"C-C-Couldn't we… um…" Miina trailed off, looking sheepishly away. She [i]was[/i] going to propose just… getting Isolde out of the way for a little bit, even if Esben was staunchly against [i]killing her[/i], but really, how would they go about doing that? Now that she thought about it, that would only make the negotiating position worse than just [i]disappearing her[/i]… "O-Oh, w-won't she run off if C-Cid's location is revealed…?"

Rather than using the priest as a [i]bargaining chip,[/i] couldn't they just use him as bait? If they got the unreasonable one out of the way, they could persuade the other two, and [i]then[/i] avoid dealing with Isolde until it was okay to get back at her in future!

Ah, she should have eaten her stew slower, it would've let her keep busy and just stay out of the conversation. Or would they just have started later…?
