[ 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.

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

Anything else?
[Worth talking about. Not about his character.]

[It would be much more satisfying to hang up on someone if sending crystals clicked.]
