[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

[Lavi]

Cecily opened her mouth to inquire about the circumstance in which he and Satsume encountered Orica, but the mercenary galloped off before she could speak. She could only grab snippets of the events that transpired among the Tanian nobility, which sounded suspiciously similar to her own disgraceful departure from Laus. Whatever: she could ask about the lady later.

She followed the others out of the city, being sure to pull her traveling cloak closer around herself. Since her previous vacation in Bern, Cecily had to be careful in case there were spies tailing her. Not that any of it was important enough to explain to these people (except Satsume, who is well aware of her situation). Instead, she turned her attention towards Ellie.

"How highly ranked is your brother?" Cecily asked. "It may not be easy to get into contact with him if he is some sort of general."

Having lived in the political world for much of her life, Cecily had her own suspicions as to the nature of this development, but took care not to say too much. She has, after all, fled Laus some time ago: out of touch with the general trends of Elibe's leaders. Her own interactions with one of the advisors to the King of Bern while in the country suggested that the Bernese are looking at the situation in Lycia with heavy caution.

Cecily could only imagine that the Bernese advisors are withholding information from their monarch so as to evaluate the progression of Lycia's activities. At the same time, stemming the flow of information would make it impossible for the king to thoughtlessly respond to the situation.

At this point, it is impossible to tell whether these raids are sanctioned or not. In any case, a statement of whether these raids came at an order or not will paint a bright portrait of the social and political climate in Bern.
