Avis de Tramontane sur la Corse - a Unione Corse gathering

[Exdeathevn]

Looking back towards Chloe as she responded, Treiz gradually lowered his hands before taking up his glass again.
"It is up to the Senat as a whole to vote on this. While, as Tribuns, we each have a certain amount of stopping power, we could let this play out. I am personally quite curious to know if he is eager and bold enough to demand we vote now, or if he will wait until the next regular full session for us to decide. After all, we shall have to vote not just for one Tribun to replace Poitoux, but a second for his spot as well. Her retirement, I fear, may be more untimely than Lucas Ricard's ..."

Treiz considered her response, as he glanced back towards André. Embarrassingly, Poitoux had slipped his mind, but Chloe was right; A replacement Tribun would need to be nominated and voted for in addition to André if his bid for the Parrain seat were to succeed. Two more Tribuns rising from the Senateur seats would open up two more Senateur seats in turn, but those were somewhat easier to fill from participating families.


"... we are surrounded by many unknowns; people, motives, and movements alike. How do you fit in?"
Chloe's tone and question left him puzzled, as he pondered a response for a second and misreading the intention behind her words.

"I would seek Advancement and Stability for the Unione, as the two go hand-in-hand, but I have no reason to seek a position as Parrain myself. At a guess, he simply hoped to make his intentions known prior to the next official meeting, particularly if he plans to succeed. It would be foolish to expect an immediate vote in his own home; Some may see such a move as dictatorial, and the seat would forever be out of his reach in that case." He paused to enjoy another sip from his wine glass, taking a moment to gaze in André's direction.
"I suppose the seat needs to be filled, at least. If he cannot convince me by the end of today's events I will have to ponder this further in my own time. After all," he continued, raising his glass to his lips again with a sigh. "I imagine ours may be the more favorable votes he would seek to win over."

Draining the remainder of his glass, he motioned one of the attendants for a refill, gazing out of the window as conversation around him continued. He would have to pace himself on the wine after this next glass though before his next flight aboard the Livreur. The only thing to ponder next, would be who André decided to approach individually if he planned to do any more convincing or gauge opinions on his own.
