The day after Win My Vote
Treyjen
It had been worrying at his thoughts since he had gotten up for the day, and Treyjen had found himself unable to snatch back much more rest after his sister’s confrontation. It left him in a sour mood and he had simply downed enough ale to take the edge off his hangover because it was clearly the only relief he would be getting. He knew also he would be in no mood to find himself any further amusement that night if he didn’t ensure that Nalyra really hadn’t ruined anything. She hadn’t seemed so certain herself and he was not willing to leave it to chance. If there was anything he could do to help remedy… whatever she had done, he would see to it. The vote was too close and there was too much at risk to just let it be.
Why couldn’t she have just left Asirikai well enough alone? Why couldn’t she understand the need to cultivate a good relationship with him? There were so many other men for her to play with, couldn’t she just leave this one alone? Well, apparently not. He had debated just how he wanted to go about cleaning up whatever mess she might have made, but there wasn’t much to plan for until he knew just what she had done. This was just going to be an unpleasant day no matter what he did, wasn’t it? He was hardly looking forward to finding out, both what she had done and what he might have to do to fix it.
He would have liked to talk to his sister more about it first but for one, he had no idea where she was, and two, he was sure she would skirt around what happened again by hinting at details he’d rather not know. She really had made a mess for him to muddle through. He grumbled to himself as he made his way to Asirikai’s quarters, hoping he would find him there. It was later in the day, but not late enough as to be considered impolite to visit. He didn’t need to do anything to make matters worse with slight improprieties, that was for sure. Why did she have to put him in this position where he had to walk on eggshells with the man? Shells it was annoying. He paused at the door, running his hand through his hair and drawing in a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he knocked and announced himself, bracing himself for a conversation that he was certain was not about to be pleasant. “Captain Treyjen, my lord,” stupid titles, but he may as well start getting used to using it, and all his other best manners to boot, “If you’ve a moment to spare on me?”
