The majority's alternative is to sit and whine about every little thing.

What's really on your mind?

It is a bit fuzzy, you see. Ze lack of sleep. Or I should say ze curse for that is my guess on what it is.

You aspire to power, milord, ja. Not uncommon, but there are a few that can truly obtain it.

There are two kinds of people that try to seize true power. One does it for themselves. The other does it for themselves with ze fine speeches they are doing it for the sake of others. Which are you? One is not right over ze other. It is easier to do business if I know which one I am dealing with, ja.

Perceptive insomniac.

Former with a bit of the latter.

Heh.

Oh my, my guess would have been all the former. Now I will wonder whose sake you claim for. A military? No, no. You lead, but only get your hands dirty if you must, ja?

Lets leave it at 'allies are a important resource'.

Ja, I bet they are.

But you've been here quite a long time, milord. Do you ever wish it was your turn to take the boat back?

True power is behind the throne, or in this case, boat's captain.

You want lord and ownership over this place?

Re: [Private] valentineluke September 12 2011, 02:03:44 UTC
No, that's for the captain.

But there are far too many of them in this place, ja. Only a handful, but one is louder than the others. Unless you have one that you would like to take that position.

Agreed.

I do support a experienced candidate. As for their name, that is something you will have to discover on your own. Nothing personal, but I've laid enough cards out on the table for the time being.

You have been gracious, milord. And it is splendid. I was wondering when one of you would show up. One that would alter their circumstances in a manner suited for secrecy.

But if you don't mind me talking off your ear, what do you think of the expedition that is to head out shortly?

Well worth the wait, I hope.

A fool's errand.

Heh. Does that mean I need to start getting flower arrangements for them, or that they will come back empty handed?

Best play it safe by covering both possibilities. Go to a bar and spend a few hours drinking toasts to them.
