The faintest hint of a smile appears as Laena posits that every matter is a matter of faith. "To be sure, there are some things for which I am not best positioned to advise--grain yields, crop rotations, and the like. But as I said before, faith is deeply woven into the strings of justice and law. And politics? Politics is nothing more than the note that rings out when the string is plucked." He sweeps a palm from his waist out to the side. "All I do is ensure that Blackbriar's harp plays a holy hymn, each chord carefully chosen." The septon is not so crass as to answer with one word, even though it would have imparted the same meaning.

Laena nods. "Then, there is a matter I would like to discuss with you." She glances over at her children. "Tomorrow, if it pleases you. My children are too young to stay idle overlong, and I still wish to make my own prayers.
"It is a matter of politics. Specifically, about the relationship between houses Starkwood and Blackbriar. I do not wish to mislead, I have been granted no formal powers of arbitration. I am, after all, merely a woman. I merely seek ... clarity that you would see the matter as pleasing to the Seven, before more formal avenues of communication are utilized."

"I understand. May the Seven answer your prayers. I look forward to meeting again."
Intriguing. The Starkwoods seek succor from Gyldenhaal? Mayhaps they are pressed hard on all sides . . . it is difficult to marry off half-Dornish children . . .

"And you, Septon." She gives a farewell curtsey, before swiftly praying to the mother.
She manages to finish her prayers before her children become too restless and disturbing of others. Collecting everyone up, they head out the door, Leana offering a final nod goodbye to the septon should he still be visibly around.
Two steps out the door. "Whhhyyyyyy?"
