"You should have probably led with that." Loren's tone was much more reasonable now. However, his eyes still narrowed slightly.
"What does it matter if the ban is official or unofficial? It's still a ban against a member of Halo's ruling party being enforced by Torchline's ruling party for reasons that are personal, is it not?" Giving Sunjata an unamused look, the healer shook his head. "And as such, requires a proportionate response. As you already noted, Remi and Ronin have no business in Halo. Which leaves you, my friend."
His nostrils flared a bit. "I appreciate your concern, but I can protect myself." Leaning back in his chair, he crossed his arms. "Fine then. As long as this unofficial ban stands, then you are similarly unofficially banned from Halo. If you are caught, I will personally escort you back to the border."
Sighing, he shook his head slightly. "I don't want to do this, but you're in politics now, and if you weren't prepared for the consequences that might arise from your new position and your government's policies, you shouldn't have volunteered." Tone brisk, he lowered his arms. "Considering that the borders are closed for Deepfrost, you'll have that time you requested to talk Remi out of this course of action." He raised an eyebrow. "This is nonnegotiable, by the way."
