Naima enters the demiplane at precisely the agreed on time of late evening, because the pirate thing was in fact at no point an emergency that required interrupting Elie from the very important work of creating massive amounts of fabric. Which is good, because Naima all but promised him that Westcrown could survive five days without him in particular babysitting it, and it would be incredibly upsetting if Élie believed her and then was forced to conclude that, in fact, Cheliax cannot go five days without him babysitting it in particular.

 

I'm home. I bring unfortunate dramatic news, though you can tell it's not actually an emergency by the fact that you're getting it now.

Please tell me all my delegates are still alive.

All of your delegates are still alive. Well, except the count who won't come back, we're deciding what to do about him.

Andoren Eagle Knights decided to respond to the delay in abolition by burning ships in the Westcrown port, in an attempt to keep them from shipping slaves out of the country. They were apparently unaware that the Queen had closed the ports.

To be clear, they didn't succeed; Alfirin stopped them quietly, and they are currently in the dungeons pretending not to be from Andoran, I believe formally on suspicion of ...it's something to do with cod. We don't think anyone important knows.

There are a lot of reasons to dislike Andorens. Such as: they're so smug about how their revolution succeeded when they've still got half their old feudal nobility and you try rebelling against Cheliax without an archmage and they'd have been conquered years ago without Galt and nobody believes they have real elections anyway, and Supreme Elect is a stupid title – but most of it is that they try to pull shit like this. 

Do you remember what Codwin told me when I asked him for advice on the convention?

Nnnnnno, which thing was this?

He said we should just make the country a full Republic and have done with it. As if I didn't want to. Obviously he didn't, the hypocrite.

That does seem like quite a bit more of a headache.

She likes Codwin all right, really, though half of that is just that the man helped them take Citadel Rivad. Was killed helping them take Citadel Rivad, actually, though of course she put him right back.

I admit, I'm not very sure what we should do with the Eagle Knights. We can't admit to having them until after the vote, if we don't want it to affect things.

Certainly not. We'll just have to save them from sabotaging their own cause out of sheer willful incompetence. ...Who else knows? What pretext are they being held under?

Uhhh... industrial sabotage, I believe the word was? Attempting to drive up the price of cod? The Queen, obviously, and de Montero, but I don't think we know of anyone else. Alfirin arrested them personally.

I hope the vote goes well. For its own sake, obviously, but also because I'm going to have to have an awkward conversation with Codwin and it would be much less unpleasant for me if I get to be smug.

I think it will. I think we got them, and the convention seemed decided on it. But I suppose we won't know until Moonday.

Here Ends This Thread
