She has eased up some what, less tense "I may have been too on guard against you, Countess. I fear I have trust issues"

"Again, I just want to neutralize the threat he poses to myself, and the peace."

"So the peace is most important. Yes. Do you really think you can do it? Help peace in those lands?"

"And, thank you. I know this was completely out of the blue."

"I think so. I believe so. We've had some success already."

"It was somewhat jarring" She admits then nods "I am not a lover of peace per se, but neither is this war doing either side any good"

"We've had several benefits from peace and working together. Renaissance is growing. To condemn it because you're butt-hurt about something is... well, makes me think I made the right choice."

"I see. ANd yes, you did. though IWish he'd gone elsewhere" A nod , she looks about the room "This is rather impressive, but if you wish, I can go with you to your hold, but that might tip him off if he has spies on the place"

"We know he did. We found one. There might be more." she agrees "I'd like to invite you but I'm worried about the same thing."

"Then we meet here." She assures "It will do. I will get in contact with that sword smith. Do you know any good thieves?" She tells you the hold he is staying at, not in your lands or even the Duke Tierone's lands, sadly

"Um. I'll have to find out. Probably."

"Then I can operate out of here for three days. I have hte room anyway. Is your phone safe?"

Jessica is pretty sure if it wasn't tweak would have found out, at least cellphone wise

"Pretty sure, yes."

"You can stay at Firnost longer than three days."

"Hospitality should not be abused"

"Of course not. But Firnost welcomes everyone. It's... unique, that way."

"It seems a bit too...slipshod"

"It has its own charm."

"Ok. I'll find a thief, you get a duplicate sword made, we'll switch them and .... figure something out before that point."

"It's a start" She agrees

Jess offers her hand.

And Aylr takes it with a nod

They shake.

The troll secret handshake of power and trust given, there is a sense of assurance "I suppose I should ask if YOU would like this room tonight? I can find another "

"Oh, no. I'll head home."

"Then, safe journey, COuntess"

"I'll be in touch. Thank you." And she heads downstairs and home.
