Apparently, mid-swing, Elli discovered Scarlett was impatient, so with a shake of her head she sent her response in so many words, emphasizing the fact that she was nearly stripped of her knightly title.  Visiting the bath first and partaking of the scents there to clean her of the training, she would be clad in her armor and everything, maybe after a cleric 'freshened it up' first, and meeting the Commander she would see the same.  The trip would be fairly short, receiving plenty of bows of respect, but they would go into a direction she was not so familiar with, and why would she be?  Everything she needed was on the third, second, and first levels, with the fourth just for the governing faculties.<br/><br/>It was neutral ground, obviously, with not a holy symbol in sight save for on her and the Commander's armor.  Their pace was... relaxed, surprisingly, approaching the massive domed area that seemed fitting for a chambers of this sort, and Elli had to marvel at the expansive beauty of it with it's lavish insides, painted historical murals, and the many magical lights about the place.  Quite a place indeed... and she got quite a view until finally they entered the main room of the, with most everybody there and again the only holy symbols being those on the head priests and priestesses and also upon the chairs to emphasize the seats of whom.  What a group too... and nobody seemed to notice - or care - that Elli was there, and in fact but one of them - a<em>dwarf</em>no less - was the only one to comment more on how<em>late</em>the commander was.<br/><br/>And then it began... and a minute or so in and Elli prayed that it would end.  It eventually droned on into a murmur of sound, with her eyeballs wanting to eat her own brain out as she scanned and analyzed from person to person, figuring there was nothing better to do.  When it was over it couldn't have come any sooner, and she happily left with Syceras out into the hall, at least until she left to speak to the dwarf.  Scarlett quickly seized the opportunity to approach, and Elli was glad she didn't giggle; it would have ruined Syceras' surprise most assuredly.<br/><br/>"She would have stripped my knightly rank, yes." she clarified, solemnly "I... think you would have a better chance talking to her... I'll go with you even, when she's done with the Torag dwarf... you still want to speak to her, right?"
