What a delightfully bold thing to say," the Archon says. "You have convictions, Agad the Imperishable, I'll give you that. I do, however, hope that Mr. Salik is not as bold as you hope he is, assuming he has survived the past few nights." She stops to think for a moment. "I think it's high time I look into the background of Mr. Haidt. He's getting altogether too comfortable whispering in Eden's ear for his own good."
Is there anything else you wish to tell the Archon?
That's a…vague assertion," the Archon says. "Are you suggesting that she wasn't actually crucified?"
"No," you shake your head. "I saw it with my own eyes. I was there with Qui when he discovered her hanging there."
"So you believe she's taking advantage of the attack, then? I couldn't say I blame her. Had I been beaten into torpor and hung from my own wall I'd want to lay low for a while, too."
There's barely a tic from the Archon, but you can tell she's surprised. She didn't know that particular bit of information.
"Why would she say your sire's name?"
"I don't know," you say. "But it sounded like for a moment she believed she was Corliss. Either that or Corliss was the last person to see her before her faculties were impaired."
"Interesting. I'll set up an inquiry. This is good, Agad the Imperishable."
