[X] Plan Polite Chit-Chat
-[X] Bring with you: Lothos Saan, Queen Rhealla Dryad, Diana, Moonsong, Asha, Theon // Both because all of these people are important members of our small fleet and to hammer home that they are valued subjects. Paxter will be less likely to move aggressively when he knows that part of the attendants have already been offended by him.
-[X] Topics to talk about:
--[X] Start with some polite, lordly gossip. Try to pull out some information about Westeros, the Reach Fey and especially that upcoming conclave they have in Oldtown.
--[X] In return, offer some juicy but ultimately meaningless information of your own to put them at ease and to let them keep talking:
---[X] You were in Lys earlier this month to see for yourself the army put together there against you. Turns out the organizer couldn't even build a proper camp and now his "mighty host" is busy shitting itself all day. What an idiot. // Helps to sell that we were not involved in the actions of Aedon when we make jokes about it from the perspective of someone entirely uninvolved. Also projects strength, for weak lords don't laugh when armies are raised against them.
---[X] Passingly mention that Mantarys and Tolos have integrated into your realm after a period of alliance to present a stronger front against the attacks from Slavers Bay on their cities. // Again, strength and this is likely something that Westeros is genuinely unaware of by now, so something valuable for Paxter to see value in keeping the discussion going.
---[X] Discuss the Braavos - Pentos situation a bit. // Again something he might see value in to keep discussing in hopes of gaining something juicy from us. Fat chance of that happening.
--[X] Try to find out for what reason they are looking for this crown.
