[OoC: Best laid plans.
]You have noticed he does seem interested in where you come from. Kee senses most keenly that the Magistrate's interest is more than just a passing curiosity and he might be interested in something in particular. All of you suspect that he might be more sympathetic to your situation than he's letting on.
"Clemency?" The Magistrate asks while arching a single brow. "Clemency for this type of crime would be difficult to grant. It would require me to call in personal favors and place myself in the uncomfortable position of owing some favors of my own. I'm not sure if what you're offering is of any value to me personally."
Just then a ruddy skinned gentleman who's also wearing fine Gothic style garb steps into view from behind the Magistrate and whispers into his ear. He then steps back out of view but when he does his eyes briefly fall over you and you all get this unsettling, stepping over your grave, feeling.
You sense a subtle and uncomfortable shift in the atmosphere of the room. The Magistrate seems to notice it as well as he loosens his collar and tugs on the lapels to adjust the fit of his jacket.
"But there may be someone of importance who MIGHT be interested," he finally states. "Would you like to meet him before I conclude this hearing."
