Dio looks down after Dirk's remark of being nice to people she says nothing for a bit untill Maeve had spoken. She whispers soft to Maeve.
"I think i do not understand everything here."

"Do not mind, neither do I." Maeve sighs. "I just hope Ryland and Edward come in soon. I hate sitting around and getting bored."
"But do not dare to think that this is your fault."

On her way to the South wings Maeve stops short at the servant supervising the cleaning effort.
"Please send someone to town and hire as many day-taler as you need to take out the bloodied carpets, set someone up to supervise them. Store the bloodies carpets and give order to replace them with carpets of the same color and design. For laying out the new carpet hire day-taylers again."

The poor servant who should lead Maeve to the South Wing has to follow Maeve and Dio
Maeve picks a floor in the south wing with the least number of occupants, preferable none and occupies the largest empty suite.
In the suite Meave raise the logrus lens and searches for spying devices. She is checking any mirror if they are mirrorwright mirrors, she is checking if there are any magical objects.

Dio nods and waits for Maeve to give the orders to the servants. After a bit she says
"It does feel strange what all happened. Though i figured that is how things are done you sre told who to marry and mate with. Like a business deal yes?"
She thinks for a bit.
"Though there was a sttange tension in the room. Dirk seemed really upset."

"It is the first time I hear that the Crown of Amber orders someone of the family to marry, but I'm not completely sure." Maeve replies.
"The marriage is political. It benefits the regent. Dirk is an easy target. Not that he is helpless or can not defend himself but when it comes to family the situation is that his father is dead and on his Chaos side he is from a minor House."

Dio frowns and nods.
"Yes so he has little choice right? He seemed unhappy perhaps i should not have spoken on how a Chaos wedding is done... it is quite beautiful though."
Dio thinks for a bit
"Is there something we can do for him? Dirk i mean. I do not like it to see him upset."

"I guess Dirk has a problem the way the marriage was set up, preferring to be asked to do it to help Amber and not being ordered to do it." Maeve replies.
"I do not know if there is much we can do to help him. Leaving the regent the way he did was a real bad idea. Outright refusing is a bad idea. Running is a bad idea. "
"Dirks ship is in the harbor and the harbor is controlled by my cousin Admiral Calvera, who answers to the Regent. The other way out of Amber is through Arden which is controlled by my cousin Rinaldo who also answers to Flora."
"Leaving is not impossible but will be tricky."

"I see. So it is a storm he has to ride out. And we have to sit and watch."
She looks a bit disappointed.
"Dirk did promise he would take me away on his ship. Sail away. Show me things. I was on his ship once in dreams."
A slight smile appears on her face recalling that moment.
"So we have to wait and sit here...?"

"Running from Flora will most likely get you another group of person trying to find you and this time it will be some cousins of me. Even the most harmless of them is dangerous."
"And if the running is not successful, well I do no want to know what Flora decides then."
"Sitting and getting bored is it." She looks over to the servant.

"Can i ask you something more of a personal nature?"

"Sure we have plenty of time and I want to know much about your life in the courts too." Maeve happily repleis.

Dio smiles.
"Hmm my life in the courts have been simple and boring.
I met some people. Some in dreams some in real. Like Cody... i wonder how he is doing. Dante i had met in dreams. And Dirk... i met when i was studying with Lord Suhuy. "
She plays with the hem of her dress frowning.
"And the rest of the time i was in the convent. Keeping my head low and doing what was expected of me."

"Sure thing, I will look after him and see you there. Dirk you are invited if you like as well." Ovid will look for Dante as he heads for his rooms. Sending some servants to look for Dante if he doesn't find him and let him know of the meeting in the South Wing sitting room with Maeve, Dio and himself in attendance.
He will then unpack wash, shave and change into some of the clothes he had here dressing more in Amber styling of some five or so years ago. He will then stop by the kitchens to have some platters of food and drink prepared for the sitting room. He will then head there to meet with the others.
