[un: sprite bulb] text; after the Bonaccorso meeting and follow-up chat with Arche

He said Vannozza is a sword and Macaluso is a shield. That it's a shame both are needed in wartime.

Stressful. I misstepped once, but I thought I was doing alright.

At the end he asked about us though. He's suspicious about so many people arriving at the same time to support the political situation. Somehow I managed not to get arrested. I think we're okay. Archeval said it isn't surprising he suspects we might have our own motivations for doing so, but I don't think Bonaccorso suspects we're working together.

I hope you're right.

He seemed sure a dual governing power wouldn't work, so I told him I'd sooner reach for a sword in these circumstances. He implied a sword wouldn't do much against witches. I didn't really understand what he meant by that. I probably should have asked further.

[It doesn't make a great deal of sense still, but at least he's communicated what he knows to someone who can interpret it]

I was.

I felt them, but Lily helped us avoid them whenever they drew close enough to sense. Why?

I don't know. I'd guess no more than a few decades.

[Well, he's certainly going to sleep with his swords closer at hand now]

Anurr is here?

[As it's described, it feels like a slow invasion]

I don't want to see this city fall.

It feels like this world is being overtaken by undeath and sounds as though Taravast is one of few cities free from the undead. If it falls, I wonder how much life there will be left.

[Eleven skims over everything past the first sentence, deeply shaken. The ink blots heavily through the scant, unsteady letters he manages in reply. The question mark is scratched on almost as an afterthought]

Sold?

[He has to walk away for several minutes before he returns to reply. Even then, he's not that much calmer]

He had to know all he was doing was buying time! It didn't solve anything except give the city less allies!

I hope he lives long enough to regret it.

Clearly he doesn't think much about alliances.

How did you find about all this?

He was just talking about that in public?
