[ The look back up at her is a little sharp along the lines of his not appreciating her attempted correction. ]
As you say, we operate beyond external oversight. That to some, this is concerning. In your reporting [ a conscious repetition ] have you offered them anything to given reason to concern?
Thank you for the clarification. I haven't, that I am aware of, given any particular critique. I have reported my observations: the leaders of Riftwatch are interested in doing a kind of good particular to this organization. Its members are interested in the same. There is, sometimes, disharmony, but generally a path is found with this joint interest in mind. Methods often employed by its members might not follow tradition or expectations, for good or for ill in equal parts. I have reported that the embracing of certain people who might otherwise be ostracized or cast off from other organizations is, generally, a strength of this organization. I have reported that a lack of funding creates challenges that are sometimes insurmountable, and work against Riftwatch's efforts. I have reported a lack of respect that can create similar challenges.
I may have made other comments in passing, but I believe that to be an accurate account. Occasionally Seeker Albright and Lord Seeker Marchand write for additional information or further opinions and I provide them when requested.
[ She speaks at some length and Marcus listens attentively, but his pen doesn't touch the parchment. Likely, most of this can be summarised succinctly, and as her words wrap up, a short note is written down. ]
Are they any members of Riftwatch you've made special note of, in your reporting?
[ —he can do this all day, and will, questions that attempt to box her answers into concrete details he can mark his page down, sifting through generalities for specifics. ]
[So you can make special note that I've made special note? is a light-hearted remark that Tiffany does not say, mostly because she would mean it as a joke, and she is fairly certain that Marcus Rowantree will never laugh at a joke that she's told. She isn't so insane to think that he never laughs at all. He would, probably, laugh (or at least smile) at a joke told by someone that he likes.]
The Rifters. They're of particular interest to anyone. I continue to feel obligated to mention them, both when they're newly arrived and when--if--they leave. And I've made special note of the Division Heads, and the former Templars who have joined Riftwatch.
