Maybe it's a "royal we" thing, though it's some sort of Martian gendered way of referring to someone. I'm not entirely sure I get it, but they sure are... some kind of person, yeah.
Oh—no, Lady Wiltshire's a good sort, she does charity work. The other ones, though, yeah, those Martians—that'd be Vainamoinen and their spouse, Ata—Atalet—you know what, they just tell people to call them "Wyoming Alexander," I'm just gonna go with that.
Oh, no, that was definitely Vainamoinen. They all have bloody hard-to-pronounce names. Wyoming Alexander is just a con... person. Who also happens to be royalty, and also happens to be married to Vainamoinen. Martian royalty is apparently just awful.
Vainamoinen always wears this bullshit armor even to salons, and is—
[ he gestures at a height a little taller than yours. ]
Really tall. And they go basically everywhere with Wyoming Alexander, these days, after First-Keeper Naarabot married them in the middle of a salon in the weirdest most threatening marriage ceremony I've ever seen, no offense to Martians.
Well, they both put their heads under this scarf for a bit, and then they poured water into each others' hands and said some vows about how "my enemies are your enemies" and "my profits are your profits" and how they will cut down what stands in each others' way and so on.
Considering Vainamoinen's always at war with someone and Wyoming Alexander just had their human fiancée break it off with them, it felt like it was intended to be pointed.
Speaking of First-Keeper Naarabot, I heard there was some controversy surrounding her recently. Can you tell me anything about that? I'm really out of the loop.
When isn't she in the center of some controversy, honestly...
...well, she's the so-called Voice of the Revolution for that rebellion in Meepsoor, and a callous bitch besides, so I don't know why they let her in here, either, considering she's actively ordering attacks on British garrisons. That, and...
Lochaana Naarabot... the information that led to the sabotage at Avenel apparently came from her office. I've been trying to track down the real story, but...
...I don't trust her, even if Raachna's willing to vouch for her. If you hear anything, I'd really like to get to the bottom of that. Just for... my own peace. So I can make sure it never happens again.
Not at all—go ahead, though, honestly, I'm just gonna finish my smoke out here. I'm not precisely the most genteel company, so it might be for the best not to be seen with me if you're asking around, but I'll catch up.
Well, she's really striking—but, ah, she's got long white hair, the sort of bronze skin Martians tend to have with some gold markings—and usually wears something like a long blue robe.
...and, well, she'll probably ask you a lot of questions. She's a curious soul, at heart. Wants to know all about the world.
