Syrlya's been mostly quiet with those like Lambert making the points he would have brought up anyway, and it's not turning into a diplomatic disaster. He starts to nod in agreement with Childermass. "It would be best if there is a meeting, to send a proper delega--"
And then he does a double take. Wait, was that his name? "I--don't believe the Rose Queen will have any ability to manipulate me like Steven, if that is your concern."
He folds his arms. "As I was saying, if we do consider appealing to the Summer Court, it should be compromised of a few who will help smooth negotiations alongside the Summer Maiden and Ignatius. Our other option is to pursue the Ringmaster directly first, which may force the Summer Court's hand regardless."
And they may be less sympathetic after they incite even more tension on their own.
