[ a noise of agreement. he is thinking again: of islands, of a right hand. you have the ships, the friends —

islands sink. silver tarnishes. ]

Does he believe you placated?

[luaithre]

[ Another sound, sort of a probably not. ]

I made a demand, that Matthias be excluded from deeds like Flint asked of you and him. He acquiesced. I suppose that's like placation.

[wythersake]

[ forgive the brief segue — ]

What will you tell Matthias when he discovers that?

[ you know. inevitably. ]

[luaithre]

I had it in mind to tell him myself.

[ there are a lot of things he could say —

but only one of them that fucked this up. so: ]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Flint has ideas, he lacks reach. Nascere is gone. Rutyer and Yseult are opposed to us. If you intend to move with him, it may do to ferret out those other allies that remain. How far do his supports extend beyond mages?

[luaithre]

They extend to the Van Markhams of Nevarra, if rumours are to be believed.

[ Better than rumours, really, but still. ]

We are valuable, but we are easy to disavow. I'd sooner we'd his skin in this, but that's sunk to the bottom of the fucking sea.
