Anglerond seems relieved by Key's words, and distracted by her actions while Nestrim gives his sister a smile, Nestrim pulls up some papers "The next two days are going to be long, you will have to sit through the ritual 49 times, it shouldn't be that many, but we have had some very short ruling periods for queens, especially right after the war 10,000 years ago."

Key rolls her eyes.
“Is this the boaring viewing that was interrupted last night? What happens after that?”

"Then we begin Alluvian's ritual. She will have to spend a day or so in contemplation, a day or so with her being told what the other households like about her. Then we go into a rough day or longer where every single house or individual who has problems will bring up every single issue, sometimes it is repeated if multiple people have a problem. Then Veronwe or his representative will come out, channeling the Seldarine. Finally will be the final objection day and then her crowning. Then a huge party."

Key listens intently.
“Where should we be through this process? Are we at her side the whoke time? Or just at the crowning?” She pauses for breath.
“Why is this so long? Are we expected to do something about the grievances?”

Nestrim chuckles tiredly, "Nope, we are there for the whole thing, but we don't get to be near her. She will be by herself in the middle of the meeting area. No one should address either the good or bad, it isn't about reparations (that is what we are doing now, or after) rather it is just a public raising of her positive, and a public tearing down of her for her negative."
He shifts uncomfortably, "It is because she will have power over these people after this, this is their time to make any problems or admirations known. There will be future rituals like this, but those will only address new good or bad issues, this ritual will cleanse her past, and any past her mother passed on to her. It is so long because there are so many families and individuals of power that have a right to address past rights and wrongs. To be honest this is short, if she was a lot older it would be longer. Also there will be dancing and drinking every evening so it will be broken up."

Key smiles in relief.
“Thank the gods for small favors. Im not sure I could handle all that without breaks. You should partake as well. All work and no play as the saying goes. This is a lot of stress from multiple angles. No one is going to think less of you for cutting loose.”

Nestrim smiles tiredly, "I will I promise, right now I am a little anxious if I let go of anything, things will shift and it will sink us. However, I need to socialize anyways for work. People always assume I am more of a partier and shouldn't be taken seriously and that helps a lot. You are going to let loose a little right? I know you had a good run with Alluvian, but some of these houses would be offended if you didn't partake."

Key heaves a sigh and she goes a little green.
“Is there a quota on how much I need to drink? Or will it be acceptable for me to sip on one glass all night?”

"That my dear is up to you to judge at each get together. You don't have to hammer it out like you did with the girls, that is way beyond. Most of the time a single drink would be considered social, but it really depends on the house and what they are like. If you want to fit well. If you don't, I can work around it, but it might give you a standoffish/elitist vibe."

Key straightens her back and lifts her chin, banishing any lingering negative expression.
“Im not going to do anything else to make your job harder. I think Ive done quite enough of that. I’ll do my best to fit in with whatever group I happen to be with”

Nestrim waves aaay Key’s worry, "You have been fine. Don’t worry about that! Just enjoy yourself, that will go the furthest."

“Yup, learned that one this morning. Be yourself, check.” She leans back in her chair.
“This is going to be a rough two weeks.” She laughs

"I am really hoping it is going to be a boring rough two weeks. Is there anything you want to learn or people you want to meet while we are here? I can set up meetings if you are looking to talk to specific people, or if you have specific ideas."

Key thinks for a moment.
“I think we should try and meet with all the drow hoises that are here for sure. Im supposed to be meeting with three I was talking with earlier tonight. Other than that, Im open to your suggestions.”

"Fortunately the Bognaer has always backed us during anything that happens. They are a very good ally who have always moved when we needed them. That is good you are doing well with them. I have a couple of ideas for people you should meet."
