F-319-Lia: Vizierate Complex
Other People
A Vizant and someone wearing the tan-coloured clothes of a Vizierate contractor, going about whatever their business is.
Missed It
Also, I didn’t see your second comment on F-313-Lia before responding.
After a brief silence.
“You would prefer for our business to be concluded this cycle?”
So Farbello’s response, ‘I had other plans for today, just re-organising things and arranging contingency space.‘ in F-314-Lia only refers to him explaining his message in F-311-Lia and is not an answer to her question.
So I will say he said, wryly, “we might need to have a conversation about managing expectations.”
Then the aerostat came into land, forestalling further conversation, which might be appropriate to pick up now they’re in the suite, if you wish.
The Elephant Suite
Beyond the door, the suite is huge and luxurious. Obviously on the outer wall of the pyramidal building, one wall has an inward slope and is dominated by a huge picture window overlooking the darkened grounds of the Vizierate complex with the lights of the city visible across from and reflected in what seems to be a small lake.
The central living area has a large, low circular couch around a height-adjustable round table. There is a massive vid screen on one wall and another is dominated by a large hand-painted picture of a mythical beast – an elephant rampant with wild shaggy hair and the signature tentacle coming out of its face above tusks and below startling blue eyes.
The suite is done in colours taken from the picture – mostly greys and blues with orange highlights to match the fire coming from the beast’s mouth and face-tentacle.
On one side of the room is a dining nook with benches and chairs at a table big enough to seat six. Through doors off the living area Lia can see a separate kitchen, bath room, two bedrooms and what might be two separate study/office/meeting rooms.
Farbello steps in and aside to make way for Lia and allow her to assess the space.
She will saunter into the suite, taking in the design and the elephant, which makes her throw a smile over her shoulder at Farbello before stopping at the window to drink in the view.
She will pause there for a moment, appreciating the size of the window and the lights of the city before glancing over her shoulder again.
“What were you saying about managing expectations?”
