Probably nothing to worry about, though.

Anyway, how's your day?]

[ Legit, sometimes blackmail is how to get what you want ]

Hm. Perhaps I should claim a cut for giving you the idea.

[stirtheblood]

Heh! Now that's takin' advantage where ya can. I can prob'ly bring ya some.

[hotnbothered]

And when you do, I want the full account of what happened.

[stirtheblood]

Fuller than ya got already?

[via his clearly very thorough and detailed explanation]

[hotnbothered]

Obviously!

[stirtheblood]

Ehhhh...

I guess if we're drinkin' I can answer whatever questions ya got.

[hotnbothered]

You should answer questions from your boss regardless.

[ POINTEDLY. ]

[stirtheblood]

Ha! Well, I ain't ever been good at followin' orders.

How's that goin' for ya otherwise?

[hotnbothered]

A bit too early to say when it's only been two days.

[ And when the only person going along with it so far clearly doesn't take it seriously at all, but you know. ]

[stirtheblood]

[hey it's a start]

Anythin' else ya wanna do with it?

[hotnbothered]

Well, let's see... [ Mumbling a bit, and pausing in-between like she's thinking about it as she goes. ] More immediately, establishing a consistent food supply and furnishing the shed wouldn't be bad... In the long term, working toward breaking that wolf's influence over us...

[stirtheblood]

Bet ya could get a buncha people onboard with that stuff.

[hotnbothered]

[ Seems a little bit bolstered by that response. ]

Well, I suspect mutual interest is about the only way to wrangle a group of self-serving wildcards.

[stirtheblood]

Prob'ly. You ain't gettin' anyone helpin' out outta a sense of community or whatever.

[hotnbothered]

I'll even include myself in that.

[stirtheblood]

And bein' the boss's a buncha extra work. Won't see me doin' that.

[hotnbothered]

[ Briefly pulls a face, but then she hmphs and tosses her hair, all bravado. ]

Well, not all of us can have what it takes to stand on top.

[stirtheblood]

But you think you got it, huh?

[hotnbothered]

What, you want to dispute it?

[stirtheblood]

I'll just have to watch and see for myself.

[hotnbothered]

[ She frowns a little, interpreting that remark as a slight. ]

... I was in leadership position back home, you realize.

[ Look, she's not saying anything about whether she was an EFFECTIVE leader. ]

[stirtheblood]

Really? Thought ya just wanted to get to the top consort spot and have an easy life gettin' pampered by the emperor, or whatever.

[even if he was an advocate for plan "murder everyone and be emperor yourself"]

[hotnbothered]

Yes, but it's not as though consorts don't have responsibilities.

[stirtheblood]

Like what?

[hotnbothered]

Well... Leading their respective palace within the court, organizing events, sometimes distributing aid...
