(Malloriel, Jakkar, Myr and Nora)
"Ahh Mindspeech. I see, I didn't realise the Shin'a'in tended to have the other Gifts. How nice to learn something new." Nora said with a smile just as a knock sounded on her door. "Come in Myr!" She called.
Myr opened the door and motioned Jakkar to follow her in. "Nora this is Jakkar."
"Hello Jakkar. I'm Nora, the Housekeeper here. This is Malloriel." She said having switched to Valdemaran. "She speaks Common Trade tongue but doens't know Valdemaran yet." Nora added and then switched languages again.
"Malloriel this is Jakkar, and the Monarch's Own Herald Myr." Nora said with a smile.
"Greetings Malloriel. I am pleased to make your aquaintence." Myr said in the trade tongue.

Grinning, "Stick around us long enough and you'll learn all sorts of things."
Malloriel turned at the knock on the door and watched as Myr and Jakkar entered. Nora said something to them that she didn't understand but she figured it was probably introductions.
Her guess was proven right as Nora then turned to her and introduced the other two using Common. She was rather surprised at the identity of the other woman but hopefully managed to hide her reaction. Nodding and smiling politely, "Greetings. It is nice to meet you Myr and Jakkar." She glanced over at Nora, not quiet sure what to do now.

(OOC going to place this the day After the other arrivals since you placed it as early afternoon and they are already beyond that.)
(Myr, Vekia, Amberhart)
Monarch's Own Myr hurried from the meeting she had been in to welcome the newly arrived Ambassadors from k'Leysha. Arriving at the correct courtyard she manged to suppress any facial reaction to the pair's matching looks. "Greetings I am Myr, the Monarch's Own." She said as she approached. "I am most pleased to make your acquaintance." She added. She then nodded to Shay who bowed to them all and turning on her heel in parade fashion went back out of the courtyard the way she had come in.
"You'll have to forgive my tardiness, we hadn't expected you till later in the day and had thought you would land out by the gates. It is fortunate we were expecting you." Myr said with a smile. "Else your reception would not have gone so smoothly I fear." She added.

They didn't have to wait very long before they saw someone hurring out to meet them. Vekia instantly assumed a more dignifed pose. ::You take the lead here Amberhart.::
Suppressing a smile at Vekia's change of posture, ::Good idea. Here goes.::
Smiling, "Greetings Myr. It is an honor to meet you. I am Amberhart k'Leshya, Trondi'irn in the Silver Gryphons and this is my partner Vekia k'Leshya, Master level mage." He decided to leave out how new that status truly was as he was not certain of the ladies possible reaction.
Vekia inclined her head, "It iss an honorrr to meet you."
Politely waveing off Myr's apologies, "That is quiet alright. We are indeed ahead of schedule and should have sent ahead that we might be early."
He was rather surprised to realize they'd landed in the wrong spot. "I apoligize for throwing you off. We didn't really know where we were supposed to land and this looked like the best spot."

(Jakkar, Nora, Myr, Mallorial)
"Hello, Mallorial," Jakkar stumbled in Common. He had learned it a little bit, for obvious reasons. He was a merchants son anyway.
"Is this where I get tested?" Jakkar asked Myr.

(Myr, Amberhart, Vekia)
"Ah well most gryphons prefer to land in the large clear area between the front of the main palace and the wall." Myr said. "It's the largest clearing without horses, except Companions Field and while they don't mind, our few gryphon visitors and residents usually avoid it out of respect." Myr added with a dismissive shrug. "Still you're here now and all's well." She said smiling.
"Now if you'll come with me. This set of doors should accommodate you Master Vekia." Myr said pointing to a pair of double doors opposite where she had come from. "It's bit round about from here but we can be to the small audience chamber within a few minutes. The Monarchs will be expecting you." It was clear the pair were already in full formal dress so Myr assumed that showing them to their suite could wait until afterward, besides from here the small audience chamber was practically on the way...

(Jakkar, Myr, Malloriel, Nora)
"Ah no Jakkar, here is where I take my leave, I've another meeting in less than a candlemark. Nora will get you uniforms and a chore schedule then she'll place you both in rooms and take you to see the Dean. The Dean handles testing. After that your day will be free to spend as you like." Myr replied with a smile.
"Now remember, both of you, anytime you have need of me you have only to ask." She said to them, repeating herself in Common for Malloriel. "And I really do mean that." She added with a smile and then with a nod to Nora she left.
"Well now. Jakkar is it? Good let's get you some uniforms... One moment." Nora said and vanished into the still open supply room door behind her. A moment later she reappeared with a stack of clothes.
"There are two sizes there, see which will suit you best." She said and set the pile on the third guest chair in the room, Malloriel and her pile of uniforms occupying the other two.

