"She's Gone"

[Leo Fenrir]

Throne room, Echo Manor

"What!?"

"She's gone my lord Baron."

"By the soft woolen fleece of the Great Sheep this is a disaster!"

"I may not go so far as to say that Lord Dine..."

"Near. Do you seriously think that leaving the Khan in a position of so much power can amount to anything short of mass murder?"

"You are being to harsh my Lord. I understand you are still upset about him refusing your calls, but that hardly makes the man evil."

"The man is the bloody embodiment of evil Near!"

"Careful what you say Leo..."

"May I remind you that it is your job to ensure that my 'eyes and ears' are a step ahead of his? Why pray tell should I watch my words in my own house."

"My apologies Leo. It is merely habit that makes me say such things. But what of the matter at hand?"

"Well I can hardly just leave him be can I? Have Cora summoned to the Manor. She and I will be departing for Shirekeep within the hour."

"As you wish Lord Dine."
