- I want whoever put those pies out this early thrown off the city walls immediately!
- How long have we been out of the stuffed artichokes?
- Who is that brute who's been looming over the countess all evening? I need to ask her preference on dessert wine, but...
- How is everything? Oh, I do hope you're enjoying our offerings.
- That is sad. But, you have survived.
- Tell me, have you tried our piccata? It's as if Melandru herself kissed it with just a hint of dill. (smack)
- I'm very sorry to hear our clams weren't up to your high standards. We imported them direct this morning.
- I assure you that the chef responsible for this will be dealt with at once.
- Oh gods. How did that cat get in here? It's helped itself to the truffle steak.
- Someone get rid of that filthy cat before the guests see it, or—or the countess herself.
- Hors d'oeuvre?
- Leave it be.
- Here, I can get you some more.
- May I take your glass, if you're finished?
- How is everything?
- The blazing heat emanating from this spot is even harsher in contrast to the cool cave atmosphere. It moves upwards in waves, like the exhalation of something timeless deep beneath the ground.
- So good to see you, Minister.
- (giggle) Is that cat wearing spectacles?
- Isn't that the cat from the Eastern Commons? The fancy one, Jaunty Snuffles or something?
- Aw, who put that hat on him? Adorable.
- I'll deal with it.
- Care for an hors d'oeuvre?
- May I fill your glass for you?
- I can take that. Thank you.
- Caterer
- Caterer
- Head Caterer
- You must visit more often. The party wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without you. The queen sends her gratitude as well. She can now attend your summit. I'll be there as well, though...incognito.
- That's wonderful news. I appreciate your support, Countess.
- If you have no objections, I believe I will keep dear Kasmeer with me for a while. We have much to talk about, don't we, pet?
- One last question. If you knew Estelle was guilty, why not just out her?
- Put simply, I'm too close to the queen for my claims to be believable without support. I'd lose much if our dear Jennah were incarcerated, and the ministers know it. That's where you came in.
- I understand. Well, I won't keep you any longer. Good-bye for now.
- Where's that idiot sommelier? Someone check behind the casks.
- I'll see to it, sir.
- It's under control. Don't worry.
- I can't believe Anise invited her.
- Have you seen Lord Faren? Dashing, as always!
- I imagine Countess Anise had a lie to cover up her presence at the bridge. It's her word against mine.
- Actually, Minister, it's several people's words against yours.
- What are you talking about? Has someone said they'd testify against me?
- We have witnesses who will support Countess Anise's story.
- Traitors to the Ministry. Traitors! They'll find themselves in the streets soon.
- I doubt it. The queen has positions for those who are honest and honorable.
- There are those of us who see through the Ministry's lies. And our numbers are growing.
- Jory would approve, eh, Kas? Good-bye, Minister.
- Ooh, that's disorienting. My goodness.
- What just happened?
- It felt like a mesmer spell. I think Anise created a diversion for us. Let's get back into the party.
- Let's go.
