Anice lead the way out of the throne room, leaving the tense situation behind her. That had gone better than she’d expected, there were no outburts from Conway’s men, and her father was as stern as a king should be. It was a sensitive issue to say the least, as Arcadia couldn’t formerly form any sort of alliance with the outsiders until they were presented to the council.
But she saw no issue in agreeing to lend them aid, so long as Decker followed through and sent representatives to a council meeting.
The next most pressing matter at hand, was what would happen next? That was a tricky question, one only time could answer.
She pondered their options, only to be distracted as Conway addressed her.
She turned to the man, and offered him a tentative smile.
“Yes...yes it did, and for that I am thankful”.
_+_+_+
Anice lead the group back to the transportaion room, from there she took the squad back to the camp and their vehicle. Unsure of what their next steps were, she left Conway with a helpful suggestion.
“Should the need arise and you need to contact the palace again, please come to this camp”. It would be simple for the scribe posted here to send word to the palace, though she didn’t go into all the details.
“Please inform your Captain...or...I suppose that he can hear me now, that should he wish to send anyone into the city, they will need to be escorted by one of my guard”.
Probably Tuvera, as she was level headed, and it didn’t seem like the outsiders were as unnerved by her.
Luthien could work as well, though she wouldn’t be happy. Nakier wasn’t much of an option, though the outsiders would have to adjust to the presence of the nagaji soon.
“Your presence has caused quite the stir, naturally. I believe that allowing the public to see you will help to ease their worries. However, I would ask that you send a small company...and those men be lightly armed. I do not was a repeat of the incident in the dining hall”.
There were nagaji civillians in the city, and Anice would not tolerate any potential threat toward them.
Anice felt these terms were reasonable, they were also non negotiable. She wouldn’t allow a large number of these outsiders at once, no group larger than Conway’s team.
“I hope you and yours find these terms agreeable”, she inclined her head toward the group as they arrived on their vehicle.
Of course if the didn't, she was open to a counter suggestion.
If they couldn't come to some sort of agreement, then the outsiders wouldn't be allowed in the city, simple as that.
