SIR BORS (looks up from his desk, smiles in greeting) "Indeed, milady, there is much toing and froing of late. Blandamour sent me a message and I just got it. It seems as if he has vowed to retreive Kinn'zuwannik the Black's vase from that detestable Beresfor, to save a companion's life. Well, I cannot have that, though I cannot tell him so. I want you to steal the vase, "Peace of Mind" it is called for some reason, and bring it here. That way, the dragon can have his gewgaw, the Order will not be compromised, and we shall have peace in the North for some little time." (Tired smile) "I don't want Blandamour to soil his hands, but ours are soiled plenty already, aren't they?"
