Hmm... No, that wouldn't work... Would it?|\n
I don't know... There's a lot to consider...|

\s[5]
Oh!\r[2] Pelly, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you.|

\s[2]
Hi, Eliza. It's fine, I wasn't doing\n
anything that important anyway.|

\s[5]
Really? You hid that little notebook\n
as soon as you realized I was here.|\e[5|1]\n
Keeping secrets are we, little brother?|

\s[2]
Er... Maybe? I'd rather not share\n
until everything is finalized.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Oh, I was just teasing, I respect your\n
privacy. You have no obligation to share\n
your diary with me. I certainly wouldn't.|

\s[2]
This isn't a diary. Well, maybe it is?\n
I don't really know what specifies a\n
diary from just a regular note journal...|

\s[5]
Pelly, you're overthinking things again.\n
Regardless, if you'd like my opinion\n
on what you've written down, you can feel\n
free to share with me when you're ready.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
All right, thanks Eliza. Well, I should\n
get back to this... I'll talk to you later.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
All right, see you later!|

I've never seen him so secretive before...\n
Now I really am curious as to what he's\n
writing down in that journal of his...|\n
Ah well, If he wants to share, he will.\n
No use in stressing about it for now.|

What if it's about a girl... Merlina?\n
Or someone else entirely? Ooh! Pelly...|

\s[5]
This is very strange, Pelly; pulling me away\n
to this discreet location. What's going on?|

\s[2]
Er, well I was going to talk to you about\n
what I've been jotting down recently.|\n
And due to the contents, I'd prefer if no\n
one else was aware of what's written yet.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
You've got me on the edge of my seat. So,\n
what's the big reveal? I have many guesses.|

\s[2]
You're going to laugh...|

\s[5]
Maybe I will, but I'll try not to!|

\s[2]
I've been working on a plan for the\n
Merovian Alliance. Specifically, for a\n
formal unification of the territories.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
... Oh.|

\s[2]
I know, I know; it's stupid to try and\n
figure something like this out right\n
now when we're still fighting Avilion.|

\s[5]
Er, no Pelly, there's nothing wrong with\n
planning for the future... I just thought\n
you were planning for something else.|

\s[2]
Huh? Is there something else I need to consider?|

\s[5]
Pay me no mind. Anyway, what are your ideas?|

\s[2]
All right, well one of the major reasons for the\n
Alliance's dissolution was representation.|\n
Lord Urien and those who supported him wanted\n
more of a say in what happened in their own\n
lands without needing approval from the others.|\n
I was thinking we could have two separate levels\n
of governing. Something at the state level, and\n
something else on a more national level.|

\s[5]
I see... Who would be working on resolutions\n
within territories then? Surely you don't\n
mean to make every Marquess a pseudo-king.|

\s[2]
That's where the noble houses of each territory\n
come in. Each house would have a representative\n
vote, and the people would have one as well.|\n
The Marquess would serve as a moderator as well\n
as a tie-breaker in the event one is needed.|

\s[5]
You said the people have one as well,\n
this is an elected representative then?|

\s[2]
That's right, meaning under normal circumstances,\n
the noble house representatives would be static,\n
while the people's would rotate every few years.|

\s[5]
That does heavily skew the power in the hands\n
of the nobility. Is that what you think is wise?|

\s[2]
Well, that's where the marquess comes into play,\n
as they're there to ensure a fair and just system.|\n
Besides, when it comes to national procedures,\n
all of the noble houses gain one vote total, while\n
the people still have their own. Equal grounds.|

\s[5]
An interesting system... I'd love to hear more,\n
but I think I have a meeting to attend.|

\s[2]
Of course! Sorry to talk your ear off. I just\n
haven't discussed this with anyone else yet.\n
Do you have any strong opinions so far?|

\s[5]
Well, I haven't heard everything, so this seems\n
like a good start, but I don't think giving the\n
nobility that much more power is a good idea.|\n
Especially since there isn't an equal amount of\n
noble houses in every territory. Some may have\n
only three or four, others have up to eight.|

\s[2]
Hmm... Fair points... I'll see what I can\n
do in the mean time. Sorry to keep you, Eliza.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
No need to apologize, Pelly. Thank you for sharing.|

Eliza! Do you have a moment?|

\f[5|Eliza]
\s[5]
I suppose I can spare some time, as\n
long as we're away from the action.|\n
What do you need, Pelly?|

\s[2]
Er, well I was going to talk to you about\n
what I've been jotting down recently.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
Oh! I completely forgot about that!|

\s[2]
Due to the contents, I'd prefer if no\n
one else was aware of what's written yet.|\n
