[Dragor23]

"To spread your treacherous ideas in my beloved home? Hahaha...No. Consider yourself exciled in this fine city, until you understand hadrian valor and ideals."

Flavius shaked his head.

"How do you even know about the wishes of these people, if you lived not amongst them, but the elves? Tell me."

[Urist McBeanie]

"Given the fact a group of... say two thousand citizens, have come here in order to prevent their enslavement is proof enough. Now you may claim two thousand is not enough to prove my point, but at least this fine group of citizenry here," Gragrar gestures to the crowd behind him, "has the courage to stand for what they believe in, I must ask as well, is it truly in your authority to exile a citizen and the son of a patrician? I believe that is something to be conducted by the emperor."

[Dragor23]

"Do you have any proof for your claims, that you are a patrician? What is your family name?"

Flavius non-chalanty asked with a bored look on his face.

"And I think that they just missunterstand the situation... Maybe I didn't made clear that the elves will stay in the city... As servants and slaves for the citizenry."

[Urist McBeanie]

"I am of the Jynson Family. Perhaps you have not heard, but my father and brothers are dead. I would think someone would have expected me to return? As for the elves, let me just ask you this, what if the citizenry did not want to keep them as slaves and servants? Would you allow them to live freely in the city?

[Dragor23]

Flavius gritted his teeth. That guy was annoying.
"I will let you send a message to the emperor. We will see if you are allowed to have a trial before him."
"And... No. They are free to stay in their... camp."

[Urist McBeanie]

"Thank you. I suppose it is the least I can request. Now if you will excuse me, I have a letter to write."
Gragrar turns and pushes his way back through the crowd and into the elves camp to prepare a letter for the emperor.

[Terenos]

Senator Astralis rose, to speak.

"My fellow senators. I too must voice my opinion in favor of this bill to prevent unjust dismissal of governors mid term. Many a calamitous event may arise in the future of the Hadrian provinces, and it should be most fitting to judge a Governor on all that has occurred within the time of their post. No half measures, which could be misinterpreted.
----------
As far as the proposed bill to enable wise senators to be able to call the Senate for deliberation, I am fully in favor. Yes, it could be used to silence naysayers and pass bills into law, but it will also give us many more chances to react swiftly to events that need the Senates wisdom and clarity. We must not allow our decision making to stagnate. Otherwise barbarians will take advantage of our weakness to strike while we muse and deliberate. Or while our hands are tied since the Senate cannot be called."

Derahoc took a brief pause here. War would be the next topic he addressed. A deep breath and he started to speak.

"And now we come to the proposed declaration of war. I urge caution.The Republic of Kaladur came to us with diplomatic offers. They wish to be our friends, and you propose we invade them to add them to our dominion. What of the Union of Salressa? Will they stand idly by and allow us to grow in strength yet further? What of the Kingdom of Aramos? This is another weak nation, desperate for aid. But your proposal would condemn them to possible destruction.

This course of action while invariably successful, will give us one rebellious province, and one that may not be as loyal as we wish. But what occurs afterwards? The Union of Salressa will not trust us at all. Already they clamor for the freedom of Whitepeak. Destroying their aggressors in the north may give them freedom to strike at us alongside others who would dare to threaten our glory. And in the south, Aramos will be devoured without our aid. Ancarus is rumored to have a mighty army, do we dare to give them time and fresh strength? Their sentiment towards is is ill indeed, they will march to give themselves strength to break us.

I propose we leave Kaladur to its devices. It is friendly enough with us. And in the event it succeeds in its war, we either have a stronger ally, or an enemy we can use Salressian troops against. Plan for the future, and who we will conquer next. We must in all wisdom march south."

Fae picked idly at the plate of rich, if somewhat bland pork in front of him, before pushing up from the table. Giving a compliment to the chief, as well as a large tip, he strode out into the courtyard of his manor, and took a right, into a non-descript add-on to the wall.

There he picked up a wooden broadsword and waited for his Bodyguard to get ready to spar.


"I was expectin' that Emperor to blow this dinner off, but not ya' allies in senate."

"Shutup, Cleaver." Fae barely stopped the growl that started the sentence, instead shifting into a combat stance. His eyes were locked on the claymore within Cleaver's hand.

"Make me, Squirt." and then each lashed out at each other in turn.

At Senator Fae's manor...

The Emperor arrives at the manor's gates with his escort only to see his host and a heavily armed dwarf having at eachother. He doesn't quite know what to make out of the situation and just stands there for a while, observing. It was oddly entertaining... somehow.

[Ardas]

Late hour, after senate meeting...

Crassius arrived at Fae's home after the senate session for yet another social gathering, this time with Emperor Septimus being the guest of honour. No doubt such meetings were a valuable thing for Populars and for the people like fae, who sought to garner Imperial favour. Crassius was not to be left out.

[filiusenox]

After a loud curse, and a cry of  "Me' kidney!" from the dwarf, the two backed away, eyeing each other warily before the Dwarf blunk, his eyes widening, and hurriedly bowed, to which Fae lunged forward, before stopping short and turning around. Fae bowed at the hips and slid the wooden blade in a rack full.

"...Hail, Imperator. I did not expect you at this time of the...night. Or at all today, if I may have your leave."



"I'll go and see dinner is made at once, fitting his highness, sir." and then the dwarf made to hurry off.

[Urist McBeanie]

Gragrar stepped into his small study and began writing a letter to the emperor.

Spoiler: Letter to the Emperor (click to show/hide)

Emperor Septimus,
    I am Gragrar of the Jynson family, I left Hadria five years ago seeing as my two brothers were to succeed my father before I would have such an opportunity. I left to seek knowledge and potential fortune at distant lands. But having heard from my mother that my father and brothers had all unfortunately died. I took a ship to return. I arrived in Cystem, unaware of how much tensions had raised in these past five years between Hadria and the Confederation. Upon learning of it, I settled here amongst the elves' outpost as they requested no money, which I had all but spent in order to return on such short notice. I waited until people would be allowed within the capital of Hadria without suspicion, seeing as I did not intend to be searched and interrogated upon returning to my home. Now, I humbly request that you allow me back into Hadria so that I may rejoin my mother and take up my fathers title.

Sincerely,
Gragrar Jynson

Gragrar sealed the letter and left the camp once more to give it to one of the generals messengers.

[Skyrunner]

After senate:

Asking leave from the Prefect, Lori briskly heads towards the house of the man—Fae, was it?—who had invited Durant to a dinner. Lori fully expected Durant to completely ignore the letter if he wasn't going, and her belief was confirmed. Grumbling about prefects, military men, and their lack of diplomatic relations, she stopped before the main doors, swung her bag behind her cloak, and rapped onthe pillars sharply.

[Caellath]

Waiting by the Emperor's side with his usual calm expression, Durant just watches the sparring men until they are done, smirking slightly at their movement.

[Skyrunner]

((I thought the emperor wasn't at Fae's manor :/
Undo that action if possible.))
