He knows nothing about Allison IC other than two small interactions, both of which were quite polite. Hireshmont right now has a perception of Brance as an unyielding, impolite Astroist radical determined to humiliate the Véinsørmoot, and Allison as more of a moderate, reasonable bureaucratic-sort.
Crap... we got our roles in the "good cop/bad cop" routine backward.
I the player know this is insane. Hireshmont the Chief Magistrate does not.
Allison has been quite well-behaved lately. Which is really out of character for her, especially since Maddening is currently Bright
and Superior. Maybe the fact that Austere and Auspicious are also bright as well is having a moderating influence. Although she
did decline to agree to the border treaty, she did not outright declare that she would kill Terran for taking Lavendrow.
