Talking shop and murder

[arlathvhen]

WHO: Beleth, Val, and Kostos
WHAT: Beleth asks her advisors for advice regarding an assassin who assassinated the wrong person
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Scoutmaster office
NOTES: Discussing this letter. tw for...assassination and murder and stuff.

Has Beleth actually ever had both her advisors in the same room before? She'd probably remember that. They were, after all, called on for different areas that rarely intersected. But here was finally an intersecting issue, one that Beleth felt rather lost regarding. So she calls them both to her office, and positions herself in front of her desk, leaning against it.

No need to put on airs around these two.

"So, the question therein is whether it would be better to assure Antiva that this was a rogue agent that we took care of, or if we should reveal that we were infiltrated. And what we should do if they ask us for recompense for this." She looks over some of the papers she's gathered on the subject, from Val to Kostos.

"We're already on thin ice with Nevarra. I'd really rather not have to add Antiva to that list. And I really don't want to explain to Madame de Cedoux that we're on the outs with Antiva because one of my agents felt impatient to get her task done." Her lips thin, displeased by the entire mess. Still, she's not looking forward to the idea of going about and letting Vintner get executed over the affair. Even if she had deserved it, what if the others found out? Would they be worried that Beleth might kill them over mistakes?

"All elves look the same," Kostos says, chin tipped up in challenge.

He isn't smiling, but there's a tiny amount of good humor there. It's a joke.
