Senator Flavius Lucius MojmiridSenator Magnus Arrius:
*Magnus stares at Senator Mojmirid, furious over his suggestion.*
"You... you think she is guilty? That she is a heretic? How? You cannot dismiss all she has done for the people, for the Imperium herself. We should be discussing how to save her, not how her death can aid us! Sending her to the Xenoi... no one deserves such torture, least of all a girl of royalty who has done what she can to avoid disaster. It is foolish to declare her a heretic, and if the Imperium has any wisdom she will be found innocent at the Synod. We owe her too much to dismiss her, to cast her out. "
*Moving away from the other Blue Demes, Magnus runs a shacking hand through his hair, trying to calm himself.
"Where is our host? I want to know why we are here, so that we can be done with this business."
{{To clarify, my last statement isn't telling Czoklet to hurry up, just to reflect Magnus' rage.}}
*At hearing Senator Arrius' outburst Flavius arched an eyebrow and cocked a half smile.*
"Senator Arrius, I never said I thought she was a heretic. All I said was that we know the outcome will be a condemnation of heresy. My only suggestion is that we use that condemnation in the best way possible. I can assume that you are a supporter of her then, perhaps even a secret follower of her teachings? Be that as it may, I could care less if you were Christian, Jewish, Muslim, some Xenoi faith, or even worshiped the ancient Mesopotamian gods like Assur. Religion has no place in my heart, all that I care about are facts, and information, and how to use them in ones favor. We don't need to have her assassinated, although outside of the country it would be easy for my agents to do. However exile in any case is the best option. Thinking rationally, had the ancient Romans merely exiled Jesus, he could not spread his teachings and we would all still be worshiping Jupiter. There is no need to get so emotional over the subject."
*Flavius gives Senator Arrius a dead eye stare, as though he was conveying his force of will through merely a gaze.*
