"I didn't say immediately, though my mistake for not bothering to qualify. Instead, gradually move into it. Piecemeal and all that. Lack of border hostilities for a while, and then, after ten or so years, make an gesture of peace. Sending their forces home would be an excellent way to start that. And I meant however you deemed fit, I wouldn't pretend to understand the political situation, though I believe the phrase 'uncontrolled blood bath' would suffice for the moment. My requests, however, have been made, so I will see that those ledgers that I can find get to you later, and withdraw before the gaggle behind me decides an assassin or hundred is a good way to fix the situation. Though an attempt would liven up the day a bit."<br/><br/>He paused, looking amused for a moment, before bowing slightly to the king, and tapping Ellen's shoulder. "Now, perhaps you would like to withdraw with me, so you can scream about my insensitivity to the political situation, or some such nonsense?"<br/><br/>He smiled, before turning and heading to the door behind the nobles, not bothering to stop if any refused to get out of his way, simply pushing past them like one would a branch during a walk in the forest.
