(Joint post with Lauchenoiria)
Office of the President of Kerlile, Grapevale
Immediately after Council meeting
“Thank you again, Lia,” President Arnott said, hanging up the phone. Once she was sure the call was disconnected, she laughed and spun around on her chair in celebration. She hadn’t expected the Council to agree: this was a pleasant surprise.
“Ellie, can you get Christine Belle of Greater Acadia on the line?” she instructed once she’d composed herself. Then she tapped her fingers in a joyful tune on her desk as she waited for the call to be connected.
Belle perked up slightly when her office phone rang. Putting down the set of documents she’d been going over, she quickly answered.
“Hello?” She asked.
“Ma’am, President Arnott of Kerlile wishes to speak with you.” The tech on the other end stated.
Belle took a minute to steel herself. This was either going to be good news, or it would be business as usual. She really, really hoped it was the former.
“Put her through.” She finally ordered. There was a quick tone on the line as her call was connected.
“Director, Christine Belle.” She answered as the line connected.
“Good morning, Vice-Minister,” Rebecca Arnott said cheerily. “I hope I didn’t interrupt anything important?”
Christine took a quick look at her documents. They were regarding the current developments regarding Eïkangärd’s increasingly hostile actions towards the Brother Nations. Important, but not immediately pressing.
“No you haven’t, Madam President. I trust things are progressing well on your end?” She responded with equal cheer.
“Yes, indeed they are! I have excellent news for you: the Council of Kerlile have agreed to your proposal regarding our taking a non-aggressive stance towards our neighbours. We are willing to give you guarantees on the matter, in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.”
Belle had to repress the urge to jump up and dance at that news.
“That’s wonderful news! I’ll be sure to put forward the motion to Parliament right away!” Belle replied, managing to keep a lid on her excitement. “We should have the resolution passed within the next week. Would that be agreeable to you?”
“Of course, that would be fantastic,” Arnott grinned. “I’m delighted that we are taking this opportunity to improve our relations and move into the future together.”
“As am I, Madam President. I do hope that we can put this whole missile business behind us.” Belle agreed, leaning back in her chair.
“Indeed,” Arnott nodded. “Let us put our differences in the past, and move forward to brighter times.”
“Yes, absolutely.” Belle stated, an excited smile spreading across her face. “It was a pleasure speaking to you, President Arnott. I hope you have a pleasant day.”
“You too, Vice-Minister Belle,” Arnott said, leaning back on her chair with a smile on her face also.
