- I saw Estelle enter the throne room, along with the goat farmer, Minister Arton, and a sylvari. That wretch turned out to be Scarlet, she did.
- Nice talking to you.
- Oh, I have. My wife—she's a minister—and I were just out there last week for a small garden party. An intimate affair, it was only us, Estelle, Arton, and Lord Caudecus. Lovely evening.
- What did you discuss?
- The usual political gossip. Casual, you know. Estelle had a moment of private discussion with Lord Caudecus, though he did most of the talking, and she did quite a lot of nodding.
- Bandits
- That's nice.
- Bandit Cannon
- I'm going to get more punch. It's so fruity!
- Wait. I wanted to ask you something.
- The queen throws a good party.
- Just passing by. You should also try the shrimp.
- Only if you make it quick! I'm so excited!
- I'd think that spreading rumors about the queen would prove very exciting.
- Two-faced liar... I doubt you truly appreciate the hospitality.
- Good enough for me. Let's go.
- I'll take your word for it.
- Is that why Minister Estelle wants to retire? A lack of excitement?
- Oh, this isn't the queen's work. This is all Countess Anise. She is amazing. She can charm cream straight out of a cow. She's a mesmer, after all.
- Excellent point.
- Undoubtedly. She likes to be in the thick of things, but Caudecus has had her doing clerical work lately. She meets with him regularly, from what I've heard. He'll talk her out of retiring, I'm sure.
- Undoubtedly. Enjoy the party.
- If I may, I suggest you reconsider saying such things at a party.
- My goodness! That's rather rude. I've suddenly lost my taste for food or drink.
- So, what's the problem?
- I believe I should mingle. Enjoy the party.
- I hate parties. Sadly, public appearances are part of a minister's job.
- I bet you'd rather be at home plotting against the queen!
- They have their merits—the food, for example.
- Just smile and nod. Works wonders.
- (cough) What's this nonsense you're spewing? Oh, you've made me spill wine on my shirt. It's a Zommoros original! I'll have you arrested for this.
- Never mind. You're more worried about your clothes than your reputation.
- What? No! It looks so much better this way.
- Guar— Gaurds... Gaww... (sob) Go away!
- Where did they go?
- All right. Good-bye.
- No, it doesn't! It looks like a big, ugly wine stain! (sob) Oh no, now my mascara's dripping onto it, too. Guards!
- And the punch. Have you tried it? Hmm, you're the first decent person I've met here. Say, if you're not busy later...
- Nope! I'm, uh, busy mingling. With others. All night. 'Bye.
- Do you think Faren would date a minister? Just saying it sounds scandalous, but I love a good scandal. How romantic it would be!
- Aha! You're the one spreading lies about Queen Jennah!
- You're a fan of Faren, huh?
- Separatists
- I don't understand you people.
- How dare you accuse me of such a distasteful crime! Can you even back up your accusation, or are you just blowing hot air in the Ministry's face?
- Oops, I must be mistaken. Just trying to help the queen out, y'know?
- But you like scandals!
- I, um...good-bye.
- Well...I suppose you were just doing your part. But think before you blab next time!
- Will do.
