open | The Commander's Audience at the Palace of Landed Sky
Characters: The Ironwood Emperor Alderwood Commander and anyone who came to speak with the Ironwood Emperor.
Date: June 15th
Location: The Palace of Landed Sky
Situation: The expected holding of an audience for any that care to speak with the Ironwood Emperor, though they will be met instead by the Alderwood Commander.
Warnings/Rating: N/A; to be updated if necessary
The hall is still and white, strung with softly glowing lanterns that are strung up high beyond reach. Outside, the sun is at its zenith, and it filters down through the cloudy glass roof to create a brilliant, nearly blinding ambiance.
The floor is marble, inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ruby quartz. It catches the light, and casts strange patterns on the walls.
The room itself is almost eerily silent. No noise, no echoes. No one and nothing vaguely human, excepting the presence of Evandau. The Alderwood Commander stands before the Emperor's empty throne with patient expression and posture reminiscent to the at-ease bearing of a soldier. He waits to receive the petitioners, kedan and Foreigner alike, in Eshai's place this day. As with her audiences, those wishing to make their case must approach him and he will make not move to shorten the distance between the grand entryway and the throne that he defends.
The 'audience' is an open one, and no one will be turned away. So come one, come all, to the Palace of Landed Sky.
[Actionspam or prose are both acceptable! The Emperor has delegated the audience to Evandau this month and he has been temporarily granted many of the authorities that she naturally holds. Why is that? Well, telling y'all would be too easy, wouldn't it?
Characters will only be admitted into the hall one by one, so there won't be anyone present for anyone else's conversations, and there won't be any 'mingling' in the chamber itself.
By popular demand, we continue to allow mingling for those waiting for an audience in an antechamber. There is a thread header below to allow for that!]

JUST FOR YOU
But he has to try. He can't ever believe there's no hope.]
I understand.
[He vaguely remembers he wanted something else but it seems much less important now, all things considered.]
Whatever you decide to do, I want to help protect Tu Vishan and Keeliai the best I can, sir. Please, don't hesitate to call on me.
[Not that he thinks Evandau would, but it bears saying anyway. Asbel salutes, hand over his heart, and only barely restrains a waiting "May the wind guide our blades", replacing it instead with a half bow.]
no subject
You'll hear about it if we need you or that friend of yours. Trust that.
no subject
[He understands the dismissal and turns to leave
and keep his best friend from panicking. He sees no reason not to trust Eshai and Evandau have their reasons for the way they do things, even if he doesn't understand them yet. He has no reason not to believe the best of them, and thus no reason not to pay them the utmost respect.You just got Asbel'd, Evandau.]
