Dragons, I hate this.
Lord Henry nearly killed in his own solar. Kasrae completely locked down, no one in or out. The people in terrified turmoil. No one sure who to trust. So Henry sends to us for help, and no one here can decide what to do.
This is awful. It's not just that Kasrae is one of our closest allies. Dammit, Lara's been here in Rayla since she was fifteen. She's been here since before I was. She's practically -- she's practically family. I should be able to do whatever I need to to help her.
She begs me to send men to protect her father and flush out the assassin. And that's what I want to do. That's what I should do.
But it's not that easy ... and I'm starting to see that now. After Gathre, after the bandit attacks, after that town ... we're being baited. We're being lured. It's almost certain that this is what this is, too. If we just keep falling for this, over and over again, we're not going to have any men left to defend Rayla with, and then ...
Ugh. But what do we do? The assassin, whoever he is, is still in Kasrae. We can't just let that stand!

How do you do this, Harriet?
