He looks like he's looking for Cansellarion too! He'll nod at her and come over to help her look. What is the man doing?

Xavier is also very confused about this and hoping to beard Alex and ask him what he's doing, and will join them both.

Carlota has a philosophy of never doing things magic or other people can do so she's asked her servants to find him and is as a backup using a Locate Object to chase his placard down. 

"Duchess, gentlemen." This is the part where the royalists tell him what the queen already did: that he was being an idiot and destroying the country and he should get more sleep and also a wife.

Carlota's not going to say that last part, it'd come across self-interested. "Count. ...are you quite well? You really don't look it."

Xavier will nod to the Count an appropriate amount given their respective ranks and endeavor to avoid looming.

Joan-Pau will be polite and otherwise let Carlota talk.

"I have not slept in eight months which with the benefit of hindsight was an error. A friend pointed it out to me this morning after my mistake on the floor." Really the lack of sleep on its own isn't the whole problem, it's the trying to do four sometimes-contradictory high-stakes jobs at the same time.

Well that'll do it and is one of the most reassuring explanations, really. "Good gods. I had wondered what kind of illness or enchantment could even touch you and I suppose I should really have guessed the answer immediately."

"Hubris?"

"I assume your friend already told you to pass more work on to your aides, and you said yes, of course, and don't need to hear it again?"

"Technically, she told me to find a wife who'd remind me to take care of myself, but I did realize that I should pass more work to my aides, yes... I will need to find some new ones, though, my current staffs are overworked as is."

"When the Goddess was busy beating Asmodeus so badly He had to withdraw from this planet entire She should really have considered the personnel problems She was going to leave us with. ...I take it you and Valia Wain are not working together and her errors not related to yours."

"I'm sure I can find you some names," says Joan-Pau, who is the exact combination of "in debt" and "very charismatic" who most needs to get someone else to employ his friends.

(They won't be incompetent, of course. That would be a betrayal. They'll just be his friends.)

"Unrelated, except insofar as if I had been better-rested and had fewer things drawing away my attention I might have noticed something sooner, or taken the time to talk to her and to Select Artigas rather than assuming the church had that in hand. I would have spoken to her right after her speech, had not Feliu gotten to her first. I still intend to but given that it's not an emergency I will wait until my wits are about me.

...Assuming, of course, that Feliu is not in some manner of his own afflicted, at the moment?" If Joan-Pau tells him that Feliu is mad with lycanthropy he will declare an emergency and steal half a dozen Lastwallers from their own very important jobs to keep an eye on the convention for a couple days.

"Feliu is fine. He's the only Iomedaean here not overburdened with work, and if you give him something nice and simple any paladin can solve he will take to it with delight."

Carlota would propose that Feliu sit down with Delegate Wain and Delegate Artigas every morning at breakfast and go over their plans for the day and disrecommend any that are open treason, but probably the point has been made and that will happen without her further pushing for it. 

"Well, if he has a way to get around I can think of a thing or two. Even if not - if you see him, can you ask him to talk to the other Select today? Blai Artigas? Just to make sure there's not another situation there."

"For problems solvable with a sword outside convention hours, he does," says Joan-Pau, who has reached the stage of being a fifth circle wizard where he only brings it up implicitly and where it is relevant to the conversation at hand. "I'll let him know. Anything he should know about Artegas he doesn't?"

"...Yes, and I'll tell you in private if you'll agree to share it with nobody but Feliu until such time as you learn it by other means."

It would be very unsporting to with that prompt go digging into Artigas so she won't do it. She might reread the notes on him her staff have already compiled, though. 

"- I don't have mind blank," he says, "but will agree to that."

It's not secret, just somewhat private. If it was secret he wouldn't even have mentioned it, and tracked down Feliu himself.

He nods. "After this, then. Anything else? Archduke, do you have any complaints about my behavior today?"

"I wanted to ask if the heated floor debates are because it's more Republican that way or because you weren't sure who to go to to get your concessions in private ahead of time but if you haven't slept in eight months then I think it'd be positively indecent to try negotiating anything with you right now. Maybe we can speak about it tomorrow."

"As the Duchess says - I'd like to know if you're trying to do something and if so how to work with you instead of against you in doing it, but I think that's a conversation for after you've slept."

"Then I will talk to both of you tomorrow."

It is not exactly a courteous dismissal but he is a (temporary) madman; she nods her head and makes herself scarce.

As does Xavier.

"Blai Artigas was a third-circle cleric of Asmodeus stationed at the worldwound. After the war Asmodeus dropped him and Iomedae picked him up. His conversion is wholly sincere, just - it's context that Feliu should have. It's not secret but I'd rather you didn't spread it about, for obvious reasons."

"Quite."

"According to Terzić he was the kind of Asmodean who tyrannized his subordinates by ordering them to play chess with him, and when he switched to Lastwall's garrison manual his soldiers complained that the new punishments were harsher than they were used to. It's almost a miracle he survived at all. Do not use his past against him, I will be rather annoyed with you if you do."

"- Of course not." He looks offended, though he conceals most of it. Feliu doesn't do that.

Feliu doesn't. Joan-Pau is an occasional oathbreaker and Alexeara has lower expectations of those than of paladins of Iomedae.

Yes, he knew what he was burning. He'll let Count Cansellarion sleep.

He'll sleep tonight. He's still got a pair of committee meetings today, though he'll try not to throw himself into the middle of any more Molthuni bickering until tomorrow.
