First District
Aiden:
Yamada
If the First Chief was at all put off or surprised by the uncanny wretchedness of Francesca Prelati's form. He took another sip of his tea, and then shook his head. "Do inform me when you are finished with your overwhelming sense of amusement, Miss Prelati."
This was some good tea, despite the circumstances under which it was being consumed. That is what his face conveyed in its unflappability.
Umbra of Chaos:
Francesca
She calmed down soon enough, but there was a small frown on her face now. "I know you like playing the polite old man, Yamy, but you and I both know that you're not some peaceable old geezer who just does the right thing. You built this place on top of mountains of corpses. Why did you let them build that place?"
Aiden:
Yamada
Yamada placed his teacup down, and leveled a stare at her bereft of his previous paternal demeanor. His mouth was a thin line. "Because it was useful to me at the time, and it means all of the malcontent sorcerers congregate to one convenient location so they can be monitored." The line turned upward, slightly. "It is most convenient that it inconveniences your ambitions as well, is it not?"
Umbra of Chaos:
Francesca
She let out a bit of a huff. "You think you're so clever, don't you? All you can do is build the same shape, Yamy. Unstable buildings with made with crumbling bits of candy waiting for the right thing to come over and eat it. It's just a matter of time before the thing starts coming apart. The only place that resembles what you envisioned is your little island here, but everything around you is crumbling." Francesca stood up then, the world around them fading into a blank white besides the table, chairs and tea.
"I don't suppose you have plans, Yamada, because this isn't something that either of us want."
Aiden:
Yamada
"Of course I have a plan. I just have yet to think of it." He seemed entirely unfazed by the sudden transition. Then he motioned to the void around them with an open palm. "My question is thus: What do you plan, Miss Prelati? What is it you hope to obtain from me? Surely not a devil's bargain."
