Ah. I meant that you don't seem the type to tolerate boredom.
My case is still strong enough. If you don't direct a lightning strike, then who knows where it might land? I'm sure your lotus won't take to being peppered with pleas to make friendly with me. Does that not fall under your diplomatic purview?
[Now there's lightning. And a diplomatic purview. And still no easy retaliation to get her to stop calling Li Lianhua that. He will make fun of her dramatics anyway.]
Only if you get blamed for it. So maybe. You don't think Inigo could convince him?

Not meddling is miracle enough.
