		+	===Chitara Seeks Out Help From Nik===
		+
		+	Chitara: So, the expo is still in full swing, but the 'main event' entertainment is over and people are free to just enjoy the booths and the recurring entertainment on the small stage. Chitara, now freed up from some of the host duties, takes a moment to find Nik. "Hey, can I borrow you for a sec?"
		+
		+	Nik: Oh, of course!
		+
		+	Chitara: waves for Nik to follow her, heading for a quieter corner
		+
		+	I just... need to tell you something important.
		+
		+	Nik: oh? What is it?
		+
		+	Nik: asks as he joins you somewhere a bit less busy
		+
		+	Chitara: speaking quietly
		+
		+	You're going with your husband to be to Akhas, still, yes? Any idea where specifically?
		+
		+	Nik: Ebemar.
		+
		+	Nik: I'm excited to see it in person!
		+
		+	Chitara: nods
		+
		+	And I... might not get back for a long time. I am going to be honest, I hadn't expected to actually marry over here, so I didn't prepare as well as I should have.
		+
		+	Nik: Oh, but surely you and your new husband will visit, at least? I would hope you could show me around and see all the sights 🙂
		+
		+	Chitara: I'm sure we will. But I need to pass on some important information to someone who's going to live there. Something too sensitive to entrust to the post.
		+
		+	Nik: Oh?
		+
		+	Nik: looks curious at that
		+
		+	Chitara: I never could find a way to tell you in our letters, but... there's a lot of people in Akhas who are... very unhappy with slavery, and some of us have stepped up to do something about it. I thought... I could pass what I know on to you, so that while you're there you can help.
		+
		+	Nik: 's eyes widen
		+
		+	Nik: Me? I... I wouldn't know what to do. Of course I'd want to help, but I won't know anyone there...
		+
		+	Chitara: That's what I'm saying. I can tell you where and how to make contact to get involved. They always need all the help they can get.
		+
		+	Nik: Well... if you think I can, then I'll give it a try.
		+
		+	Chitara: I know you can. You're clever and resourceful, and you'll be a foreigner. People think foreigners are just weird, it's a good way to get away with things.
		+
		+	winks
		+
		+	Nik: smiles at that
		+
		+	Nik: I'll do my best.
		+
		+	Chitara: smiles back
		+
		+	You'll do great. Now, there's a particular book store in town...

		+	===Nik Talks With Coifárë and Katherina===
		+
		+	Nik: can bump into Coifare and Kitty while wandering the grounds.
		+
		+	Nik: (we can say Lamont is off negotiating a price for that tapestry or whatever 😉
		+
		+	Katherina: Nik! Oh wonderful to see you! :D
		+
		+	Coifárë: smiles at Nik.
		+
		+	Nik: Oh, hello! I was hoping I'd get to see you today 🙂
		+
		+	Coifárë: Always nice to see you, of course, and be seen.
		+
		+	Coifárë: How are you enjoying the exposition?
		+
		+	Katherina: And where is you fiancé? :D :D
		+
		+	Nik: It's been delightful so far! And Lamont is off... buying a tapestry I think?
		+
		+	Nik: He is in the process of redecorating and I told him it would be quite perfect for the hall.
		+
		+	Coifárë: Oh, I can't wait to see it. They have so many wonderful designs.
		+
		+	Katherina: Ooooh, fancy!
		+
		+	Nik: I think it will be lovely.
		+
		+	Nik: Perhaps we can have a dinner party once things are all finished and you can see the new decor 😄
		+
		+	Katherina: oooh! yes, you definitely should. And invite me. And my sister and her beau.... :3
		+
		+	Coifárë: You have plenty of people who'd love to celebrate with you.
		+
		+	Nik: well, I say 'we'... it is not strictly my place to host at Lamont's home. Yet, at least... but we are looking at a summer wedding, so not too much longer.
		+
		+	Coifárë: grins.
		+
		+	Coifárë: Can't wait, hmm?
		+
		+	Nik: Well... our main reason for delay is now no longer a concern, so ... why wait?
		+
		+	Katherina: Oh that's so romantic though. :3
		+
		+	Nik: Yes, it will be quite a rush to get things prepared, but I've decided to re-purpose a family outfit instead of having something made entirely new for the occasion, so that will save some time at least.
		+
		+	Coifárë: frowns.
		+
		+	Coifárë: That's really sweet, Nik, but you should have something that's yours, specifically.
