Sapphire frowns a bit, as she considers the message, then asks for what Aurelia said, as well, nodding as she hears that message. "That fits together, then. The message wasn't for your benefit. Well, not entirely. Someone's listening in, or they thought so, anyway. Meridia was playing up the act, to both feed false information to the listener, and reinforce the image she's been building as a spoiled child. That's why she acted as she did, your first meeting; she suspected you might be an envoy for the enemy, and wanted to make sure, before showing her true self. She also exaggerated it a bit, and used my name to get you to deliver the message to me, knowing that I'd pick up on those clues. Aurelia's message confirms it; she used a couple of keywords that Meridia would've recognized, which means I do, too."
