>Adler-Relda: It's unlikely the Vulpitanians would have staged this whole event just for your brother, they're too "thrifty" for that. There is sure to be something else, something huge. They would never do something this bold unless they could back it up. What's going on at the dinner may very well hold the fate of the realm in the balance, but you need to find your brother. If only you could be in two places at once, if only you had access to someone or someones who are experts in tracking people down. WAIT! You need the Ixies and Lemmy! The Ixies are irritating and small and Lemmy is a semi-expert snoop. They can scour every nook and cranny of the city while you probe the Vulpitanians for info, and they WILL do it if they know what's good for them. Your brother's life is on the line, so seelieness be damned!
>Sugar-head Ixie: There are wards around Estmere that keep creatures like you from getting close, but the queen is patrolling a perimeter, in your sugar addled state, tell her the truth about Estmere in hopes she'll pass it on.
>Queen: Well then... This changes a few things. Not to worry, you've worked too hard to get this position to lose it so easily, you have back-up plans. So many back-up plans. Turn your suddenly cold gaze over to where your husband was... Where did he go?
>Estmere: Man this totally bites. Being the supreme ruler of everything was supposed to be a sweet and easy gig, but now it's a headache. And all this talk about your bro turning traitor sounds bogus. What're they smoking? Your bro would never do anything to hurt you. It sounds more likely that he's gotten roped into something and is in way over his head. What if he's in trouble? You know he's a hopeless wreck without you. What if he needs you to rescue him!
>Lemmy: You're out of your league here. Cut your losses and make a run for it. This is bad, the Duchess will boil your family alive if she finds out you messed up this badly! You need someone indispensable enough she won't dare strike at to negotiate you out of this mess. Where's Adler?! It's time to call in a favor.
