"If the problem lies with him, then I will personally find the answer myself--whether it lie in his loins or those of another--but these worries are premature, Zoella, and I am sure that we will find answers when questions arise; and we must remember that if I fail in the tast, you still are here to take up the burden--though you and I alone of our fellow Lords and Ladies can manage the task."

Zoella pondered a while over the words of her cousin and had to admit that they were very wise.
"You are perfectly right, my dear Tristeza, whatever will be, will be, I won't trouble you and myself with this topic any more. Guessing the future is often more foolish than being totally emerged in the present. Now, tell me, what could I do to help you rest ? I see you are tired and I've been planning a small reception this evening to honour your return, I hope you will be able to attend it but if you are not inclined, just say so. It might wait."
She thought to herself:I wonder when my sweet cousin suggests a husband for me. I almost see it coming.

"I have no other plans today," she told Zoella, "And I would be honored by such an event--given that it is small, as you say...our treasury is empty, and it bears a great many more important burdens already."

Zoella was very pleased, hearing that.
"That's very nice of you to come, sweet cousin, as there's also the second reason why I would like to celebrate tonight - I've created the first bank in Dorne! If everything goes well, the financial troubles will not bother us, even without lord Frey's money. I planned a small reception on the biggest terrace after the sunset."

OOC: It would be kind of hard to create a bank without any money. How are you suppose to lend it out?

OOC: We know Fellie's always got our back, right Zoe? : b
"It sounds lovely, Zoella." Tristeza answered; she appreciate the lengths to which her young cousin went so regularly to keep both the kingdom, and their lives running so smoothly as they did. "I assure you, I will, of course, attend. However, now, I think I shall take the interluding time to answer whatever little courtly duties have come up during my absence--thank you so much for your support, Zoella." she said to her dear cousin. "You are a godsend." And with that, she stood up, kissed her dearest cousin lightly on the cheek, and excused herself.

Triseza arrived at Zoella's chambers in a somber mood; she did not like the idea of spending so much time away from Dorne, and yet, it seemed at the time, the best way to improve their standing, when she entered, she sat beside Zoella--there were no introductions, for her expression did not invite happy welcomes. "They have offered me a position which will leave me a great majority of the time in King's Landing, Zoella." she told her dear cousin softly, and waited for her response.

Zoella looked at her, wide-eyed and apprehensive for a moment or two.
"Give it to me straight, dear cousin. What position are you talking about? What will happen to Dorne without you?"

"It will not affect my position as Lady Paramount, Cousin." she told Zoella slowly, 'But if I were to take it, it would affect you a great deal...Though I have told Lord Blackwood already that I must have common leave to visit Dorne, I will not be here so much as either of us would like, and so, it will fall to you to answer many of my responsibilities...and of course, you shall visit King's Landing often as well, so that we may discuss the popular politics of Dorne." Tristeza thought silently for a moment. "The position is the role of an aid to the Lord Hand...It seems at face-value to be a job of little importance, but if I were to come into his good graces, it might prove immensely helpful." she told Zoella sincerely.

Zoella became rather pale but she proceeded with a steady voice:
"I see it is the best thing that could have happened to you, dear Tristeza, and to Dorne. Lord Hand is a very powerful man and, as I've heard, he is positively disposed to you...but his wife died in fishy circumstances; bear that in mind - you will have to be very careful to survive there. Take more people with you and have your eyes widley open during the day and at night too.
I only hope my humble person is up to the task you are hinting about" she added more ruefully.
"I did appreciate having you around."
