"Lord Balon doesn't know who Kirth is, my [lord/lady], only that you've a trusted relative spying for you. Perhaps it's time to give him some credit."
"I'll tell Balon about Kirth when all this is over."
"Rona, you raise an interesting point... but why now, of all times?"
"Kirth's reports have been rewritten and passed on for months now. This might be the last chance to put his name in before the distraction of war."
"Opportunity or not, my [lord/lady], it's never a good idea to share information you don't need to- until the battle is truly decided once and for all."
"I'll make sure Balon knows Kirth is a good and trustworthy agent."