		+
		+	Katherina: Oh yes, that's sweet but you do need somethign for you!
		+
		+	Coifárë: Though I suppose it would be your something borrowed...
		+
		+	Coifárë: Maybe we can get you some nice accessories, if there's not enough time for a full outfit?
		+
		+	Nik: Well, I think it shall be altered and made to suit me, at least. I imagine I will need a different outfit for the reception afterwards as well, and perhaps that can be something totally new 🙂
		+
		+	Coifárë: There we go. Got to make a splash with your new husband and all.
		+
		+	Nik: Having a traditional outfit for the ceremony, with some new accessories and modern touches, and then something else for later...
		+
		+	Nik: ponders this
		+
		+	Nik: Well... I trust it will all come together in due course.
		+
		+	Katherina: Oh, Vinnie's head is all in wedding planning too, it's about all she can think of, and it is si much fun! So you know I'm happy to help and offer advice to you as well ^-^
		+
		+	Coifárë: And for even later? ;)
		+
		+	Katherina: You'll be so handsome together though, no matter what you wear :3
		+
		+	Nik: chuckles
		+
		+	Coifárë: Maybe something special for that, as well?
		+
		+	Nik: Well, perhaps! I think Lamont will look handsome no matter what, of course.
		+
		+	Katherina: ooooh yes you must have a special outfit for your wedding night >:D
		+
		+	Nik: blushes at that
		+
		+	Nik: Of course 🙂
		+
		+	Katherina: Hmmm, maybe some nice ribbon he can untie?
		+
		+	Katherina: What do you think?
		+
		+	Katherina: looks to Coifare
		+
		+	Coifárë: Oh, yes, something sheer, a bit diaphanous...make it fun to take off.
		+
		+	Nik: I'm sure there will be something... suitable 🙂
		+
		+	Nik: sighs slightly
		+
		+	Nik: I don't know when I'll have time for writing again, with everything else that is going on. Perhaps it's for the best, though.
		+
		+	Katherina: No, you can't say that :o
		+
		+	Coifárë: What?!
		+
		+	Nik: Well, I had a meeting with my editor, and she was quite dismayed that I didn't have anything new for her, and expressed that they could just find someone else to write further volumes under my pen name. So...
		+
		+	Nik: shrugs slightly
		+
		+	Coifárë: Nik, you have to keep writing. We need to find out what happened to Lady Jasmere's sister!
		+
		+	Katherina: WHAT
		+
		+	Coifárë: Well, if that's how they feel, you can take your talents elsewhere!
		+
		+	Coifárë: Hmph!
		+
		+	Katherina: Who is this editor, I'll make them have regrets for suggesting such a thing!
		+
		+	Nik: She somewhat retracted her statements later, but it was a bit disheartening to know that I could be so easily replaced.
		+
		+	Katherina: You are irreplaceable. I doubt anyone could believably copy your prose, it's so exquisite... 😍
		+
		+	Nik: Oh, you're kind to say so...
		+
		+	Coifárë: I'm sure it was just a heavy-handed negotiating tactic or some such. When art becomes business, ugh.
		+
		+	Coifárë: But Kitty's right. You should keep writing, Nik, you're very talented.
		+
		+	Nik: I don't have any good ideas at the moment, but I suppose there has just been so much happening, it's been difficult to find the time to sit and write. When I had nothing else to do, it was much easier!
		+
		+	Nik: But as you said, there is still the unresolved issue with Lady Jasmere's sister... perhaps there's something to be done with that, as the start of another book...
		+
		+	Katherina: Oh are you telling me that handsome fiancé of yours has given you no inspiration? is he doing something wrong? ^_6
		+
		+	Nik: no, he certainly has >.> I only mean, if it's a choice between writing and doing, well... let's say one has more immediate benefits. But I know he is bound to be quite busy with his new appointment, so that will probably allow me time to work as well.
		+
		+	Coifárë: His new appointment?
		+
		+	Coifárë: So it's settled about Ahkas?
		+
		+	Nik: Well, it is still a bit hush-hush, I think. But yes, I believe it is resolved.
		+
		+	Nik: I'm quite excited at the prospect!
		+
		+	Katherina: What's this?
		+
		+	Katherina: I can be swordn to proper secrecy you know :x
		+
		+	Katherina: I even took vows about it but I can't tell yo what they are ^_6
		+
		+	Nik: We shall be travelling to Ahkas for Lamont's work.
		+
		+	Katherina: Oooh! Exciting.
