We don't even know if that's the truth of life in Dorchacht, or if the dream was making an exaggeration of the situation there. We need to first find out how willing they are to speak, what their opinions are, and then escalate things from there, or de-escalate if that is what is so called for. This was never our fight to begin with, and so making ourselves responsible for the fight also brings responsibilities for the outcome of it. Rushing in based on so little information is suicidal at best. [She huffs off-screen, and it's because she's wrinkled her nose in distaste. At worst, it'll spark an international incident, and a war that Aefenglom will not win. And then there's two subjugated city states. Who wins then?]

... I can only hope that, though they will need to be firm and unyielding, negotiations will prevail, and if action needs be done, it is left up to the citizens of the city themselves to decide how it goes.
