"First, let me say that I do not wish to participate in the certamen tournament. It is a worthy pursuit, and I, like the other members of the covenant, will be grateful to have a certamen champion in our midst. But my talents lie elsewhere, so I will leave the certamen to others."Primus, if you wish to have another voice to join yours in the negotiations with Lemannus, I offer you my assistance. I too have a great deal of experience in such matters, and I would be happy to put that towards establishing the proper terms and good relations with our parent covenant. If you would prefer to take care of it alone, though, I understand and respect that - I know well that in some negotiations, there are times when a single voice can be more effective than a chorus. "I must admit to doubts about my suitability for an expedition to Monthey, for I do not know what the area is like. If it is a matter of negotiating for a concession of land from the local villagers, then yes, I believe my skills will be of use in that mission. If it is a wild place, and finding our spot is a matter of fighting through bandits and clearing away the wild beasts from the land we wish to use - well, there are those better suited to that than I!" She punctuated the statement with a brief little laugh, and a smile at Tsaran. "Does anyone who has spent more time here, or done any advance scouting of the area, know more of what kind of land it is?""As for our vis negotiations - like Matteo, I think that if we can obtain Mentem vis from Lemannus, it will be to our collective benefit. From a personal standpoint, I would like a supply of Muto, and I believe that there are others in our covenant for whom that would also be helpful. Likewise, I believe that many of us would be interested in books dealing with Muto and Intellego.""I believe that is all. I leave the certamen to others, and the decision about where my skills and talents are most useful, to you, Primus." With an inclination of her head and a smile towards Marcus, she took her seat once more.</blockquote>
