To keep them out of the way for their own good? Or because it bothers you too much? [a quirked eyebrow] What is Miss Ardes' connection to you?

I'm not sure I know enough about the workings of this world to really say! [assuming it wouldn't be bad practice to talk about tricks of the trade, anyway…] Some sleight of hand, perhaps? Or maybe misdirection.

[softer, but still so the Mayor will hear] Maybe you should take some time away from this project to spend with her. She's your daughter, after all. If she got into trouble, you'd want to be there to help her, too, right?
