Marcellus: "Well much due respect Ms. Altovadus we are not privy to the personal matters of the coven you hail from and nor have we made any attempts to shed light on them no matter how interesting they may be. Our lord's marriage is a state secret and the fact that you are aware of it means that an individual spoke of it when they were not supposed to. We have an inclination as to who may have informed you but we will keep their identity hidden for now... unless you heard it straight from the horse's mouth."

Genevieve sat quietly inspecting the vampiress studying her intently, taking not of every inflection of tone and posture. She gave Imperia a coy smile when their eyes met almost teasing the idea of hidden knowledge.

Wallace: "We are aware that your covenant is a powerful trading partner and we would wish to help foster a budding relationship with your people but this? This is no way to bargain. If you wish for us to divulge Harkon's secrets then we must have assurance that you will jot scatter them to the winds and there is also the trust issue between us. You know little if anything about this backwater town and yet here you are asking for what little of value we have. Our town exists as a trading and rest point, our economy based on trade... I am certain that you understand what I am alluding to?"

Edwards sat back in his chair never the true statesman he quickly grew tired of the politics and its obtuse nature and cut in straight to the point. "If you want state secrets and internal information then we require that you be sworn to secrecy and that our town be compensated for divulging such critical information. I know that it sounds... revolting but we can't just let anyone know what goes on behind these doors. The fact that you were let in unaccompanied speaks volumes of how much trust we are willing to give you."
