[video / both courts / backdated to january 7th]

[Well. Looks like Tzilan was right about the Seelie going on the offensive. It's one of those odd occasions where Saralegui wishes the vampire wasn't always right, but nothing to do about it now besides damage control. If that happens to be good for his image, then that's just bonus points.]

I'm sure everyone is aware of the upcoming fighting by now. And I'm sure there are those who, like myself, have no skill whatsoever in that area or just no interest in it.

[Just look at him. He's a twig, and that hair is absolutely not at all practical for fighting. The  self-aware, slightly self-deprecating little smile he wears is only further evidence of that. And better, of course, to play up that helplessness. He prefers to be underestimated, and the knife the Brucolac had given him is very easy to keep hidden.]

So I'd like to offer up Redgate as a safe haven away from the fighting. Others have made this offer, I know, and I hate to be redundant. But I would hate myself more if I didn't make it at all, and I can at least offer a place well out of the line of fire. It's very defensible, and kinder to shardbearers than most places have been lately -- the result of having been founded by a shardbearer, I assume. The distance might seem great, but for shardbearers it isn't really that bad -- only a few days from the nearest fairy ring in Daonna.

Truthfully, I am Unseelie myself, but I make this offer to anyone who wants it, from whichever court. The politics of this world mean little to me. I only want to see those who can't defend themselves kept safe.

[Saber had asked him as the Unseelie General to take Unseelie-aligned individuals into Redgate's care, but she hadn't technically asked to only take those from their own court. If she has a problem with how he does things, then she can bring it up with him personally.]

I have some natives who need a safe place. Would it be possible for them to somehow be brought there?

[ She sighs. ]

I'd take you up on it myself, but my home seems to be directly in the line of fire.

If anyone grabs you needing an escort, direct them my way and I can get people on it.

Your offer is generous, and worthy of commendation.

[ Even if Gabranth has his doubts as to its efficacy. But that's not why he's speaking up now. ]

However, while Redgate may welcome shardbearers in need, the same can hardly be said of Daonna. Those seeking transport through the fairy ring there would do well to know that, and seek an escort if need be.

[digophelia]

Oh, Saralegui, please stay safe. You will let us know agai nif you need forces, yes?

Lord of Redgate. It is Tarz, a knight of Caer Glaem who addresses you.

Would you be willing to meet to discuss these policies? Before the closed gate, if it please you, and with a full honour guard.

[Fuck the police. Maleficent responds to the message with a smile and an acknowledging dip of her head.]

That is a very generous offer. I'm pleased to see others taking the well being of those who have no call in this war into consideration. It is a noble thing you're doing. I'm equally impressed to see this happening through a member of the 'opposing court'. It gives me hope that the labels put upon us by those who've brought us here are merely for their clarification and not our own.

A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO TZILAN

[enthraller]

[Because Lord El-Melloi seemed unnerved about that Tarz guy, and Saralegui can't deny that it's wise to look into these matters ahead of time. Especially when he has a such a good source to draw from.

Thoughtfully, he at least tries to make his message as un-bothersome as possible, just a quick note in text.]

I hate to bother you like this, especially when you're as busy as you must be right now, but there was a matter I wanted your input on.

Redgate, huh... [ Isn't that the place Waver is always trying to send her to for safekeeping? ]

It isn't redundant to offer many places, but this sort of approach... I do hope you have the defenses after making such a bold offer.

[ It's tempting to head there instead of Mair, but after this? Oh well, she can expect a call from Waver insisting on her presence either way. ]

[andallbite]

I'm guessing you don't need to hear this from me—

[ Or want to, probably. He's bringing it up either way. ]

But be careful over there, too.

Lord El Melloi II mentioned that there are safe places to bring those who would rather not get involved. While we spoke it became obvious that it might also be meet to arrange for ... mm, warm food at the other end. Blankets, clothes, a place to lay their head, and so forth. Do you know if such things are possible to arrange?

[muscovy]

Can people who don't like the queens come to Redgate, too?

[vrykolakas]

You may need to take some of my kin, if you've the space and...the resources. I have ideas about how to provide for them, if that's a point of hesitation for you.

I'd be in your debt.

[ Kelsi's voice is quiet. Not quite scared, but timid. From the looks of it, she's in the training field--she has her glasses but her hair is up in a messy ponytail and tucked under a modern looking newsboy cap. ]

Are you sure you want Seelie there?
