(Damnit.)

Lorenzo looked up at Jack, half worried and half enraged by the fact he was being held captive at swordpoint. "Whoah now. We're all friends here and... what in the name of Oblivion do you have on your back?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. Jack hadn't even realized he had been carrying the Elder Scroll and he grew redfaced, then slipped the Scroll off his back and set it on the table. Lorenzo reached forward to grab it but Jack leveled the sword to his throat once more. "One more move, Lorenzo, and your head will go to the hounds."

Lorenzo sat back, looking absolutely furious. Jack took the opportunity to explain what was going on, so he began his explanation of what was to happen. "So, Lorenzo. This war that you declared almost a week ago, we both know you're not serious about fighting against the Aldmeri Dominion. It was Novo who began calling the shots, wasn't it?" he asked. "None of your buisiness!" Lorenzo snapped, furious.

"Speaking of Novo, where is he?" Jack asked, looking about the room. "He's down at the Elven Gardens, checking patrols. What does it matter?" he replied. "In any news, Lorenzo, we have an Elder Scroll with us. If we tap into its power, we can turn this entire room to ashes. So here's the deal I'm going to make with you. Send word to Cosimo that men bearing an Elder Scroll have forced peace. Tell him that if he refuses, we shall come for him next. The White-Gold Concordat will be taken up once more. Am I clear, Lorenzo?"

The young Emperor thought for a moment, then turned to the other adventurers with a look of curiousity. "You are aware that this is high treason, yes? You will be imprisoned like the scum you are if I alert the guards, right?"

"We snuck past your guards once. We can do it again," Jack retorted. "And you? What do you all say? Do you really believe you can do this again if you want to? And do you really believe that this man will save you if you are captured?" Lorenzo asked, questioning the faith of the others instead.
