Probably more often than he'd like, but she is happy to shake this Zenos' hand. His question takes her aback-- she wasn't going to talk about the possibility of an alliance, but she's willing to tell him in some hopes it might help back on his star.

"We're... trying, on that front. Garlemald on my star is in ruins due to civil war -- not just the one that happened after Solus died, but Varis, too." The one Zenos is responsible for, but she doesn't say as much right now. Pahja runs a hand through her hair, ears drooping slightly. "Your citizens do not trust us, as we came to your nation at its lowest. And you Garleans are so full of pride." Not an insult, but a statement of fact. "But we have devised a means to resist tempering for those without the Echo. And to reverse it!"

That's good news, right?
