[Someone's looking a little haggard. But, hey, SOMEONE has to make a statement.]

Dr. Stein, I apologize for the trouble.

I'm certain the rest of you know it well by now, but the 'royal duel' did not and shall not happen. We've trouble enough without carrying our--

Oh my cooood, blondie, this can't seariously be all the sugar you gots. What happened to those little chocolate-sugar cereal things you had?-- you ain't finish 'em all off did you?

[He shouts back over his shoulder.]

The ones I bought this morning? That was reely all you bought?

[Sigh... right, back to his message. Where was he? Oh, skip the lecture.]

Nevertheless, for the time being, Meenah shall be sharing room with me in Casualty Communal. Should you requi--

Is there at least somefin around here I can bake? Check the cupboard!

...If naught else, this sort of thing is supposed to strengthen resonance, is it not?

Sea salt caramels?! Shoulda said you had these sooner!

[There's a split second of him making a mad dash for the pantry as the feed cuts off.]

Mayhap our recent troubles have left Shibusen's eye all the more keen. And Meenah only went to such great lengths to make it known.

[After a brief pause.]

What odds did you think to place?

Very true. Her post was the text equivalent of adorning the school in neon lights spelling out her intentions, and to ignore such an obvious act would be pathetic even for them.

[ahaha yeah she knows no one can resist wondering about that]

Barring radical unforeseen circumstances, I would have likely gone 2-1 in Meenah's favor. While our esteemed empress has considerable experience in battle, Meenah has quick access to a Weapon and a bevy of acquaintances in the City who likely would have jumped in to aid her if the tides turned against her.

I'm sure she appreciates the appraisal.

[He'll try to not let it go to his head, either.]

Though if their response was any indication mayhap it's for the best that she didn't, lest she be branded a turncloak herself. Your purse notwithstanding.

I have other means of income, thankfully. Although I'm not certain if there would be any real repercussions to such a categorization by Shibusen outside of a stern lecture.

Are you certain? I would not think them so callous as to let those in their employ turn on their own.

We're hardly in their 'employ' though. At least, I've yet to see any tangible benefit from associating with them.

[He'd have to think that one through a little further.]

Nonetheless, I do not think they would simply turn a blind eye to it. Especially if it had gone as far as the two of them might have wished- though, Gods be good, I would not have let that come to pass.

How lovely to know that there would have been a referee present regardless of their actions. Personally I'd put more stock in an organic response halting the violence than anything from the top, considering their usual rate of noticing things that are amiss.
