…Huh. So Biedde was the guy who went and dragged Khione out of her city in this verse? Weird, I could have sworn that the implication in canon was it being the Colonel himself, though I guess sending a Name to deal with a Name makes sense too. Also now I'm wondering if Khione might have been Neighnia here.
…Dammit, this entire scene feels like I'm watching an old married couple, even if there's definitely no romance there. Still; I love these words in particular.
…Okay, seriously. Why is Silky Name bait? Because Biedde just immediately going "nah, I'm claiming this one" is ridiculous. Especially since it seems to be implied that his Dyad is the person who would care, and he felt the need to claim her first.
On the one hand, I feel kind of sorry for Steppes having to wonder what in the actual fuck his niece is up to. On the other, this is, again, absolutely hilarious. Also very interesting that Biedde bothered to go all the way to Manehatten just to ask Steppes about his new boss.
Well… she's pretty safe now that he's here.
Hey, he's only got Moth 3. Be glad he's not like Marinette or Baldomare, or you wouldn't even be able to tell that much.
That's an interesting way to put it, "cleaning up". Makes me wonder how often Biedde has just wiped out entire criminal organizations because he was ordered to.
Does this bring you joy? sure, it's a neat little thing in the moment but when you stop to look theres nothing there to enjoy.
…Man, I am really looking forward to that Steppes action when it comes around. Because while he may not really know what just happened or why, it's not the sort of thing you can just… shrug off. Maybe if Steppes were the only person affected, but his entire organization just spent the day convinced they were going to die? Because his niece somehow and for some reason decided to hire the super murderiest pony in existence, and the only reason they're not dead is that she spoke well of him?
Sharp.
A Name of the Colonel is visiting a criminal. In almost any other instance, there's only one real way that can end.
Would she be less terrifying? I mean, yes, her combat score is technically less, but a maximum influence is actually, technically speaking, a Level 7+ effect. And that's on top of her own levels. Biedde is a Name, but even here he wasn't really putting on as much of a show as he could have.
I think you're misunderstanding. Biedde said he wasn't going to kill them, and that building-wide sense of doom is seemingly the result of his "Terrifying Opponent" trait when he's not actively masking it (like he seemingly is at the manor).
…Bro, that's only a way to get him to stay longer.
We can't just toss him at it randomly.
Steppes asked two questions.
Biedde was answering the first. Which, admittedly, is a double negative, and should mean he's going to die, but that's probably just linguistic quibbling, or just Biedde assuming what Steppes was really asking is if he's going to die. English isn't Bird's first language IIRC.
It's a usual problem when you ask two questions that can have conflicting questions.
Ah my apologies. Also good to know.

Velvet: Wait, so you guard my family automatically?
Literally this. He can run his own private cult/army and start conquering neighboring countries for all I care.
Speak for yourself. If I had to choose and Edge Hour, I would probably back the Lionsmith.We Stan for the Colonel in this household
Do we get this action back Bird? Or do we simply double up on guards this turn?
