"Of course, I'm concerned." She doesn't sit yet. After Mitra is seated, she returns to Shard and offers a hand.

Shard nods and takes a hand, the healer is tending to him first for his wounds are more grevous

She helps him up when ready.

"I am fine," Shard says his pride still intact, "I lost , and it's settled."

Mitra nods "Glad to hear that. Dam you're strong...even for a troll."

Shard nods

"I'm glad you're on our side." Jess adds.

"I'm with the pitt," he says "Where ever it is going"

"Well, there will be formal tea" Mitra says "And everyone will have to wear hats"

Jessica grins a little.

"Ooo" Sayna claps.

Shard sighs

"If that's what Sanya wants...."

"Sometime maybe?" Sayna says

"I think we can make sure there is a proper tea party sometime soon," Mitra says "I will make it happen"

"I'd be happy to host at Fenix if it comes to that."

"Oh thank you, Jessica" Sayna says "But this is my home now. It's angry and... violent, but we clurichaun also can be. If I'm to rule here one day I can't take away the gentler moments even if she's not as suited to them"

"But you're invited here when the tea does happen" She throws in hopeful

"I'd be honored." She bows.

Sayna smiles

Mitra's own wounds are sealed up greatly, "Thanks" To the healer, then she looks at Jessica "As you can see, the Pitt is settling..fitfully. I think this whole new unified orderly thing has her testy"

Jessica nods. "I felt it."

"She's.. different," Mitra says "I like her, but she's the redhead of the sisters"

"I have always thought of Fenix and the Pit as a ying-yang situation. Summerstryke.... that's changing also."

"Into what? Tweak's going to live up to her name I'm sure"

"I'm not sure. From madly Seelie to firmly Unseelie....."

"Hopefully not too much. She might find a balance is best. And , nockers tend to be less hung up on the court system"

"True."

"Will they continue making weapons? They cut down for a time, then had to build up"

That from Shard

"I don't know; we haven't discussed. The non-lethal weapons came in handy."She admits.

"Her hold, her call," Mitra says "But I'm sure she'll go where the big bucks, dross etc are."

"Within reason."

"Within reason. " Mitra says "So, seen the new tabard yet?"

"No?"

"One has been made for you, Half Liam, Half Gwydion, with some weird nordic collar."

"By who?" Baffled.

"The Duke commisioned it. For you."

"We'd discussed... Well, ok." A lift of her shoulder. "Where is it?"

"I don't know, I only know of it" she says.

"Spying.. mmph" Shard says, unimpressed

"Spying?"

"He means I have spies, and I use them" she says

"I don't love the necessity, Shard, but she gets good results."

"Spies can even be heroes of a sort," Mitra says, "And my liege?" To Jessica, "I suggest you get ones you can trust..more or less"

"I have you."

Mitra nods "Thank you. So in addition to Regent here I am also chief intellilgence officer?"

"Spymaster you mean" Shard says

"Spy Mistress, if you like.. but I think my liege would prefer Intelligence Officer"
