No, you're right. Many of the chosen here are free-spirited and will not be spoken for either. In that case, we may have to consider preparing all these types of responses and put forward a formal request for information under the umbrella that transparency will produce great integration and rehabilitation of the chosen.

[strength_of_will]

You may be right. At the very least, we need to give the appearance that we acknowledge their authority here or they won't even bother to consider the petition.

[ He sighs wistfully. If Menel were here-- actually no, his friend would probably make things worse. ]

Whoever goes will have to make it sound like we're willing to submit to their rehabilitation and frame the questions as wanting to know more to better work towards it.

They put up the front of appearing reasonable enough within the confines of their own laws. They may be willing to entertain us because we bring forward a peaceful parlay.

[It was probably best that he not go. There were a few diplomats in the group, but he didn't trust them as far as he could throw them.]

Do you have someone in mind that could appear that way?

[strength_of_will]

[ He thinks for a moment. ]

...Someone I know has a friend who seems pretty even-tempered. I haven't spoken to them before but I've seen them on the 'network' here. They have white hair and white robes.

After the last appeal I made, everyone else I know might let their emotions interfere, I think.

It might be worth exploring if there are no other acceptable options in the forefront. We must be careful in our presentation as we can only assume how the Council will react, and we don't want this person to be put in danger.

[Lies. Silco didn't care, and it would be a good test of how the Council would respond to certain diplomatic efforts. He was all for sacrificing a few pawns in the game.]

[strength_of_will]

Yes, that's true. I suppose we have nothing to lose by asking them. Unless you have any better candidates in mind?

[conflictresolution]

Candidates that I know who have the soft skills that we need are few and far between, I'm afraid. I am agreeable to use the one that you know.

[A potential sacrifice that had no association with him.]

[strength_of_will]

I'll send them a message and see what they say then. Do you just want them to present our questions to the Council?

[conflictresolution]

It would be a good start, and if the questions are well-received, we can perhaps have open communication of expectations on both sides.

[The more information the better.]

[strength_of_will]

Alright, I'll ask them when I have a spare moment. If I have anything new to share, I'll let you know.

[conflictresolution]

I will await your continued assistance on this matter. It is pleasant to find someone willing to make sacrifices for peace.
