He stood, and wordlessly moved over to the drinks shelf to fulfill her request, a glass of brandy would be a bit strong for her, although it might help her deal with the shock. Riddle me this, my lady He began as he poured her a drink How many people make up the IMG? A few thousand? a hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand at a stretch? Of that number, how many are children? or elderly? How many can, and will fight? I'm going to wager not all of them. Bretonia has a population that stretches into the billions. He turned back to her and handed her the glass of brandy and sat down opposite her So you demand, and make no mistake, it is a demand, that we return your holdings back to you in favour of the status quo. That offer is gone, it was made, we tried, you refused. It's over, you will not be getting Aland or Cardiff back, Aland was taken, not bloodlessly I grant you, but it now lies within our control. Being honest with you my lady, what you propose only benefits you, and I can fully understand that, except..well it comes at a cost to us, the ALG loose nothing and get away with killing Bretonians, the IMG receive the same treatment. I ask you, would the IMG forgive that were our roles reversed? You gambled on us not being able to take what we have, and you lost. Now you come seeking a better deal. Again, I can respect that and I can say with some confidence that if the IMG were to sue for peace right now, South shields and the Hood would be left alone, but Aland and Cardiff? No. He took a drink from his cup and paused again before continuing You have no means of forcing us to give up the two stations, as the population of your organisation clearly demonstrates. So, sue for peace and then we can come to an arrangement. Not before hand, and certainly not because you think you can wage war against us in any serious capacity.
