What a concept.

While I'm not inclined to make a ton of negative assumptions about where Jeph is going with this, I am waiting for the part that gives me a reason to care about Elizabeth or that leads to either "...and here's the reason why someone who isn't completely self-absorbed might think Claire shouldn't take the job" or "why yes, Elizabeth is so narcissistic that she just buried Marten in verbiage with the only actual message being: She objectively has to decline the job because I don't want her around."

Either would do.
