I think a talk about our friendship & motivation for leaving might be the catalyst I need to build a character - the story approach.
One thing I am thinking is moving from Bonisagus to Tremere - the key is really with you, Founder's Ghost - is your Tremere a sketchy group with low esteem and a nefarious agenda? Or is it a structure = power type place?
If the former, then Bonisagus is my house. Friderich, being a bit older, was at one point a proctor of a lab, and floor guardian for some younger members, and befriended P2 along the way. Who can forget being chased by Klaus for stealing cheese - and the fumbled spell that made the kitchen cat into a rat? At least temporarily...
As we grew up within the Covenant, we later worked together as I was a tutor, trying - somewhat successfully? - to help 'break' his Ex Mis mind to that of a proper scholar. While it didn't work, we came to an understanding, and I learned something about the Arcane.
It could be as well then, as I had completed my gauntlet, that I was accused of helping you with yours. A charge unfounded, and though even while I was ultimately cleared of that, some whiff of disrespectability remains.
And that could be why - if you're _just_ out of your gauntlet, that you and I are to travel together?
-OR-
As House Tremere, I have at times, growing up in the covenant, worked with him, and we are friendly, if not friends. As I became more entrenched in Tremere, my mentor, the witch Margilt, often had me focus on where I could gain my advantage - a point that brings other points into focus. I began to look at who I could work with, who I could trust, who could help me, Tremere, and all Magi be better and stronger. P2 - of course. A man with no agenda, and who, because of an...issue with his gauntlet, is open to the idea of a sojourn.
House Tremere - and Margilt - will provide some of the backing, but there is a place or three to the East that needs looking into...
