Amanda
"Now don't twist my words like that Congresswoman Drosa, you know what I meant. Anything within reason regarding your latest plans I will bankroll myself, but don't presume I'm running a charity here. If I don't see any tangible results this boon will go up in smoke and I'll be very disappointed." She was quite excited at the prospect of Serra disappointing her, inffact she could hardly wait for the fallout of such an event.
As amusing as that might be it was hardly the most favorable outcome even if it would serve as great outlet. "But you're far too competent to disappoint me aren't you Lady Drossa?" Amanda was smiling brightly at her, with her charm going full throttle she'd appear as nothing less than a vision of beauty.
Aiden:
Serra Drosa
"I'm almost inclined to tell you no out of spite, with that attitude." And yet, she smiled wider as she took in the sight of such magnificent beauty full force, up close, as though she was a sexless stone wall. Or an ivory curtain, with the amount of teeth that came with her upward curling of the lips. "Very well... now then. Were you looking for all of Pine Garden to benefit from this opening at once?"
Eruraviel finally began to pick up on it now, the faint sense of something ashen and inky black feeling at the periphery of her being in search of something that simply was not there. It lasted but a moment and then withdrew, as if dissatisfied. Maybe baffled.

Eruraviel
As the sith lord probed at Eruraviel's mind, she found a smooth, flawless sphere, impenetrable in a manner surpassing even that of Columbia—it was quite peculiar, as if there were no way for her to penetrate her mental defenses at all. The elf cocked her head with a silken, innocent smile. However, her eyes gave off a different impression entirely. For but a moment, they flashed red, and Serra could feel herself being poked and pried at. But only for the briefest of moments. Then, it stopped, as if it had merely been a warning.
Still, even that was enough to reveal a few key details to the elven princess. It was as she'd suspected, and this was no mere politician—there was far more hidden carefully beneath the surface.
She continued to smile quietly at not only Serra, but also also the other who was hiding beneath the surface. Her ears shuddered in anticipation, and she felt her loins tightening in the presence of power.
Bern:
Amanda
"Naturally, it's for the good of Pine Garden, my generosity will be greatly appreciated by my compatriots I'd hope. However..." She tapped her finger on the desk again only this time the very air itself vibrated and struck both the Elf and the Congresswoman like a gust of wind.
Of course the multi layered barrier she had put up earlier would ensure that no sign of this sudden miniature vortex would escape the table. And I fact besides knocking the two other women back into their chairs, it did nothing to the table itself nor to the papers Serra had placed on it.
"Will you two not have a mental squabble in my presence. It's unbecoming of any self respecting shady dealer." She sounded calm but stern, like this was something she was used to mediating.
Aiden:
Serra Drosa
The congresswoman became very still as whatever power Amanda had imposed on the table pressed down at her, but it otherwise had no effect as she had never left her chair in the first place. Then, she pushed on by returning her gaze back to the one attempting to negotiate with her. "I will consider drafting such a proposal, then. I'm sure my colleagues will see the wisdom in finding additional sources of funding for our future endeavors."
Still visibly infuriated despite the calm and measured tone of her voice and the soft smile on her face, Serra continued. "Now, were you hoping to stick around for tea? It's quite good in the winter."
