[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5787809, member: 6673727"] The three White Cloaks and Milo listen in silence at Fury's testimony. The former's reaction is mixed - Commander Handso seems pleased at Fury's comments in his favor, Commander Parsons seems intent just to listen, and Coordinator Moretti's stone face gives nothing away - whilst that latter's is anything but: Milo's appreciation at Fury's intercession practically radiates outward. At the very least, Fury's willingness to speak out has secured him a lifelong friend. It's perhaps telling of Milo's priorities that speaking out in favor of cleaning up Ranocchio is what did so, rather than saving his life. When Fury finishes, the Coordinator nods, seemingly thinking over his words carefully. Finally, he says, [COLOR=RoyalBlue]"Your words and passion are almost enough to make me renege on my earlier sentiments, son. That goes for both of you, really..."[/COLOR] he adds hastily, gesturing to Milo. The Coordinator sighs, and for a moment, the steely formality of his position seems to melt into something much more human. [COLOR=RoyalBlue] "You'll have to forgive me, gentlemen; I don't mean to be uncaring towards your plight. It's only that the nature of my position is a delicate one, forcing me to balance the needs of the entirety of Venza: meeting the demands of one district means taking away from the resources of another. The case of Ranocchio has proved especially vexing: for the amount of manpower seemingly required to make an impact on the living conditions there, I could garrison half of Venza and still have men to spare to patrol the border with the Baronies. Do you see my conflict?"[/COLOR] he asks rhetorically, slightly exasperated. The Coordinator pauses a moment, collecting himself. He then turns to address Fury. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]"Tell me a little about yourself, young man. From what I understand, you've been hired as M. De Luca's bodyguard?"[/COLOR] [sblock=OOC]Not trying to make you repeat Fury's story once again, so feel free to keep it short if you'd like. Just seems pertinent, and the kind of thing the Coordinator would ask in the lead up to the next phase of the adventure.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
