Help Terrence.

Terrence might be a slimeball, but he's definitely someone you don't want to have any excuses to get in your way.

Getting up, you manage to convince Dominique to talk with you privately. "Dominique," you start, with a low rumbling in your voice. A small but constant pressure builds from behind your eyes and you channel that directly into Dominique's. "I just wanted to thank you for your hospitality and to let you know that your city is beautiful."

She doesn't respond in the way you were expecting. Her lips curl into a smile, but her eyes seem dull and faded. She begins to sway slightly. "It's no trouble," she replies, her words coming in slowly, like she's trying not to fall asleep. "You should have come in the winter. It's so much prettier then."

"I'm sure that my team and I would love to come back then," you say, still in that smooth, steady tone, never breaking eye contact with her. "But that would all depend on how happy our higher ups are, doesn't it?" Dominique slowly nods. "What a shame it would be, if Terrence didn't have a good time here, wouldn't it?"

"But that's why we got you the guides," she murmurs, lifting her hand to point at Venus. "Are they not doing their jobs?"

"Mine is," you smile. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch Venus wink at you before going back to talking with Agathe. "But I think Terrence would much rather prefer someone from your company show him a few things."

Dominique's fogged over eyes blink slowly. "Oh. I see. I'll have Agathe -"

"No, no, no. That won't do at all. She doesn't have enough experience yet, does she? Maybe you should handle this yourself."

"Maybe I should."

The door buzzes and Terrence and Gus come back through. The pressure behind your eyes stops, and Dominique blinks rapidly and shakes her head. "I'm glad we could have this talk, Dominique," you nod, "I really do hope that we get a chance to come back here."

As you walk away from the dazed woman, Djal comes to stand next to you, clapping softly. "Well done. Now, which one will be your target?" You look at him in surprise and he just raises an eyebrow at you. "What? Did you think that you wouldn't have multiple targets?"
