No, there's not. I'm sure the Merchant would wish that we would stop starting fires everywhere we go, but I think we're getting better at not going completely scorched earth.

[A beat.]

We have started at least one coup though.

[westviews]

At least one coup.

[She repeats, somewhat amused by how casually she's said it.]

Did we finish it?

[rumorate]

Kind of? Someone new took control but the people weren't really looking for our input towards the end. It was a mess.

[So they left. Probably for the best.]

We're about fifty-fifty for leaving things better than we found it?

[westviews]

[Better than her own track record.]

Could be worse. Though I don't think anyone would be pleased if our reputation precedes us.

[rumorate]

I don't think information travels that quickly here. It's like days worth of travel between and they don't exactly phone lines.

[But she does have a point.]

So hopefully we don't have that much of a reputation to precede us.

[westviews]

So, this isn't the worst place to be.

[A beat, and Wanda adds,]

Just not where you wish to be right now.

[rumorate]

[She nods, slowly, because that's an accurate assessment. It's not perfect, but it will keep you busy, if nothing else.]

Unfortunately not. But I'll get over it. I've become accustomed to not getting what I want.

[And that's said with a fair share of bitterness.]
