Ah yes, I hope this is right ...
Randall approaches and gives a fluid bow that ends up standing tall, then kneeling on his left knee.
"May the rivers flow as wisdom cometh from the queen's mouth,
may the trees stand as regally as the queen in her deserved honor,
and may I serve as one small bee contributes to the honey of the hive."
"You highness, forgive me for being at a loss for words. I have come at the Church of Eli's invitation, I have come from a journey across both blighted and green lands, and I have come home to the people that I love. I am at your service."

Queen Elyspir T'mamir, elect ruler of the the elves in the third year of her 49 year reign, smiles slightly at Randall. This close to her, Randall can feel her charisma and her powerful personality.
"You are welcome here, Randall of the house Melikijur. Please rise and sit by me and tell me of your adventures."
Randall tells his tale in much the same way he recounted it to the dinner table. The queen periodically interrupts him to ask questions.
Hmm, Adlerweg, that is in the north where Keth Anar hid, is it not? I heard he was executed in Antioch. What was your role in that?
After an hour or so, she takes Randall by the hand, leads him to the edge of the now largely empty platform and leans close.
"Now that the undead have been removed from our homelands, we can return. And yet, we lack the resources neccessary to make such a journey and rebuild. These years in the south have bled us dry. You wield much influence in the church. The church is our last hope to secure the resources needed to return home. If they can be convinced to put aside centuries of enmity and predjudice and fund our exodus, then we can be whole again. Tommorrow the talks will begin. Serve your people well Son of Melikijur."
She lets go of your hand and walks away.

About an hour later, Delianir appears at the diplomatic house to walk with Randall. The jewlery and low cut dress she was wearing has been replaced by a much more casual outfit. This outfit and the short soft boots that she wears would be typcial for day to day elven use (boots not pointed). Her flowing blonde hair is tied back behind her head in two long tresses. She wears long knife at her side.
"Hello Randall, did you survive the Queens attentions?" She smiles.

"She was most gracious. It was no trouble at all, in fact."
"Her parting words, as I assume you could guess, leave me wondering how I can manage a miracle tomorrow. Thinking back over the last year, I guess I was part of several 'miracles' so perhaps it will work out."
"But I am not here to talk about tomorrow. Let us not let that trouble us now."
"I am most interested in you; who you are, what you do, and your perspective on the life and culture of our people. We seem somewhat...diminished."
[talk: Randall will share more in-depth about his experiences, still leaving out Keth, but perhaps including some of the Time Travel & experience of the 'dark elves'
He also inquires more about Delianir, her interests, activities, etc. Perhaps break out a bottle of elven wine and sit somewhere...]
"Well, Delianir, it certainly is very nice here. It is good to feel like I am home. I did not realize how separate I have been until coming back to my own kind. Too bad it has to end tomorrow. For a time, at least, I have to straddle two worlds."
"Back to business. I will let you know, at least, where I stand in this diplomacy.
I agree with the church that the sundered are a rising threat. Perhaps they already have some influence among the weaker of our people in fact. I fear that the most for they will destroy us completely. If it is not the sundered, help them find out who it is. This is vital to the world, no matter if the sundered started the evil, or some other darker power. If you have any influence at all with the queen, please help her see that the church needs the information in order to destroy whatever evil caused the blight."
"As for the elves, The church is wealthy. Both in gold and resources. Unfortunately, they worry about the troubles ahead, which could be costly for them. If they can be convinced that the enmity between elves and the church is lessened, and that the elves will aid with any knowledge they have about the rising threat, perhaps they can give us aid."
"I fear our peoples can not move back for some time, as the land itself can not support a nation yet. The trees are dead, there is little in the way of material to biuld a nation with. I fear our culture - from the little I have heard of it recently - may not survive until the land is ready. Someone, an elder perhaps, needs to serve as a guide to restore some of the old ways. I leave that to the queen to decide."
"Oh, Delianir. What a troubled time we are in. Just sit with me far a while. Tell me some of the stories of our people..."

The evening walk is pleasant one, Delianir, spends most of the time talking about her childhood, growing up here in the woods south of the mountain. She speaks of her father, who was slain fighting bugbears shortly after she was born. She speaks of her mother and her devotion to St Keoughtom, currently serving in Malta. She tells you that the only time she has been out of these woods was to attend a tournament in Arras. She finished fifth in an archery contest. ("It was a long time ago." She wryly adds.)
Three hours pass quickly before she returns you to the diplomatic house.
"See you at the talks in the morning. Fair Rest."
