"When should I start going out and doing interviews again? Do you need to see my arcane mark, I don't have it today but it's on some of my things."

"I expect it will be around a day of turnaround to start publishing most of them, maybe two or three occasionally, and I have something else planned for publishing tomorrow, so if you start seeking them out today I expect I'll be able to publish it on Wealday or Oathday. How often will you want to get more out, do you think?"

"I was doing between one and three a day... notwithstanding the time Lady Eriape broke into my apartment."

"Take heart; I strongly suspect that very soon someone will be returning the favor on your behalf. I'd advise a slower pace, just daily, at least to start, but if you bring me more I'll look at them as quickly as I have time."

"Yes my lady. Should I also keep them on the short end?"

"I'd rather have fewer longer ones than more short ones, but I don't want to put too much restriction on what you write, the legal needs are bad enough. Use your judgment; it's served you well so far."

"Thank you my lady."

"Thank you, Mr. Monreal. I think we're doing a good thing for the city and the country, here."

"- are you going to want me to publish under my name?"

"No, The Inquirer is fine. But for a contract, or to intercede if you're arrested, I need a name, and it's not that hard to get one with fifteen years of practice."

"I understand."

"Then I think there's nothing else to be said. Good evening, Mr. Monreal, and I look forward to speaking with you again."

"Thank you very much, Lady Bainilus."

And she'll nod, and leave him alone.
