You've heard about the Barbarians, of course, but you've always just kind of ignored them, coming from the hill provinces and all.
"Are there any politicians actually talking about, well, talking? To the barbarians? Seems like it should be a thing, right?" you ask.
She gives you a quizzical look. "Astrapius Mondrian brought up opening negotiations a year or so ago in the Senate. He was quickly denounced as a traitor by the Magistrate - that was Gorecki then, I think - and by the heads of most of the noble houses. He hasn't gotten much done since either. Still gives speeches sometimes but nobody will work with him."
You silently curse your lack of political knowledge.
Whatever. You're gonna head out soon, so why not see if you've got a chance with this woman?
"Hey, you're good at talking about politics." you say in your sexiest voice. "Wanna talk - about the politics - of my ASS??"
"And I thought you were actually interested in the issues. Well, no." She walks away.
