Attolia's not one to be goaded into dangerous behaviour by unctuous diplomats. I liked the visual of the poodle biting the boot. No doubt the dropped tea startled him, but if he could have understood the contents of the letter, I think he would have done something similar without the shattering cup. It was a poisonous letter after all.
