Edogawa entered alone. He approached one of the staff, and asked to speak with Jose. |

They looked at him weird, but someone went out of the parlour and return soon after with permission to escort Edogawa to the kitchens. Among the smell of broth, beer and pie Jose was sitting by the table, counting money. He raised his brow, not really surprised.  "It took you a while to seek me out, Senor. I thought you'd come over sooner." |

"I intended to, but there have been a few distractions." he explained. "I didn't want to be disruptive, either." |

"As opposed to everyone else you've brought here? How kind, my friend. How kind. Are there already some mad dogs after me? Or maybe it's you? You are Jama's shipbuilder after all." Jose kept grinning, through his gaze were anything but happy. "But I guess you've come here to tell me something either way. Sit, sit. Wine?" |

He sat down, nodding. "They were coming, with or without me. My hope was to repair what damage between us I could." |

Jose stopped counting money to pour for both of them, and gestured for Edogawa to pick up the glass himself as Pavo leaned back and put boots on the table, sipping slowly. "Then start repairing?" |

"How much privacy do we have?" he asked as he accepted the wine. |

"I am married to a woman who wouldn't show understanding, Senor!" Jose laughed for a good while. In the end, he just gestured around. "The staff is loyal to us, if this is enough." |

He nodded, savoring a sip of the wine. "I have the answers to her questions, but Jama would like to meet her, first." |

"Jama? Her?" There was a mixture of shock, trepidation and anger on his face that wiped smile off his face. "Why, the depths!" |

He looked around, then leaned in, lowering his voice. "Because, he wants to meet his sister." |

Jose's WTF face set in and wouldn't leave for a good while. "...You have to do some explaining, Senor, for I don't quite follow. Last time I checked she was considered a daughter of Ricardo Cornejo, just a Tortoise captain after Bregos took La Corna. Is Jama also a bastard of that Tortoise captain? You don't feel your Merenaese is failing you and you don't quite grasp what 'a sister' is?" |

"Did you hear of the incident yesterday? Of the old sailor who rushed up to the prince, thinking he was Don Ricardo?" he asked. "Katarina was told her father sailed west, wasn't she? He was called home to his mother. I tell you all of this, so that you can advise her properly. I cannot be certain of what Jama intends, but he said he doesn't wish her harm." |

"Mierda. Mierda. Mierda!" Jose jumped to his feet and started walking around the kitchen, striking walls with random utensils before he caught his head. "I need to think! This means... Santissima Kharsis de las Cosas Extrañas...!" He leaned over Edogawa with a feral gaze much akin the tiger out there. "Alvaro, who knows! Who knows!" |

"There was an incident on the mainland." he bowed his head. "I accidently said that the princes had a sister. Most will think it was nothing, that my mind was addled again. Those who know the Throne's secrets, however, may guess. As might those who knew of my friendship with Katarina or of what she was looking for in Dragon's Guard. For certain? My mother, Jama, Asahina Yajinden, and ourselves. Probably? Bellena Rosa de Quijano and Gusai Susumu." |

"That sounds like everybody." Jose slammed the table, looking nervously around in an attempt to collect his thoughts. "Is there a way to prove it, that she is what you claim she is?" |

"One of our priests may be able to verify it. It is why the Emperor keeps them at a distance and why they have fallen into disfavor." he explained. "Other than that, no. Without her father's direct acknowledgement, or one of her brother's, she has a much stronger claim to the Cornejo." |

"How so she can have weak claim to one and a stronger claim to the other? La Corna is Bregos' for forty years now." Jose was shaken. He took the bottle he had opened and started drinking until he drained it. A bit more drunk, he sat in silence and just stared at Edogawa. |

"Acknoledgement means more than blood in the Empire. Even those who believe she exist, see her as illegitimate. That's without even considering how traditionalists would view her." he explained. "However, there is likely a conflict coming between her brothers. That creates many possibilities." |

"I have an idea, Senor. I will just sit here and listen to all that you have to say on the subject. And when you are done, I'll know what to think. Because right now I have no fucking idea where this all could go. Or rather an idea how badly that can affect my family. And that makes me rather murderous." |
