It was in the comfort of his own home on Annaj, him being the sole occupant, that the notice came as he enjoyed a fine glass of red while poring over the happenings within his holdings, his territory that stretched from its northmost point of Hebrides to the southmost world of Seoul; the recent acceptance of ICP's acquisition by AEL and the ongoing efforts that had begun at Chalcedon were among them, and finishing with a related report, then moving on to a message from another one of his councilors, a woman that was - as far as he was aware - still romantically attached to a former arbiter of the Fringe Confederacy - a man that he had seen next to nothing of as of late. He would have to look into that, sometime in the very near future.
Looking on the contents, message came not at all as a surprise. [member="Jared Ovmar"] (much like [member="Rave Merrill"]) had always seemed to have his fingers in many pies, and was ghostly scarce in this territory outside of his participation at Chalcedon - always up to something that one. A sister? Oh, yes. He'd heard about that one, but... no-one had been named in any news or whispers that had come to his eyes and ears. Nonetheless, there was only one response he could think to give, and he did not dally in giving it.
Miss [member="Kitt Solo"],
I understand the importance of family, and obligation. Do what you must. Should there be anything you require from me, personally, you need but ask and I will consider it.
-L. Adair
With that, the reply was sent. There was much in which he and the young bounty hunter did not see eye to eye, but if there was anything he understood, it was retribution, it was protecting your interests, and what was yours. He would have to meet with the remaining councilors sooner or later. Preferably one-on-one.
He went on to draw up another message, addressed to [member="Anders Sivas"], [member="Jared Ovmar"], [member="Lucien Cordel"], and [member="Sargon Vynea"] -
Gentlemen and Lady of the High Council -
I have received the resignation of Miss Kitt Solo, citing personal reasons. Should you have any questions or concerns, notify me. I would be amenable to meeting with any one of you, should you wish. We will convene in the near future, as it is needed.
-L. Adair.
Business concluded, he went back to his work for the evening, and that glass of wine.
