I think he is referencing the joint project with the Altmer.
How were we supposed to know about the Maormer-Altmer Joint Assault, either? I expect Ferrand's going to be a bit taken aback by those actions. And as for the dormant High Rock ambassador at the Summit, sorry about that. I can't remember what it was I became occupied with. And I think High Rock and Hammerfell might have some chances to strengthen a bond somehow. I think its the Altmer-Maromer Joint Assault thing that's going to destabilize the relationship between Hammerfell and High Rock. I already have an independent nation of self-governing Orcs smack dab in the middle of my nation in the mountains. This business with Stros M'kai is hitting dangerously close to home for High Rock, this being their neighbor being attacked..
Accepting the trade goods from Alinor would be like accepting the products the salesman is selling after watching him beat the shit out of your neighbor's son with his friend. The son being Stros M'kai. And in this instance, if the salesman was brave enough to do that, would you decline his wares?
