It wasn't through the job. [ A slight hesitation - ] My cousin Dono was up against Richars for the Vorrutyer countship. Dono was entitled to it by right of birth and by dint of his superior experience and competence. But he had to be confirmed by the Council of Counts, a squabble in which the Emperor - and ImpSec - was officially neutral. The Council was going to vote for Richars rather than Dono, so I decided to put my hand in on my own private time, which I think I had every right to do, being as I was a very interested party. And, yes, I did draw on some of my ImpSec resources to do so, but it's not as though I was pilfering the petty cash. But I still got in trouble for it, because things are so dreadfully unfair.
[ A theatrical pout. His foppish persona is still there, if perhaps a bit subdued compared to his usual clownishness. Non-murderous-non-magical-charming-and-witty-clownishness. ]
