it’s not going to work. ( beidou for ningguang! )
"A frustrating state of affairs..."
Tumblr media
Despite her words, there is little emotion in Ningguang's words, only cool assessment as she appraises the situation. Each day that passes leaves the state of the negiations with Natlan in tatters and while they can endure a small amount of wear, eventually they will corrode past the point of return and there will be no friendliness between nations left to salvage. A situation she has no interest in entertaining.
A pace to her board leaves her casting her eyes over the papers, rearranging the documents charting the course of the ship with the gold, the list of workers who knew of the contents of the ship's cargo, the staff who have been privy to some or all of the conversations. Somewhere within these notes she will find the weak link and be able to see they face consequences for the harm they have caused, thus ending matters on Liyue's end. As for the pirate problem, this requires more thought.
"Do we at least know the name of the one who has laid claim to what was ours?" she asks, turning to lay her golden gaze upon Beidou, assessing the reaction coolly. It does not escape her notice that the loyalty to Liyue is at war here, Nassau being a home that she will never understand to her companion, but she will trust in Beidou as long as her actions still show she is worthy of it. Her service has earned her that much.
"If we do not, then I will need you to sail for Nassau. I cannot have any missing pieces to this puzzle if I am to fathom a solution..."
