We've just received word from the Orlesian front line.

As I'm sure we're all aware, barring the fall of the Val Chevin blockade, there has been little movement from the front over the winter. Overland, the Orlesians have been dug in around Val Royeaux, and the same can said of the enemy force's occupation in Val Chevin, evacuated Montfort, and beyond. That said, it appears [a little arch; Riftwatch has been informed of the fact, not consulted] that with Spring approaching, the bulk of the allied army - including the Orlesian force, the Inquisition, and the scores Divine Beatrix has managed to train over the winter - has begun to make their move.

They mean to retake Montfort then proceed to recapture Ghislain, with the aim being to divide the Tevinter-Ander army and interrupt supply lines between Perendale and Val Chevin. Unsurprsingly, Corypheus' forces have responded in kind and the fighting has presently come to a head southwest of Montfort.

[Dry as kindling:]

If anyone else has exciting new plans for the Spring they'd like to share - re-papering your parlor, or the deployment of the half legion of foot soldiers you've been keeping in your back pocket -, I'm sure we'd all be delighted to hear them.

Yes, but I helped you refurbish that pile of yours, didn't I.

[Quite archly indeed:]

I have received approval for a very moderate stipend from Riftwatch which presently helps to cover administrative fees owed to the city. None of which been reallocated to wallpaper.

How are you paying for wallpaper, then?

By way of a small loan. Not that my personal finances are your business, Ambassador, but given the mutual interest in the property I will concede the point this once.

Going into debt for fashion. How reckless. I would never.

It is not reckless. It's an investment.

And it isn't the point. I will have the catalog in your cubby. You can do whatever you like with it.
