Losi met Miresa, Bradlin, and Arune at the door of the Seer's lodge. "Welcome--her Ladyship is expecting you."
"Now remember, Arune--while we are here mainly for a meal, also remember we are also here to discuss our options now that we know Miresa has been chosen as the Sixth Gemsinger." Bradlin whispered to the fairy on Miresa's shoulder as Losi led the group past the foyer and into the dining room, where Galia, now clad in a royal blue and purple robe rather than the ornately decorated Seer's robe, was waiting.
"Your guests have come, my lady." Losi began, clasping her hands together as she entered the room. Miresa, Bradlin, and Arune did likewise and held the reverent pose for a few seconds, awaiting the elf's response.
After a few tense seconds, Galia also clasped her hands together and pointed them at the group. "Welcome, all of you--our meal is both festive and tense tonight."
"How can a meal be both festive and tense?" Arune asked, puzzled.
"We're all eating with the Seer, which is a special occasion, and at the same time, Lady Galia likely has information about why my heart now shines with all twelve colors of magia." Miresa explained as Losi led the group around the left end of the table, past the guest of honor's chair and her mistress' seat to a chair at the middle. "Mind your manners, too." she added. Arune nodded and ran a finger across the chimes she always carried, summonng a miniature copy of the chair her Other was seated in on the table, right down to the inlay work of jewel studded vines and flowers.
