[Oh. Hmm. That's — Reno affecting a Sharlayan accent is...unexpectedly...hoo boy. Now that's a thought to save for a rainy day, or at least the shower.]

I've mentioned a bit about Sharlayan, and the man who brought me to be educated there, its founding families and all that. The boy in question is that man's grandson. His father, Louisoix's son, is a member of Sharlayan's ruling body, the Forum — one hundred serving representatives who cast votes to decide the nation's policies.

[He pauses a minute, thinking over how to go about this.]

I recall I've also mentioned that Sharlayan is staunchly isolationist, and exercises a policy of strict nonintervention. Louisoix never agreed with that; his son, however, espouses it. I reckon you can guess where this all might be going, mm?
