Kentarchos Nokas:
Nokas together with two guardsmen escort White Speaker to the room. Kentarchos opens the door and lets senator Pylaeus in, following him into the room. He closes the door - with both guardsmen on the other side Nokas and White Speaker are now alone. He takes off his helmet and approaches Pylaeus - you notices that he's missing a huge chunk of his right ear where the long scar on his face ends.
- His Excellency illustrious President of the Imperial Senate salutes you, White Speaker. His Excellency expresses his deepest regret that the situation had to be resolved in such decisive manner - alas harsh times call for harsh actions.
Nokas smirks and you have serious doubts whether he personally have any regrets regarding what happened.
- His Excellency acknowledges however that despite the sad state of the Senate filled with... unreliable men there are still true Romans among the senators, those loyal to the Throne and who put good of the Imperium above their personal goals. Those who can act with dignity and discretion. His Excellency considers you to be among them.
Nokas looks around the room before continuing.
- His Excellency considers the White Demes to be the only reliable faction in the Senate, especially after what happened today. He respects the position of the White Demes on the subjects of this session and indeed agrees with them. The Senate should show his unanimous support to His Imperial Majesty by supporting the bills. No matter the outcome of this session, His Excellency respects industrious and diligent men.
Nokas looks you straight into the eyes.
- Due to the Plague many of the important offices have been emptied and new officials are yet to be nominated. You do have a son, don't you? And your colleagues in the White Demes...
Nokas pokes you at the chest and you can feel the weight of his metal gauntlet.
- His Excellency is a generous man, especially towards his friends. I would like to ensure His Excellency that you are his friend, senator Decius of the House Pylaeus. Are you?
