Lil... Oh, God, why did it have to be Lil? Sadness bathed Suiteheart in its cruel waves, but she smiled through it regardless. Lil obviously chose not to know her despite their recent run-in, so there was no real need in pretending. It bruised her heart, but she would not allow this to show. She had a job to complete, and a rather cruel one at that given the circumstances. "I would prefer to tell Pinch myself, but if he's unavailable at the the moment, I think you'd do well to carry the message to him, Lilyspoise."

She opened her mouth to explain her reasons for her presence at the border, but before she could speak, her attention was stolen by Ilijas. She watched as a confused look appeared upon his gray features, and she could not help but wonder why. It was not normal bewilderment, no, this was much more advanced. "Nice to meet you, Ilijas," she returned, her voice soft because an idea had come to her: he spoke just like Margaery with that little accent of his. Curiosity glittered in her dark eyes, and she prayed this was not a simple coincidence. She made a mental note to visit him later, alliance or not.

Turning her gaze again to Lilyspoise, she delivered the news: [color=#73B1B7][b]"Our leader, Starrynight, has chosen to break off the alliance we have with the Typhoon. He wishes to still remain friends, but regardless of that fact, we're neutrals again.

"Should Pincher have any questions, he is free to travel to the Ascendants to ask them. We ask for no trouble though."
