[Tony's counted up the ballots and finished up with lunch. He's still in the dining carriage looking relaxed and pleased with the news he's giving.]

Congratulations to the new Council Members!

Those voted in are Sarai, Lightning, Feanor, Manabu, Dread, and Ignis! Ash is going to be an alternate.

So if you have any issues you'd like us to address, please contact one of the members and they can bring it up at our first meeting.

Thanks!

I...didn't actually do anything!

[afterburner]

You...got named to the council? So you got voted for? So that means something, doesn't it?

[Is he trolling her? Because if so she 100% deserves it, but. She can't tell.]

[siriusly]

Well, I...guess so. But I mean, I didn't do anything to cause that. Everyone else did.

[afterburner]

That still means something, though. That people like you and are confident enough in your abilities that they want you in something important like this.

[She's quietly grateful that nobody would want her on the council.]

[siriusly]

...Yeah.

[just some responsibility made more solid by the will of other people. no big deal. he was going to impose it upon himself anyway!]

That's encouraging, at least. I'll work hard to make sure I don't let anyone down.

[afterburner]

Honestly, no trolling? I don't think you could, Manabu. [Srs Renee is serious.] But if you need me for anything, let me know. I'll do what I can, you know?

[siriusly]

[gawrsh.]

Haa... Yeah. Thanks, Renee.

[afterburner]

You're welcome. Just don't stress out too much, and don't forget about us little people now that you're in the big leagues!

[That might be a little troll-ey, but she winks. The former, at least, is an actual attempt at advice.]
