CAA  RIGHT NOW opened memo on board HUEHUEHUE.

CAA: MERROW IS WALKING ACENIA DOWN THE HALLWAY ON THEIR WAY BACK FROM THE NEW ARRIVALS AREA, CHATTING WITH HER ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.

CAA: (( Eek. ))

CURRENT galliardTartarol0gist [CGT]  RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

CGT: ((every time))

CAA: (( I know ))

CGT: Lily rounds a corner, heading towards Merrow's respiteblock, when she sees the pair. She waves cheerfully. "Acenia, hey!" She then looks coldly at Merrow. "Your Highness." She spits it out like it's a curse word.

He's in too good a mood to let her spoil it. "MAVICO," he says, with no affection but no particular hatred either.
