He sat himself down and took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I'm not willing to allow Seaforth to come out of this empty handed. This is not, as I explained, about keeping the city, if I get concessions such as keeping the base access and the trade arrangement then they can have the city. Its clear that a referendum is stacked against us, as we opened the city to freely allow anyone in then of course its filled to the gills from citizens of Marseille. In your scenario's we're coming away with nothing and thats 100% certain. My way we can still potentially come away with something. Both your nations have claimed that you're our ally therefore I would hope that I can count on your support regarding our nations interests. Now we've got aircraft preparing to go in, members of the Bracorina Regiment will be onboard to reinforce the garrison, meanwhile we'll begin evacuating families. I expect that you will be supportive of this measure?" He asked before turning to Evanthe.
"We can speak of family matters once I've more time on my plate. At the moment you'll understand my priorities are focused on this matter in Troyes."
