[ One of the very, very last indeed. And yet, here it...sits? Frowning slightly, she taps out a response. These devices are much faster than a raven, that much is certain.]
I see.
[ She doesn't see. At all. ]
Where would you like to meet?
[She can be gracious. She has manners. He's probably not used to those. ]
It troubles me that our last meeting might have left our hosts disturbed. Our departure was unseemly. And I know how your House cares for honor. Wolf and fish alike.
[so that's SOMETHING like manners anyways. She's probably not used to that. Be courteous, he thinks to himself. But it is hard to resist.]
[ Is that an olive branch? They did not exactly part on the best of terms, what a shock. But she is willing to perhaps take things at simple face value, for the moment. ]
It is true that we were not on our best behavior.
[ She will allow that. It is not seemly to lose one's temper. And not in public, either. ]
I will meet you there, then. And I will do my best to keep the claws away.
Now, that would be a rare courtesy. And one I would ask you to mete out slowly. Too much courtesy and I might die of shock.
[How often has someone of House Stark swatted at him? Quite often. Occasionally bloodied him. And yet, as Jaime had reminded the Lady Stark at their last meeting, he is the one still living, maimed and all.
Myrcella had often spoken of peace in the time that she was in this country. She is nothing like her mother at all. Nothing like her father, either.]
I suppose we will see how true your courtesy is after the hour is up.
Pray remember to keep a civil tongue in your head, and I will do the same. This is like to be some jest of the gods, to continually put us in arm's reach. No doubt to see who gives in first.
I have the choice of moving my quarters to one more private. I’m loathe to pass up the oppertunity. But it would put me nearer to some of our countrymen. I was hoping you would offer your opinion of them.
[she would recognize that voice anywhere; as near and dear as Edmure’s, so she reaches for her device instantly. Her voice is a bit sleep-fogged; she hasn’t completely regained her momentum from the events of the month.]
As well as can be expected all things considered. What of yourself and the lady Haen?
[her voice has taken on something of a bemused quality. Trust Petyr to have Reasons for everything.]
This voting I still find an odd concept, yet I will see what I may do. Have you any advice on the prospects? And what of your future? I’m sure you must have many bright prospects.
Well, my future remains to be seen. I can only predict things that are within my control.
[ A pause. ]
But as for prospects, there seems to be a good group of candidates running for the position. Maurtia Falls would benefit under anyone who happens to win, I believe. Though I suppose above all, I am in support of Dio Brando. Of the candidates, he is the only one who chose to live within Maurtia Falls and who, without being an ambassador, has gone on to benefit this city simply because he cares about things here. It's that sort of dedication that I feel my city needs.

Yes.
[ And finally telling the truth did little to free himself of any of it. He still feels burdened, and he doesn't know how to fix it. ]
