[ physically, with boats. many boats. more boats. ]
Brought up the idea we just do what we do and hunt the Venatori ship, if they can lend us a few mages. She's concerned about the image it sets, but open to it.
Beyond that, I believe she just wants to discuss assignments and naval projects.
Nevermind that for now. They can talk their way around that given the opportunity. Get face to face with the woman and he's certain they can be convincing.]
Easily done. [On every count; they know how to hunt.] I don't suppose she'll be back before the delegation to Minrathous is.
[So they can get their fucking foot jammed in the door before the situation shifts entirely under them. Maker only knows what the Inquisition will bring back with them from that forsaken place.]
[ he's confident enough in Flint's ability to talk someone into what he wants to be done. And if not Flint, definitely Max, however, the Minrathous trip brings up an issue there. ]
She will. Though we'll be missing Max until the Minrathous delegation returns.
[ he supposes they could go without her, but it limits them a bit. ]
[He's dismissive, curt even. Max is hardly the only card they have up their sleeve. Or rather-- who fucking knows what the Inquisition might come back from Minrathous believing. They know the terms as they are now, not as they might be tomorrow. Better to press that advantage if they're able. Best to take hold of whatever promises they can before the world shifts under their feet.]
I'm sure we can manage without her improving influence.
[ said with a quirked brow, and he's not joking and he's not apologizing for it either. flint could barely handle vane being in a position of influence above him, how will he handle reporting to a commander? they have to tread carefully in this place, so let's hope Silver at least handles the more delicate affairs. ]
[ yeah, he's just filled with confidence here. but, whatever, not like he could do any better. but that's why he's staying his happy ass on the ship. ]
Uh huh. [ the doubt is real. but also, not really his problem. max will fix whatever flint breaks when she gets back. probably. ] Take Silver with if anyone important wants to talk to you.

--One he won't be able to maintain very well if Bonaventura really is of a similar breed.]
Then I suppose we'll have to be friendly. [As if they haven't been that already.] Did she say anything else?

I appreciate your concern, but I'm sure I'll do just fine.

Anything else?

Not at all, Captain.
