Amranu: Surely my ears deceive me! A Spiritwalker of Hashan speaking as
though uselessness and ineptitude are negative traits. Sir, you and your
kin have made a career of those things, much like the CIJ! I must
therefore take your kind words as both a compliment and an expression of
brotherhood in our lives of futility and bumbling. I must, however,
insist that the CIJ has taken the methods of failure first developed by
your organizations and turned them into a fine art of which we are very
proud.

We therefore propose a side-challenge between the CIJ and spiritwalkers
to see who can screw up better. I think you will find us more than a
match for your outdated skills at triviality. Consider yourselves missed
awkwardly with the dueling glove!

Oenone: Just because we let the shadowsnakes dress up in a wig and tell
us we've been naughty doesn't make them our mommies.
