[Not that Ozymandias felt this world necessarily ever made solid good first impressions on anyone (there's only one person that comes to mind as far as that's concerned), but there were certainly better times for one to arrive that might have better impressions than that one.]

And now you find yourself in the middle of this diplomatic mess. [Because that's what it is. A mess.] Quite bold of you to come to this city after such a short stay in this world.

[Some people were really good at charming other peoples pants off. Eh, so long as he wasn't going for her throat, it was fine. They could still work together.]

Mmhmm. I did consider staying behind and all-especially since there are risks in being here.

[And for two days she had to keep using a certain spell, over and over, so she wouldn't suddenly age and crumble into dust. She's still nervous about it, though it's far more low key. Not that many people know about this-only Nessie, herself, and her room mate Asura.

She wouldn't let such an obvious weakness being known.]

However...if I stayed behind, then I'd be ignorant and unable to influence how anything goes down, even by the smallest amount.

[Ozymandias wouldn't find fault in her if she had wanted to remain behind and in ignorance. As he said, it was quite a bold decision to come here. The allure of ignorance is a powerful one for others.]

Assuming that we are permitted any direct influence whatsoever.

[Inviting them to come along as dignitaries did not necessarily imbue them with power. The actions of those who are unable to remain still and patient, however... Well, that will have power whether or not Nessie sanctions it.]

[Bold or bad? Or both? She was pretty sure it was both. She wouldn't blame any monster for staying behind-she still remembered the look on their faces-in the sewers, above on the streets-when they realized they couldn't control themselves.]

As we are, we can only control ourselves and our own reactions. And that in itself may cause some influence, or at least cause some thought, one way or another.

Even if that is a little over optimistic.

I'm sure there will be repercussions upon our return to Aefenglom regardless.

[Even if they end up being ultimately ineffectual here in Dorchacht, he cannot imagine that Aefenglom will abstain from forming any further opinions about the mirrorbound.]

[weirdnecro]

Oh yes. It's just a question of how much will be for show, and how much is actually...discipline.

I think I'm going to get another drink. Would you like one?
