[What's this? Gabranth calling. Hmm.]

Yes?

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

[He'll get straight to business.]

My Lord, we have an... issue.

Dr. Cid recently experimented on an animal, I am sure you're aware. However, said animal has made a video informing his friends that Dr. Cid threatens to cause more damage.

...I am sure you're aware of how awkward this situation may become.

[dynast-king.livejournal.com]

Pardon, did you say a speaking animal?

[Yes, that is a sigh you are hearing.]

I gather this is what Garnet was referencing the other day. She mentioned an unwilling subject, but I do not interfere in Cid's work.

It appears I shall have to make a minor exception. What was said, if you will?

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

Aye, my lord. A speaking animal.

[A minor pause.] The creature suggested that Dr. Cid threatened a woman by the name of Tifa and would ensure her marriage does not go ahead. He also spoke of there being a battle coming. The animal seems to be rallying his friends together and speaking of 'putting an end' to the Doctor and his work.

If this were to come back to you... [Well, we know it'd be bad for public images.]

Perhaps some form of protection for Dr. Cid may be in order, Your Grace.

[dynast-king.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I will speak with him. Thank you for informing me.

[Do not need this right now, Cid.]

I wonder that people would believe a speaking animal so readily, but then perhaps they are acquainted with the Viera who are much the same.

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

Of course, My Lord.

It seems those he speaks to are from his world. Perhaps they merely find it the norm. Indeed, the Viera are much the same as he, in way of animals having the capacity to form words.

[dynast-king.livejournal.com]

Ah, then perhaps that is the explanation. No matter, I shall speak with Cid regarding the people and leave the beast to his discretion. If it continues to be problematic, we can exterminate it.

[Vayne considers critters to be just that, and worth not much if they cannot be put onto a dinner plate.]

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

Aye. It should not be too difficult a task. [He pauses for a moment.]

Of course, should his friends try to intrude, it may become a rather public incident.

[dynast-king.livejournal.com]

Should they try to intrude, I shall have them all imprisoned for trespassing. I will not tolerate disturbances to the peace and order.

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

Indeed, Lord Vayne.

Well, I shall leave you to attend your matters.

[dynast-king.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Gabranth. Should this rabble truly come, they may be put to the blade.

[empires-lapdog.livejournal.com]

Then I shall offer my blade, as always, My Lord.
