[ Aizawa's lolling against some tree somewhere. Terrible, slumped posture; hair wild about his face. His expression is neutral, bordering on irritable, and his voice is an exhausted monotone. He sits with one leg folded over the other, idly tossing a cat figurine from hand to hand. ]

Hey. Myself and a few others did some looking around. Apparently, both the sea clan and the mountain clan have their allies--but they're not within easy reach. In the case of the sea clan, the empress's brother is married to some far-off queen. The mountain clan's allies aren't too nearby, either.

[ He shifts minutely. His eyes flutter briefly shut, and he sighs. ]

Point being, war between these two would be irrational. The old man we spoke with said no one really wants to start anything, but I don't know how true that is. I haven't tried to approach the nobles.

[ He really doesn't look or act the part, and he knows it. Nor does he have an escort. ]

If you've spoken to any of them, what's the mood? What do they want?

[ He cards a hand through his hair, frowning slightly. ]

They're the key to this, I think. Certainly the key to actually meeting that empress of theirs. So if you've got info, or if you've made any connections, spill it.

[Wow, so polite.]

Oh -- after. The day after.

Not too unusual given the timeframe, then.

[One could hardly blame a citizen of the Empire for giving in to the instinctive urges of self-preservation. That said:]

What was your impression of him? In general— not solely in regards to the situation he'd found himself in.

Um... devoted to his wife. [This isn't what he's asking, she's aware, but it's the first thing that comes to mind. She obviously wore the... hakama... in the relationship.] I think she was the one making all the escape plans.

[She pauses a second, thinking back.]

He didn't want us to know they were leaving. Really nervous about it.

Was this in the commoner's district?

No, he's a noble.

Interesting.

[Said with all due sincerity, Thrawn doesn't lay any sarcasm on the table for a subject like this one.

That, and she seems like an entirely helpful creature, considering the information she's freely given; there's no reason to sully such open generosity.

I thank you for addressing my questions. Success in your hunt, Fiona.

[Oh, my god, she likes this guy. Everyone else in the guild is either an asshole or obnoxious (or both), so it's nice to be... thanked? Acknowledged?? Whatever it is, he just made a new best friend.]

Haha, well. You're welcome. [She pauses, glancing at the username, and takes an educated stab in the dark.] Thrawn.
