"So, how'd it go?" Roberto asked.
"It was the quietest session of parliment ever," Mia smirked. "I guess after Henry freaked everyone out the first time but revealing the truth behind all the lies they were telling they were all pretty scared when they came in today."
Henry shook his head.
"They kept shooting nervous glances at me everytime one of them stood up to speak."
"So funny," Mia chuckled. "And I love the poker face you were giving them. I mean, seriously. That was awesome."
Elata giggled.
"There was no arguing or posturing, just simple plain facts."
"Nothing go accomplished though," Henry pointed out.
"These are early days yet," Mia replied solomnly. "They've had a scare, and now they need a chance to settle into the new routine. It'll happen."
Roberto lifted his glass.
"To the Genovian Parliment. May they soon get their act together."
"Hear, hear," Elata giggled, holding up her glass as well.
