"My own tribulations are paltry in comparison, you have my sympathies," Blackbird said. It was quite a tale and truly she couldn't attempt to draw correlations. "Still, the unity among your covenant is clear. It wouldn't be so without your efforts. Perhaps, your trials have led you to that point."
"I am grateful, Krieg," she said as the Haunt affirmed he would speak to Boyle, "I apologize if you see it as petty and perhaps part of it has to do with vanity... but I feel I've contributed heavily."
As the talk turned to his relationship, Blackbird listened and, slowly, she nodded. "Your conviction is admirable," she offers, "I'm afraid I don't know the details. In truth, if Sheriff Moretti felt I should know, she would have brought me in. It may be best to keep the matter private... That said, you strike as a man of sound judgement and, while I'll admit I don't wholly agree with opposing Her Majesty, I know you wouldn't have done so unless you felt you must."
She'd look over the report that Krieg proved, taking particular note of the mention of her actions. "I'm appreciative that you mentioned my contributions," she said, "Do you need my signature?"
Then his closing comments. His compliment had an effect. Blackbird relaxed, her smile softened, and the telltale glint of her ego hit her eyes. She let his statement sink, drinking in the praise for few brief moments before continuing.
"Thank you, Krieg. Truly." she offers, "That being said, I think this report is an important reminder of our business. If you are feeling ready to discuss the matter, of course."
