*Darien presents a cordial, respectful visage and answers, that yes, the Good Lady Cynn is as well as ever, but alas, the Fortress is in not such grand condition. He goes on to explain in little detail about the neighboring barony of Verdana, the troubles it has recently underwent, and what that could mean for the lands of the Frost Knights, who have since the Founding looked most highly upon the good sense and gentle hands of the Lords Lonsdale.

Finally, he gets to his point, and sitting up straighter, brings up the Dragon Amulet in Lord Lonsdale's possession and the Frost Knights' temporary need of it. He ends:
"Please, think upon our request. But how are things on the Lonsdale Estate these days? It has been much too long since any Frost Knight could come, much to everyones' chagrine. Is there, perhaps, something that you might like Us to help with?" (Darien hints very heavily about the Silver Apple negotiations, for one, and lets Lonsdale begin to rattle).*
