[OTA] Time to Breathe
He'd called Carmella into his office earlier, and told her that he and Eileen had chosen her to be Queen of the Clubs, and then after dropping that news on her - it wasn't exactly a bombshell since the Nine had expressed interest - asked her to sit down and talk to him about candidates for Jack of Clubs. The list had still been long, after all; Sebastian Ambrosi was a decent candidate, in Elisha's eyes, and despite his reservations, Pierre Chareut had been nominally on the list, still, though he was glad that Carmella ultimately agreed with him that it wouldn't be a good choice. Then there had been some of the Nines, and a few of the Eights.
Ultimately, they agreed on one person: Elani McCartney. She was young for the job, maybe, but she'd done a lot of growing up in the last year - and she represented the classic traditions of the Clubs, and that was important.
He'd sent a message to her to come see him, but in the meantime he was in his office. Leaning back in his chair and solving the little game Victor had brought him from Prague.
