It was a lovely Leafchange day in Torchline; sunny and temperate with a light breeze, neither too hot nor too cold, and with a few cloudwyrms puffing small, fluffy cloudlets above the Court of Stars in a game of twisting tag. Notices had been posted around Haulani and the Underwater City, requesting attendance at a meeting for Torchers on a matter of civic improvement.
Which was not, perhaps, the most exciting of taglines but it was accurate enough.
Hadama waited in the canal in front of the Court, his tail swaying in the water with just enough force to hold his position. He held his upper body out of the starlight surface so he could comfortably see those who were beginning to gather and the sun gleamed on his golden tattoos and the silver armband around one thick bicep, etched with constellations. Steely hair with a metallic sheen was held back from his brow by a simple silver band inset with an emerald the color of his eyes. As usual, he seemed content to embody the idea that shirts were not a requirement for royalty.
"Do you think many will come?" he murmured quietly to the nearby Queen, tilting a curious glance towards Flora while they waited for enough people to arrive to fulfill Safrin's commission.
