Well, Anatole. It's been a while, hasn't it? You're certainly remaining robust, somehow, even with your inhabitants dropping like flies. Why, you're even celebrating.
How charming.
[That voice, if you don't yet recognize it, is smooth but not quite pleasant - there's some venom mixed into the honey. More so than usual.]
How long has this city run, I wonder, hauling us in like fish and then gutting us, to leave us to rot? We aren't really needed here, are we? It isn't as though the natural citizens couldn't get along without us, after all. They do know how all of this works.
I am rather curious, though... do you think we could get along without them?
[There's a muffled, fabricy sound, and her voice is muffled a little too, like she isn't speaking directly into the Forge for a moment.]
...well, it's just idle spectualtion, anyway. I think I may attend the end of the tournament. It'll be nice to have something to do.
