Halen: I know I said I wouldn't PRY but ... what IS it with you and Lady Vilolet? Why do you hate her SO MUCH? And why do we WORK with her if we cannot trust her?
---
Halen: I ... I just want to UNDERSTAND, Gregor. I am not just your Seneshal but also your FRIEND. Please help me understand. I just want to SUPPORT you.
---
Master Peck: Halen ... I love you. But you have to TRUST me. Right now we cannot trust ANYONE from the council. Not while Lady Violet has them in her pocket.

Master Peck: <lays a hand on his desk> But we also have to play along with her in this whole thing. For now.
Halen: But ... WHY?
Master Peck: Because we have NO CHOICE.
---
Halen: <thinking> ... why did he touch his desk when he said that?
Halen: But ... what is that supposed to MEAN?
Master Peck: Enough of this now, Halen. We BOTH have enough work to do.

Halen: <thinking> Is he HIDING something in ther?
Halen: Does she have something against you in her hands? Is she BLACKMAILING you?!
Master Peck: I said ENOUGH! I am DONE talking about this! Now GET OUT OF MY OFFICE, Halen! NOW!!
