Reinforcing Ties - the Fox and the Wolf
Achkaerin:
Sakura just smiled and led the trio through the gate and into the courtyard. Serenity glanced over from where she was having a drink and walked a little bit away, Sarah got her own drink and followed the Crown Princess.
"How's Revana?" Serenity asked
"Getting there." Sarah said "Levi's still a little annoyed I made Justicar before he did."
"I'll bet he is." Serenity said giggling.
As the two redheads conversed off to one side, Peter smiled at Evelyn and Kaleb "Grab yourselves a plate and some food before the kids grab it all." he said flipping a couple of burgers as he spoke.
Cool101jr:
Kaleb shook Peter's hand then grabbed a drink and a burger, sitting at the table. Evelyn walked up next to Peter and gave him quick side hug before grabbing her own food and drink.
"Thanks for having us, Peter. I know we have business to attend to but I really needed a moment of peace." She said with a smile before taking a bite of her burger and nodding in satisfaction at the delicious food and giving Peter a thumbs up.
"Burgers are delicious, Peter. Keep up the good work, if this Emperor thing doesn't work out you could open a restaurant." Kaleb said, laughing between bites.
"Speaking of Levi, he asked me to talk to Rion or at least Alex for him. He insists he's ready to take the test. I said I'd try, and I don't see them at the moment so I count that as trying." Sarah said with a shrug and a chuckle.
Achkaerin:
"Rion doesn't let just anyone who thinks they're ready take those tests." Serenity said "It's when she decides."
"Don't I know it." Sarah said giggling "You learn that much about yourself during the training."
Over at the barbecue Peter half smiled as he indicated some chairs for Evelyn and Kaleb to sit in.
"So." Peter said "What's on your mind?"
Cool101jr:
"I figured it was something like that." Evelyn said as her and Kaleb sat in the indicated chairs.
"Well I mainly did this for the break before I really start cracking down on my plans in Revana, since we all know there's no need for some official thing. However when I announced my vacation plans, Lord Minister Bartrove insisted I make it an official state visit and bring you this. It's super informal and quickly made up so if you have something better I'm sure Serena wouldn't mind." She set a small closed tube, used by Revana to hold important documents, on the table.
"Feel free to check it out whenever you feel like it. We're in absolutely no hurry." Kaleb said with a contented smile as he patted his stomach.

Achkaerin:
Peter read through the treaty proposal and then handed it over to Serenity and his son Simon to glance at, it wasn't surprising when Serenity pulled out a pen and along with Simon spent five minutes very quickly going through it with Sakura and Sarah right there as well, Peter just had to giggle "They've been involved in so many summits" he said looking at Evelyn "It's got to the point of them being very well versed in how to do this."
Eventually Serenity handed a much more scribbled version of it with additions, arrows and crossings on it to Evelyn "We'll get a more formal version done later but this is what we think works." she said
