"I do not think sending it with your assistant would be safe." Greymoon quickly commented as he threw a concerned look between Sharon and Marshall.
"The assassins could be watching our very gates without us knowing it."
Sharon gazed over to his friend, whom Frederick was already working on serving a second glass to. The High Elf agreed on Greymoon's concerns that it was too dangerous to send a lone girl to carry the message. She would be a too easy target for the assassins, and they would be needlessly jeopardizing her life.
"What do you suggest then, Richard?"
"I can take the letter myself." Greymoon stated, gently pulling on his white bird with a clever look on his face.
"If the assassins wanted me dead, I would have been dead already after all. I can deliver the letter to the Cathedral myself."
"There is no guarantee they won't change their mind, Mister Greymoon. You hope understand that, do you?." Frederick commented dryly, wrinkling his eyebrows at Greymoon who looked back at the butler.
"I doubt they'd change their mind that soon." Greymoon chuckled cheerily.
"I have yet to do anything to piss off that deranged brother of yours, Sharon. No offense."
"None taken." Sharon replied with a smirk, before turning to Marshall.
"Take your time with the letter, Marshall. I doubt Lord Greymoon will be leaving immediately."
"Indeed. I will wait until the morning, until it becomes brighter. Do you have a room that I could borrow in the meantime, Sharon?"
At the last question, Sharon became completely silent. Moving a hand up to his head, he rubbed his cheek as he turned to Frederick.
"Do we have an available guest room that our... exotic guests haven't already occupied?"
"The attic suite in the north eastern wing, top floor. Short of the roof patrols outside the windows, it is virtually free of our purple friends." Frederick answered almost immediately in his usual calm manner.
"Shall I prepare it for Lord Greymoon?"
"That'd be swell, buddy." Greymoon smiled, raising Frederick a toast before looking back at Sharon.
"I like a good view."
Sharon chuckled softly, but suddenly the men in the room became quiet as they realized the voices and shouts from below became dimmer. A moment of suspicion occurred in the room, as if they feared something had gone horribly wrong, before the voices and laughter once again resumed and the men went back to ease.
"What the hell are they doing?" Greymoon asked with a light chckle, and Sharon gently shook his head.
"Don't know. Don't care. Short of setting the room on fire, there's not anything they can destroy down there." Sharon said with a self confident smile as he raised his glass.
"Wouldn't it been easier to just hire ordinary mercs, don't you think?" Greymoon asked, throwing Sharon an odd look.
"Maybe... " The High Elf said thoughtfully as he sat in his chair, looking back up at Greymoon who sat on the edge of the desk.
"But the Night Elves are cheaper. All they need is free food and drink. I call it good business."
"What about little Miss Rune? Does she approve of the elves using your house as a club house? ... not that it hasn't been before?"
"Well... " Sharon paused, biting his lips as he spent a few seconds thinking about just how he was going to formulate his answer to Greymoon's question about Liaena. Eventually, Sharon tilted his head to the side in his chair as he gazed back at the elderly noble with a smirk.
"She has a few objections, but... ultimately, I think she will understand. After all, she is best friend with one of the Night Elves. What is the worst that could happen?"
