Valois Al'Gray

It was crowded in the antechamber of the Chume's throne-room. Valois stood shoulder to shoulder with her attendants and guards who were, in turn, struggling to maintain a socially acceptable distance from their counterparts of a dozen other noble houses. Servants of the palace had moved among them as best they could, offering refreshments – glasses of cordial, fresh fruit, and other delicacies – but the gesture of hospitality did little to suppress the murmurs of discontent.

Valois gave an exaggerated sigh. One of the two dozen Chume'doro stationed around the room met the Ducha's eyes for a moment, but said nothing.

The royal court was not to be kept waiting, not even by their Chume – and not least of all after what they had witnessed (http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?55383-Abandonment-10-045).
