"Until recently I was under her command. Certain vents led me to become her superior, however. To her displeasure."
Any success of mine is a nightmare to her. Haosin sighed.

She could not sense the thought itself, but the feeling made itself known.
"I heard something about that..."

She shook her head. "I only heard in passing."
She hadn't even been involved in the conversation, but her pointed ears weren't just for show.

"Ah." Drennis nodded, still somewhat worried.
"I heard something else about her. She had... a romantic encounter?"

Emma grinned broadly. "She did."
Though she tried her hardest, the thought came to the forefront of her mind anyway.

"I'm not sure I've ever heard of such a person." He shook his head, still trying to recall as he did. "No, never."
"Is he important?"

Emma gave a one-shouldered shrug. "In some minds, yes, In others, no. He is a man of some influence, though."

"Is he a king or something?" Haosin laughed. How influential could he be? He didn't see Kaok as the charmer, an excellent strategist of course... but not that.

"Bartender all teh drinks for tonight are on me...."
Ragdoll grinned as he told the bartender to put something in the drinks.
"make sure to shake it not stir it..."

"A-an emperor?" Haosin blinked madly. "Good on her. I never would have thought-. She doesn't seem-. Just wow."
He checked the clock briefly and whistled. "Sorry, Lady Emma, but it does appear as though I have to leave." Captain Drennis stood and bowed politely before exiting the building.

Emma sighed as he exited, summoning her notes back to her and beginning to read.
She was hoping for something to happen.
