Look, when you write another lord, name the matter first: road, levy, hostage, or truce. Offer terms you can keep and a clear answer date. I read letters twice before sealing them; parchment is cheaper than a siege.
Right, should you lead with respect or demand? I lean respect, because a proud lord hears terms better when he knows you see him. What does the hall say?
