I‘m not sure what you meant, Annalaith but I thought I was very clear in pointing out that as of now (and until halfway through the game when vanquish for Dryea is almost inevitable until she is bowed off-track) everyone trusts and loves Dryea. I was even thinking that Lyra Greenleaf’s character (since I’ve noticed she’s a constant boy-snatcher [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) could mayhap be friends, upping Dryea’s reputation as just another beautiful Citadel Lady deferring all suspicions away from her at a time. I’m not sure yet how Lyra wants to develop her character so she could use Emilia’s friendship with Dryea as an opportunity to gain status or as a true friendship thingy.

I was thinking, so that it’s not completely obvious that Dryea is really just poisoned honey, that she would at first sort of avoid Finduilas--along with the other Minas Tirith crowd--just out of “jealousy” or “intimidation”. Then when they sort of start to mingle I guess, she would soften up. However, by then, Dryea would have begun to get nervous that her plan may turn out to be disastrously flawless.

That’s my beginning two cents for the plot outline.
