Guillaume isn't bending over deep enough yet. Maybe he just really has to abandon his cause in Enweil, so the next guy can bend over!
Working on it.
But seriously, what do you expect the next guy to do, if I leave? Ever had an interesting exchange with Handkor? I don't remember the last time he RPed, and I don't really know him to be the most inspiring or surprising character around. I can't think of any other potential contender brewing up a good interaction, either.
Unless you want a dull and unimaginative exchange, you'd be better off dealing with Guillaume, at least for the duration of the talks.
