Oh yes it will.

Her professional assessment is that Men have settled on an excellent first Queen. King Finrod of Nargothrond, who is present, agrees. She entertains him over tea and expresses her complimentary opinions of Illia. He expresses an earnest desire to meet her himself.

Well, this is her coronation, that shouldn't be hard to arrange.

"King Finrod," she greets him. "I've heard much about you."

"LIkewise! This is a lovely city and I hope a wise enterprise. I am delighted that we'll have a kingdom with a mortal queen!"

So the question is did that sound condescending because she was primed for Finrod to be condescending or because is actually was? Not important, she has to be polite regardless.

"It seems like a precedent that needed to be set."

"It must be a great deal of weight on your shoulders, all the people looking to you for precedent."

"I wasn't planning to do anything that would disappoint them regardless."

"Not disappointing anyone is rather the unattainable dream of kings and queens."

"Well, then it does me no good to allow myself to be crushed by the expectation."

"Indeed. The people of Beor are good people and it is very much my desire to see them well governed."

"So I am discovering!"

"What's the legal code look like so far?"

She starts describing it in broad strokes.

He has suggestions. He has lots of suggestions.

She listens to his suggestions politely and takes discreet notes for later review. Presumably at least some of them are worthwhile.

"And is there anything you have noticed you need help with?"

...Fuck you. No, think of something less diplomatic-incident-causing than that.

"Oh, I'm sure things wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly if I didn't have Andreth's help. She's a godsend, she really is."

"I was so delighted to hear she'd survived and that your magic could improve her health!"

"My magic is amazingly versatile! Especially the more powerful one gets. Of course, Odette is much better at it than I am."

"I know! We have all been working hard to master it ourselves."

"Good. We're all going to need as many mages as we can get."

"Oh, does the plan involve multiple ones? I was under the impression you were merely hoping Odette could eventually develop the capacity to do it herself."

"Well, ultimately, almost certainly, but we have to survive that long, and Odette can only be in one place at a time."

"And that somewhere is going to be mostly here, yes?"

"Mostly, yes."
