Isn't this interesting?  With so many people of importance missing, I'd be a fool to assume this mere coincidence.  Which of us who speaks up will be next, I wonder?

Good question.

[not_asoldier]

They can have the psychopaths...

[flyfromnobility]

Oh, by all means, I agree. Ironic how they haven't been taken already, given how they seem all to eager to take up the starring role.

[stealtherose]

We need to do something.

[flyfromnobility]

Frankly, I'd rather not be next in the line of kidnappings. Obviously, the route of open rebellion is hardly the way to go.

[stealtherose]

It never has been, Balthier. I did not sit in the shadows for two years and take my kingdom back to see the same happening somewhere else.

We need to talk.

[flyfromnobility]

I wouldn't say you sat in the shadows for all that time, Princess.

Talk? I suppose I could spare a few minutes of my time. Where would you like to meet?

[unheardviera]

When the voices are so few that they can be silenced so...there must be more voices.

[flyfromnobility]

Of course there are. And there will only be more voices in the wake. I'd say this plan was poorly thought out, wouldn't you?

[unheardviera]

Those in power often overestimate the limits of that power.

If you wish to do anything about this, I am with you.

[flyfromnobility]

It seems almost a rule of life.

We'll see if there's anything left to be done by the time the curtain's opened. For now, it seems we've got a date with the queen, if you'd care to accompany me.

This city would better stand without certain others; how unfortunate that those ones were not taken in place of the more... necessary. Do bite your tongue, Ffamran. Perhaps speaking of the issue at all will sink you into the trap of our hidden lords.

[unheardviera]

You favor inaction when we all are prey to the whim of these hidden lords?

[withoutvenat]

Inaction? Hardly. But there is a time and a place for one to test the fates, and I would rather still being alive for that time.

I wonder, pirate, do you miss the skies?

[unheardviera]

I wonder that one who has conquered can say this. It seems to me that to those who are conquered, there is no time and place. There is only what is given them.

Always.
