I watch the proceedings, the threats, the demands. They have no physical evidence, but they have accusations and hearsay. They certainly seem passionate about their accusations. The Regent's razor like precision in her words and actions are to be commended. She obviously chooses her words carefully, which makes sense in this situation, she seems to have no allies in this room. I could easily step up and put my hat into her ring, but what good would it do me other then making an enemy of my other priscus.
At the mention of the death of Baldwin an eyebrow raises for a moment, if I said I was sad about Baldwin's death, I would be lying. He had his uses, but at least now I don't have to worry about him descending even further into madness and coming after Julian or I.
A challenge is laid forth now. Monomancy again, another pending murder. Seriously such a waste of useful tools.
I look to his Majesty, wondering what his thoughts were about this squabbling back and forth. My gaze then turns to the Regent. If Regent Brady is truly innocent, then why do we not just accept her offer of Auspex interrogation. That does also assume that anyone hear can pierce the Regent and get an accurate reading.
So many thoughts tumbling about, and I still don't think I know enough. Priscus Sterling does have a point, the chain of evidence is not exactly clear. After all words do not equal evidence. And we have no tangible evidence. And the only one who is truly impartial in the room... is me. черт побери.
"If I may, Regent Brady has leveled a challenge of Monomancy. At the same point, she has also offered to make herself available to be scrutinized utilizing Dominance and Auspex. So, before this conversation spirals even further out of control, I recommend we proceed with that first. After the questioning, if we are still not satisfied, then the conversation can move back to that of Monomancy." I try to be the voice of reason in this. It is obvious that Regan and Burns are angry and will not allow their opinions to be changed without evidence. But will they be willing to face the consequences if their accusations are proven inaccurate.
