1227.2t Line of Dimication

((hate phantom posts :angry: ))
((Posting a few comments at once here - let's imagine the conversation flows smoothly over a few minutes among the topics....))

"A dispute, you say?" Tranquillina inquires. "I imagine I could learn something of Hermetic law, if you cared to go into the tale."

It is a measure of Tranquillina's stress and fatigue these days that she feels a little impatient with Celeres's tangent - normally there would be no end to the amount of Hermetic-theory talk she would enjoy. "Of course an accident is the only plausible conclusion," she says with measured words. "I simply feel that as one of the Tribunal hosts, I should be armed with the best information, to forestall any wild theories to the contrary. I shall contact Bilera to see what she has to say; I am sure she will be forthcoming." ((Tranquillina's hiding her suspicions here, so let's make a guile roll: Com 3 + Guile (faking confidence) 4 + stress die 6 = 13.))

"By the way," she adds before departing, "we at Mons Electi are very proud of our new role as long-term hosts of the Normandy Tribunals. I thank you for putting the matter to the public. As it happens, have you heard from any who were displeased with the decision? I would hope the impression we have made this week was suitably positive."

After Celeres's responses, but before seeking out the Guernicus Prima, Tranquillina will run around looking for fellow Mons Electors, asking if they have any advice for her conversation with Bilera.
