I do not want to give any of our enemies the satisfaction of witnessing me cowed. Yet I do not trust our hosts, fully, to protect us when so many have lain dead at their feet. Whether resurrection is indeed possible or not, the truth remains that we are not wholly safe here.

Their games succeeded at uniting us, for a time, despite our grievances. Any bloodshed now would be excessive and unnecessary, but the strife within our family is ours to be concerned with, not the business of any outsiders.

[vermax]

And reach time we are brought back, we are not fully ourselves.

Unfortunately, I believe that family here extends beyond those we have considered amongst the truce.

[perzo]

Whom do you speak of?

[vermax]

Tim Laughlin at least.

[perzo]

He introduced himself to me by name, at one of this house's parties. Surely he would not have done so if he had already sworn his allegiance to the Greens.

[vermax]

I do not believe they understand the gravity of the situation. The people here.

[perzo]

Of course not. How could they? We are not even in possession of our dragons, who would be a fearsome symbol of this war all on their own.

[vermax]

Not yet.

I fear they see us as equals as a result. And what has transpired, a simple fight that we have overblown.

[perzo]

They are not our equals. Not when they have nothing to support their claim save lies.
