[...Hm. In retrospect, Yuan wouldn't be surprised. The Pope is the previous king's bastard, after all. He'd have expected any assassination attempts to wait for Zelos to have a little more political sway, but perhaps if the Pope is trying to remove a threat before it happens...]
[Zelos is still part of the mana lineage. The Pope must be feeling precarious.]
[Yuan was trying not to get too involved in Meltokio politics, but he won't be having Zelos assassinated. That would destabilize everything here, if not farther out.]
[And he would miss Zelos.]
[Evidently it's time to start teaching Zelos about political intrigue. Yuan nods to the chair, and himself leans against his desk, arms folded.]
Hm. What makes you think that specifically?
[He doesn't question the assumption. Doesn't question Zelos's assessment. He's just asking for details, right now.]
