Jaques takes another bite of eggs and shoves the paper away from himself with a snort and a look of irritation. He continues to eat his breakfast as Ojune slides into the seat across from him at the table with his own plate of breakfast.
The lalafel's green gaze scanned over the article to give it a quick read. "Oh, the Rose has made the papers. Why so glum? Won't this show that the Rose is able to give back to Ul'dah instead of... well... be a drain like so many view us as?"
Jaques just gives a shake of his head, "Maybe. It is too early to tell. But there is no mention of the refugees. Most of the captives were refugees from the camps outside Ul'dah. The -only- reason anyone gives a Twelves-damned thing about this is the fact that Rissen got greedy and took a few rich city-folk."
"Probably so. But that doesn't change the fact that a menace was ultimately taken care of. The refugees have their allies. They have been taken care of since they were freed, right? Returned to -their- families?"
"They have..."
"Then celebrate the victories! I don't think I've seen you so much as crack a smile since you returned last night. It isn't often that such things go so well!"
Jaques shoots Ojune an annoyed glare.
With a sigh, "Truly you are impossible. What of Rissen's connections? I know you aren't going to leave that up to the Flames to track..."
And so topics turned off the article.
