He is making deals on our behalf behind our back.

Emphasis on "on our behalf."

And "behind our back" is only because I've made damn sure you're facing towards Aurvandil. And you're gonna stay that way until I say otherwise, or else I swear, I will spam the Moot with polemic YET AGAIN. DON'T MAKE ME DO IT. ;)

Your character has a surprisingly high blood pressure threshold. Sometimes it amuses Rynn to see just how far Vellos can be pushed. But really, its Alice you should worry about. Rynn may be emotional, but at least he's not irrational.

If Rynn thinks Alice is irrational, then it's highly unlikely that he'll ever be capable of constructive dialog with a Lurian. Alice is played pretty cool by Lurian standards. And, well, it doesn't help when one sovereign proposes to end a war by suggesting that another sovereign spread her legs for a little baby-makin'. Malus would've burned Dwilight to the ground just to get to Rynn. If Alice was making his life difficult as a result, I'd say that's fair. This is especially true considering the excellent personal storyline that Arundel has for Alice. Shocked the hell out of me when Malus learned about it.

Too bad nobody's trying to spread Malus' legs. :)

And cooperation, and dialogue. Things that seem rather lacking these days.

I won't claim to know everything that happens in the 'Moot, but it really seems to informed outsiders like a contest of ideologies between D'Haran interests and Terran interests. More specifically, the interests of Machiavel and Hireshmont. It should already be evident IC, so I'm not really spoiling anything by saying it here, but Luria could really give two !@#$s about D'Haran interests as represented by Machiavel (and Rynn, by extension). Terran has consistently demonstrated a capacity for reasoned discourse, free of paranoid delusion. Whatever its internal dysfunction, there has always been a cool, rational calculus to Lurian foreign policy (I will take this moment to once again compare Luria to Afghanistan). Maybe that's the reason for any lapse in communication within the 'Moot?

Machiavel has only had extremely limited contact with any lurian in quite some time, especially if you discard a few indirect messages in Swordfell. Last time I recall was about trade with Solaria, before the war.

Let's keep it that way.

Hireshmont is a FANTASTIC carrier pigeon.

Rarely have I seen a carrier pigeon write his own missives.

He's a very, VERY good pigeon.

He'll even rewrite YOUR missives, on your behalf!

So you blabber on about a bunch of stuff (no offence) but what is it that is the reason you think for a lapse in communication within the 'Moot?
