"I don't know where you get your information.  I reviewed the incident, but it was nothing more than a routine patrol.  I assure you that I would have no party in securing this alliance of yours."  Her piercing eyes settled on him like an owl considering a rabbit.

Amilar Vondy bowed deeply and ushered her back to her carraige.  As it departed down the broad roads of the Green Hunt, he exhaled sharply and reflected on the meeting.  "A poor choice of metaphors today, Albia.  Something is on your mind..."  Looking down at his hands, he noticed that his pipe was already lit and ready.  The head of gens Amilar took a deep pull and began preparing for the next round of backstabbing, which might not be so pleasant.
