It truly is. I suppose it helps avoid war some.

[enchauntour]

Killing each other is enough to satisfy them.

[regal_magus]

That's very sad. Life is so precious. Especially for mortals.

[enchauntour]

It's the Game. Murder doesn't actually happen that often.

[regal_magus]

I'm surprised that isn't a move. Many other political things are quite simply resolved that way.

[enchauntour]

Oh, it is, but tactically done. Does it provide an advantage to you, will you be caught? With the right amount of suspicion on you, of course.

[regal_magus]

The right amount of suspicion? How much is that? Do you have math for that?

[enchauntour]

It can improve a reputation to be suspected of a thing but only if there isn't really any evidence to confirm it is you.

[regal_magus]

Seems like it might also get you in trouble and killed for things you didn't do.

[enchauntour]

For a mage, even suspicion would. For anyone else it's a different story.

[regal_magus]

How do you walk those fine lines?

[enchauntour]

With care. You quickly learn how to play the Game. I'm a mage and I'm not Orlesian. I had to survive.

[regal_magus]

I don't know, you seem Orlesian through and through.

[enchauntour]

Well, when you want someone to believe it you work at it.

[regal_magus]

I suppose that's fair. Though it breaks my heart to see it necessary for you.

[enchauntour]

Darling, I was made for Orlesian life. I wouldn't be anywhere else.

( a lie she's told herself over time. she does enjoy it but if the world were different what else could she be? powerful without the political maneuvering? )

[regal_magus]

No, my sweetling, you adapted like the wonderful, skilled woman you are. And I am glad for it.

[enchauntour]

It gives you somewhere interesting to visit.

[regal_magus]

I suppose it does that. Though I'd rather take you to the tropics where there are drinks with little umbrellas.

[enchauntour]

One day I may take that offer.

[regal_magus]

I shall delight in showing you the tropics and proper pampering then!

[enchauntour]

I assume these drinks with umbrellas aren't wine?

[regal_magus]

Oh no. YOu mix nice hard liquors and wonderful sweet juices. Oh my dear, have you ever had a Pina Colada?

[enchauntour]

They sound like something that would be fashionable for a summer.

[regal_magus]

Oh it is. You make it with pineapple juice and cream and a few other thigns. So tasty.
