[ Nate actually looks up from his "cards" for this one, giving him an incredulous stare. Bits and pieces he picked up along the way, staunchly avoiding Guard-related drama when he could and only resorting to an association when he realized he needed to help where no one else could.

holy crap.
that is way more of a shitshow than i thought it was.
[Lance offers a small shrug at that state, because yeah, same.]
It was pretty bad. We're fortunate that at least the third in command of the Guard was trustworthy.
[It could've just kept going down the line, after all.]
You know Henry got mad when I refused to continuing counseling Maketh after she threw a knife at me? I mean, technically he was angry I never got back to him on what might convince me to keep working with her, but still pretty much the same thing. He also undermined anything I said that didn't agree with Maketh.
[Which, you know, is something that feels kind of familiar here, just changing some names around.]
[ He antes up because he's got the scratch to win a couple, lose a couple - Nate knows Lance will move onto tables with less experienced players eventually. Easy pickings. ]
isn't there like a "first step to solving the problem is admitting you have one" thing? kind of sounds like she wanted no part in that.
