Macalaurës who have not yet seduced a Rebecca feel that they have been issued a challenge. They get to work on it.
He goes to Eclipse and does research. Eclipse makes him feel very uncomfortable.
They're clean, right?
Yep! They had live video feed of the whole process in case Amentans didn't trust them and wanted to verify.
She's not going to talk to the reds but she will go where they went.
Ambaróna is dense enough to be Amentan and pretty enough to be definitely Elven and has daeva everywhere and lots of singing and lots of species and a small clump of protestors against the royal family who everyone else ignores.

...the obvious thing.
She's a tourist.
They think they should have stepped down after the destruction of Valinor.
Ah.
Next?
Many! With complaints about Vanda Nossëo ranging from 'made us stop having slavery' through 'are too stingy with magic healing'.

Vanda Nossëo is quietly trying to find blues who could credibly promise to do better for Calado, let alone enough of them for it to matter.
The age limit is an issue. Older blues have mostly either invested heavily into the system or evince no interest in higher level politics.
And it'd take a very long time for younger blues to get to an age to qualify; the situation's not going to be sustainable that long.
Does the newly capable-of-speaking-in-one-voice Calado government make any moves other than blocking travel?

"I have family back home."
"Okay. Take care." Shuttlehop.
She falls into step with a tourist. "What brings you to Calado?"
"Ah, I heard the architecture is lovely."
"Not compared to the Elf stuff, surely?"
" - well, Elf architecture is different, but different isn't always better."
"Hm?"
"I think all kinds of different styles have their unique merits."
"Have you been a lot of places then?"
