He is extremely overconfident, that's probably his greatest failing, but he's also been around for almost one thousand years, so he's well justified in being confident.
"Don't think that this mission is to kill him, although if you get a chance, by all means feel free to send him to his final death. But the reason you are going to to get information, Tzimisce are notorious for being gracious hosts, and will risk their own lives to protect their guests, as long as he doesn't think you have turned from a guest into a trespasser you'll be safe. Just remember your manners and don't freak out over his servants, he likes to "improve" on the human design and try to make the perfect slave.
"Are there any other questions?"
He pulled a cell phone from his well tailored suit and talked into it for a few moments, then shortly afterwards a young man walked in with a suitcase, set it down in front of Gwynne and left quickly not even waiting for a thank you.

ooc- whoo, just got back from a "college tour" in massachusetts... anyone here go to MIT?
ic- Gwynne scowled slightly to herself, and felt the top of her boot to make sure the knife was in it's hidden sheath.
"Had I known this was going to be a social call, I would have dressed a little more... nicely."
She scooted the briefcase closer to her without checking what was inside -- she trusted Orrick's judgement.
"Thank you for providing me with weapons. This may seem a silly question to ask but..." she hesitated, as if unsure to ask.
"Is it possible for vampires to read human minds? If that is the case, wouldn't that make me a liability? He could find out from me that we mean him harm..."
Gwynne felt a little ridiculous in asking the question, but until 2 days ago she didn't even know that vampires existed.
