Infinite Consortium, Monday

[deathsmajesty]

From the fuss the chair and the armor made at her reappearance, one would think Liliana had been gone for months rather than a few weeks. And, truth be told, it made her feel decidedly odd. On the one hand, yes, of course she should be adored and missed. On the other hand, her underlings - which these most certainly were - ought to be properly terrified of her and should have seen her absence as an escape.

Was she losing her touch? Was she becoming...nice?

Wonderful. A small identity crisis to deal with on a Monday. Just what she always wanted.

"You will need to accrue a very large debt if that is the case," Liliana said. "Progenitors don't like to let go of their scions easily; the size of their bloodline is often just as much a powerplay as anything else."

And surely Ignis was going to go for a progenitor. Or, at the very least, as low a generation as he could possibly get.

"Though I suppose it makes sense for Kristoff to refuse, considering the circumstances of his turning. If I remember correctly, Florian Voldaren insisted that Runo send the fledgling that turned him to the Bloodless Wall in Thraben as punishment. He was worried Kristoff would quit his business out of anger and spite."
