"In my opinion, Your Excellency..." He began. "It might be that the Lyrans are moving to secure a pseudo-alliance with the Combine... or it is just a ruse to get the Combine to be wary of us and not turn their attention to them. But I certainly agree that we should all keep an eye out on the goings on at dinner... while maintaining the facade of us not have had this conversation nor have spoken about any chance of an alliance amongst ourselves."<br/><br/>That was what Countess Foss had taught him, and he wondered if he did it correctly this time and he waited for their reactions to see if his hunch was correct about it.
