>SELECTED “I seem to have a disturbing ability to draw the attention of attractive women who are themselves prone to consider my body either lain or lifeless in the same evening, as their fancy strikes. So you think -you- have women troubles… Bah.” The laughter serves as a good excuse to turn the conversation to the nature of Exalted, and what both he and his peer Kyria Eustace have been doing on their respective fronts. [Hearty] Judging from the write-ins and comments with votes, I’ll treat this as a more relaxed conversation rather than pressing for information to the point where an intrigue roll might be required.
<span class="mu-i">“I seem to have a disturbing ability to draw the attention of attractive women who are themselves prone to consider my body either lain or lifeless in the same evening, as their fancy strikes.”</span> Despite your dry humour, you draw comfort from Vancewell’s favour still pressed upon your body. Why couldn’t you fall for a more sensible choice of fair maiden? <span class="mu-i">“So you think -you- have women troubles… Bah.”</span>
Militades throws his head back at your response, the echoes of his laughter reverberating across the ceiling of the gargantuan hallway. <span class="mu-i">“Well if the honoured exoria’s preferences tend towards dangerous woman, I think you have come to the right place…”</span>
Your conversation during the rest of the walk continues in the same spirit of good cheer, with some discussion on the nature of the Exalted and his role in the palace. Much of the duties surrounding the armed forces of the Palace are shared between the Dragon Guard and Stratiokas. The Stratiokas Caste have honourably refrained from engaging in the quarrelling of the Medusae and Merchanta, at least according to Kyrios Militades. While the Dragon Guard remain the favoured tool of the Medusae, the Stratiokas resurgence in political acumen has seen them interpose themselves in areas of Palace security that had until recently been the sole remit of the foreign cohorts. It has been an increasingly touchy point of contention between the two groups.
