Sigil: The City of Doors

She hadn't even come up with a name for the place yet. Probably something involving Slaadi, simply because that's what's been going on lately? Maybe something else referencing family? Ah, she didn't have the luxury of spending her time thinking about such things, there were damned taxes to deal with...

She frowned a little, not really understanding why he would react that way to her being with the Godsmen, but the moment passed. Then she was just left considering how to make things most difficult for his schedule, not coming up with anything and deciding that it was petty and childish anyhow. A si...

She kind of hated this. The whole 'trying to paint himself as the victim here' routine, like *she* had been the unreasonable one. Granted, there were lots of fathers who were far less deserving of the title than he, but that didn't mean he was blameless either! Still, how could she refuse this offer...

"Oh hells, I never even thought it was something like that!" She buried her face in her hand for a moment, then sighed and got up from her seat. "But... I guess we'll find out. Come on, let's get this over with. The longer I wait the more jittery I'll get and I'd hate to get so jittery I'll back out...
