    Campanella places his glass delicately on his desk.

    "It would seem there is an agreement, then. Let us see how things transpire in the Duel first though."

    His lips quirked upward as the Ladder and the Guardian wound down the conversation.

    "No matter the result, I believe the Lex to be in good hands. Which does put in mind to say something..."

    The Moros shifted his weight in his seat and, after giving Winter an acknowledging nod that freed the Guardian if he wished to leave, he focussed his attention on Cosmo .

    Cosmo was ready to go, but it seemed he wasn't dismissed yet. As the silence dragged on he simply looked back and forth between Winter and Campanella. He was clearly lost, and continued to stand amid his confusion.

    "What's up?"

    His voice pierced the budding silence, hoping someone would follow suit.

    Visual lag (jerky motions, sudden starts and stops) seems to occur around the onlookers' periphery, and the world takes on muted rainbow shades that shift and bend, like a magnet near a CRT television.

    It seemed that the meeting had wound a swift conclusion, and Mobius gathered herself to leave. It seemed like there was more business between Cosmo and the Hierarch, but it wasn't her place to intrude. Nothing left to do but wait for decision day.

    She slowly made her way towards the exit, lingering just a moment to see if her presence was required any longer.

    Unless otherwise stopped Mobius waves and mouths a silent farewell, leaving the scene.

    Campanella sensed the conversation was rapidly slipping away.

    "I believe the Lex may need a slight adjustment to reflect our current reality," he said quickly.

    "I believe the Lex still references Cabal's over individuals, which is something that will have to be addressed. There hasn't been a Cabal in the Consilium for a while. We seem to be winding up here - but just check the Lex out if you get the chance and see what you think. We can talk abut it later in more detail if you wish."

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    The topic of the Charter was breached. It's not that he didn't get it, laws were useful after all, it's just that people seemed to care too much about those comfortable ivory thrones and ended up missing the whole point.
    Case in point, forcing one to duel a Fool because they were too weak to recognize and punish somebody who risked exposing the Mysteries.

    Comfort was the right word, because laws absolved you from the burden of thinking, and thinking was indeed HARD.
    Do as WE say, because what we prescribe is right. But in their world, might more often than not made right. But right wasn't Right, take the Exarchs for example. So, at the end of the day, you ended up trapping yourself in a moral cage that was thousands years too old to question.
    Always question everything.

    The Guardian slides back in his seat. Adjustments to the charter and breaches of the Law needed to be brought in front of the Council. Since Sand's departure the Mighty lacked a representative, if anything, they had split responsibility. But he was the longest serving Obrimos in the Consilium.
    He couldn't be Sentinel and a Council at once, and neither the Hierarch could, which meant that whatever was said right now had to be informal.
    "Didn't we account for that with the latest revision?"

    "I'll give it a look and get back to you."

    Cosmo didn't know what was addressed by who when, but that didn't mean the Ladder would be averse to asserting his order's authority and expertise when offered the chance. Really, he was just surprised at the turn around from being told he was to new to have an opinion to being summoned as a witness and requested for Factotum services. Maybe he had misread the exchange before, or maybe he unwittingly set himself up to prove himself in the eyes of others. He didn't know, and he didn't really care enough to ask.

    "Fair enough," Campanella nodded.

    He glanced at Winter. "Perhaps. It is an opportune time to look again - just to be sure."

    I think the scene has wound down. Shall we close it?
