"This way then." Myr said with another polite smile and began leading the way down the hall. A couple turns and three wide halls later they were at the doubles doors of the small audience hall.
"Here we are. I'll just announce you." Myr said and opening one door slid inside leaving it cracked. "The Ambassadors Amberhart and Vekia k'Leysha have arrived your majesties." Could be heard, then Myr pushed open both doors.
"Their Majesties will see you now." Myr said gesturing them in. The only occupants of the room other than the monarchs was a couple Palace Guards.

Amberhart and Vekia followed Myr as she led the way to the small audience chamber. Once there they waited patiently as Myr went inside and announced them. Then she reemerged and informed them that they would be seen now.
::You ready Vek?::
::As ready as I'll ever be Amberhart. Let's do this.::
Following that quick and silent exchange Vekia pulled herself up into the most dignified pose she could and Amberhart also seemed to draw himself up. Moving as one the pair entered the audience chamber, advanced as far as was permitted, and in perfect unity they bowed to the Monarchs.

"Welcome to Valdemar Ambassadors. We are most pleased to make your acquaintances." King Karden said with a warm smile which Queen Elena echoed.
"We are always glad to welcome new members to our court." Elena added to her husbands words. "Tell us how was your journey? You came by carry-basket correct?" She asked looking to Amberdrake on the last.

The pair straightened up, though Vekia kept to a very formal pose, and Amberhart smiled politely at the King and Queen. Inclining his head respectfully, "Thank you Your Majesty. We are most honored to meet you."
Turning then to the Queen he smiled, "Yes, we did indeed come by carry-basket. Our journey was most pleasant as we had fair weather for the journey."

"I am glad of that." Queen Elena said with another smile. "Our weather acn be so unpredicatable from region to region I had worried a bit. But I understand you are a mage Ambassador Vekia? So weather would have been negligable?" She queried next, tilting her head to one side. King Karden was also clearly curious to that answer.

Vekia focused all her attention on the Queen and nodded solemnly. "I am indeed a mage Yourrr Majessty and could indeed have dealt with any trrroublessome weatherr by hurrrying it along. Forrrtunately I was not needed forr that."
::Really!? You could actually have done that?::
::In theory I could have. Sunsong did teach me how to but I've never actually tried with any sizable storms.::
::Ah. Well I'm sure you'll have oppurtunities to try later.::

"Oh wonderful. I wonder if I might ask a favor of you? We have need of a beginning Magic teacher for one of our newest Mage trainees. Would you possibly be interested in helping?" Queen Elena asked. "Our usual beginning Magic teacher is a Herald Mage currently out on one of the Pelagir circuits. He will be back in a few months but of course a newly opened Gift can not wait that long for training and our other Magic teachers are already apprenticing as many as they can."

Vekia blinked caught totally off guard by the request. She glanced briefly at Amberhart how just cocked one eyebrow and waited. Swallowing her nerves she nodded, "I would be honorrred to help with trrraining."
::Amberhart!! I did not expect this!::
Chuckling mentally, ::Don't worry ke'chara you'll do fine. Sunsong trained you well and wouldn't have passed you if you were not ready to teach as well as practice. You know that.::
::I do but I didn't.... I mean I just... well I didn't expect to be teaching this sooooon after passing to Master.::
::Calm down Vek, you'll be fine.::

"Wonderful!" Exclaimed Karden. "We are in your debt Ambassador. It is only for a few months, of course. And all we ask is that you teach him the basics of magic. Then we can pass him on to a permanent mentor. Unless of course you both wish to remain together. I'm informed this boy, Jakkar, has the potential to be an Adept. He is also Chosen, so he will be a Herald-Mage."

Vekia breathed a mental sigh of relief when told she'd only be training the student for a few months. This she felt she could handle. Inclining her head, "It iss my pleasssure Yourr Majessty." Her beak dropped slightly open when told of the lad's potential but she quickly pulled herself together again. "He will eventually need a differrrent mentorr anyway asss I am only a Masster. But while I am needed I will trrrain him to the besst of my abilitiess."

"Ah we were unsure of your level of Mastery." Karden said with a smile. "But we are most grateful for your help in this matter. Now I'm sure you'd both like to rest a bit after your journey. It was a great pleasure meeting you both." He said.
"Please do join the court for dinner this evening if you are rested enough. We'd love to talk more." Elena added with another smile.

Both Amberhart and Vekia recognized a polite dismissal when the heard it so bowing in unison once more they back up and then exited the audience chamber.
Vekia instantly drooped slightly, "That was harrd. And we have to do that again tonight!"
Amberhart smiled at her, "You did great in there Vekia. Just wonderful."

Myr smiled slightly as she shut the double doors. "Actually dinner tonight will be a more informal affair than usual to accomodate you both if you'd like to join them. Only a few other Ambassadors and a couple of the Council members will be there. Most of our gyphons visitors do not eat with the full court in truth. I think they didn't like the stares the less polite of the nobles were not be able to help. Everyone attending tonights dinner is familiar with gryphons eating habits however and there should be no awkwardness if you wish to attend."
As she talked she began leading the way towards thier rooms. "However thier majeties can certainly understand if this is all still a bit overwhelming and exhausting and you would rather relax alone tonight. There are plenty of days to come after all to get better aquainted." Myr added.

Starshine was returning from her walk through Companion's field when she saw the Queen's own with a gryphon and another Tayledras, apparently recently arrived. Both gryphon and Tayledras were dressed in some of their finest clothing, she could tell, and wore the silver gryphon badge. She smiled at them. "Bright the day," she greeted them. "I am Starshine k'Valdemar, recently arrived ambassador."

Vekia was very relieved to hear that the dinner would be a less formal affair and she brightened up. ::What do you think Amberhart? Go or not go?::
::Hmm. I think it might be best if we went. Give them a chance to see us before they start making up wild stories.::
::Good idea. Do you think they'll have fish?:: That last was said with a definate plaintive tone and Amberhart couldn't help but chuckle.
That settled Amberhart replied for both of them, "I believe we will attend tonight's dinner. It will give us a good chance to meet some of the other Ambassadors in a less formal situation as well as give them an oppurtunity to see us."
Vekia glanced at him meaingfully with silent pleading as well as a mental, ::Fish!?::
::Why don't you ask her yourself silly.::
Vekia turned to look straight at Myr and inquired politely, "I wasss wonderrring if fisssh wass on the menu forr tonight?"
Just then Amberhart spotted Starshine and smiled broadly. "Bright the day Starshine. I am Amberhart k'Leshya."
This time Vekia introduced herself, "And I am Vekia k'Lesshya. We have only jusst arrrived asss Ambasssadorrrss ourrsselvess."
