Working for the new boss, same as the old boss
The appointment had been made remarkably quickly, as politics go. Vincent, accompanied by Kristoff and carrying several folders in a briefcase, arrived at the Genoshan Consulate.

"Vincent Vernard, Junior Ambassador for Latveria, to see Andrew Summers."

That Night

Andrew will sense a presence not his own slip into his dreams, another presence becoming palpable.

"Mister Summers, please pardon the intrusive nature of this appearance, but I needed to ensure that we could speak privately. My father's means of observation are many, but to let his sentience coexist peacefully with another's subconscious is not in his nature." Vincent appears, dressed casually.

	Definitely odd, but Andrew is nothing if not adaptable. "I see... go on, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm not going to bore you with speaking too formally this time. I was an idiot to act in good faith when it was for him. He can't change. I won't make any presumptions about how your grandfather responded to the 'gift', but I fully agree that the method of delivery was unconscionable."

Vincent slouches a bit, then focuses his will to fashion a seat out of the ether. A bit of extra focus creates one for Andrew as well.

"I already told you that there are people so much more qualified than me that should have been in my position, but I'm what he's decided to employ.

So I've decided to start playing my own game, and I'd like your help. We both want what's best for.." He can't quite say 'our countries' "..Genosha and Latveria, but we both stand to be hamstrung by people who can't think in terms of compromise instead of an iron fist."

The euphemism of choice is perhaps a bit on the nose for the two elders in question, but it's the best he can come up with when trying to speak candidly.

	"Whatever the circumstances, I'm here at Magneto's allowance. I won't attempt to work around him - as that could compromise everything we're building for the future... but I'm willing to attempt compromise and see if I can re-frame things for him, as I've done in the past. What did you have in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I... I don't know." Vincent admits, shrugging. "I'm game for anything you have in mind, but the sad truth of it is that I don't know anything about politics besides a lay person's following of the news.

I just want to do my part to make sure Latveria doesn't implode when he finally leaves the mortal coil. If the best way to accomplish that is integrating them into the world stage, then that's what I want.

I just don't know how exactly to make that happen."

"Doing things politically going under the nose of an absolute dictator is difficult, its true. Nonetheless... I appreciate the apology, and will see what we can do. Since trade is not his strong point, working with Symkaria, we might be able to work out a beneficial arrangement of purely domestic products... benefit the people, rather than the military. Keep technology and the like out of it - and prove to the world both nations can do things on a purely domestic front."

	Vincent nods. "Thank you... Andrew. I'm at your disposal if there's anything you want to try to work at. I... am familiar with how to phrase things to Latverians in order to get things done." He clears his throat. "Generally, acting as if you could grind everyone else in the room beneath your heel helps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which is precisely one of the reasons we need to be cautious about anything we do. But as a place to start, trying to better the lives of the people without a hidden agenda can't hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)
