And the tide turned the moment her name was revealed.
Colette breathed victoriously when Adrian abdicated his station to join hers. That he knew her spoke to his education and awareness, but Colette did not doubt that the Moreau name carried weight on the other side of the world. If only it pulled as much with the Sphere, the council of Privileges that advised Ascendancy. She watched the commanding manner in which his belongings was moved. A cup and napkin was hardly a burden, but he let the server carry out the task. She might have found it haughty if not for the fact that Colette would have done no different had the roles been reversed. He was certainly upper class, then.
Once he was settled, Colette indicated that she had no additional requests. The server left them to talk. The sky dimmed to a deep plum by then.
She considered how openly to respond to his question. She saw no reason for secrecy, but still, this was the CCD and she was an American working with an American Congresswoman to try and exact change over here. She didn’t want to invite trouble by offending the wrong person, and she didn’t know Adrian. He may work for the government for all she could discern from a look.
So she opted to be tactful. “I’m trying to gain an audience with Privilege Sulteev,” and waited to see how he would react. Either he would find her aspiration absurd or he would think the goal impressive. “His office is very busy, as I can only imagine,” she added with a tip of the shoulder.
