This place is terrible. Like. Like not the place, the Cube was still VERY impressive, but this whole... congregation. Awful. After some last minute writing and letter-sealing (unsurprisingly, the Postmaster just HAD a full stationary kit on her person, and was quickly able to get a few things on their way out,) it was time to... Exist. Formally. Because the Post was a power and they had things to be doing.
Like chatting up Durgana, first, because she had just promised to do so and also she DID have to know that all the Snorris and the Bardinas said hi, but after that! More official business. What would have been ideal would be to talk to the Big Son Of A Gun, because she just met those guys and they looked like one hell of a cool northern neighbor, but the druids beat her to it. Maybe later. For now? Dubois and Hassletongue had a dance to cut in on. Better than dealing with some people here. Lookin' at you, Tara, but not directly so that you don't notice and have no reason to enter my personal space.
"Rioch, Paramount, Prime Minister. Can't help but overhear, likely to the chagrin of everyone politely pretending they're deaf in this Cube." Seemed she wasn't going to be as polite as everyone ignoring this shitshow, but, yakno. Stern didn't equal rude, at least. "Wasn't quite expecting threats to be thrown around here so blatantly, but I suppose you and I have a little to learn today, wouldn't you say, Geród? I must confess that I still find myself confused, as to why it is considered 'factionalizing' and otherwise so troublesome to the Alliance for a state to find itself better under its own control - as it still seeks to provide better to the Alliance for it. It is perplexing to me that the open reaction from the most relevant party is to tell it to try and make an agreement else they get punished, when already they've been shot down from trying to do so. It just seems that, if Alliance's interests are the issue we are choosing to have with the Paramount's attendance, their forming and implementing of a solution is not of equal contribution to the problem as, say, hindering a portion of their old populace through poor 'housekeeping'. Perhaps someone could enlighten me? Or, failing this, an old hat could give a little advice on the... newest attempt at negotiation, if it is found desirable."
