[He can't help but be amused. Which means he's gonna double down on pressing her about her alleged history degree.]

Or did Accordo hold more power than the Empire realized, and it was this man's fault for failing to hold enough information?
[wow aranea. look it's ACTUALLY COMPLETELY FASCINATING!!! The cause and effect and negotiations involved and the far-reaching impact to every member of the populace over time and--]

And his questions are boring her. By the time she's read the end of his latest response, she's already forgotten the beginning of it. ]
