Eames ducks his head in silent amusement, considering the question for a moment. Judging where Finnick is best placed, it's tough considering the contempt all of them hold for the fae. But Finnick's a people person, or at least he pretends to be one convincingly enough, he can make it work.

"Diphylleia," Eames answers, "I think you'll be able to tug on her heartstrings better than me."

The name sounds familiar. He knows she's on the Night Council, at least, but he never pays much attention to what people do unless it's relevant to him at the time.

"She's a witch, right?" he asks, trying to look for more information without outright asking for it.

Eames nods as confirmation, "former Vice President, currently sitting in the former vampire seat as treasurer." He leans back, frowning a little in thought, "I don't know her personal feelings on us, but it's probably safe to assume they're not positive."

"I can make her feel positively enough about me," Finnick says with a shrug. "Is there anything specific we want from her or do I have the nearly impossible task of changing her entire opinion on the fae?"

He shakes his head, leaning forward to reach for his drink with a soft sigh, "you don't need to change her opinion on us." That's a mammoth feat neither of them is going to accomplish, "play her sympathies-- make her question the oligarchy."

[thelittlemerman]

He narrows his eyes at Eames across the table, idly swirling his drink. "Do you think that'll be enough? For it to matter when the time comes?"

"It's gonna have to be," Eames shrugs a shoulder and sighs heavily, "all else fails, we could try blackmail, but I'd much rather be as legitimate as possible."

Finnick looks out at the club as if he's thinking that their surroundings tell a different story. He understands the idea, though. Blackmail leaves a trail whether you want it to or not. Simply charming a member of the council isn't against any laws.

"I'll do what I can," he says at last. "How should we set this up?"

[falsify]

"I could look into her favourite kind of food, book a table for the two of you in the city-- It's as close to neutral territory as we're going to get." He floats it as a suggestion, rather than a definite. If Finnick has any better ideas, Eames is more than willing to hear them, but a free and excellent meal makes most people extremely amenable.
