D'hein Tia is focusing wholly on Illira now, "If ity were approved it would not have been necessary! As for usefulness, well, we'll see! You all ahven't exactly changed the world in my absence."
llira Carceri smirks, "Maybe not, but things aren't falling apart, which considering everything is a good thing, D'hein."
D'hein Tia: Considering that Eorzea is in a state of peace and celebration, things very well may fall apart at any moment. You just won't see it coming because you've no vision for these things.
Illira Carceri: Oh no, you obviously listened to nothing in the meeting that we just had not so long ago. We're quite aware of the situation. Hence why its a miracle things haven't completely collapsed.
D'hein Tia: Yes, yes, and we need to hire adventurers to get some work done and fix everything. Now, then, as to that investigation.
Illira Carceri runs a hand over her face, "What more can I tell you about it? We need another investigator before it can move forward. Though Antimony had said she was close to nailing down the connections."
D'hein Tia: It would be a conflict of interest for me to do the legwork. Why don't you just do it so we know that it's done right?
llira Carceri tilts her head to the side, brows deeply furrowed. "Are you really not listening to me? I've already told you that neither of us can. Even if we did have the skill sets neccessary. I'm merely telling you why it stalled for the moment."
D'hein Tia: I'm afraid a delay in this investigation is unacceptable. It's already taken far longer than it should have. You'll just have to take Antimony back on as a contractor and work with her more closely this time.
Illira Carceri glares steely eyed at D'hein. "Absolutely not. She is far too volatile for such, even in normal circumstances. And under the present one, she is of a singular mind, to be with her new-found child."
D'hein Tia: No one is of singular mind. An employee is only as good as their supervisor. Whatever approach you took with her obviously failed.
Illira Carceri: That is simply absurd D'hein. It is not my fault that women is so crippled by her anxieties as to not do her work in a professional manner. I've seen this time and again with her.
Illira Carceri: You merely wish to manipulate her back into closer contact with you again.
D'hein Tia frowns and speaks straight, "You've a hideous paradigm for asset management. Employees are assets which collapse if mismanged. I've mind to investiagte your mismanagement of Antimony as an asset, but I'll not insult you with such formality. I'll simply assume that your disability to experience empathy rendered you unable to deal with Antimony's human needs."
llira Carceri clenches her jaw, "You have no room to speak D'hein. I have offered her chances and support. I stopped today when I saw her to give her the later. Simply because the world does not turn exactly as you wish it does not mean that you have the right to lay blame on others. To speak plainly, Antimony has a right to live her life and her choice lead her out of our employment."
Illira Carceri: There is no "blame" to lay. It is merely time to move onward.
D'hein Tia: By your own admission the investigation is stalled through lack of a viable investigator, isn't it?
Illira Carceri says, defensively, if not a little angerly, "Because I have not had the time to find one, since I've been cleaning up the mess you left! I'm about done with you. You have taken absolutely no repsonsibility for anything you've done, all the while ordering others about. Apparently you've forgotten that you cannot order me about. I am not -your- employee."
D'hein Tia: No, but you are very helpful, and without even being asked! Thank you for that. Now, as the workload thins, I've no doubt your stress will retreat. IN the meantime I cannot emphasize enough the importance that this investigation move forward immediately.
Illira Carceri the anger still in her voice, she responds, "I've merely been doing work. And as it became obvious that you were not returning from you vanishment anytime soon I had to take over your post, while still continuing on with my own. You think I'm here in Ul'dah by choice, D'hein? I'm here because of you negilgence. Ildur may be forgiving. But I am not."
D'hein Tia: What you call negligence is actually me artfully dealing with unforeseen circumstances. Let's get back on that bit about there being no blame to plce, and see about getting done what must needs be done, hm?
Illira Carceri narrows her eyes, "It'll get done when its able to. I think you forget I have a stake in that particular investigation as well, D'hein."
D'hein Tia: I'm not concerned with your personal stake, Illira. This is professional, and I'd thank you to keep that in mind.
Illira Carceri: You say that, and yet its the Dodos that you're hoping to catch in this. My stake is that I know full well that the Brass Blades are full of corruption. And that the Pearl Lane Post is worse than most."
D'hein Tia: Don't assume my associations when you don't know. My tribe's relationship with the SYndicate does give me a decent view of the Syndicates dealings with my tribe, obviously, but that's why I'm insisting you head the investigation.
Illira Carceri: And my own involvement with the Blades is why I cannot do the investigation myself. So you see why we need a replacement found.
D'hein Tia: Yet you don't have one and the asset that was perfect for the job and practically finished the job has been terminated.
Illira Carceri: You need to clean your ears better D'hein. I've already explained the circumstances to you. Antimony quit. She left Ul'dah to run away from personal problems with the intention not stopping until she reached Mor Dhona. Her finding her daughters and returning to Ul'dah now is unrelated. I stopped this evening to talk to her not as an employer but as someone concerned for her health."
D'hein Tia crossed his arms and smiled, "Not unrelated. My doing. My skills at asset management returned the asset to Ul'dah despite your failure to keep ehr here. She's the best asset I have in Ul'dah, so I'll just have to put her back together. I assume you won't go out of your way to interfere."
Illira Carceri grimaces, displeasure cast on her face, "It is unrelated in that it is no longer the business of the CRA. Your own cheap machinations aside. Her return does not change anything. If she wishes to involve herself in a personal way again, I can do nothing about that. But she is not a fit for the CRA. Not in any reasonable span of the future at least."
D'hein Tia: Your opinion is noted. Unless you have a way to make the investigation move forward RIGHT NOW, it is not a helpful opinion.
Illira Carceri: Bringing back an unstable probationary former employee is not an option.
Illira Carceri: And that is a fact. Not merely my opinion.
D'hein Tia: Of course it is. It's not like she isn't elligible for rehire. Even so, it would be best to take her on as a contractor until this single investigation is done. What is not an option is further delaying this investigation in any way.
Illira Carceri shakes her head. "I disagree with -your- opinion D'hein. The woman is in no state to work. You are merely blinded by your own desire for her and her daughter. Which given your.... proclaimed parental status over her other daughter is... strange and dubious in intention at best. You're personal interest in her is to close to have any definitive say in her employment status."
D'hein Tia shrugs, "You'll have to take it up with Ildur."
Illira Carceri: No. You'll have to take it up with him. Her rejoining the CRA is not a given as you seem to think it is. In fact its the opposite. She hired on a three month probationary period. She had issues on both of her initial assignments, the first could be looked over, this one though... absolutely not."
D'hein Tia turns to the side and looks up at the sky, "I'm not sure this conversation is going anywhere. You've nothing to offer me to solve the problem, do you?"
Illira Carceri grits her teeth. "Now that you can start pulling your own..." she presses her lips together hard, as if holding herself back," ...weight again, I can begin putting forth energy back into it, since I don't have to carry all of your work for you anymore."
D'hein Tia turns one ear towards Illira, the other laying down on his skull. He stares at the sky as though it's said something odd to him. "Energy back into what?"
Illira Carceri takes in a deep breath. "The bloody investigation! I'm done here. You can look me up again once you've cleaned those furballs out of your ears." The Elezen turns on her heels and stalks away, not bothering, or wanting to wait for any sort of response.
D'hein Tia looks distressed and paws at his ears, "Furballs? That's unsettling."
llira Carceri smirks, "Maybe not, but things aren't falling apart, which considering everything is a good thing, D'hein."
D'hein Tia: Considering that Eorzea is in a state of peace and celebration, things very well may fall apart at any moment. You just won't see it coming because you've no vision for these things.
