celeste: She is his, and he is hers. The Seam has spoken. Do discuss the politics after I have left.

m: In light of recent events, I am feeling rather forgiving and will overlook the fact that multiple Eden citizens have trespassed onto my land this morning.

sheridan: We will be there, your majesty.

m: Good. Our empires depend on it.
