Emet-Selch does have a point that lies can be useful. He isn't sure what kind of lies Emet-Selch believes he can get out of her, but before he can ask, Vaeka's response blasts through the air between them.
"I don't exert any more energy than I'm absolutely ordered to do for someone who is weak like you. I only care about fighting the strong. Even bothering with people like you takes time I just don't have to spare. Thi as, as you've already pointed out as us being lapdogs is an order."
Still, her protest is kind of interesting. Probably.
"Yeah? Who's taking us down with the Regent? Definitely not you and your resistance pals... so it must be your aion allies? How about this Reign of Terror, though? Why don't you tell us about this Regent you and the Resistance see that we lapdogs haven't been able to yet?"
Bringing one gloved palm down flat against the table, he leans in, supposedly interested to hear what she has to say (it's hard to tell when his mask is obscuring his face, and their distance is too far to get a glimpse of if he's got a smile or a scowl on his mouth through it.)
"What're they doing that you hate so much? I'm guessing you all had some kind of government or leader before the Regent and the takeover was less than ideal, but what about right now now that they're in control? Are they murdering orphaned children wanting food? Killing clergy members that don't speak out against them but also don't worship them in any manner? Murdering elders because they're a burden on society once they're too old to contribute while stealing money from them in the form of taxes? Kicking puppies? Come on, tell us what the real deal is here if you need to run to your mouth instead of barking threats little kids hurl at each other during a snowball fight!"
