Jaelle recognizes the woman in the grey robes - Aline - waiting for them in the Great Hall, and strides past the Kings, regal and commanding as either of them, to speak to her. And she listens, impassive and cold and very still, as Aline recites her greeting from Audiant, Second of the Mormae, Second of Dana, in Gwen Ystrat. The only outward reaction is a slight narrowing of her eyes, when Aline explains that Audiant chose to send a personal message, rather than linking through the Mormae to Jaelle, so that the men here would understand the urgency.

She almost relaxes - a little - when Aline explains that Audiant is acting as the King’s Warden, not as the High Priestess’s Second. But then her shoulders stiffen again as Aileron cuts in, demanding that a message sent from his Warden must needs be delivered to him, not to Jaelle. Nor does Jaelle intercede, though his tone and behavior are hardly those she expects her priestesses to be addressed with. Aline, whether she knows it or not, is a pawn in a complex power struggle both within the ranks of the priestesses of Dana and outside it, among three very clever people, and between each pair of them.
