There was little to do but wait for the Dragoon to arrive and fill them in on the evidence against one of their own. Perhaps it had been a simple misunderstanding or case of mistaken identity...
But the mermanta doubted the earnest young soldier from Stormbreak would have approached them without being certain a serious crime had been committed. Serious enough to warrant an inter-regional meeting.
Though the fact that it hadn't occurred within Stormbreak's jurisdiction was another point to consider.
Regardless, the day of the meeting arrived, sunny and cool (for Torchline, at least; the locals were wearing light sweaters and long pants, though the tourists still lounged around in short sleeves or even swimwear), and within the Court of Stars' garden Hadama rested within the pool of water beside the Healing fountain, using a stylus to scratch a few quick notes into a wax tablet for the upcoming meeting.
