"Not sure, maybe Yfandes can ask. I've been wondering if Rolan saw it coming. Yfandes said he was on board with this meeting right away, she was surprised, but also he seemed weird about it. Then again he's weird about a lot of things, so..." Shrug. "Who knows." 

"Rolan frustrates me." Sigh.

:I think Rolan is objectively frustrating: Amshalan, listening through her ears, contributes helpfully. 

:Then it's very sensible of me to be frustrated! I hope he eventually pokes whoever it is, and they tell him to stop being frustrating:

:We can hope. At this point I don't know what it'll take to get him to decide it's important and urgent enough. The sky falling, maybe: 

:Randi dropping dead in the middle of this meeting? Immediately followed by another invasion:

:...Eeep? How about not that, actually, I'd rather cope with him being incessantly frustrating: 

:The sky falling would also be bad, most really urgent things are:

:Maybe it could fall metaphorically. In some way that only upsets him: Sigh. :Or we can hope that the non-emergencies start to add up: 

There are definite people-footsteps happening in the bigger meeting hall. 

Vanyel winces slightly. 

Belrun steps out to see who's there.

So many Heralds are there!

Tantras nods to her. His smile is very muted but it's definitely more in the 'smile' direction than the 'scowl' direction. 

Randi acknowledges her briefly but mostly seems distracted. 

Shavri has a warmer, though tired-looking, smile for Belrun. She is also ushering someone else behind them. Someone very short. 

"Treven?" she guesses.

"You must be Belrun!" He comes up to her. Bows, very correctly. "I am so honoured to meet you. Is Leareth here too?" 

(Leareth is still talking with Vanyel in the side room.) 

"Yes, just over there. It's nice to meet you too."

"Thank you for coming such a long way to meet with us!" 

"I'm not the one who has to do the Gate! It's like going for a turn around the block once that's handled."

"I suppose so." He bounces slightly. "We came through a Gate too, Savil did it. I had never been through a Gate before this! You must've been through lots though." 

"It has come up for me a lot, yes. You get used to them."

Leareth comes out a little while later, it only slightly looks like he's dragging a reluctant Vanyel in his wake. He politely greets Treven as well. 

Treven seems a lot shyer with Leareth, and is almost painfully polite to him.
