Baroness Velyria arrived at the meeting, feeling more than a little nervous. It had been a somewhat uneventful trip from her barony of Daneir to this little group get-together, but that was because there was a strong inquisitor and army presence. There was always a certain level of political to-do at these things, which Velyria usually enjoyed...when she could have a more outright advantage. A<em>room</em>full of Barons and Baronesses by far put her on uncertain footing.<br/><br/>She stepped into the bar, in that little town run by a mayor. She was dressed in simple black leather armor, loose-fitting green garb beneath that. She was slim and lovely, and unless there were secrets she didn't know about the other provincial rulers, she was the only one who had non-human blood in her veins. Her skin was fair, and her green eyes glittered with intelligence and good humor.<br/><br/>She tried to take in the surrounding individuals...she recognized all except--who in the Hells was that in the ranger get up with the red hair? She had no clue who he was, and that concerned her. Strangers in an already tense environment gave her pause. She took her seat at the circular table at the nearest spot available to the Inquisitor--Velyria usually got on well with the Inquisition, having a decent relationship with the Cult, so she wanted to display that closeness as visually as she could.<br/><br/>Her eyes glanced briefly at a couple of the more unstable Barons--Gracebanner with that chip on his shoulder, something to prove, and an expansionist ideology that left her feeling aggressive. And Perth, Iphael save her, Perth. A magic-user with a barony--his mere existence constituted a threat. She eyed with possible pleasure the war-like and oafishly obvious Quarh, and Orelius, who may have been a former spymaster and therefore a potentially valuable ally. And there was Windard...who Velyria held a certain attraction towards, but dared not approach.<br/><br/>Speaking of attractions she wasn't supposed to approach, what with her recent engagement to be wed, where was Dragomir?<br/><br/>She inclined her head to the gathered individuals and said, "Apologies for my less-than-timely arrival." She said to the Inquisitor, "And a pleasure, of course, to see you." It always did to remember the niceties, of course, and Velyria was friendly to members of the Inquisition.
