It's lunchtime. Sefora walks, slowly, through the many luxuriously appointed chambers, seeing men and women coming and going, talking and eating and drinking. She doesn't. It is strange to be outside that experience, now and forever. Even if she is fueled by magic, like the angels, like the girls back home said.

And even if she wanted to sit and speak- who would she speak to? What would she say? She's...expecting to need to flee from Cheliax before the end of the Convention, before she loses the protection she has from the Archmage. That is Valia's friend. Valia. She was- what happened to her? Could she ask?

Before she realizes what she's doing, she's- asking-

"Pardon my intrusion, honored delegate."

Oh, it's the metal woman who gave the speech about how the slander law was just going to be used to help powerful nobles! She presumably has a name but Victòria doesn't remember it. 

"Yes, what is it?"

Permalink

Oh- she's quite...she doesn't finish the thought, but Séfora feels a bit more intimidated than she felt when the woman was looking away. It's okay, though, she has an actual question to ask her.

"I'm...Séfora. Of the Western Hills. Elected." She pauses. "Were you- Select Valia's...friend?"

Oh, she's pretty sure Delegate Espino i, uh, whatever his other name is, mentioned her back before everything fell apart. She was leading a rebel group against the Asmodeans, Victòria thinks? So probably she's not asking because she's mad about the speech.

"—Yes, I am."

"Oh good. I really liked her speech. Her speeches." She wrings her hands.  "Anyway, do you know if she's all right?"

Permalink

"She went to Lastwall to learn more about being a priestess of Iomedae. And Lastwall is Good, so — I think she'll be alright." At least, she hopes so. "I sent her a letter yesterday but I haven't heard back yet. ...Which isn't really surprising, since I only sent it yesterday."

Permalink

Oh, that's good. Okay, we're done, time to walk away. "I hope so too. I- I saved her Lawyer, you know. On the day of the riots. She fell in the water." What are you talking about, Sefora?

Permalink

Right, she thinks Lluïsa might have mentioned that too during one of the floor fights with the Evil nobles, before Victòria had any idea which delegate Séfora was.

"I'm glad you saved her. She's — it's a really good thing she was there to help Valia."

Permalink

"Is- is there anyone trying to do what Valia was trying? Anymore? Do you know? It feels like the convention is being controlled by the nobles and their cronies."

Permalink

Vigorous nodding. "I — sort of. Lots of people are trying to do part of it. I'm trying to do part of it, but every time I get up to talk the nobles start acting like I was trying to get innocent people killed in the riots." She hesitates. "Me and Korva and Enric were talking after Rights yesterday about trying to get all the regular people organized. There's more of us than the nobles, we should be able to outvote them."

Permalink

"Yes!" She smiles widely, and pulls back her cowl. "Let's do it!"

 

Permalink

Nod nod! "We're still figuring out where to meet, but I'll tell you once we know for sure."

Permalink

Oh, is it time to go. Sounds like it. "Thank you! And if you think of anything you want raised in Safe Roads, please do bring them to my attention."

Permalink

"Getting rid of travel passes would be good, if none of the other committees get to it first — it came up in Rights but we've got so many rights to get to, and I heard Delegate Desnia was planning to ask Trade and Travel about it too, but if that doesn't work it's really important someone do it."

"All right." She stands up.

"See you around!"
