Kindred Segregation, as per the recent ruling, requires the
"Methuselah" to repay the cost. This implies that the cost in
question is pool cost only - not blood cost. Courier still
costs 2 blood, but costs zero pool. A Methuselah would have
to repay 0 pool in order to keep the Courier.
Dominique, on the other hand, says nothing about the Methuselah's
cost, just the cost. Palatial Estate would require 2 vandal counters
to burn.
