[andexecutioner]

If you'd like to have a private meeting with the Adjudicator, this is where you should go! The Adjudicator is available at almost all hours of the day; just knock and he'll answer.

Comments are screened for privacy; no eavesdropping, that's rude.

[And at that, it's Brady's turn to be quiet. Not look up, at all, just listen to Juri's words and the flipping of the cards.

[He nods.]

...Are everyone's evening chats with you as cheery as this? [There's an attempted sliver of humor there but he's not in the mood to fully commit, so it just comes out dry, and a little sad.]

[andexecutioner]

[andexecutioner]

...Don't mention it.
