According to the Sabonile priests, Hapoyela wishes to properly welcome the Foreigners and the kedan to the full scope of Tavimbi's hospitality, and has instructed the clergy to organize a suitably impressive celebration for the citizens of the oldest living Great Turtle. All Foreigners, as well as many notable kedan including the Family heads, are invited to attend a grand feast and celebration at the Sabonile Temple, one of the largest buildings in all of Hatal.

The clergy has promised an evening of good food, lively entertainment, and the magnificent blessings of Hapoyela. At the same time, the Sabonile will be hosting a soup kitchen in the Temple's courtyard, feeding the hungry and the poor, as dictated by their religious tenets and beliefs.

While those who receive an invitation to the event, which the Sabonile consider a sacred charge from Hapoyela, are not required to attend... it could be seen as a disrespect to their deity.

MOD NOTE: For the naked after party section, soul gems are still allowed to be worn. If your character isn't up for stripping down, they can excuse themselves from that segment of the evening, which will have no negative repercussions with the Sabonile. In this case, they will simply do a wave-over blessing from Hapoyela around the person, and bid them a pleasant evening before they go.

"Yes, I was against going to war, but I was part of the minority in that call." If she sounds like she resents it, then her point is made. The loss of life makes her ill on a daily basis.

"As for the benefits and repercussions of our time here, that's yet to be seen. Some things, I've found, are unavoidable."

Raine hums a thoughtful note under her breath. Padmé advocates for peace, yet another mark in favor of her character, but she's not quite convinced of that last.

"Perhaps that's true," she says at length. "Some things can't be changed; but it's difficult to know the difference before trying." As Padmé said: yet to be seen. "I"ll be curious to know what you think, as time goes on."

She is a politician who actually advocates for serving her people and does to the best of her abilities while staying above the corruption. It makes her a bit of a walking contradiction to most people she knows and has met in her lifetime. She's not at all sorry either.

However, she tries to keep a realistic outlook as well. War was unavoidable. It didn't need to involve everyone everywhere.

"Oh, I agree. Just because it looks impossible doesn't mean you shouldn't try. I've never let 'no' stop me." She smiles sharply. "But find me in a few weeks and ask me then. I enjoy lively debate from time to time."

Raine has a feeling, however impossible it is to test right now, that Padmé would get along with Lloyd. Her returning smile is somewhat less sharp than Padmé's, though, only generally approving.

"I think I shall," Raine says. "After all, you've already offered to cook, and I stop by the Midnight Hotel with some regularity in any case. I'll look forward to it."

Funny you should mention Lloyd~

[angelofnaboo]

Well, yes, Padmé and Lloyd would get along super well. They're both idealistic and opinionated, but not at all afraid to get in someone's face for being a shit.

"I'll keep an eye out for you then, Raine."

gee I wonder why that might have happened :P

[ruinsprofessor]

"Until then," Raine says with a nod, still smiling, and she turns to go, heading in the direction of the man she indicated earlier. "It's been a pleasure."
