[Malkaer Andares]

Sadly Ogabe had not taken Malkaer up on his public invitation to sort the matter out under the pleasure of a drink or meal. Apparently the minister had no desire to ‘stoop’ to his level. Or perhaps his Exalted Excellency feared the confrontation? The Lieutenant Governor had a good idea of the implications of his actions prior to initiating them. The matter was not over yet, but the first reactions had been as expected. As of yet the balance was in his favor and he did not regret his actions.

“We are all on the same side yes, but we are not all in the same place. Everyone involved in a government has duties that differ from other officials. It is my duty to govern Lauryl; it is a Minister’s duty to oversee his or her mandate. Given this difference, it is logical that sometimes these duties will run alongside and at other times they will collide. This is not a bad thing though; it ensures that every level of government functions at the highest level of efficiency.”

Malkaer wondered how the Vicegerent would take his philosophy on government. He knew he was potentially taking a risk, thus the esh’lahier spoke very humbly. “The upcoming Senate meeting, yes. To put it simply, I am rather curious to what changes are planned.” He smiled pleasantly.
