The white sheep of the family
Loren had definitely not been expecting that he would have to be diplomatic, since he had planned to let Remi do all the talking. However, the only sign of the Launceleyn’s surprise was a slight widening of his eyes before his training took over and he swept into a bow as deep as he’d given any royal. Even if he rejected much of his family’s teachings and legacy, it still came in handy sometimes. ”Greetings, fair ones, and I apologize for my uninvited intrusion into your lands. You have my solemn word that I mean no harm to you and yours.” All the summoner was going off of was half-remembered etiquette lessons and his meeting with the Fae Jiao. But she had responded well to flattery and expressed displeasure at how the people of the Hollowed Grounds had carried the blight to the Greatwood, so he figured some praise and some promises to remain peaceful within their borders would go a long way.
Straightening up, he clasped his hands behind his back. ”As my companion indicated, we have information that might be of some interest to your leaders and your people. There is a bird within our lands, called the Spark Bird, that proved to be decisive in driving away the monsters last LongNight with its magical light. We have discovered that I am capable of summoning the bird with my magic. I wished to demonstrate the spell to those among you with similar abilities so that they might summon it themselves, or, if not, store the spell in any artifacts you might possess with the ability to hold magic. Remi was kindly enough to escort me to your lands” Seeing as the alchemist could make such amulets and that Amalia had a shield that could hold spells, Loren figured the Fae might have something similar even if they didn't have any summoners.
