I ask that you use caution if encountering Yhych in the courts. Or at least carry with you an anti-toxin.

[ dot dot dot . . . ]

Is anyone a weapon-maker here?

Ignore my next message until you are alone or are able to control your reaction.

[ There will be a pause, one which seems to tick away as an eternity for her. And then: ]

I'm told Kebechet is here.

[northerndragon]

Who is he?

[dorzalta]

She.

[northerndragon]

[... Of course. All these women he's known or encountered, Dany herself, and his sisters, and Cersei, and Ygritte, and little Lady Mormont, and he still assumed... well, never mind. He knows now.]

Who is she then. Do you know

[Is it ever really a good thing, in terms of what it says about his state of mind, when his punctuation becomes this haphazard?]

@PERSONALSTAFF

[garbagepilot]

[Well.

That's a thing.]

Told by who?

[dorzalta]

[ It most certainly is. ]

@BURGERKING
Do you recall the nurse in Gallipoli? Mary Smythe?

pretend this has been private the whole time

[garbagepilot]

A name would be more helpful.

I didn't visit the nurses, I stayed in the trenches the whole time.

@POINTANDKICK [1/2]

[pointedlook]

No surprise there. I'm sure Kebechet has it out for anyone who got the upper hand last time. Or just anyone, they seem pretty spiteful.

@POINTANDKICK [2/2]

[pointedlook]

How are you holding up?

[ He's definitely concerned about the mention of anti-toxin. ]

[dorzalta]

She was on their base when we destroyed it.

[ Or she should have been. ]

A minor poisoning for my arrogance. I'll live.

@DIEDHARD

[mylawn]

You're 'told'? Do you trust this intel?

[dorzalta]

Enough to have trusted him with the life of my intended in Gallipoli.

[mylawn]

Means nothing if his source is bad.

That said, it's worth looking into. Where's Kebechet now?

@GOTTAGUN

[goodandtrue]

Did something happen? Why the anti toxin?

[1/2] public;

[dorzalta]

I'm fine.

[2/2] private;

[dorzalta]

It was a misstep in a battle of wiles. Truly, I'm fine.

[horsepowered]

1. Did your source of this information explain how they came to verify this information?

2. What do you intend to do?

3. Is whatever you're intending a mission benefit?

check my messages to you on disco!

[dorzalta]

We've an opportunity to us, assuming she does not yet know of our intel.
And if this information is truly accurate.
I believe it is.

[ But she is not infallible. ]

As for my own intentions, recovery. That benefits both you and I.

[ However much it chafes to sit aside, she would be far more a liability at this point whilst recovering from a poisoning. ]

@BOARING

[lonelywar]

[. . . oh.]

Do you plan to speak to them?

[dorzalta]

Do you think we've anything to gain from trying?

[ The answer is yes, she would like to speak to Kebechet. ]

@FEATHERBRAIN

[bivariant]

de Rolo is a weapons crafter by his own admission.

[dorzalta]

I've not met him. What is his area of specialization?

@MODERATUS

[bloodings]

tell me where, or ill chop off the head of every regency agent here.

[dorzalta]

[ Mordred, no. ]

I cannot tell you where, but I can tell you who.

But only if you swear it that you will bide your time. We will do this properly.

PRIVATE, @BURGERKING

[dipolar]

Don't compromise my position.
If I am discovered by the Regency, I won't be working with COST for much longer.

[dorzalta]

I've no intention to, Spider.
