Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

"Lady Waukeen." Moore says, offering her a bow. "Thank you for attending."

[Anastasia]

"We haven't had one like this since...well, there was the one for Sulia centuries ago and then the one for Seira not too long ago," Then she waves a hand, "But a pox on that," she moves it aside. "Let's focus on today's celebration rather than past pleasures."

"We should," Cresiel says, the slightest glance back the way you came.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles at Cresiel.

"Yes, today is about the future anyway, and the hope that tomorrow will bring." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"To today and tomorrow!" Waukeen toasts, "Now go, that's an order, go mingle there since you're the guests of honor."

[Nephrite]

Moore merely nods and smiles, as he goes to do just that very thing.

[Anastasia]

Before you can get anywhere, "Moore." Sisatar approaches in humanoid form, Ruby on his arm. He has a drink his free hand as he nods slightly, "I have to say that I never saw this coming."

Ruby smiles and holds onto that arm rather tightly, "Cresiel I could imagine, he has that sense of purpose so many of the recently risen have. Or is it simple determination?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods slightly with a smile. "I was thinking of visiting you myself before all of this, but I imagined you'd find out and show up." He nods to Ruby as well.

"If it makes you feel any better, it... took me a bit by surprise too." He says. "But sometimes, when you just keep digging and never give up on something, you can do the most incredible things." Another broad smile follows that. "I think with Cresiel it's a bit of both. I like to think he champions the same causes that I do in his own way."

[Anastasia]

"Persistence serves along with wisdom and will," Cresiel says at this, as a pretty waitress comes by. All smiles, a rather gorgeous firre eladrin with eyes that sparkle like newborn flames. She offers up drinks, to which Cresiel shakes his head slightly.

"Two at once is even more remarkable," Sisatar continues, "There's a lot of gold to be made for the information of how you two managed it like that."

[Nephrite]

Moore will take a drink as is the polite thing to do.

"I know it's not a popular deflection, but the secrets of Celestia are there for anyone willing to look for them." Moore says with another smile. "Know that I still consider myself an ally of the Consortium, and will be more than happy to continue to work with you all. Now, especially, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to have your consultation in how I'm trying to grow our trade with other realms. Ah... excuse me, we probably shouldn't discuss work here!" A small laugh after that follows.

[Anastasia]

A laugh shared by the others, "Really though, we'll have to talk soon," Ruby smiles, "If there was any doubt you've become a high value client, it's dispelled now."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes, I look forward to it." He says. "I imagine your own Benediction will be soon, as well?"

[Anastasia]

"Soon," Ruby says, "You're still invited, of course."

[Nephrite]

"I wouldn't dream of missing it." Moore says with a nod. "Please, whenever you feel like it, visit us in Hope's Landing."

[Anastasia]

A nod at that, "Go enjoy the party - we shouldn't monopolize your time," Ruby agrees at that.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to them both and will continue on to mingle!
