By the Humans’ own suggestion, their meeting would be taking place within the Rothian embassy, so naturally, the Rothian delegation was the first to be present and ready. The one leading their delegation was, of course, the Rothian ambassador herself, Taranik’Nhet. She had been in charge of Rothian diplomatic efforts with Outremer since the embassy had first been established. She was a millennium-old Rothian with dark green scales and black stripes. The second among them was a woman named Joll’sho’Andai. She had light tan scales, with a repeating diamond-like pattern of darker brown scales across most of her body. She was an expert in both Rothian and Human law, as well as the treaties and agreement that bound the both of them. She was the one in charge of the “official” Rothian response to the attack on Vreta. The last of the Rothian representatives attending the meeting was an attache named Mras’Yona. His role at the embassy was more of a technical advisor than a diplomat. He rarely dealt with Humans directly, but rather advised other Rothian citizens and businesses on the acceptable usages of Rothian technology on Outremer. Given that the subject of the meeting was the Cradle, he was present mostly for his technical expertise. His appearance was strikingly different from any of the other Rothians in attendance, Vreta included. Their technology allowed them to customize their scale pigmentation in any way they desired, almost as quickly and easily as a Human could change clothes. In order to match Human expectations for professionalism, most Rothians who dealt with Humans regularly opted for more natural colors and patterns, but Mras had no such expectation on him. His scales were like an art piece. The backdrop was bright green in color, while the patterns across his body resembled a species of flower from Rothia. The stems connecting them were black in color, while the petals were vibrant and iridescent, shifting between colors depending on the angle of the viewer. The meeting room they had chosen was one of the smaller ones, as they were not expecting a large Human delegation. The embassy itself was a Human structure, so its architecture was no different from the rest of the city, though the Rothians had upgraded it to suit their needs. The table and half of the chairs in the center of the room were appropriately sized and shaped for Rothians, while the chairs intended for Human guests were smaller, but elevated higher so as to bring them on “even” terms. There were few other obvious features in the room, as most of the technology that the Rothians had integrated into the building was hidden out-of-sight unless it was in-use.
