Aery saw the ambassador coming and did all she could not to stare. Celaena had trained her, she'd said. And it certainly showed. The woman walked with the same confident air, looking around with the same look of superiority. She carried no obvious weapons, but of course that didn't mean anything.
As one of the heralds of the castle began to introduce Aery, she very subtly waved her hand and cut him off. She didn't really care about the protocol of it. "Please, Master Herald, I am sure these people already know who I am, and I should not like to bore them with my titles. They come from my friend Aelin Galanythius, and as such, they probably know more about me than I do!" She stepped down from the castle entryway, ignoring the openmouthed surprise of the soldiers on duty. Let them be surprised that she had made it so that she'd have to look up at the ambassador.
The herald, slightly flustered, began calling the titles of the ambassador and her party, fumbling quite a few of them. Aery smiled. "I apologize for my herald and for my guards." she murmured. "I always function terribly against protocol, and they as yet have not adapted to my ways." She offered a slight curtsy to the lady ambassador. "One of our stable-boys should be along to take your mounts." She was doing hand-signals behind her back to the boys, because they'd only just been hired by her, and they'd never dealt with any nobility before. "I am afraid most of my staff is new and fairly young, and so they may not understand the treatment that you deserve. Please be patient with them. I've tried to assign to you the most capable servants that we have; unfortunately, not one of them is over the age of fifteen." The stable boys finally came up and took the party's mounts. Lillyan, looking plainly scared to be with so many nobles, came out as well and curstied deeply to the ambassador. "My maid Lillyan will show you to your quarters. I will leave you to get settled in. We dine in two hours; tell Lillyan if you need anything and she will have it provided." As Lillyan passed by Aery, she whispered in the girl's ear "Don't sweat it, Lil. I know a couple of the lady's guards and they're decent folk." 
Lillyan smiled shyly and picked up one of Alyssia's bags. "My lady, if you will follow me, I can show you to your quarters?"
