't particularly care about the people he just met, he cared about the person he was heading towards.
He unlocked the door in haste, fumbling the keys as he did so.
"Fuck... Fuck!"
The door almost slammed open.
"Lucy, I'm back!"
Barely a second of silence, but that was enough to trigger his paranoia. He had always been scared of the idea of not getting to her in time. If the Malkavians had discovered her, twisting her mind into a repulsive shell. Or the Camarilla, destroying her as a threat to the Masquerade. Or the Sabbat. Or his own clan. It was too dangerous, too many could hurt her, ghouling her was.... An acceptable compromise. For now. One day, she would be true Tremere, and they could leave this limbo behind.
"Lucy? LUCY!!!"
He was getting scared. Had someone discovered him? Was it the Lich? If anything had happened to her...

When Vincent arrived back home, everything in the haven was in order, perhaps more organised than he had left it. Odd, perhaps? As he enters, he'll hear Lucy chatting very softly with someone, and the sound of something being poured.
When he arrives in the dining room, he'll see his Lucy is sat pleasantly, sipping from a tea cup. "Of course, Miss. Robinson, its very simple to set up a network that large, all you have to do is..."
She'd pause as he entered, smiling widely as she saw her better half, and "owner". "Vincent! We have a guest, she's been very sweet and brought some tea. She said you'd know who she was."
Sitting across from her, was none other than...Anna.

Seated within a large chair with a small cup of tea within her hands, was the small, delicate looking figure of Anna. She turned her eyes quietly over to where Vincent was as Lucy greeted the man, giving him a soft smile and a very polite, "hello Mister Castle..." in her rather soft, almost timid voice. She wore a rather trendly looking pair of heeled ankle-boots, along with jeans and a top with cutout shoulders, which for some reason was fashionable with normal people, but didn't seem to make sense. She simply sat quietly, her large, brown eyes upon the man as he entered the room, her fingers raising the cup to her lips, sipping gently, before lowering it. Her gaze never faltering.

Well for fuck's sake. Vincent who had half his sword half-out, quickly sheathed it before taking off his hat and taking a seat with his cup of tea. Looks like everyone's drinking it at least.
"...Your timing could use some work. If you were so eager to see me you could've called you know..."
"I see you've met Lucy. Little genius she is."
He smiles at her warmly.
He was slightly concerned she wasn't panicking however. She's normally incredibly uncomfortable around new people. What had Anna done?

What would she have to fear from such a sweet, pleasant lady? She was giving off such harmless vibes...and the tea she had made was lovely. Lucy grinned at the praise, "Oh Vincent, you're far too sweet..."
She'd glance between them, then move to pour Vincent a cup of the tea with out needing to be asked.

She gave a slightly sheepish smile, "uhm, well... I'm sorry about that... uhm... Mr Castle... But I didn't realise you'd be out this long and... and uhm... Lucy was very nice, so... so we were talking about computer infrastructure..." she replied with her ever-so-soft, rather timid voice. It was a lot like Janette's, in fact, as though she wasn't entirely certain of herself.

Vincent wasn't buying this. She had pull. He knew it. And he knew about her "girlfriend". She's been there, and done that. What was she up to?
He took a sip of tea.
"Thank you Lucy."
He gives her another winning smile.
"My apologies. Was out doing an errand with some new pals, so to speak. Also met a ghost! ...Again. Apparently they just can't get enough of this delightful face of mine. Apparently this one's been at it for a while though. As much as ghosts love me however, I've found that computers very much dislike me. But it seems they have a thing for the ladies."
He flashes a cheeky grin at Anna and Lucy while he takes another sip of tea, while his eyes shift around a little bit before re-focusing, worrying slightly if Anna's hid or stolen something.

Lucy felt slightly uncomfortable being among both kindred, not that she didn't adore Vincent, but she knew that the politics would begin soon. Standing up after a moment, she's look between them. "I need to finish working on our network, please excuse me."
She'd slip outside of the room and down the hall, though keeping an ear open to listen in on what they'd be chatting about.

Vincent looked up to her, a little sad to see her go. He didn't rush back here to deal with Anna. The irritations tonight seemed endless.
"See you in a moment, Lucy."
He looked back at Anna, finishing his cup of tea.
"So, what would you like to talk about? Has the night been kind?"
