Eliz sunk in her chair with a groan of desperation. She simply couldn't believe how much trivial and mundane things the council had to deal with. And now she couldn't believe how no one immediately went to the simple and obvious solution. "And here we go again with this inane horse shit." She swept her hand in the air. "Aifric tried to murder her husband and she even has the sword in her hand at this very moment to prove it. She isn't even denying it... Make her a thrall for her crime and be done with it!"

Then of course, there was the matter of adultery. She didn't care about that at all, as she herself had, as people often used to insult her, never been involved in a marital relationship despite being 23 and didn't intend on having one in any foreseeable future. No, there was only one thing that annoyed her in this little situation. "As for Fintan, he still cheated on his wife... with a Gearalti clanswoman. My coins are on her being a stinkin' spy, and him being a bloody idiot for not being able to control his genitals just to breed with a stranger." She crossed her arms. "I say give the bastard for me to command in an expedition eastward as a punishment, it'll keep him away from his lovers and hopefully end that relationship with the stranger in the process."

Arguably it would be the duty of any clansman to join an expedition if they had to, Gallocmen would in fact be the most suited for the work, but Eliz knew them. In an exploration mission there were as much if not more dangers than any expedition outside the clan's territory but with the reward only being intangible knowledge rather than any material goods, which was why people had a hard time being motivated for the enterprise, and why Eliz wanted to conscript whatever competent person she could get her hands on for this. She knew she was ugly as sin, so whatever womanizing habit Fintan had wouldn't matter in this expedition.

In her mind her plan was the best, but she doubted people would easily be swayed by her words. Her time sitting on the council had pretty much being her constantly coming head to head with other council members on every issue that mattered, which was why she was thinking up new and creative ways to tell Dunlad that she'd make her shove all the extra vegetables they'd have where the shine never shines if he had his ways and got everyone that could tilt the soil to do so to plant crops. She wasn't an idiot, she knew it was important, but it annoyed her to no end that everyone thought it was all that mattered, especially considering how fertile the lands they had settled in were... and how fertile the lands settled by other nearby tribes were.

Hopefully it wouldn't come to that and everyone would just accept that since the gods said it was time to explore, then it was time to shut up and let her do her thing. Who, after all, could possibly be better suited for it? And, who could possibly prevent her from doing so if they refused...
