Maillol isn't even slightly fooled by her hidden agenda, but it's not a hidden agenda which is detrimental to him so it's not like he disapproves.  "Sevar, I don't care what Keltham wants, I care how much we get out of him.  You don't just tell me what he asked for, any more, you tell me what happens if I say yes.  What's your estimated effect on him if we supply him with one lesser intelligence headband and one lesser Wisdom headband to pass around?  And if you think that's a good idea or bad idea for other reasons, don't make me ask you for your opinion.  You're in the command structure now.  Grow up.  Grow up very quickly."
