Ah, that. Well - "I can relate a little too much to that. Hadama - the King of the Mer - has been leading Torchline in the interim, but I haven't stepped up myself for the same reasons. It can be hard even when you're already in government to think yourself capable of it." For him it's perhaps an issue of being too humble, but he has led so many times before in a world where it only ever meant barely holding the line. Seeing people fall, feeling the guilt and weight even when he hadn't been in the field, wondering if a different leader could have prevented it.
"Well, like I said it's a bit tough right now with Maeve having stepped down. She's...well, was my fiancee. She's been missing three seasons now, so I'm a bit too close to the issue to be impartial." Leaning more towards the side of oversharing than political neutrality. "But crime hasn't spiked, Hadama is well-received as interim ruler...they're as good as they can be I suppose."
