Rose entered the room she had set up for the briefing. A round, polished table sat empty, waiting for the knights and other people who would be taking part in the search for the former Lady Cynthia of Longlake. She'd been stripped of her land and titles and charged with high treason after her and her husband Baelincius of Darksea had waged war against Masbolle fief.
Rose had been delegated as head of the search party to bring Cynthia in. She'd found several highly esteemed knights and their squires to come along, as well as some accomplished mages. Now all she had to do was wait for them to come to Castlemaine Townhouse for the briefing of their mission.

Kaidreni Kai was not too sure how she had signed up for this. She supposed it was so she could gain a little experience of being a mage, but she was not completely sure. She heard a few mutterings behind her, this was probably because on her face was an expression of such absence of mind it might look asthough she had walked in by accident. Though Kaidreni did not pay attention to any of this. She recognised the woman by the table as The lady knight Roseanna, but nothing else seemed to be at all familliar to Kai. She sat in an available chair, now taking in the decoration and furnishings of this room. She also watched some people around her, they all seemed to leave her an unnecissary amount of space. Some obviously mistaking her for a slightly insaine person.

Rose smiled as the girl Kaidreni entered. They hadn't met that long ago, and they weren't close friends...yet. Rose adjusted her vision so that she could see the extent of Kai's magic and grinned when a lot of it sparkled around her.
Good, she's a mage. And she'll be powerful at that. she thought with satisfaction.
"Hello Kaidreni. Glad you could make it." she said with a smile. "We'll wait awhile longer, we're still missing quite a few people, including Claw and Jazz." she said, though not holding it against them. Claw was taking care of Jazz after all.

[Jazz needs someone to come and tell her after the briefing. Fhire's volunteered, so... keep that in mind. (She's decided she wants a part in the plot as well)]

Rhianna entered the briefing room, panting, wearing breaches, tunic, and shirt in her knight mistress's colors. "Sorry, Rose! Was out for a run with Galaxy." She grinned as she took a seat next to another girl near her age. "Hello, I'm Rhianna, Rose's squire."
Flicking back a few strands of her red-brown hair, Rhianna fished out several pieces of parchment from her pocket. "So, exactly what are we doing in the Copper Isles?"

Kai looked up and saw a girl looking about fourteen coming towards her. She smiled nervously, she was not sure what exactly they where doing in the Copper isles either. "Hello, I'm Rhianna, Rose's squire." The girl said, and kai pondered for a minute what she would be called in her title. Roseanna seemed to be Lady Knight Roseanna of Castlemaine. And this Rhianna was Squire Rhianna to Lady Roseanna. But... she supposed she could be.... "Hello, I'm Kaidreni, or Kai I'm a training music mage." Kai glanced involuntairily at the pieces of paper in Rhainna's hand. She assumed they were papers about the mission or something.

Rose smiled warmly at her squire.
"Nice of you to join us Rhianna. How is Galaxy's shoulder doing?" she asked. Rhianna's war horse had sustained an injury in the fighting at Masbolle.
"So, exactly what are we doing in the Copper Isles?"
"Well, first we'll be docking in Rajmuat and from their we'll go to the Royal Palace and greet Queen Dovasary, and from there we'll board another ship to Lombyn Island and go to the Queen's Lombyn holdings, Tanair Estates. Her son, Prince Heradite will meet us there and direct us to Lady Alanna's daughter Aly, who is the spymaster there. We'll talk to her and see if she's seen anyone around who fits Cynthia's description and ask her to keep an eye out for someone like her. After that we'll board another ship and sail to the Yamani Islands to represent Tortall in a delegation. And we'll search some other countries along the way." she said.
"Does that answer your question Rhianna?" she asked lightly.

"Nice of you to join us Rhianna. How is Galaxy's shoulder doing?"
Rhianna smiled. "Much better now. It's not so stiff and she lasted quiet well on uneven ground. I bet she'll be back to her best soon."
"Well, first we'll be docking in Rajmuat and from their we'll go to the Royal Palace and greet Queen Dovasary, and from there we'll board another ship to Lombyn Island and go to the Queen's Lombyn holdings, Tanair Estates.

