"What else could I mean?" Eleyna asked. "If Mother dies, Dorne will beed. Many innocents will die. I'm told that is why they wish to slay her, to provoke us, but only blood can pay for blood, and the insult is too grievous to be borne. So...my mother must be saved."

Eleyna looked to her companions. She had hoped for more.

Eleyna considered that.
"I would like to see the lettery ou propose to send, then. And canyou offer any advice over who else we might approach?"

"And why not? We Dornish should stick together," Eleyna insisted. "Loo, this is what the Royces want. We need to present a united front or they will tear us apart."

She glanced at the knights with her in despair. This seemed to be the most she was going to get.
