Everything all right?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[shortly] The Council is being irritating.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Anything in particular or just more of the usual?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I aided them in something, for which they were supposed to pardon my "crimes", among other things. [flatly] They didn't.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

What's happening now?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

We're...negotiating. [with so much bitter distaste in the word]

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Negotiating?

[makes a face]

That...well with that lot. I'm so sorry. How is it going?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[snort] Quite. [wry smile] I'm not dead yet?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

They're idiots. I'm sure you'll manage to get your way out of this. Probably around the time they're distracted with some technicality or another.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] Yes. I just hope I end up getting something worthwhile out of the whole affair. ...Well, aside from saving Koschei. Again.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

If it involves the Council, you most likely won't. The only worthwhile bit will be the part where you finally get out of there. ....aside from the obvious other exception, of course.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[actual smile] Well, when have we ever let our decisions be limited on what is likely?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[looks thoughtful and grins] Most likely never.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

That's what Koschei is for.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[grins] Oh, so that's what he's meant to be doing. I sort of wondered.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[grins back] Well, theoretically. I need to listen for him, for it to work...

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

That's always the tricky part, isn't it?
