The Camarilla in Austin offering LaVonte a position of power is so good on a storytelling level because it reiterates the point Brennan made earlier about the college students not wanting to stay and build something but rather go somewhere it's already built. He's presenting LaVonte with the same choice as students like Patty Babcock. Stay in Purpee and do the hard work of creating the community you want or leave for a city where it's all established and he can just slot into the system. It's great because it pissed LaVonte of that the students didn't care. Now confronted with the same choice is he going to be true to his intentions of making New Rome or be a hypocrite?
