Alice smiled. "Now, now, I wasnt spying on you, unless you count hearing and seeing what my messenger did as spying. You were rather loud. And despite what you believe, I think you do care about the Vivus house and what they were doing. I have no reason to get rid of any of the houses. I'm simply trying to help you." She raised an eyebrow. "After all...don't you think you're being rather hypocritical? The most dangerous person to the house of Vivus is you, seeing how you treat it."
