Watching Leona pleasantly as she slurred, Martinette made note of every action and movement. "I do enjoy my research, but it sounds like your work is just ...
... "No! Halt! Stop! No more for you, Leona!" Aede saw where this was going, and she didn't want those answers out. Not until she wanted, and in her own...
Martinette looks affronted. "I had no idea secrets were being kept. I apologize if I was intruding." *Just what are you hiding?* She turns to look at Dias and...

... Kumark snaps out of his malaise, smiling and nodding to Martinette. "Kupo, of course, Miss DuBois." He trots over to the three women, then looks up to...
... "Oh?" Aede missed that *entirely*. She had ignored Leona, for the moment, already planning her offence in that conversation. "Pardon, Madamme DuBois, Je...
... Leona quietly speaks in Spanish for a moment: <Oh, so you know French. Lah de #%@*ing dah...> She at least has the good sense to disguise her words as ...

(Ooooooh man but I got sidetracked. A new(ish) girlfriend, schoolwork, the Adventurer's Guild and shiny objects have been yanking my mind in every which way...

... Meirle nods. "When I was there I met maybe ten different Resistor cells operating. Not all of 'em directly, of course, but sometimes it's easy to tell... I...
Suddenly, there is a lack of catgirl, who has been called away to talk business. Ah well. All things in moderation, one supposes. Except, of course,...
... "Assuming, of course, that members of the Resistors don't rip the country apart and begin to fight over the pieces first," Dias says quietly, staring into...

As Leona began to topple, Martinette rushed to her side, supporting the woman. What she heard next came as a surprise, but she didn't show it. ... lie, ... ...
