[A quick, dismissive wave of his free hand, and he sits.]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Didn't happen. C'mon, you're the one with political experience — what now?

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her chair wheels closer as she cradles the mug in her hands.]

I have political experience in an existing, functioning government. This is something else. [She sounds wearier than she ought to; less certain, less confident.] It's easy to say we need negotiation, and compromise, and representation. But first we need a solid foundation to build off.

[5055034455]

You can say that again.

[That this is something else.

He sighs quietly, resting both hands on his own mug. The warmth is nice.]

Okay, here's my experience with government: some local councilman needed my help after he knocked up the wrong prostitute. I've also got an MA in Political Science, but like you said — that's experience with an established system. I mean, shit, are we looking at the need to draw up a Constitution, or...?

[bodilesswarrior]

[She's not in a laughing mood, but it does draw a smirk, if a fleeting one.] And then there's whatever systems the city might have in place, once we get back.

[5055034455]

And then there's that, yeah.

[So...]

So.
