I have as many freedoms as the position of Consul will grant me.

[ Which is... a lot, in some respects, but not much in others. He has quite a bit of freedom when it comes to knowledge and leverage, but getting out, having adventures, developing friendly relationships with others? Not so much.

Of course, that's what Sparkling is asking, and he knows it. So, with a soft sigh, he sets down his finger sandwich on his leg and closes his eyes. ]

I'm afraid I don't have much time to go out on adventures myself. But here, I am not as restricted, so I am trying to change that. Though, I may have gone a little overboard recently...

[ A soft laugh, and a glance to his pinned-up sleeve, covered by his cape. ]
