[attr="class","wownewtag"] Raziel Beckett annalise henderson Laurence Anderson Julia Davis

[attr="class","wownewmain"]Guillermo fixes Laurence Anderson in the most pained look he could possibly give him.

“Laurence.” He swallows hard. “With all due respect. Look at the state of the world and ask me that question again.” He’s smiling, but it’s callow and thin, like it hurts to do so.

He leans back and at least has a pleasant expression when Julia Davis gives him a hello. “Good to see you, Jules,” he says, and for her, his grin is genuine.

Razz gets up and announces that annalise henderson is stepping down, and he will be taking her place. Memo cranes his neck to look at Anna where she’s standing and talking to someone. He wants to ask if she’s okay but knows that her response would be different here in a crowd as opposed to one on one, so he files that away for later.

He gives a couple of soft claps for Razz’s promotion, wondering with a twinge of guilt if he’ll last longer than Anna did. Or make a bigger impact.

He thinks of the Rift roiling in Fortree’s gut like a fucking stomach wound and his hands curl into fists on the tabletop. A number of cries go up around him, debating whether Razz is right for the job, and Memo tunes them all out, forcing himself to exhale and keep himself grounded.

Laurence Anderson isn’t the only one that notices the Slateport rangers have suddenly gone very quiet. It’s… bittersweet. Yes, he had found them annoying, especially when they, essentially, told him to get fucked (they hadn’t used those words but that was what he had taken away from it, okay), but it was nice to see a united front of Rangers so like a family, a squad.

Bittersweet.

It wasn’t his place to say anything, though.

Lars calls on Razz for confirmation that he wasn’t going to leak anything to Silph, which Memo had to agree, was a pretty big concern. He wasn’t entirely supportive of Kingsman’s promotion, given that much of what Razz had done had been pre-Memo-in-Hoenn, first of all, and secondly, because he just admitted Silph had, what, a special place in his heart, or some shit.

“I agree, I also have some concerns about the new co-Head Ranger’s objectivity,” he said, finding his voice for the first time since the meeting had gotten started. At the last Ranger Conclave, his opinions had been completely bulldozed over, and he’d just been force to tuck and roll with the punches.

He expected little more from this one, but at least he’d stated his opinion.
