The Enchanter blinked from his seat next to Animus. Pepper's political talk was not lost on the Syndic, even if she tried to scoot her chair just slightly closer. Hey though, points for attempted Diamond exclusionism.
And speaking of exclusion, the Enchanter cast a miffed glance to
Ermac
as it was so graciously mentioned Panthera Nox would be giving him the privilege of remaining a Councilor if he joined them at least temporarily. How generous of Nous. Emrys was sure the fact that nondiamond Councilors being the only ones at risk was just a coincidence, as was the fact Ermac joining Panthera Nox would give them three of the five Councilors, a Sentinel, and a Provost. How totally not exclusive and politically motivated of them.
"Sorry," Emrys started, having no problem hearing a conversation taking place only a few feet away. "I was under the impression that a table in the back wouldn't be so filled with private conversation. I think I should go."
Emrys rose from his seat, and proceeded to move away from the conversation as quickly as possible.
Unless stopped, Emrys returns to the main thread.
