[An unfortunate truth, that. Beatrix wishes she had the answer to that. It's very difficult to prepare for an unseen opponent. In this case, it could be a multitude of unseen opponents. As she's standing in a crowded soiree, caught in a place between two factions, she cannot help but wonder if this is precisely how it felt in the days when Alexandria and Lindblum were just beginning to speak of their own truces.
After too many years of bloodshed betwixt both kingdoms, it would have been impossible to expect anyone to believe in such a concept. Surely there was an expected surplus of paranoia and wariness. Scepticism. Healthy, she'd call that.]
Could be an ambush. [She lifts her shoulders in a surprisingly casual shrug.] Could be an assassination. I think this gathering is meant to serve as either a diversion or to lull those in attendance into a false sense of security. Concisely, I think this is a trap and many people here may be caught unawares by it. It would be foolish to presume that this is purely innocent.
