[The Drought in Budehuc was so severe that the projected harvest will be smaller then previous years, to a point where it may not last the whole winter. Thomas has been locked away in his office for the last several days as he balances the books. Finally, he opened the door for you]

Please come in, If it's a...a...about the harvest - I'm sorry, I am still finding the best solution possible for the people

[Oh look, Lord Thomas is playing with some dogs... and now several of them are following him around like baby ducklings]

Ah... I don't have anything else, I'm sorry.

[he starts kneeling to pet them]

If I could take you guys home, I would...

3)

Excuse me!

[The young lord from the podunk country burst out, interrupting a heated debate between two bigger factions over how to deal with some threat]

I'm so-so-sorry, but I cannot just continue to listen without speaking up. But... this argument is petty! As we fight... the enemy is gathering it's strength. I... I know we all do not always get along, but we must work together or fall.

[agree, disagree, tell him to stfu?]

[Where is Thomas? You were sent to find him when he didn't come out of the Library, and you discover him clinging for dear life on top of a ladder. Now what?]

Tch, you really think I'd let an ally starve? If I'd known how bad it was down here, I'd have sent food aid weeks ago!

[Levin crosses his arms with a sardonic grin.]

Maybe you rulers aren't so bad after all.

[Caesar had to come looking for him eventually! Though he takes one look at the little lord clinging to the ladder like that and surely offers to help him out turns to leave again with:]

Oh, I see you're busy. I'll come back later.

[ Olivier pauses. She had expected that the diminutive lord would have simply remained on the sidelines, with how intimidated he looked. ]

The enemy is always gathering its strength. That's why we need to know where everyone in the empire stands.

[ Part of her wants to just agree with Thomas, but realistically, cooperation often requires a bit of coercion. ]
