Sorry, I didn't mean to sound too critical: I just don't think in the interest of pacing there is a reason for my character at least to say much. Advanced RP stipulates long posts, and I don't think it is enough time or materiel for my character to make a post worthwhile.

I also know that those the Emperor was talking to have not responded, and that post, though unclear, was meant as a reaction to Hector. The idea was that he might want to just wait it out, before starting meaningful interaction, though obviously that is up to him, and he knows his character better than me. Once again, sorry, I didn't mean to sound critical.
