[Meeting Room]

"Not semantics. An important distinction. But I wouldn't expect a lesser to understand the nuances." Ilpholin replies.

"And I know what I risked. As I said, your concerns about this falling back on our house are unfounded. Tell me, when you found out about this, were you told that House Xar'cha made a move or that a rogue element made a move? I'm willing to bet it was the latter for all the reasons you mentioned earlier." That maniacal two-bit villain stuff. "If you go around and examine things, you'll find that nary a ****** is given by anyone about that situation. 90% probably don't even know. The apathy of the Nexus should not be underestimated. Granted, that is, unless someone like... say you, makes a big deal about it. Only then will the act itself gain any sort of strength or power. Only then can it tarnish the House."

"Ignore it and it'll do no harm. As it is, only Remnant has any cause to care, if that."
