week 4; tuesday ( tiger )

[axilium]

[okay, so belph kind of knew there was a plan to break into the crafters' quarters beforehand, so hopefully tiger won't kill him for that, but.

hi?]

... Bad day?

[Belph is already on thin ice, but that's mostly because she's very clearly in a horrible mood. Her room is currently Off Limits for obvious reasons, so she's glowering from her throne, nails gripping the arms.]

I've had worse.

[axilium]

So... I'm sure this is a very touchy subject, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't kill me for it, but... got any idea what sparked a sudden invasion into your room?

[themodsgrimm]

Oh, I know exactly why they did it.

[It just doesn't make her any less angry, whoops.]

I'm sure if you ask the ringleader, he'll be happy to come clean about it. Incredibly loose-lipped, that one.

[axilium]

... That Evan guy?

[themodsgrimm]

As far as I could tell.

[She grits her teeth, realizing she still shouldn't confirm anything despite being hella annoyed.]

[axilium]

... Huh. He's pretty ballsy, in spite of how timid he seems.

[themodsgrimm]

That's one way to put it.

[Ballsy, rude, matter of opinion.]

If I didn't at least respect the decisions that were made in some respect, they wouldn't have gotten off so lightly.

[axilium]

How gracious and merciful you are, Ms. Tiger.

[themodsgrimm]

[Hardly. Still, she rolls her eyes.]

That's what I'm saying.

[She could have just, like, killed them?]

I doubt many will share that opinion after what happened this weekend, but given what was stolen from me, I'd say I showed remarkable restraint today.

[axilium]

Aaaaam I allowed to ask what that was, or...?

[themodsgrimm]

[She thinks about it.]

I'm sure word will spread back to you again before too long, so I won't waste my breath.

[But then she pauses again.]

But I'll tell you they stole three things, and one of those things you or your fellow Vizier may be interested in using for yourself, based on past questions you've asked me.

[axilium]

... We've asked a lot of questions.

[themodsgrimm]

[She sighs.]

Okay, one of the most recent questions you asked me.

[axilium]

[... well, that narrows it down, if he assumes right.]

I'm going to assume it's not about Steph's leg.

[themodsgrimm]

[That gets a bark of a laugh out of her.]

That’s a safe enough assumption.

[axilium]

... Is it about changing titles?

[he doesn't really expect an answer, but.]

[themodsgrimm]

I'd say that's a step in the right direction!

[ding ding!]
