It can be hard to integrate oneself into a new social group, or try to introduce a new idea to one. This is never more then when a Dragonblood uses this charm. When activated the group grows more cliquish and less accepting of new people. Someone who is not part of the group finds their efforts to integrate their way into it to make friends or talk over some idea find it much harder. The difficulty of rolls of an outsider convince the group to adopt some new idea or plan or to join them is increased by the Essence of the DB using this charm. The group can not be larger in magnitude then the DB's Essence though the DB need not necessarily be part of it.

It is good to share your woes and concerns or even to talk freely with a close friend. It helps one make order of problems or confidence to face things that may come. During any scene of relaxed conversation with another person a Dragonblooded may use this charm. The other person will walk away from the conversation feeling a little bit more right with things. Mechanically this shows as +1 MDV and a single bonus die to all rolls to regain willpower from rest. This bonus lasts a number of days equal to the Dragonblooded's Essence. Used frequently a Dragonblood can quickly develop a reputation for being someone its good to talk to and will find people coming back again and again to talk and share and lay their woes on them. It is for this reason that oftentimes this charm is not used or not even learned.
