[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5882879, member: 6673727"] Milo laughs at his wife's interjection. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "She's right, you know, if I do say so myself. Haven't you learned that yet?"[/COLOR] he adds with a child-like grin. Parsons, however, seems to need a little more convincing. [COLOR="Gray"] "Milo, you can't be serious...No offense, Orlando, but you just don't strike me as a White Cloaks member. And who's to say you'd even be stationed in Ranocchio..."[/COLOR] Milo raises his hand to forestall further argument. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"I'm not suggesting Fury mire himself in bureaucracy and procedure by joining the rank-and-file White Cloaks. I think we could all agree that he's not suited for such a context. What I'm suggesting is that we create a new role, a liaison between the White Cloaks and the general public."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Gray"]"But we don't [I]need[/I] a liaison..."[/COLOR] Milo interjects sternly. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"No, [I]Roses D'Avorio[/I] doesn't need a liaison. I dare say that you do, for the Planks at least. Just look at what you found yesterday,"[/COLOR] he continues, gesturing out the window. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"The Krakens were about to start a bloody pesh refinery here. And the White Cloaks had no idea. [I]No idea.[/I] I don't mean to be harsh here, Galen, and I don't attribute the failing to you, but still: it's the truth. I don't think it's a coincidence that we only learned about this when Fury got involved. He's able to have the conversations you aren't, and twist the elbows you can't..."[/COLOR] Parsons remains unconvinced. [COLOR="Gray"]"We don't need a mercenary, Milo..."[/COLOR] [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"He's not going to [I]be[/I] a mercenary, Galen. He's going to be an intermediary. Someone who can get the White Cloaks the information they need, and show the people that one of their own has had enough, and is helping to take care of their district. With someone doing that, they'll have to realize that their problems aren't caused by somebody else - the Krakens, the White Cloaks, whomever - but by themselves. They're their own responsibility. I think Fury's presence as the official People's Liaison to the White Cloaks would go a long way in that regard."[/COLOR] As it is often wont to do, Milo's hand forestalls further argument. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "I've made up my mind, Galen. As long as Orlando is willing, of course,"[/COLOR] he adds with a sidelong glance,[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "I'm going to make a proposal for his installment as People's Liaison to the White Cloaks at the next meeting of the Council of the People. And I dare say that if the Coordinator is really intending on capitalizing on this whole shenanigan, he'd do well to go along with this. It would be hard for him to claim the role of Ranocchio's savior otherwise."[/COLOR] Satisfied with his argument, Milo sits back in his chair and takes a sip of his coffee. [/QUOTE]
