Do you believe they'll perceive our actions as a threat to their pride?

They will if we overstep what we've set out to do here. This is one reason Thomas means to focus on blocking the passageway below ground without their knowledge. They need to believe they've won this battle that will ensue with their own methods, and they refuse to see what lies in front of them.

[Francesca is actually quite familiar with this tactic of manipulation, although she usually operated on a far smaller scale.] On missions like this, I think it would be much more effective of Wynn to just be blunt about his objectives.

Although I am curious to see how some of the squire will perceive and interpret our expected actions. [She pointedly sweeps her gaze across the lot of them.]

Perhaps he wished to see if they were perceptive enough to pick up on them.

Well I don't plan to leave them all in the dark. That's just asking for trouble. [She fixes her gaze on Ethan.] I think I'll bring my squire along for my part. His expertise in military tactics will be quite useful in discerning some of their intentions.

I trust your judgment, of course.

Thank you, Luthir. [She gives him a small smile.] That means a lot to me at this point.

I helped Wynn select the team. I should hope that speaks for itself.

Volumes coming from you, Luthir. [Her tone is sincere, as is her statement.] I know how much time you've invested into this conflict, and I will give my best to ensure we leave with a favorable outcome.

You have my gratitude, for that.

Anytime. [She keeps her soft smile, turning her gaze to the window on her right.] Besides, an unfavorable outcome doesn't bode well for my personal well-being.

Nor any of ours.

[She nods.] At least we're all on the same page, for better or worse. Although it is comforting to be around so many old friends.

[His heart is warmed forever that you called him a friend, shh] It seemed the wisest course, to bring experience along.

I'm a bit surprised Wynn even had us bring any squires along. But then again, I suppose I'm not, given who said squires are.

And I suppose, aside from the intensity of the situation, this is our usual area of expertise.

Can you honestly think of anyone better suited?

[She can't decide if Luthir is being defensive or simply following her musings. She'll humor both options to be safe.] They'll each be very useful, yes. Of course, I wasn't second-guessing your choices or anything. Obviously your insight for this mission far exceeds mine.

Mmm. [Thanking people is overrated]

[No worries, she's used to arrogant jackasses (see thread above).] So how does it feel to take Wynn's very own squire under your charge?

I look at it the same as having any squire in my care.

Of course you would. Level-headed as always, Luthir. [She means it as a compliment.]

I don't see any reason to look at it differently. I can't imagine that's what Arthur wants.

[She smirks at that. All young royalty like to imagine they want to be treated like everyone else, but few actually expect it.] I guess we'll soon find out.

That we will.

[She doesn't want to kick him out of her area, but she also doesn't want to make him uncomfortable with small-talk unless he'd like to continue. She just leans back a little, looking out the window some more, waiting for him to say something or get up or whatever he wants to do.]
