Ume: Y-you. Do you really think telling me that will help your case at all? If anything now I have more reason to not cut you a deal.

Valerian: You’ve done the investigation. You should already know, I may be the man behind the curtain, but I’m not the one who pulls the trigger. I assure you, if you want to keep Altair and Provence safe like you claim, you’ll want to know who they are.

Ume: Then tell me, who are they?

Valerian: Does the name Sirius Blossite mean anything to you?

Ume: Sirius… like the Sirius that Altair is supposed to marry tomorrow?

Valerian: You better hurry then.

[door slams]

Valerian: [leans back in chair] That was easier than I thought it would be.
