Master Of None

Before Walker knew it he and Su had watched many plans drawn up for road ways, materials, construction, land, and many other things. Every single one went in to details that he had never learned and never understood. All the two knew was that they were witnessing history. 

After many hours in the windowless room the kings, queen, and other pair of representatives showed weariness. "I think we will stop here for the night. We have the start of the city plan and orders to our armies to reinforce the elven and demi-human borders." August felt that his decisions would not be as clear and cut if he did not rest.

"I agree. We may be used to sleepless nights but if we do so now we could miss an important detail." The queen agreed. "I will have rooms made for each of you and also have my scribes prepared for tomorrow unless you would like someone else.?"

"Walker hasn't learned any scribe skills yet….right?' Rorick was hoping that Walker could act as the scribe but saw that Walker was shaking his head no. "I had hope that it would be easy and we could stay a little more casual. I feel like I have gotten more done today ignoring formalities than ever." Rorick had not been one for formalities but even the demi-human kingdom had laws and rules to follow. 

"You're telling me about it. The nobles always stand in my way for the smallest things. I wanted to build another orphanage and they were up in arms about funding. But I say that I want additional street cleaners and they praise me." August shook his head. He had many instances of skirting nobles to achieve his goals. 

"Try elders. They always say that things need to be a certain way. I literally have a skill that lets me speak with our ancestor's spirits and I am still told I am too young. I even find myself telling this to my successor. We all become elders one day." The queen was skating her own head at herself. 

"Krol and Ventus are not enjoying proper talk. We like blunt to understand. Words are many when there is nothing to say." Even Kroll and Ventus had the feelings that there was too much in the way of progress. It was a stunning scene for Walker and Su who had never seen rulers as anything other than powerful figures of royalty and perfection to some degree.

Walker and Su had a devilish grin at each other before they spoke as well. "Su, do you wonder what it is like to be suddenly told you are an ambassador when you thought you had just been handed a travel medal?" 

"Yes I do leader. Do you know what it is like to be added to a tournament as a test for a king who likes battle?"

"Su, of course I do. What about when you find elves that are stuck in their ways that they need hero title holders to make a change most of them want?"

"Leader, I understand that pressure. I am sure it is the same as the hero made to be a mediator without much knowledge." 

The two were starting to have trouble holding back their laughter while the kings and queens stared at them slightly pale. They had been the ones to cause all of these things without any thought on how the party felt. 

"I do need to say. There are way too many words used. Having to appear in a hall and talk everything through takes a lot of time. I feel like this isn't the kind of adventuring I imagined." Walker sighed slightly but remembered the places he had explored and shrugged it off. 

"Leader, I think we may have taken the joke a little far…" Su had noticed the others' faces and was worried they had offended all of them. 

"It's alright. They just need rest after they agree that we will have a resting place in the new capital. It is important to have the mediator there sometimes. Meaning that the mediators' party would also have somewhere to stay." Walker was sneaky and threw this in there. He wasn't after a mansion but knowing that there would be a small house to sleep when they passed through the area was a perk. 

Walker saw the other nod slowly accepting that. "Alright then. We will close this meeting here for now. Tomorrow we will discuss further construction such as another adventurers guild building in the capital, a tamers guild location, and finally the joint work force that will greatly bring the working classes together. Until then we shall rest."

Walker closed the meeting officially. "Ehm, yes. My enforcers will guide everyone to the proper resting places. I look forward to having you all for breakfast in the morning to try some of the natural fruits and herb teas from our home." 

The queen stood and opened the door for them all to move out. The sound of them walking out made the fairly tired merchants, attendants, elders, guild master, and Scylla stand tall. With a few words they were also pausing their conversations and heading to rest. 

Walker and Su browsed the tables to find trade agreements and the guild decisions making amazing progress. "Finally we can go and sit. They started to argue about what materials the curtains were made out of and I have no idea why it mattered." Gil looked like he had been pushed to the limit.

"At least they listened to you. They tried to brush me off as if I was a know nothing. Luckily Midnight just had to pick her head up and they learned to use their ears." Remey patted Midnight on the head while she puffed her chest up. Midnight was very proud of her job thus far. But now they had earned their rest until the next morning.
