"Hmm. Two separate issues that would require two separate meetings.  Asja dear, would you inform Prime Minister Koric that we require his permission to hold a meeting with the Smith's Guild in regards to drafting a new tariff for interprovincial trading?  Attach a memo that it regards new first-tier taxable imports from the Reptile Kingdom and we'll need them to meet with the heads of their Gold Scale Guild during drafting.  And send an aerogram to Leontyne that we would desire her presence for a meeting with the Reptile King this afternoon, please, dear."

Adelaide turns to Rep. "She'll be here presently. Leontyne is a bit capricious for a Gryphon, but she's also quite accommodating, should she feel that she's treated fairly."

...(About an hour later)......

The Harpy courier on the veranda raps on the glass doors. Asja opens them, and the Harpy sticks her head in.

"Lady Leontyne to see Her Eminence, the Lady Grey..."

The Harpy is almost pushed aside as a pair of enormous Harpies---Rocs of almost Giantess proportions ---push their way into the room and stand on either side of the door. A Gryphon (in appearance much like the one wearing the jewelry on the Gryphon's page) strides into the room nonchalantly. She looks up to Adelaide with a wide smile that borders on smarmy.

"Hello, Addie. Heard you wanted to see me, so I came as quick as I could.  Anything to get out of listening to petitioners..."

"Lee Lee, darling! Come in, come in!" Adelaide stands and sweeps over to her, pecking her cheek. "I needed you here for a favor."

"That's the word." Leontyne walks over, her jewelry jingling, and plops in a large chair, slumping comfortably. She takes off her slim crown and begins twirling it on her finger with a small smile. "And you must be the Reptile King. I have to say, I've heard a lot about you.  And no, it's not all bad." She looks to Freia. "Not familiar with you, though. To whom do I have the pleasure of addressing?"
