Vyschuss: I fot you faid dere waff one uv 'em—
Jinjur: She has a sister. The sister, I think we could work with. She seems to have a head on her shoulders, and would like to keep it there. She understands the importance of being deferential. The other one, though... either she has a death wish, or she really is Songween's offspring.

Vyschuss: If she iffz...
Jinjur: She isn't. She may believe she is, but we must ensure that no one else believes her claims. Songween was ready to declare her Heir until I reminded her that the Council has to approve her choice; we must make certain that doesn't happen!
