Message: <blockquote data-quote="jkason" data-source="post: 6403258" data-attributes="member: 2710">Eanos Setirav, human inquisitorEanos raises an eyebrow and gives a brief, bemused frown to Tyrien after her rather literal jab, but the expression is fleeting, as he shakes it off to turn his attention fully to Cato."Like the lady says," Eanos begins, "She...I guess all of us... thought or hoped--blind or otherwise--that the truth might curb some of the bloodshed. Been a lot of that, of late, but when the two of you stopped assuming guilt and started working ... wouldn't say together, but maybe not so much at odds, well..." here he jabs his thumb toward the window, indicating Gandling at large. "You thought and looked outside the box, and now your folk aren't nearly as afraid anymore, yes?"'He shrugs, nodding toward the papers Cato referenced earlier. "Sure that says King's not so inclined to accord, but seems to me there's a lot of putting on a show there, yes?" the truth seeker continues. "Hard to figure Don Faizal would keep anyone on his right or left side who was nothing but a sword waiting to slit a throat. Faizal saw something more there, at least, or so it seems to me. "And, like I said, he knows how to put on the right kind of show to keep the troops happy, yes? Couldn't help notice that as long as they're having that big, loud party, nobody's dying, 'cause all the hands are full of mugs and not blades. Maybe that's not an accident?"Sweet and Rahor made it clear there's plenty of other bad blood built up in the meantime, but maybe, just maybe, King's got himself a bit of an idea. Maybe there's a road--thin and narrow and not so smooth, but there--where no one has to lose face, but no one else has to go dying."Eanos shrugs again. "We're on our way out, and don't suppose we ever had all that much influence 'round here, but figured: never hurts to consider all the options. Just good business, yes?"</blockquote>