		+
		+	Nik: He is undertaking some of his uncle's former responsibilities, and... well, I wanted to accompany him 🙂
		+
		+	Coifárë: smiles.
		+
		+	Katherina: Oooooh I'm so happy for you! Truly.
		+
		+	Coifárë: I'll be there to make sure you don't get too bored, of course, but we can both work on our art.
		+
		+	Nik: Yes, indeed 😄
		+
		+	Nik: And Kitty, you ought to come and visit!
		+
		+	Katherina: !!! Of course :D
		+
		+	Coifárë: It'll be an adventure. 🙂

		+	===Leonora Invites Nik and Lamont To Nachtur===
		+
		+	Leonora: tracks down Nik and Lamont after talking to Nabari.
		+
		+	Nik: and Lamont are admiring the drakes ;)
		+
		+	Nik: People really ride them? Even the huge ones?
		+
		+	Lamont: nods
		+
		+	Leonora: comes up to you.
		+
		+	Leonora: They're remarkable, aren't they.
		+
		+	Lamont: I remember Iwanted one, when I was much younger
		+
		+	Nik: Well, maybe you can have one! Is it much like a horse, in temperament?
		+
		+	Nik: asks uncertainly
		+
		+	Lamont: shakes off his wistful loook to smile at Leonora
		+
		+	Nik: will turn to Leonora, though, and smile and bow politely.
		+
		+	Lamont: Good afternoon, lady Leonora
		+
		+	Leonora: I bet they're a terror to clean up after.
		+
		+	Lamont: and horses can be a challenge in that regard too. I don't think the very large ones tend to be kept by individuals
		+
		+	Lamont: If I am properly recalling my schoolboy reading
		+
		+	Leonora: Very impressive overall. A fine way to end a very successful season, wouldn't you agree?
		+
		+	Nik: It feels like things are only just beginning, but it has been very successful, yes 🙂
		+
		+	Nik: gives Lamont's hand a squeeze
		+
		+	Lamont: nods in agreement
		+
		+	Lamont: also smiles at that, squeezing back
		+
		+	Leonora: I wanted to inquire, as I know you will be very busy with your planning, when we might hope to host you in Nachtur sometime soon?
		+
		+	Nik: glances to Lamont
		+
		+	Lamont: nods
		+
		+	Lamont: I think.... after he wedding?
		+
		+	Leonora: Of course. Has a date been set for that yet?
		+
		+	Nik: It will be in the summer, we have settled on that at least. So not too far.
		+
		+	Leonora: Good, good.
		+
		+	Lamont: nods
		+
		+	Leonora: Well you need your time, of course. But I know Magga has been looking to show off our estate for some time, as have I of course.
		+
		+	Lamont: unless you are seaking of a purely social visit, i thought it would be best to wait until there could be no question as to the authority of the contracts
		+
		+	Leonora: Well a social visit would be welcome, of course, but ... yes, the contractual matter must really be the priority.
		+
		+	Lamont: nods
		+
		+	Lamont: hopefully it can be a little of both. I certainly look forward to seeing the estate
		+
		+	Nik: nods
		+
		+	Leonora: Naturally! Have you been to Nachtur before?
		+
		+	Lamont: I have not, no.
		+
		+	Nik: I'm also looking forward to seeing the sights 🙂 Ah, presuming I am invited, that is.
		+
		+	Leonora: Of course you're invited!
		+
		+	Leonora: I know that this is all a bit unorthodox, but I assure you that nothing matters more to me, and to Magga, than ensuring that everyone is comfortable, and agreeable.
		+
		+	Nik: Very well. I'm glad to hear that!
		+
		+	Leonora: I think we shall all become the best of friends.
		+
		+	Lamont: Yes, I believe so as well
		+
		+	Leonora: Well, then, I will ensure all the arrangements are made - after the wedding, of course.

		+	===Leonora Tells Akan He is Not The Father===
		+
		+	Josh: (How do you want to set this up?)
		+
		+	Leonora: will track down Akan Nabari in the crowd. She's carrying a bag full of something in one hand, and waves to him with the other.
		+
		+	Leonora: Akan! There you are!
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Lady Wengal, hello! How nice to see you.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Enjoying the festivities?
		+
		+	Leonora: Yes, quite. I hope it accomplishes the goals that the Akhasic delegation aims at.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: It certainly seems to be drumming up excitement.
		+
		+	Leonora: Here, I got these for you.
