The rest of what he has to say about the undead, and the city - isn't much better. We've walked into a precarious, terrible situation that's going to become very dangerous, even more than it already was.
[ Though she was glad to not have to sit with all this any longer, and have him to talk to about it, she still didn't look forward to telling him.

A coward's decision. He could have fought alongside the other cities, but now Taravast doesn't have any allies. What does he think is going to happen before too much longer..?

[ It seemed clear to her that whatever peace Bonaccorso brokered could be discarded in an instant. There were a bit too many pieces crowding the board around this city.
There was concern written all over her face when she nudged her notebook closer to him so that he could keep reading and leaned to the side, her shoulder bumping his. Lily would never admit to being afraid, but she would admit to how unprepared she felt, should everything go to pot. ]
It doesn't look good. I'll start stockpiling healing potions tomorrow.
