Idle conversation

Anouk occasionally taunts  Manser Biggs:

• Fist of Bane Anouk

  Your hand shakes, Gondian. Tell me, what was your friend's name?

  • Gondian Manser Biggs

    My husband's name was Lanpos, ma'am.

    • Fist of Bane Anouk

      Lanpos deserved to die - tell me why.

      • Gondian Manser Biggs

        My husband was eavesdropping, ma'am. He - he needed to be beaten.

        • Fist of Bane Anouk

          Very good, little Gondian.
