Evangeline blinks, having heard some of the conversation outside. "What Miss Spahro wants to say is that it wasn't a vacation, it was..."
Evangeline clears her throat, lowering her voice an octave in an attempt to look suitably mysterious. "A secret undercover investigation."
"So secret, she couldn't even tell you. But when the story comes out, it will make this paper the most famous periodical in Eorzea."
The Lalafell scoffs, "I find that hard to believe, and we already got rid of her desk, hired a replacement even."
Evangeline pulls a random assortment of papers from her satchel, trying to hide the fact that they are her political flyers, "Well then, we'll just have to sell this to the Mithril Eye then..."
Titileo blanches, "Those two bit liers? They've been beating me out in sales ever since that Hildibrand nonsense."
"Just give us one week, to finish the story, agreed?"
The Lalafell nods slowly, "One week? Fine, I'll pay her wages for a week, but if the story doesn't sell... then it will be the last gil she sees from me."
Evangeline nods gratefully, "Spahro, I'll be outside, you can finish working out the details." She slips outside and leans against the rough stone of the building.
