Inquisition.

( her voice is steady. her office is half-packed; she has not yet entirely decided where it will be most appropriate to move to. the nug, still unnamed all these months on, sleeps before the fire in an open box. how had she accumulated so many things to fill this space?

nevermind it. )

This is Madame de Cedoux. I have, since Kingsway of this year past, served this outpost in the capacity of ambassador, the head of the diplomacy division. I was honoured to have been entrusted with such work, and I remain exceptionally proud of what I and those nearest to my office accomplished in that time. To be given the opportunity as a woman out of her world was something that I did not take lightly or for granted, and I believe the experience has been invaluable to me. I may yet hope to hear my own work, one day, described so. For the time being—

It's with regret that I must inform you I will be, effective immediately, removing myself from this position to better serve the Inquisition by not becoming, in myself, a barrier to its best work. I shall, of course, continue to serve. I look forward to seeing the appointment of a successor, and I will gladly support their work and the work of my former colleagues in our shared goals. We cannot allow those goals or indeed our own principles to be waylaid by personal ill-feeling.

Thank you for your time.
