Stax adjusted his short collar and preened his mullet as he crossed the threshold into the Reeve's office. His narrowed eyes slid across Emma as she joined them before settling more firmly on Alessandra.
"Thank you, Reeve. I do not believe I need to recount the unhappy events of recent nights? No? If you have pen and paper I can give you Lina's number, I suppose. I am sure it won't come to that."
Once Stax had wrote out the number, he strikes a pose once more. Once again, a poised hand runs through his hair.
"Well. Let us get down to business. Once again, I wish to offer my regret for me and my associates disrupting the nights of your Domain. For that I am willing to offer a Major Boon to you, Reeve, as representative of your Prince. I shall, naturally, eh provide my own contact details once the agreement is struck."
He paused to add his own contact details to the note.
"But that is not all that happened here, is it. The peace of Elysium was disturbed, yes. So I shall offer a second major boon - again for myself and my friends. A price, we shall say, for causing further undue disruption. I shall give up my pursuit of the renegade, Carson Forde. You correctly say that he killed in your territory and wrecked havoc here; so I think it best that you try him according to your local laws. Yes? This is a good deal?"
He frowned and bit his lip.
"But there is more. I am of the Invictus... And this is an Invictus Domain. It... It was my failings and lack of judgement that allowed this to happen. And this puts our two Domains - and our Covenant - in... question, let me say. So I will offer a third Major Boon... Ah! To be disposed of by your local Judex, yes?"
He looked between the two Savages.
"This is a good compromise, yes. My associates and I will leave. You gain an ally for your Prince and your Domain in San Francisco. I am not without influence there. The Marquis has been most attentive as a mentor..." Turning slightly to Emma, he added: "And I am happy to continue our discussions our Domain's respective power structures, as you seem interested in the subject. Anything to ... Deepen ... ties between us."
A slightly dramatic pause.
"One thing. Let my associates go. They really were paying off debts the Movement owed me. Don't punish them for doing what is correct by our kind, ok? Put the burdens of those Boon's on me."
