Faolan nods slightly. He is no great fan of vampires, as he's sure that Lancelot knows all too well. But at the same time, he doesn't suppose that a permanent alliance against the vampires would work in their favor necessarily either. He doesn't want to back himself into a corner, not with his people, and not together with Sylvia Redbright.

"Protecting her students from what, though?" he inquires. "We will have to both agree on who the threat is coming from, otherwise what good is our protection for them. But perhaps we could get away with making it broader terms? To protect them from supernatural threat in general?" He raises an eyebrow at Lancelot, as if to question whether even the idea of it sounds far-fetched or not.

"That's up to you," Lancelot says more quietly. "She will want Hillingdon to commit, and if you paint too broad a stroke you make yourself deliberate enemies with people. You need to decide what you're willing to take as a cost for that space. Do you want to protect Redbright's people from any threat, even if it turns out you paint a target on yourself for doing so? Or do you want to limit the risk? I think we both know what she'd want."

She'd want as much out of the agreement as possible. Sylvia is a smart woman, and she knows Faolan has little other choice unless he wants to pick a fight.