Jakkar sized them up and handed one pair back to Nora.
"This one doesn't fit. The other one does," Jakkar stated. "Whose the Dean?"

Vekia inspected the door and nodded, "Yess, that doorr will accomidate me jusst fine."
Amberhart nodded politely, "Lead the way then. I would not wish to keep their Majesties waiting overlong."
He could sense his partner's nervousness and sent calm her way, ::There's no need to be nervous ke'chara. You look stunning and I'm sure you'll do just fine.::
With that the followed Myr through the Palace towards the small audience chamber.

(Amberhart, Vekia and Myr)
As they entered the building two of the older pages were awaiting them. "These pages will take anything you like to your rooms now rather than you having to cart them about. I've asked the Guards to have your carry-basket taken to a room we keep for magical apparatus like that, if that is suitable?" Myr said as she turned to them both once more.

(Nora, Jakkar, Malloriel)
Nora took the ill fitting set of clothes and headed back into the storeroom for a couple more sets in the right size. "The Dean currently is Herald Marek. He's also the Historian. He's kind of a fill in right now since our previous Dean retired, though who knows how long he'll actually have to fill to position." Nora called back over her shoulder as she dug out more clothes.
"Here we are three sets ought to do you for now." She said as she came back in holding out two more uniform sets to Jakkar. She then repeated what she had told Jakkar about the Dean in Common for Malloriel.
"Now what chores are you used to doing Jakkar?" She asked the young man as she sat behind her desk once more and pulled out another blank sheet like the one she had filled out for Malloriel only a moment earlier.

(Jakkar, Nora, Malloriel)
Jakkar took the uniforms gratfully. "Well," Jakkar started. "I usually worked on sewing stuff like leather or silk. It was the only way I could do something without being yelled at, but that was only because my parents never found me there. Other than that I don't know how to do much else."

(Nora, Jakkar, Malloriel)
"A boy for the mending room! Wonderful! I've not had a boy good at that in my sewing room for at least three seasons. Not since the last went off on Internship." Nora exclaimed with what could be interpreted as glee.
"So a goodly rotation of the other chores as well of course." She then looked to Malloriel again and switched back to Common. "Jakkar will be joining us in the mending chores." She informed the other girl with a grin. "Now we're done here if you'll follow me." She added and stood. Malloriel also stood and collected her pile of uniforms.
"This way Jakkar, let's get you both settled in rooms then on to the Dean." Nora added in Valdemaran and headed out of her room. "Oh and see me later for boot measurements." She added over her shoulder, "You're boots are both fine for now so we can forgo that for the time being." Since neither was from the much poorer classes that frequently ended up in Heralds Nora saw no reason to worry about boots right now. She then repeated herself in Common for Malloriel who nodded, agreeing with the fair assessment.
Leading the way upstairs Nora went down the hall to the inner set of stairs closest to them. "Boys side is up here." She said to Jakkar. Then to Malloriel. "This is the boys side, please wait here and I'll be back in a moment. Classes are out right now if you'd like to take a looksee into the rooms." She said in Common then motioned Jakkar to follow her upstairs to the second floor.
Malloriel nodded and looked about herself curiously as Nora vanished up the stairs.
((OOC: teensy bit of posing there, Erin is currently stuck offline with comp problems and this gets Malloriel out of the RP for at least a few posts. Hopefully she'll be back quickly.))

Malloriel continued to glance around her and then started poking her head into random rooms to see what they looked like. ::I really need to learn Valdemaran quickly. Having people translate for me continually is getting ridiculous.::
Mental snort, ::You'll learn quickly enough once you start Chosen so don't worry.::
Shrugging mentally, ::Not really worried per se just reallizing how tedious having someone switch between the two lanuages is for all concerned. I'd really rather spare someone from that as soon as possible.::
Exploring one of the classrooms she quickly stuck her head out the door to make sure they hadn't come back yet, saw no one and went back to her exploring.

Entering the building they noticed to waiting pages and listened as Myr talked. Glancing briefly at eachother, ::What do you think?::
From Vekia, ::Perfectly fine with me Amberhart.::
Turning back to Myr, "That is perfectly suitable Myr." They quickly handed over their bags to the pages and continued on.
