"You know Genevieve. I thought that you were just being flirtatious when you asked me if I was still single last night but this? This is quite underhanded, even for you."

Genevieve rested her chin on the bridge of her hands and smiled sheepishly as she winked at him. "Who? Me? I would never! Not in about five years would I ever think of doing that to you, of all people."

Marcellus: "Yes... well we were out of options you see. While it is true that you aided us in our time of need but your leave of absence and lack of communication have us with a bitter taste."

Wallace: "Your motives cannot be trusted! You have very little investment in this city unlike the rest of us! Yet you're the one that aas chosen for this task last night during the emergency meeting."

Genevieve: "But we are aware of a little lavender anchor that that keeps you chained here."

Jorge clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes before taking a deep breath and relaxing. "And how did you come across this information?"

Edward: It is the council's duty to protect it's residents. So whe an individual came asking about a shoggoth that matched the description of one of our newest residents we took action and made a deal. Information for information. It seemed that our little friend qas more than willing to pay any price for any scraps they could find and was more than willing to exchange knowledge."

Wallace: "It would behoove you to assist the council, no the coty and it's people. You are their lord and it's you duty to prevent war."

Marcellus: "You signed the constitution setting up this Constitutional monarchy as you called it. It's only just that you retake the mantle of responsibility instead of shirking your duties. "

Genevieve: "What would the poor thing say when she found out that not only was her errant father the defacto lord of this land but refused to put his pride aside to save it from the terrors of war hmmm? It would just tear the poor girl's heart to find out that not only did her father let her down but that her main interest would be conscripted to fight. You wouldn't want that to happen now would you?"

The small room began to darken in Jorge's mind as the web of treachery closed in to envelop him completely. He had been played like a fool and had willing walked into the trap placed for him. Jorge looked over to Marcus, his eyes widened in defeat, then around to everyone in the room before he realized that this was no dream.

It took Aigis a moment to process Cyndwella's crude humor but it took effect no less. The automata's smile slowly became more genuine as she began to slowly understand her humor. "I see. The joke is that the difference between garbanzo and chickpea is irrelevant. The joke is that the chickpea sounds similar to a female urinating and that one would pay a premium sum for that act to be performed on them for sexual gratification. That is quite humorous indeed."

As the two talked the merchant began to look uncomfortable, as his eyes darted around as if he were on the lookout for something or someone.
