[align=center][div style="width:400px; text-align:justify; font-family:times new roman"]It isn't the nation's petty quarrel turned bad breakup that has Elise worried. The politics and the motives and all that jazz, the things pulling the strings behind all of this could not matter less to Elise. She's here for the ride, whatever that may entail, and this is no more than just a smudge of dirt on her collar. It's an inconvenience at best, and an obstacle at worst. Not that she has any grand scheme planned; she does have a vague, utterly ridiculous goal chock-full of ambition, but it's all just stupid dreams retained from her childhood. It's things like wanting to rule the world, wanting a unicorn, wanting to be a princess—nothing specific, really, and most definitely unrealistic, but still lingering in the back of her mind.
Out of the curious characters making up the crowd, Elise could be considered the least likely to be one of the horrible people Frederick mentions. She might have her skills in the art of deception, but espionage is just too far out of her league, and assassination is too messy for her liking. She doesn't care enough to serve any rebellion. It's too much work! But she doesn't mind having to work, and if she's honest the thought of being rewarded for all that work in the form of having a high rank to lord over everyone else is a thought Elise likes. And, unfortunately, she has nothing to add to this conversation, but she does have to agree with Mordecai over there. "How are we going to find these spies?" Elise asks. "How do you suggest we weed them out?" The best course of action seemed to be diligent surveillance, however she can imagine nobody wants to be watched so closely like that.
