63. Board Meetings during battles

by Lady Leticia Scarlet-Bloesembhel Voetdhel-Montaneus

She was in another board meeting.... Nita and Muse ran off to do something, seemed important but Scarlet's worry today was the meeting with all her branches. The heads of each branch have traveled from their respected countries to see her... Well they expected to speak to her Mentor but she was a bird right now who was arguing with a snake who kept changing his 'snake form' which made the bird in question argue more fervently. So she was the head of the meeting.

It was funny in a way, there were more 'people' from her home than she expected. They of course were in animal form. As a joke she would randomly bring up their squawks, barks, or blinks as topic questions and would 'reiterate their question's' for the non-animal speakers (which were many) in the house. The meeting was a blazing ZOO. But she was fairly certain she had addressed all the main points. For the most part the meeting went as she expected....

Until one of the 'problem branches' decided to test the waters and was promptly stared down by a super angry pigeon and a few elementals. Holding her hand up she had to inform the group, "Ah, you see most of my family are druids... and there are a lot of Arch Druids here. Could you please re-state your question?" I'm sure they'll be happy to answer since most of them have talking mouths. He was unexpectedly silent, which was a shame because she really wanted to see what her Aunt, Sniffles, and Sniffle's adventuring pal (#who keeps trying to talk her out of being the head of security #and open a restaurant #but that's only because he wants to eat her food #and she's so done with his shit #he still owes her money) would do. Instead she pushed the new 'honesty' program forward and his branch would be the testing ground. Hurray! He's going to have so much fun when he gets back home and sees the whole office structure rearranged. She idly wondered when he'd loose his shit, would it be before he realized she had access to his books and knew exactly how he cooked them or would he flip his lid when he realized that he's been stripped of all his power? Either way she was looking forward to THAT report.

Heading a multi-national trading company with branches in several major countries was difficult. She hated this job and if it wasn't for the simple fact that she had to prove that she was a competent enough heir for her siblings sake she wouldn't have bothered. Once the meeting adjourned, she kept them there for a few more days as she updated them on the new goods or products that would be coming their way. They also talked about changes to tariffs, troubles with the shipping lanes they used to get the goods around and other miscellaneous issues that came up. After everything was said and done, several days later she finally made her way home.

The house was still in tact, which she took as a good sign. There was no sign of breakage or dirt. The boys were keeping to their agreement. She also spotted several broken down boxes where their daily deliveries would come in. The merchants she worked with were also doing their job. Heading to her room she tried going to bed but it was full of imps and dogs. Instead she quietly grabbed a nightgown, went into her bathroom and got ready. Down the the office area there was a very nice couch with a few toys on them. She placed them on the coffee table nearby and laid down. For now she'd rest. She wanted to know if her Aunt, (second) mother, and her mother's college friend were in the town house she had here... But she also didn't want to know. Sniffles she could happily live with. The other two... well a weekend with them was enough.

Writing in her journal she added todays date and the following (this time in primordial instead of druid): Meeting went well. Data points have been talked over. Am looking forward to the fallout. I wish there was an invention that could record that asshole's reaction. I would love to see it.
