Sure, sure, he was qualified. But Evander Bole, in his life, had learned nothing comes free, and everything has a catch, and usually, a puppet master pulling the strings. He'd happily bet at least some of his galleons on Martel D'Isigny.

Not all of them.

He wasn't a gambling man after all.

"No. There is no need to complicate matters, as you put it. Or to interfere. Did you need staff, Gevrik? I have noticed Security seems a little.... short." And Maintenance was... not so much a concern to one Evander Bole.
"No, Evander, you are not doing your job. Not the way we see fit."

Gevrik took another warning step toward Bole. "And you know that is not why I am intervening, for now." Damn stubborn man. He was quite possibly the last person Ikenna would have wanted to know about the staffing issues in Security.

The shady man took another step toward the Head of Magical Law Enforcement. "I'm here to give you one last warning, Evander." They were eye to eye now with no room for Bole to squirm away, even with his arms crossed as they were.

"If you know what is best for you and yours, you will work with me and stop working against me. I know of your plans, your potions, your thinly-veiled warnings....and I will not have a repeat of your past performances working with my associates and myself. I have significant leverage against you this time that you may not even be aware of."

Ikenna's eyes could have drilled a hole clear through Bole's with their intensity as he allowed an image of one Lilyan Moretti and her son to flit to the surface of his thoughts.

"Are we clear?"
