"I highly doubt that..." She sighs with a roll of her eyes. "Well so did the Butcher and look what happened there." Then Bellara's question caught her off guard. She froze slightly. "Is it that obvious?"

She squints at Bellara wondering why in the Maker would she do that. But it was better to hold her tongue.

"Good then I believe we have an understanding then. You leave my city alone and I shall ignore whatever it is you are up to."

"Well I assure you I am not looking to cause trouble. So I shall keep your warning in mind."

"What's so curious about it?" She does not even flinch as the woman's nails scratch into the skin of her hand. "Is that a threat or a warning?" Her lips twist into a bemused smile before pulling her hand away.

"Nearly everyone around here I suppose. She is a friendly sort but it's nice to meet you Bellara." She offers out her hand nervously. "Deyanira of House Cantori."

"We haven't but aren't you Bel?"
Her ears wiggle in confusion as she stares at the woman who looks almost identical to her friend.

"Now why would I do that, signora?" Feigns an innocent expression.

Aren't you supposed to work with the leaders of every nation? I am sure a capable intelligent man such as yourself can think of something. Besides even fledglings know that NFMs are a scam.

How gaudy. I'd make sure my wardens were well fed and strong rather than spend my coin on such wastes. Uomo sciocco!
(Foolish man)

Then you have made an enemy this day. You may not fear a Crow now but you will come to regret such foolishness. So I would watch your back if I were you, Mascalzone.

What you are is a supreme ass. The only rights you have are to right good arse kicking. So I suggest you return the stolen goods immediately or we shall have a problem Commander, capisci?

(Do you understand?)

Excuse you? What gives you the right to sell my siblings possessions! Filthy shem. Always taking what does not belong to them...
