The Portside Embassy

[Euca]

Perhaps, it was the hand that slapped his face, or the following remark that made Axel re-evaluate the situation within the Widerstand. Perhaps, it was the sudden change of character that made Axel re think his approach. But either way, he shouldn't have to take such sass from a so called 'witch' that ran the Widerstand.

Axel approached the (dare he call her) women and gave her his opinions on the matter.

"The Vorsitzende of the Widerstand shouldn't show such hositility to her members, Eistochter. If you're the face of this party, think about the public consequences that may follow after backing handing a member. Imagine the retreat of the supporting parties that paid, in both lives and finances, for us to be here, simply because you back hand, abuse or embarrass your members." Axel leans back on a table, crossing his arms and kicking his legs out slighty.

"You show more traits of the corrupt Kanzler than a political leader that is supposed to represent Rheinland's people."

Axel shifts his gaze lazily to Sparks.

"Crawling out of Zwickau was a good idea, McFarlen. We need intelligent engineers such as yourself to further our efforts."

He smiles and stands up and recites his family name and meaning with perfection.

"Eichel: acorn or oak, relevant to trees or other organic matter. Not used as a term to describe someone in your unprofessional matter. Aufwiedersehen, Eistochter, McFarlen."

With that, Axel leaves the bar.
