Empress Tamasi?
Well, the news is in; at Nacreon’s behest, Nikolao is off to court with Isleen to discover the discoverable. Only the GM knows what they will find out…
Isleen can ponder her discovery of Tamasi’s besetting weakness—books and libraries—as she goes. Some people are gentle(wo)men scholars, some are gentle(wo)men and scholars—Tamasi was a young scholar before she ever became a gentlewoman.
And Tamasi, as she waits in her rooms for their return, can ponder Isleen’s fears and Muireann’s apparent addiction to tranquilizers. (I-as-player know what Muireann’s problem is, but Tamasi doesn’t. Isleen knows too, but has loyally held her tongue.)
Not to mention the possibility alluded to in the title of this post. Exactly what’s up with the royal marriage proposal nobody knows—and nobody knows what Tamasi is thinking about it, either, now that she’s had a bit of a chance to recover from the initial shock. But she has been thinking about it, no question, and I rather suspect that none of the other characters would be entirely comfortable with her thoughts.
And this family is so dysfunctional and Tamasi is so intimidating that nobody’s yet asked. Heh.
Of the three servants implicated in the poisoning, Tamasi spirited away the one most obviously uninvolved (and most nastily abused by Nacreon’s guards), Nikolao took another under his fins, and the third—has disappeared. Hmmm.
Crud. You know, I just realized Tamasi hasn’t given any orders to eliminate the vector through which the poisoning occurred. And I don’t trust the guards to think of it themselves. Need to fix that.
