"Good evening, Your Excellency," the Elf greeted me with a bow. "My name is Adari Kovazh and I'm from the Faeton Elf Embassy."
Ah, right... I nodded, then pointed out, "Took your time, though..."
Adari winced at my words. "Apologies, Your Excellency. The process took longer than we expected."
I arched an eyebrow and inquired, "What made you come in person?"
"Right," the Elf chuckled. "The circumstances demand we are sensible. Two Azh'avun are involved, after all."
I blinked twice. "Sorry, two what?"
"Halves," Adari explained with a smile. "Azh'avun means 'Protectors' in Elvish, Your Excellency."
"Got it," I replied with a nod. "I'll see if Elena is available."
The Elf nodded and took a step back.
I closed the door and walked to the living room, then called out to the Elf in question, "Elena."
She turned to me with a smile. "Yes, Your Excellency?"
I gestured at the door with a thumb. "Someone from the Embassy came to see you," I explained.
