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

Is anyone a weapon-maker here?

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

I'm told Kebechet is here.

Wow Hei mentioning slavery all low key like that and Dany is EYEZOOMS

[dorzalta]

[ Slavery. Discussing such a thing caught her in this poisoning mess to begin with. ]

The queen will spare but a moment, lest you find a way to hold her attention further.
Still, you would hand away a kill that is rightfully ours, but if the queen believes you, that would harm the Regency's positioning.

[ Which, ultimately, could harm them. ]

Depending on how you intend to reveal this, and how to react to it, she may deem us weak.

There are many ways to demonstrate power.
Going above and beyond the line of duty for the High Queen might just be one of those many ways.
You're right in that things could go sour, but risk-taking is admired here and we should be emulating that.

But if you have a better way, as a Queen who values power, I'd like to hear it.

[dorzalta]

Prior to risk-taking, we should be evaluating our options. @pointandkick made an excellent point about preparing for mishaps.

Were you aiming to gain my favor, offering me a fleet at one point in my life might've accomplished that. Unwavering loyalty, not just in idea, but in displays. Vengeance against those who would do me or mine harm, or who would betray me.

We understand that the queen is in power. Her daughter threatens that power, and she must understand that as well. Why keep a threat alive? Because that is part of her line. A mother will not slay her children.

[ She thinks of Cersei, of Tommen. Amends with: ]

Unless given just cause.
