Of course, We shall not hinder their comings and goings, provided We can expect the same of you. And you may be assured We have no plans to loot these protected territories.

We have to do this diplomatically. Kicking and screaming will just make our situation worse. Finding bureaucratic/political loopholes and employing obnoxious rhetoric is more likely to fix things.

>You follow Remilia back to the village, and to the house that she emerged from.
>Walking inside, you see it a very plain-looking home, a little smaller than your suite. You see Tenshi laying on a futon, looking quite battered and bearing a number of bandages for what you imagine are cuts. Across the room, Sakuya reclines on another futon, part of her head swathed in bandages, and her left arm and right leg set in splints. She looks toward you as you enter, and starts to rise, before Remilia says, "We told you to stay still! You may make up your missed obeisances later if needs be."
>"Yes, Mistress," Sakuya says in a weak tone, as she relaxes.
