The pleasure is mine, Mme Ashara. I believe already we are sharing personnel! Mssr Gandir is attached to your division, if I'm not mistaken?

( And project leader for something under Petrana's...his interest in which and her interest in learning about dwarves had been what originally acquainted the two of them, setting the stage for the business with Artemaeus. A neat bit of maneuvering all around; she expects her recent handling of the Tevinters to be not unrelated to approval of her request to take this role from Trask.

Round and round and round we go. God be praised for competent help, and so many fewer than she's used to holding knives behind their backs. )
