"I met with Alessandra, Tried to get her to give me Florin. She wouldn't do it. I doubt she will ever restore the Ordo Dracul unless we get something over her." Atticus explained. "To be honest, she kept saying she was willing to work with us, she kept saying she didn't mean to punish the whole of the Ordo, but I don't believe her. I tried to explain to her that we are not a bunch of lemmings dancing to tune that Lina plays. I don't think it stuck."
Atticus paused for a moment, remaining calm through this reveal. "Her trust in the Dragon, it might well be shot to hell. And I'm trying to suss out who I blame."
Another length of time went by, and the Fisherman lit another cigarette, "And right now I blame them both, especially..." He let the rest of his words drift out the window with the smoke from his cigarette.
