I smile at the Eyeblight assassin, "Perhaps, but is that not what you are there for? I do recall you and your sister promising to protect me from the shadows, or should I not have faith in such words?" My words while at first glance might taste of simple ribbing, they serve a few more important purposes. First it flatters their pride, with the admission I trust them with my life, as well as prompts them to reassert their loyalty. After acknowledging her reply, I move on, "Now then, I do have need of you. Nothing too major, at least yet, but since the game has officially started, I need to begin making moves. And that requires information. First off, I was visited yesterday by High Priestess Avalon, as I'm sure you have heard by now. To be frank, I don't trust her intentions to be pure, so first I want to assess them, and those of other members of the church to see if they are worth of my trust. In addition, I need to know how the various factions think, and where me and my sister currently stand with them, as well as any potential lords that could be brought to my base. Finally, I would appreciate having tabs on what my dear sister is doing. Nothing too detailed needed, just an idea of who she is talking to would be sufficient enough to understand her game plan. She's not know for subtly after all. Speaking of which, subtly is of the utmost importance in this. I don't need any rumors or bodies to put people on edge. If there are blights that need to be removed, there will be plenty of time to do so after I get the throne, so I would appreciate it if you are willing to be patient, or at least consult with me before."

Me- "Posh, shame is for fools and people with friends... we need no such things, we have the internet."
