Birthright: Battle For The Confederation- Turmoil - Plot & Excerpts
"You know by now that I am willing to do certain things in order to facilitate our deal," he said, still staring straight ahead and avoiding eye contact. "But these people aren't idiots; sooner or later somebody is going to ask why I do the things I do, and I'm going to have a hard time explaining it to them. Like this inquiry, like moving Velk to the city here, like telling the Navy to reassign the ships with the best records to out-of-the-way roles and a dozen more inexplicable things that you've told me to do." Finally, he looked at her, letting the chair's springs snap him back to an upright seating position. "But it can't last, at least not unless there are some seriously positive things also happening that I can take credit for as far as the populace goes. So, what's Enric going to come back with?" Starr let that hang in the air for a bit, not just to taunt him but to see how he reacted to the stress. He just stared at her, a sign she took to mean he was starting to get desperate. In that case, it was best to pacify him; she didn't need him to go out and try to make big plans of his own without her guidance.
