Session 31 - Politics and Pilfering

Myetharia collected Princess Shalosha, escorting her to the meeting with the gathered Protectors and Headmaster Simeon. While on their way, Shalosha recognized Myetharia, calling her Mellie, telling her she was unrecognizable from the last time Shalosha saw her, and implied that they were once very close friends. Myetharia didn't share much, but did have an air of anger and resentment toward the princess.
 
Once at the meeting, a disguised Diashan shared his story. Though Shalosha was interested in confirming Diashan's claims, she was not willing to further negotiations. She made it clear that she was merely representing her father, Lord Shaaladel, and was confident that his interest was in acquiescence rather than alliance. The truth of the situation was made clear by Headmaster Simeon - Seaquen would not turn over control to Shahalesti, and Shahalesti wasn't going anywhere until they were in control of Seaquen.
