What I wanted to say: “Do I look like a fucking lost and found? Your son lost it all looking for such.”
What I did say: “I will ask [the lords of that area]. But I have no power there, and am restrained by their will. I can only bring to you what they allow.”
What I’m sure he wanted to say: “My son died because of you so you owe me only your everything and this is only the start of repayment.”
What he said: “Already you have done more than all my power can accomplish. What news you bring me, good or bad, is welcome. I am grateful for your assistance.”
Politics. I fucking hate political games. Though I am curious what debts were burned into place to get [that particular entity] involved.
(Also: That was a very aggressive summons. Fuck. Yanked out my head with no warning.)
