While you wait... for extraction from an assassination location...?

Last year you wrote about dragons and unicorns at this time, and I had been infrequently visiting Rayban and Juliette, so let's pay them a quick visit.

While we wait
The Emperor was sat in a palanquin atop a triceratops, one of several dinosaurs he'd had genetically recreated and then populated into the Winterschloss's gardens.
"They're releasing the second wave of prisoners," he slurred, his slack lips and frog-like jaw making it hard for him to form words properly. "While we wait I'd like to thank you all for coming, and remind you that Imperial Amnesty day will be in two months time, where I'm looking forward to hunting some of you gathered here today."
Rayban sighed and adjusted his outfit to show off a little more muscular, tanned flesh and hoped like hell that the Emperor still preferred to look and not touch.

Greg - ah yes, that post. Thanks for the reminder :)

I am impressed by the recreated triceratops. That feels like something I would do in that position :D
