And...what will you do, if Henry's foolishness causes you both to suffer?
[she could call on him in an hour, a day. dangling over limbo...if she didn't hold affection for him, it would be so dramatic, so engrossing. but as such as it is, she wonders why Henry would not call on her when she had already offered her assistance to them both.]
Edward, while I would and will support you in getting revenge, such a move is unwise for one reason alone, all else being nothing to the surge of passion that is such a virtue of your spirit. Would this reason not exist, wholeheartedly I would encourage you to eradicate all he loves.
[except Paloma.
pausing, she leans in to whisper to him.]
If you anger Henry too far, too brashly, I wonder if he would gain enough resolve to consider asking their Majesties for some means to restrain you. We both know they are capable of things beyond ourselves, surely they could do it - and it would wound me gravely indeed to know you were bound in a way that none but he could free you from. Enact your anger with care, though, make him suffer through such a way that his intelligence must inform him he deserves every bit of his pain, and you would have him working for your shared sake.
[and she draws back then, gently resting a gloved hand on his face.]
Do you want my assistance to solve this problem of yours?
