The Connacht Summit

[AuruemSaber]

The Syndic took his seat, pulling his right leg over his lap and his left hand resting on the back of his chair as he did. When Alex was presented with the glass and bottle, he wasted no time pouring a double and raising the glass slightly in Minister Burns's direction with his right hand.

Sláinte.

He toasted before downing the whiskey quickly before placing the glass back down with an appreciative grin.

Alex listened along as Burns spoke, nodding along at the mention of everything that came before the mention of the talks, seemingly familiar with each and every issue. However, the raised eyebrow that followed after the mention of the discussions seemed to imply the Syndic was unaware of said talks.

However, he remained silent for the moment and allowed Burns to continue to speak. As Alex listened, his fingers tapped away at the table's surface where the group was sat. When Burn's stopped to make a dramatic pause, however, the Syndics eyes rolled, but yet the Syndic remained silent.

After Burns had continued, however, Alex's eyebrows raised as he caught on to the Mollys' plan, and an appreciative smirk crept onto his face. Once Minister Burns had finished, he'd turn his gaze to both Lathrop and Schulze respectfully. Almost as if willing to defer to the others as to the feasibility of the plan from a logistics or economics side.

If the Syndic's apparel was anything to go by, it could very well be that any particular subject he'd like to chime in on would be those regarding might be the topics that involved a more rough-and-tumble approach with the Houses or the Corsairs.
