It is. I spent some time on this matter. I have been asked to relay a message to you:

Your Champion, Lancer, wished me to let you know that he will do everything he can to protect Redgate regarding Tarz and should an emergency arise, to contact him immediately.

[enthraller]

[It's a struggle not to grin at that message. A real, legitimate effort, because there is nothing so satisfying as things going as planned. The details are a surprise, of course, but Saber had done exactly as he expected in taking charge of this issue herself, and that it's ended up with a Seelie promising to oppose Tarz is a particularly delightful bonus.

But this is the sort of thing he's good at, and after his initial moment of surprise, Saralegui adopts a conflicted expression, somewhere between relief and concern.]

That's... thank you. Or, rather, please thank him for me. I don't want to cause him any trouble with his court, but...

[The way he lets his words trail off makes him seem lost for words, too helpless in this matter to turn down the aid despite feeling he should.]

[scorchedchivalry]

Please, Saralegui. [Saber's expression was flat.] I have been playing this game for more than half your life. And when it suits me and my goals, I allow myself to be played.

Be mindful of how often you attempt to play me.

[He doesn't bend under the pressure of her accusation, but he'll at least lay it on a little less thick. Saralegui frowns with what at least externally looks like confusion, head tilting slightly.]

Tarz is a threat to all Unseelie. Would you have preferred I didn't warn you?

[scorchedchivalry]

No, I am grateful that you warned me, but I do have many sources of information. Just be careful. We are friends, are we not?

[enthraller]

Of course. [And he doesn't even miss a beat.] And I'm sure you're very well connected. But I'd hate it if something happened because I trusted that someone else would tell you.

[scorchedchivalry]

As long as we have that understanding.

[Saber got to her feet.] Enjoy your morning tea.
