"She is many possible people. The ones who are on our side take it, I think. I think I should not need to say, but say regardless, that you must not tell Lord Dispater you have agreed to anything until there is a written compact to be inspected."
(That this hypothetical Sevar would rapidly cease to be recognized by Hell as a Power if she tried to build Axis in the midst of Hell is obvious. That this hypothetical Sevar would, as a Power of Hell, have changed much in Her intentions and think little of all who came before Her without sufficient ilanism to be formed into her envisioned army of finer devils, likewise obvious. If the plotting Sevar did not know it, more fool she.)
"The government of Cheliax does request and require that you only buy options on those Security and on Maillol, this day. To be exercised at some trivial price, perhaps, so that the option's price is nearly the soul's full value, but exercisable only with the consent of Cheliax's Church and Cheliax's Crown. It is not yet evidently in our interest that you own those Security's souls. Your true self did say that she wished the souls of every Security who'd read her mind, for her vanity's sake, and some of those serve in the Imperial palace and guard Abrogail Thrune's own person."
(Aspexia Rugatonn is carefully phrasing this so that it does not preclude the possibility of Carissa Sevar taking the throne and then granting herself the Crown's permission to buy up the Securities who put her there by killing Abrogail. If that is the plotting Carissa Sevar's plot, Aspexia Rugatonn shall not interfere there one way or another so long as she doesn't offend the Church.)
