"At the time there were only eleven of them. I haven't asked if he still means to hold us to it."

"Even eleven is very impressive. The Minister of Diplomats speaks only seven, three not fluently."

"When I was his age I could not yet claim to be competent with one. Elves have longer. Though hopefully not anymore."

Liatsi smiles. "Hopefully."

And he shows her how to get Minor with a circle - "don't do this to get a random daeva, it's not a safe binding..."

"Understood." She draws it up very carefully.

Minor isn't currently dismissed, let alone Polyjuiced. He writes him asking him to come over. "Might be a little while."

"That's all right."

And shortly thereafter there appears a demon who looks like Cam. He nods at Bright and Liatsi. "This is a practice run?"

"That's right. Hello, I'm Queen Liatsi of Cefax, it's good to meet you. I'm not sure how to pronounce your name...?"

"Minor. Good to meet you too."

"How did you meet Prince Nelyafinwë?"

"Uh, I think that's classified?" He looks questioningly at Bright.

"Minor was human and died, on a different world, and his is one of the ones we are endeavoring to fix."

"Yeah."

"Oh, I see. It's good that you were reached in time," she smiles. "Thank you for agreeing to participate in the ceremony. Do you want to design your own fireworks display or should I have someone produce that?"

"I can definitely design a fancy fireworks display but if there's someone I should work with to get it themed right or whatever I can do that."

"An exotic one will be fine but my Minister of Culture thinks it should have a lot of gold and white in it for symbolic reasons - health and time."

"Sure. How long do you want it?"

"Ten to fifteen minutes, I think."

"Do you have a computer, I can work up a simulation of what it'll look like and you can watch it in advance..."

"Yes, I have one, although I'm not very familiar with it yet."

"Is it Bright's world's tech?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll send you a fireworks show in advance and you can make sure you like how it looks."
