"The time to utilize Rokkenjiman and Achkaerinese ties with Seaforth was before, not during or after, these present actions. If a stray bolt of lightning were to hit a Seaforthian and they could somehow successfully tie it to one of your nations you'd see the Imperial Rokenjiman Navy and I'd hazard the Achkaerinese raining down fire against your nations, a situation I believe none of us desires. Whilst the Empires of Aosta and Abertone may hold commitments to each other above and beyond the ADSN I'd be remiss to remind you that Rokkenjima holds ties to Seaforth above and beyond the ADSN and, where we've given our word to defend those we've shed blood alongside, we will uphold that commitment if it is requested upon us by the Seaforthians. This series of actions would have been stronger and more successful if the whole of the ADSN were behind it, we now sit with a situation where, if circumstances go one way or another, Rokkenjima will be treaty bound to defend those who we'd otherwise be mutually opposed to holding a presence in the region."
"I would add that, as the self proclaimed Republic is not indeed sovereign that it is the waters of Marsielles which are being patrolled and, as I have no knowledge of Marseilles issuing such a request we are treading the fine lines of international law on this matter. This is not a concern just of the First Empire but also one shared by other ADSN nations, and while we will talk to Seaforth it will not be in a light of a unified ADSN; they'll have undoubtedly seen our previous remarks on the issue before us. The difference between Rokkenjima's visit to Clysperis and the situation before us is one of those situations did not have far reaching consequences for our region, and I'll simply leave it at that."
