jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse [raid meeting]

Torrent stayed well back from the group as she listened to the discussion about who to raid, but she finally stopped lurking to pace forward and speak up. "On the surface Ashen seems like a reasonable choice if they were already eyeing is with the thought of taking over." Her eyes narrowed for a moment on Pestilence, who had made herself awfully cozy with Alarr, and in light of her confession made that relationship suspect.

Still studying the other female through narrowed eyes she continued. "Does the fact that they are allied open us up to retaliation? And if it does, is that a problem for us or would it just be an opportunity to put them in their place as well?" She didn't sound too concerned at the prospect of the Armada attacking them in retaliation - if anything her low gravely voice seemed to turn the words over in her mouth with enjoyment.

"If the prospect of retaliatory attacks is an issue, we may want to hold back from packs with allies... the pack Winterfell seemed quite isolated in the north, far from any potential allies. They could be a good option, if they have resources to make the travel worthwhile."
