We die with the dying:/See, they depart, and we go with them./We are born with the dead:/See, they return, and bring us with them./The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree/Are of equal duration.

"So we need to lever Mr. de Braose into the Chancellor's seat and codify the laws," Wulfstan summarizes. "And all before Richard convenes the council in a week."

"We can codify the laws without the leverage, perhaps," Andre replies. "Present them privately as a thing done to ease the work of the kingship in advance of the King going on Crusade. I might be able to speak in favor of it; the King seemed to value my insights earlier."

"In which case it had better come from you, Andre," says the Prior. "He is suspicious enough of the Canons, and the Abbot cannot compromise his impartiality."
"Save perhaps in writing a letter recommending Andre's services, provided, of course, that I get some understanding of what you intend to present to him," the Abbot adds.

"A legal code, or at least the beginnings of one," Andre replies, "following the models of William I the Conqueror and other Kings of England, and bringing together a number of legal dicta and reconciling them--and one that would, among others, reassert the rights of the Church, held of old and reaffirmed after the martyrdom of Becket--though perhaps through a less blunt reference to the last."

"And a Lord Justiciar who sees eye to eye on this issue would be a boon in the future." Giles added as he dropped a hand on Andre's shoulder. "One who understands the delicate balance between the laws of Man and God, and possesses the wisdom to fairly make the right decisions accordingly. If there is any help I can provide in the work let me know, else I will lend you my aid in the presentation to His Majesty. Together we may convince him of the rightness of it all."

"We only have a few days before the Royal Party moves on though, so time is not to waste." Giles speaks to the room. "Scriptor will compose his proposal with whatever meagre aid I can provide. You fine Canon will provide a list of your preferred candidates, as a backup plan if we cannot convince his Highness of the rightness of ecclesiastical independence in this matter. And by the Grace of God we will strive to install pious and decoted men of faith in these roles, true shepherds to guide their flocks."

"That sounds ideal," the Abbot says.
Wulfstan agrees. "Certainly the best plan I've heard so far."
