An Offer

[Alessandra]

Seemed like a fair thing, give him time to put the finishing touches on them. “Sounds reasonable to me. But don’t think I need to sign off on all your ideas and plans, I am simply curious. I offered you the role because I trust you.” And he had yet to let her down. Yet was the key term for her. Because they always do. “And I’m glad to hear you perfectly understand my expectations, as they have been snubbed in the past.” But no need to get into that.

[Jacque]

"I'm glad for both your curiosity and the autonomy. I feel through our work together that I have a good grasp on when you'd prefer to be looped in with in advance." Some of his ideas would definitely need require transparency.

"Fools squander power and opportunity. I like to think I've shown myself to be the contrary." Making the most of every ounce. "I suppose I have some new business to delve into," he grinned as he lifted from his seat.

No time like the present, "Unless you needed to cover anything else with me?" He flashed a coy grin, "We'll have to settle our stalemate one of these nights."

[Alessandra]

There was a simple nod. While there was truth in what Jacque said, there would always be part of her that fought against it. Years of experience always at the back of her mind. But that also came with wisdom. Letting one prove themselves as allies…or foes.

A small smirk tugs the corners of her lips, “Very true words.” As to which she was referring? She wasn’t saying.

A shake of her head, “Not at the moment, that was the most pressing matter.” Standing as well before chuckling, “I’ll look forward to it, it was an enjoyable evening.” Relaxing in an odd way.

[Jacque]

The Lord bowed his head once more before making his exit, "Enjoy the rest of your evening, Your Grace."

Thanks for the scene!

[Alessandra]

A nod of her head, "And you as well Seneschal Jacque."

Was a great scene, thank you!
