[@Lauder] Obviously. If we're feuding with a clan then chances are they won't be swayed by pretty words and gifts. But what's happening with Clan Stormcaller right now shouldn't be our clan's modus operandi. At least in Maire's eyes. We've just persuaded the Gearalti to become our trading partners, and we might be able to form close ties with Clan Andal. We don't want to lose what few allies we have over this whole incident. Fighting will be necessary at times, of course. But when it's not we should try to bind the fates of other clans to Clan Aonghus in other ways.
