Simultaneously, Gaara put a hand on Duncan's shoulder, and pulled him back a bit so that hopefully he wasn't gonna punch Geród either. A 'hey I get it' shoulder hand and also a 'don't punch the guy, dude' shoulder hand.
"It is easy and righteous to get heated when blood has been spilt on your hearth, Duncan. I know this. But I'll give that advice now. We're at a diplomatic convention, and fervor does not ease the bloodshed here. Your priorities are best kept in reminding everyone of your civility in the matter as far as it can be given."
She didn't let go of the Paramount, but like, gave him a good 'calm the fuck down' pat. Sighed, considering. "That said, he speaks only rudely the same conditions and honesties the Post has held since its inception, regarding the other polities that come of our dividing, and nobody has threatened to blockade us for that. There's no Alliance precedent to suppressing an attemptedly peacable revolt. The idea that Innis Lorel sought out its liberation out of laziness and greed is unfounded, and kindly in Gundarth's honor, I'll forget it was implied, for if there were a seccession for the purpose of non-contribution, it would be an entirely different conversation. Wouldn't be tolerated. The Alliance was forged in cooperation and mutual protections, so if Innis Lorel is happy to cooperate to the needs of all as necessary, under the condition that they are to be their own in the decision, what reason is there to deny them it? Tempers flared indeed, but so far, the question of 'where does it end' has been answered with 'where we stop working together for security,' a line which Innis Lorel has not shown any intent of crossing. Acknowledging that there's been some debatable execution but some productive ideas, Rioch, Paramount, Prime Minister, I will be assisting the intermediary work that Geród has wisely proposed. It seems the sides of conflict both have one that is willing to advocate for them and is uninvolved enough to speak through in manners we can actually come to an agreement on. We take a breath, we sit down, we confer, and we get this settled so nobody has to go home to more unrest. No threatening, just un-twisting our britches and getting to work like we have all come here to do. Yes?"
