(It took him a split second to remember Keltham expected the lower-ranked person to speak first, and cross that with the Chosen being beneath him in alter-Cheliax.  But Maillol did remember in time to speak in the correct realAsmodian order, which is also the correct alterCheliax ordering.)

"I'd mostly say things are proceeding as they should."

"Except for a slight concern about how this makes two of them."

"Asmodia first, though that was seemingly very different in nature.  Then Tallandria, who plausibly could have looked like a stable candidate up until this point, and than cracked for the first time when she was under more pressure than ever before."

"Neither case by itself would worry me the way the two do side-by-side."

"I am having Tallandria privately go through a light Security screening, to truthspell her about whether she's said everything she knows to be relevant.  But if there's nothing in there that Security decides we need to know, they don't tell us."

"My understanding is that Tallandria has had relatively little Law exposure.  And I do think there's a tendency for more talented wizards to be a little less stable, sometimes, in Golarion.  The state did send us quite the assortment of interesting people."

"I only ordered the screening because - how did you put it?  'Why trust what you can verify?'  I have made it clear to Security that any previously undisclosed involvement of Law-based reasoning in Tallandria's breakdown is something we need to know about."
