Good luck finding a suitable assistant, Agent Lang!

I myself must wait for the government to appoint one. It must be nice to be able to hire directly from the populace! I'm sure you'll get many excellent applicants.

I like being able to choose my assistant, yeah. Do you at least nominate candidates for yourself?

[dearestdiplomat]

You'll be working so closely together, and in such dangerous situations, I can understand why you'd need to hand-select an assistant.

As for me, I do have some influence, and I can veto a decision.

Considering the current political situation, I think the government is going to select someone from the province formerly known as the Kingdom of Allebahst. Things are still settling down back home.

I do like to be personally involved in local hiring, but my staff prefers that I delegate, and I try not to give them too much trouble!

Being politic is a pressure I don't think I could handle.

Don't I still owe you a beer?

[dearestdiplomat]

Ah yes, being politic can be a challenge at times.

And you certainly do, Agent Lang. Hopefully, I'll have time to meet with you very soon. Being politic seems to be time consuming as well, especially lately!
