About time [Malleus]

"It's good to see you Malleus," she replied with a cordial dip of her head. He was quite prompt in his arrival which was much appreciated.

"Thank you," she began, shifting to a more comfortable position before continuing, "I suppose because of my ascent to the rank of Empress. I wanted to touch base and ensure we are both aware of the states of both Empires as well as make you aware of my current thoughts and plans for Eclipse. Have there been any recent developments with Risen or it's members?" Making sure she knew how the other Empire was doing as well as what they were up to was important. They could not cohesively work together if they weren't all aware of what the others were doing. Honestly she should have checked in at least once before now, but she hadn't gotten around to it.
