"Well, seeing as I believe we addressed all of his concerns, I don't see the need to until we have a treaty to read over."

The Colonel throws back his head and laughs. When he recovers he says, "Mr. Eastman, you have a certain style that I hope to some day emulate."

They point out that the night's specials are a roast duckling, a braised beef over rice dish, and grilled European Salmon.

"Really, a whole entree will be far too much, and I couldn't possibly finish it before my escort returns. What I would really like is a glass of red wine, and perhaps a small appetizer? Something with a bit of beef?"

George laughs along with Hassan. "Well if you do Hassan, you may well end up running the entire army. But how do you think I made much of my wealth? Indeed by innovation, but canny negotiation as well."

George laughs along with Hassan. "Well if you do Hassan, you may well end up running the entire army. But how do you think I made much of my wealth? Indeed by innovation, but canny negotiation as well."

He replies, "Indeed. But deciding to not meet with somebody who is expecting you just because there is no actual reason to isn't a skill taught by the army, mine or anybody else's."

They bring her a plate with coin-sized medallions of beef atop a light cream sauce. The sommelier brings her a bottle of an 1865 burgundy that he recommends with the dish.

Colonel Hassan, the Princess and George retreat to the Queen's suite for lunch. Queen Neferka is no longer present, having departed to go shopping with Ruby. An elaborate lunch spread has been set for the negotiators.

Abigail enjoys her light meal in peace. After a half-hour she sees Callum's Driver enter the room.

"Well, if it is easier for you, I will join you. Otherwise you are correct that's not really my thing," she laughs. "But I don't mind. It would keep me out of George's hair while he does important stuff."

The pair of them head off towards a business district on the opposite end of the city. Ela says to Ruby "You are fortunate to have become such close friends with our monarch. If you wanted to remain here in Zakazik I am certain that it could be arranged."

Ruby chuckled, "I'm not exactly the settling down type... Though..." She is momentarily pulled into her own thoughts and a wistful look crossed her face. She quickly shook herself out of it, "Well, I suppose things change. It is quite lovely here and I can see there are still many corners to be explored. Sadly, George's business is back in America.

And yes, I am fortunate to have become friends with the Queen. Right place at the right time and all that. She is a very special woman and I am grateful."

Abigail enjoys her light meal in peace. After a half-hour she sees Callum's Driver enter the room.

Abby folded her napkin and stood up. Thankfully she had not been pressed to eat more, since Cal was already picking up something for them to eat. She walked over to the Driver and despite knowing it would not answer her, said, "I'm ready if you are."
