[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6430703, member: 23484"] Jim is naturally cautious around the French -- who wouldn't be? -- and he's not certain he can get a read on this one. [Insight to determine bonds; [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4711995/"]1d20+3=9[/URL].] He steps up, and he removes his hat, so that his eyes can be seen. [COLOR="#800000"]"If I may, sir. James Barrington. The only relevant issues[/color] [a word he pronounces "iss-youse"][COLOR="#800000"] are the practicalities. What resources will you provide to the expedition, and what returns do you seek? Do you know of rival expeditions operating on this chase with whom we shall be in competition? Hm. Other things. If you are not to travel with us, do you intend to send a representative? And, finally, if we accept this ... invitation ... are we obliged to sail under a French flag? [i]Un drap-o frawn-say,[/i] what?"[/COLOR] He turns to the assembled crowd and raises his eyebrows, the corners of his lips pushed down as if he had encountered a repugnant odour. He hopes to elicit some smiles with this sentiment, and his mispronunciation of [i]un drapeau francais[/i]. But beneath it lies a serious concern... is this expedition connected to the French government and [I]le Roi Soleil[/I]? Or is he using another crew in pursuit of goals that might be hostile to the Sun King? Jim turns back to their host, and pours himself a glass of wine from the bottle in front of du Tourbillon. There is a supercilious smirk on his face, English hauteur, but his concerns are presented as businesslike and practical. [/QUOTE]
