Idle conversation

Anouk occasionally taunts Manser Biggs:

Fist of Bane Anouk: Your hand shakes, Gondian. Tell me, what was your friend's name?

• Gondian Manser Biggs: My husband's name was Lanpos, ma'am.
  • Fist of Bane Anouk: Lanpos deserved to die - tell me why.
    • Gondian Manser Biggs: My husband was eavesdropping, ma'am. He - he needed to be beaten.
      • Fist of Bane Anouk: Very good, little Gondian.
