...that is so damn pretentious I love it. But I think the idea behind [@Overlord Thraka]'s edit was that we could do the auction for Clarimonde and Afia before the attack took place, then leave the square and have a merry time as the bells and whistles went off behind us. That being said, if you don't wanna do that I'm willing to work with you for the pre-order thing, though I feel like the Emperor would want ALL of the ex-nobles to at least be displayed for the shame factor of the auction. Unless I'm just reading too much into things.

...additionally, Aifa could potentially leave a servant behind to bring news and "place her order" if/when things calm down. Just spitballing
