That's how power works, even in life.

[ Nobody is losing any literal magic, of course, but so much of politics is having people believe you're capable of following through on your promises. It's not as on the nose as the power of expectations, but Gil thinks it'd be a mistake to call that kind of effect intangible.

He's smiling like this is all some private joke, because really... It kind of is. Rau has never seen him in his function as propaganda king, but Gil is still quite proud of himself. ]


Attempting to weaken Niesha comes dangerously close to biting the hand that feeds, of course. Given our precarious state of existence, I'd urge to have a plan for redirecting that hypothetical power elsewhere.
