exsilium | [Video] May 6th

[This is the second time only that he's used video function, only because he knows about a suspicious paranoid fellow Guild member who will demand to see him. He looks wind-swept, tired and grumpy, the latter of which is basically his usual expression.

He's standing to one side of a building that's he come in front, and he nods his head at someone off screen before he finally looks at the camera.]

At least the other place was hospitable. This place is still the same, though I see the addition of a flying machine has been added. I missed out on some entertainment. [He doesn't particularly sound enthused and his eyes narrow dangerously.] I'll be interested to hear some of your adventures in a private talk. [Maybe at gunpoint.]

[He openly sneers before changing to private setting. Someone woke on up the wrong side of the hovercraft.]

[Private to Elza]
[He still looks grumpy and unhappy, but there's more hardness in his expression as well. This is business first.]

Meet at the usual place. Did you settle my contract in my absence?

[He stares at the feed for a long moment before shaking his head a little.] An unpleasant one by the look of it.

Far less than deserved. [Her eyes are as cold as ice as her lips pull up into a pleasant smile.] The contract is still yours to settle.

It's unlike you to take it easy on anyone. [He's already thinking about what she's probably done.] It will be settled when the person in question can offer intelligent conversation.

I had no desire to waste my time. [She also had to take a day to recover from her own poisoning. While it can't be seen over the feed, she is definitely more pale while moving through the city.] Then you will need to wait two, three more days at most.

Squealed that quickly, hmm? [He doesn't look amused by the idea, and he knows her methods well enough to know what she will chose first and move to second.] I do hope there isn't permanent damage.

He is rather uneducated for a Silverberg. [He would guess correctly, but she didn't think Caesar could survive her usual tactics.] He should recover fully in a week.

Untested, you mean. He's still quite young, but he's learned a valuable lesson now. [He knows she will have to recover as well. He hasn't been gone that long after all.] That's good. I don't like negotiating with someone not fully in their senses.

We will see how he applies himself from now. [She's a stubborn woman. Not even her recovery would stop her.] Indeed. It would be an insult to one of your station, Guild Master.

He won't underestimate the Guild any longer. [He's well-aware that she will be at their appointed meeting place as quickly as she can. He takes his time moving in that direction, giving her opportunity to be there before him if she likes.] Any other matters of business to report?

He would be a fool to if he does. [ She's actually more interested to see how he holds himself, and thank you Clive, she's on her way there now.] There is nothing else of significance. The mission they wished us to attend, I remained behind.

Silverbergs are generally not fools. [He's almost there himself, though he is still taking his time to meet with her.] Nothing that could benefit us?

No, and I suppose we will see if that is a tradition that holds in the future generations. [So kind of you, Clive. She should be there in another five minutes.] Not at all. I've no interest in demolition. It's a waste of our skills.

I have some faith in bloodlines. [Funny, since he has no idea his own bloodline. He doesn't concentrate that as he moves to the overhang of the building to get out of the rain.] It's better for the apprentices.

Heh, that is no surprised, handsome. [She's almost there now, and is too distracted to notice your presence.] Mmm quite. Be seeing you soon.

[It's a good sign if she's calling him that nickname. Maybe she won't hurt him too bad.] Yes, keep a weathered eye and I'll see you soon.