"Does that answer your question Rhianna?"
Rhianna nodded emphatically. "Yeah! I've heard of Aly. My Da thought she was a character." She gave a short laugh. "So I get to shape up my Yamani skills, huh? I kinda fell out of 'em after coming to the Palace."

Sapphire walked into the room and smiled warmly at Rose. "Hey Rose, I'm, um, here in Jazz's place. It's a long story. She's exhausted!" She nodded at the other two girls.
"Okay. So we are here for the simple reason of? Jazz told me a little and then she fell asleep so I was kinda left in the lurch." She sat down and grinned at Rose. "Oh I'm Sapphire by the way," She said to Kai, pushing a dark curl from her face.

Rose smiled at Fhire as she walked in.
"Well, Jazz wouldn't know much about it herself, I just gave her the briefest synopsis of the mission. Basically we'll be docking in Rajmuat and from their we'll go to the Royal Palace and greet Queen Dovasary, and from there we'll board another ship to Lombyn Island and go to the Queen's Lombyn holdings, Tanair Estates. Her son, Prince Heradite will meet us there and direct us to Lady Alanna's daughter Aly, who is the spymistress there. We'll talk to her and see if she's seen anyone around who fits Cynthia's description and ask her to keep an eye out for someone like her. After that we'll board another ship and sail to the Yamani Islands to represent Tortall in a delegation. And we'll search some other countries along the way." she said once more. "And thankfully Jazz will be fully healed by then."

Kaidreni smiled at the woman who had just entered. Truth be told she was a little taken aback by all these new people. She was not usually nervous, but she knew that her experience around people was not a very long one, she did not spend a lot of her time talking. She had signed up for this, and she would follow it through, even if it did scare her a little. She had heard about Sapphire from Jazz, when they had met in the rain. She had talked about Sapphire as being a 'fully fledged singer' whatever that meant. Kai was anxious to meet the woman, although she had some misgivings about meeting so many people at once. Sapphire was a music mage too, and Kai had only ever met one other music mage. "I'm Kaidreni..." she said, with her usual away-with-the-fairies look in her eye.

Sapphire grinned. "It's a pleasure to meet you! You a music mage? I'm a singer." She shrugged and shook her head.

"And thankfully Jazz will be fully healed by then."
She nodded as the information prosessed her brain. "Should be easy I guess. We will find her eventually and besides, it's a nice journey." she said distracted. Her mind was on her other delegation with the Yamani Islands. 'Ahh, sweet pressure, how I love you,' she thought for a moment. Pressure was good, It kept her going.

Kai waited to be talked to again, and was not surprised when somewon spoke again, people usually talked to her at first, then they found her boring and decided to pursue a more interesting conversation, because her mind was not always completely present when she talked. "It's a pleasure to meet you! You a music mage? I'm a singer." "I'm a music mage I suppose, although not much of a mage more of a person with music magic, I havn't had much training to be honest." she answered, quietly, truth being she had had not training whatsoever. "What training do you need to be a singer?" She was quite interested in the reply to this, she wished she herself had started training somewhere when she was a little younger.

"What training do you need to be a singer?"
"Well, it's a long and dreadful process! Not really, you need to have, um, four years of proper training. I had it in six, because of my delegate and ambassador training. It's worth it though. I could help you if you need it." She paused for breath then looked at Rose. She smiled as she thought of how she felt when she completed her singer training.
"So Rose, how long is this delegation going to take?"

"So Rose, how long is this delegation going to take?"
Rose thought for a moment before answering Fhire.
"Well, probably at least a week to a week and a half...its hard to say, depending on when Aly is there...she's supposed to be there already, but we're not sure yet. I sent a missive to her last week, so it'll take awhile yet to get an answer."
