Contact Report

eport of Contact between Jon Chess and Acinovath of House Mourningsong

Scarlet Raven Tavern, Darkshire

=======================================================================

Acinovath:  Mister Chess? I am Lord Acinovath Sunora, of House Mourningsong. I received word from a Lady Alexis Greystone that you're investigating my Lady Raysse Nightvale, for possible treason?

Chess: That is correct

Acinovath: Are you at liberty to discuss how you were clued onto her?

Chess: I am not; client confidentiality is important, whether beggar or SI:7

Acinovath: Alright, fair enough. I can respect professionalism. What about the specifics of the charges that are being leveled against her? Treason could mean a great many things. If we're to absolve her of any accused wrong-doing, it would greatly help to know what she's being accused of exactly.

Chess: Perfectly understandable.  Might I add my personal welcome to yourself and your Ren'dorei associates?  I have long been of the opinion that the people who became known as the Sin'dorei were pushed into the hands of the Horde because of short-sighted Alliance bigotry.

Acinovath: Your acceptance is welcome, as is your welcoming of us back into the fold. 

Acinovath: *runs a hand through his hair* Well, is there anything in specific you are able to tell me about your investigation so far?

Chess:  Further, while my investigation of Lady Raysee Nightvale is confidential, may I say that she has my personal sympathy for what she has undergone.  And of course, by extension, yourselves.

Acinovath: Once more, your sympathies are appreciated. It's too few who make any attempt to understand what we've gone through, what has led us to being here.

Chess: I also freely offer that, should charges result from my investigation, I will happily testify to her benefit.  My personal beliefs are not..relevant. I am well-experienced in testifying under Oath in court, as you might imagine.  I know how to parse my words with great precision.

  

Acinovath: I imagine so. I'm curious, Mister Chess, do you take on multiple cases at a time, or do you limit yourself to only one investigation?

Chess: I often have ongoing concurrent cases, when there is no conflict of interest.

Acinovath: *nods twice, humming as he does* Very good, very good. I would like to hire you then, once your current investigation has finished.

Chess: What would be the general nature of the investigation?

 *pause* Wait.

Acinovath: *raises his eyebrow inquisitively at Chess*

Chess:  Before you answer, let me remind you my investigation is not complete, and so this interview could be potentially be examined under oath. Tell me no secrets. I offer that with honesty and respect, to a potential client.
