Couch.

"I may have ah... started some fires..."
Brief Emma quietly on the proceedings.

+1, but DO NOT MENTION anything about curbing the Families.

Yeeahhh, worthy addendum. +1

For that matter, maybe gloss over the bit with Alphira too? Was rather a personal moment for all concerned, and I'm... not really sure yet how we want to break that news to Emma's Alphira.

That's a good point.  +1

"Oh? Is that all." Emma listens quietly, intently, wrapping her arms around you in a tight hug. "A very quick way to determine negotiations. Fitting...and demanding social reforms, why aren't you a saint." You begin to dry yourself off, leaving a puddle of pure water on the for of the foyer. A robed citadel guard tuts, leaving to fetch cleaning supplies.

[4] "You're excluding the Thorntons from that debt-slavery one, right? We use a lot of them on our farms, especially for the orphans of our soldiers. The farms would all go out of business without them."

[ZBridges]

"I think we can work something out.  These sorts of systems are difficult to change quickly, and I understand that reform takes time."

[Superdorf]

Ah-hm, this could be a problem. Are we OK with singling out the Thorntons for otherwise illegal practice this way?

[ZBridges]

No, they must submit when the war is over.

[19_EgarAlnis]

Are you attempting to lie?

[ZBridges]

Hmm.  I guess I shouldn't lie.  Let me change my suggestion.

Edit: change made.

[Superdorf]

Are you attempting to lie?

Yeah, gonna say no.

"Probably, yeah-- at least for awhile. Anything that changes would be changing slow, so that people can adjust... find alternatives. We'll have time to spare after the war's ending, yes?"

"The Thorntons will have all they need, and much they want. That much, I know." Smile reassuring-like.

[13] "I trust you, Pheobe to do what's right for those who've helped you out. I never would have guessed you've had such a sense of justice though. Before you go abolishing a bunch of institutions, you might want to read why they were instituted and how they work..." Emma gives you a smile, squeezing you in that hug, then yawns, stretching out, looking out to the plaza as cold wind blows, as night falls. "Are you giving the signal to Iyal today? And how long are we waiting for her to work?"

Edit: sorry, I need to think about it for a bit.  I'll sleep on it.

[ZBridges]

Ask Iyal about her current status and recommendations.  We might as well ask her, as she seems to be pretty experienced.  Eerily so, actually.

[19_EgarAlnis]

In person, or over Emma's radio?

[Superdorf]

Hm, do we know where Iyal is right now-- or failing that, where she'll be in near future? I'm leaning towards an in-person meeting, but if she's out brokering skullduggerous deals with fellow Outlanders or whatever I'd rather not interrupt...
