Lucca's eyes light up with a furious fire. Maybe you hit a raw nerve or maybe it's just denial, but whatever the cause of her reaction, it's definitely not in your favor. "I've given my entire existence to Corliss!" she growls. "Unlike you, I wouldn't just throw that away at the first opportunity that bare-knuckle boxes its way into my un-life."
She reaches into a small manila folder she'd set aside and removes several printed photographs. Most of them are of your encounter with Hauberk on a public street, but others show you conversing with Ward in person. She watches for your reaction.
"At least you're being honest about these being photos of you," Lucca says. "I was sure I'd get some kind of denial, but we're on the right track."
A sharp knock comes from the door leading back out into the hallway and Lucca jumps, startled out of the conversation. "Who is it?" she asks. "I'm in the middle of an interview!"
"It's Gregory, ma'am. Your sire requires a decision." That's Corliss's favored ghoul. Does everyone know about this detention? You writhe within the cell uncomfortably.
"But…" Lucca stutters. "I've barely gotten started!"
"I'm afraid she was quite explicit. The Council will begin soon and the security team must be arranged."
"Of course." Lucca stands up and reluctantly walks over to the door. "I'll just be a moment," she says to you. "Sit tight."
You sigh. Like there's anything else you can do.
