[X] With subtle threats (Manipulation+Intimidation) -[x] Molly holds her little sister by her side as the church bell rings, shifting her feet to draw on her full height, and staring Mrs Evans in the eye, smiling like a shark... or a dragon. "Mrs Evans, I'm 'certain' our mother would be as happy to hear your comments as she was the last time." Molly briefly considered bringing up the Lord's comment about not casting the first stone, but remembered her father's explanation of the Third Commandment, so tried a different track.

You know that the mightiest weapon of her God is, at its core, love - you have felt it against your blade and soul. It is that knowledge you try to instill in her through your words.

[X] With subtle threats (Manipulation+Intimidation) -[X] Stunt: "You think a story about slaying vampires is too violent? There's nothing wrong with smiting the wicked to preserve the innocent. If you really think violence should be avoided altogether... You sure don't act like you're trying to avoid it."