		+
		+	Leonora: hands over the bag.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Oh? You shouldn't have.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: will look in the bag.
		+
		+	Leonora: It's just some biscuits. I had some myself and I couldn't resist picking a few extra up.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: So you've already had your fill, and it won't be rude of me to tuck in?
		+
		+	Leonora: Not at all, please, go ahead!
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: will take one out and take a bite.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Delicious. To what do I owe the honor?
		+
		+	Leonora: Well, as we are at the last event of the season, I wanted to check in with you. I trust your injuries have all healed well?
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: I'm well, thank you for asking. Not so young as I once was, but still managing. And you and Lord Wengal? Well, I hope?
		+
		+	Leonora: Yes, very well, thank you. Magga's around here somewhere. You'd think given his height it would be impossible to lose him in a crowd. I assure you, not so.
		+
		+	Leonora: But I'm glad I found you, in any case.
		+
		+	Leonora: I was going to write, if I didn't see you, but that seemed rather too impersonal.
		+
		+	Leonora: It's regarding the piece of business that I raised with you.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: looks curious.
		+
		+	Leonora: I wanted to let you know what a privilege it has been to get to know you, and even to fight beside you, albeit under such grave circumstances.
		+
		+	Leonora: But at the moment, Magga and I have made a different choice.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Well, I can't say I don't feel some disappointment at that, but, truly, I'm glad to know you've found a suitable...partner?
		+
		+	Leonora: Thank you. Yes, we've found the match we agree is best for us.
		+
		+	Leonora: It was not an easy decision, by any means.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: Thank you for saying so, but my ego doesn't need soothing, I assure you. It is an honor just to be considered, as they say. 😉
		+
		+	Leonora: It really has been a pleasure to get to know you, Akan. When you're next in Nachtur, do please come by and enjoy our hospitality. We may even have a backyard incurson one evening, though those are less often than they used to be.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: smiles.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: I'll be sure to call upon when I'm next in Nachtur. Perhaps my family can host you as well sometime, here in Highmark if not in Yondon.
		+
		+	Leonora: We would be honoured.
		+
		+	Leonora: Until then, Akan.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: nods.
		+
		+	Akan Nabari: I look forward to it. And thank you again for the biscuits. Delicious.

		+

		+

		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Beautiful.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: The scarves are nice, too. 😉
		+
		+	Rosalie: laughs, delighted
		+
		+	Hello there, I wondered when you would make it.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Lots going on at the War Office right now, sorry.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: I hope I haven't left you completely bereft. 🙂
		+
		+	Rosalie: Oh not at all. I ran into my mother for a bit, and we had a nice chat. And I was able to relay my congratulations to Nik and Lamont.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Oh, that's nice on both counts. Hopefully I can run into them to pay my respects and offer congratulations, respectively.
		+
		+	Rosalie: nods
		+
		+	I believe they are very well suited. I shall have to get them a lovely wedding gift.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: nods.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Is that what you're looking for here?
		+
		+	Rosalie: Oh, no, they're going to be traveling soon, from what I hear, they'll have enough of their own exotic goods.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Right, I heard his unit is likely to be deployed soon. Nik's going with, then?
		+
		+	Rosalie: I would assume?
		+
		+	Rosalie: I would not wish to be separated from my other half, if I were traveling...
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: I would...prefer to avoid it as well.
		+
		+	Rosalie: That being said, I was given the opportunity to travel a bit...
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Oh?
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: asks a bit hesitantly.
		+
		+	Rosalie: nods
		+
		+	I don't know what your plans are, but...well, I don't wish to leave you for too long.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Where were you thinking of traveling?
		+
		+	Rosalie: Ebemar?
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: For how long?
		+
		+	Rosalie: Well, there are no firm plans as of yet. It's all in the early planning stages. And of course, I want to wait until after my brother marries.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: nods.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: But, when you do go...
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: I mean, I could wrangle with the War Office, and my House, with this new agreement with Ebemar, we'll be sending people...
		+
		+	Rosalie: looks hopeful
		+
		+	So, you could be there,too. With me?
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: If that's where you're going, I'll do everything in my power to be there too.
		+
		+	Rosalie: smiles brightly
		+
		+	That makes me...very happy.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Well, I'm going to do my best to keep that the case.
		+
		+	Juno Morticia Auspex: Because you make me very happy as well.
		+
		+	Rosalie: looks around, then gives Juno a quick kiss
		+
		+	Good. I am very, very happy
