I missed a few looks apparently
Gyfford says, "We have been discussing heirs."
Valkri asks, "And how many you will have?"
Gyfford says, "The standard is two yes? Like myself and my brother."
Gyfford asks, "What did you bring me?"
Several servants arrive carrying a large gilded birdcage. After carefully placing it in a nearby corner, they politely excuse themselves, heading out through the arch.

Nestled within the spacious cage, a pair of peach-faced Zoluren love birds sit next to each other upon an ebony crossbar.
In the gilded birdcage you see a pair of peach-faced Zoluren love birds.
The birds are small in stature, and while they nearly resemble doves in their whiteness, a soft rosy-peach coloring across the front of their face and neck sets them apart.
Athelisa exclaims, "They're lovely!"
Arilana says, "Zoluren love birds. A perfect mated pair."
Athelisa gives Arilana a formal hug, pressing first her right cheek, then her left, against Arilana's.

Arilana says, "May they be a special omen for your long and happy marriage."
Gyfford asks, "What should we feed them?"
Arilana says, "They're particularly fond of berries. I would not suggest haggis."
Athelisa says to Arilana, "They're lovely. Thank you so much."
Athelisa gets a pair of peach-faced Zoluren love birds from inside an ornate gilded birdcage on a jewel-encrusted stand.
Carefully, Athelisa stroke one of the birds with the back of her finger. It eyes her hand, looking for food.
[Theren Keep, Great Hall]
Seven columns span the chamber in a vast semi-circle of burnished black marble, the middle three curving around a broad dais while the outer pairs brace high, spectacular balconies. Striking blue-gold banners and silken tapestries proclaim the royal colors of Therengia, but these minor ornaments pale before the tiled dome ceiling and a massive, seven-sided table which dominates the great hall.
You also see an ornate gilded birdcage on a jewel-encrusted stand, a well-lit corridor, a swinging deobar door, some scissor chairs positioned around the table and a flower arch of fairy fern twined with white roses, orange blossoms and stephanotis.

Obvious exits: out.
You see Princess Arilana Lasa'Sorvendig, an Elf.
She has pointed ears and lushly-eyelashed green eyes that hold a touch of sadness. Her shining black hair with a white forelock has been braided with canary diamonds on silver strands, soft tendrils escaping to frame her face. She has fair skin with a touch of blushing on her high cheekbones. She is slightly under average height for an Elf.
She is adult for an Elf.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a mug of vanilla-spiced tea in her right hand.
She is wearing a delicate silver filigree crown with seven moon pearl-encrusted points rising from the base, a white glaes necklace wrapped in a cage of sage pearls set upon spun platinum, a shimmered celadon watersilk gown with long split sleeves bound by platinum strands, a delicate silver bracelet dangling a sculpted water droplet, a simple platinum wedding band engraved with a single gladiolus, an ecru clutch decorated with creamy yellow jade and white gold filigree and some silvery silk slippers.
You see Lady Athelisa Ananthor, a Human Paladin.
Wispy auburn bangs, with highlights the color of a golden sunset, frame her thick-lashed emerald green eyes, their mesmerizing gaze twinkling with a calming serenity. Several locks are swept back from her temples and braided with strands of tiny champagne diamonds, allowing the remainder to cascade in long, silken waves to her waist. Full, peach-tinted lips complement her delicate nose and the glow of her flawless complexion.
Her shapely, regal silhouette is carried with a dignified grace, fitting of her noble lineage and pedigree.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a pair of peach-faced Zoluren love birds in her left hand.
She is wearing a pair of delicate gold chain earrings dangling tear-drop champagne diamonds, a creamy champagne diamond choker set with sparkling cabochon emeralds, a forest-green silk brocade gown trimmed with delicate gilded lace, a dark velvet lady's reticule, a delicate byzantine bracelet bearing the crest of House Ananthor, a set of jeweled golden fingernails, a crested platinum pinkie ring, an elegant white-gold engagement ring set with a glistening imperial-cut bloodgem and a pair of golden brocade slippers laced with satin ribbons.
You see Liev Denesal, of the Zoluren Court of Elanthia, a Human.
Liev has a square face, deep-set brown eyes, a straight nose and a cleft chin. His golden brown-streaked dark brown hair is short and thick, and is worn in a simple, loose style. He has tanned skin and an athletic build.
He is tall for a Human.
He appears to be in his prime.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a knotwork icesteel amulet inset with the crest of House Denesal, an open-neck loose cream silk shirt tucked into a grey waistcoat secured with a scorpion diamond button, a malachite and silver signet ring, a black jacquard waistcoat with gold detailing in the pattern of gladiolas, a pair of crisply pleated black trousers woven in a herringbone pattern and a pair of highly polished black leather shoes.
You see Coachman Jergores of Therengia, a Human.
Jergores has a square-jawed face, deep-set steely grey eyes and a straight nose. His dark brown hair is shoulder length and straight, and is worn loose. He has weathered skin and a lean build.
He is a bit over average height for a Human.
He appears to be an adult.
He has a scruffy growth of stubble on his face.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a pair of black boots, some royal blue pants, some white gloves, a simple gold wristcuff, a suede pack, a polished leather morawen with a gleaming steel rapier secured to it, a crisp royal blue tailcoat bearing the Therengian crest upon the left shoulder and a short-brimmed kepi accented with satin gold braiding.
You see an elegant mikkhalbamor carriage pulled by a team of white haramorlam steeds belonging to Jergores.
The rich grain of the wood is accentuated by a decorative golden frame. Each corner has a hanging metal lantern with amber panes of glass that provide softly muted illumination to the surrounding area. Holding their heads high in almost an aloof manner, the regal animals pulling the caravan are obviously the best of their breed.
The door to the caravan is locked.
Jergores opens the door of the caravan and climbs outside.
The mikkhalbamor carriage went across an ironwood drawbridge, following Jergores.
