If anyone knows the difficulties in trying to hide emotions in front of people, it's Isidor. Practice is the only reason she's gotten as good as she is. So when she sees the tears building in Harrowheart's eyes, she doesn't comment. She doesn't even let her gaze linger.

"Don't worry about the Archon." She offers him an oddly gentle, encouraging smile. Then her eyebrows lift and she reaches into her jacket, pulling out two envelopes. She hands one to him first. It's a fine quality paper with elegant writing with embossed gold designs. "Your invitation to Runa and Viatorus' engagement ceremony. You have a plus one. I'll pick you up."

Then she offers up the other envelope. "This is a guide for you. I know this will be a very different kind of event to what you're used to. The people there will be different to the people you're used to. I wanted to give you a few guidelines to work with."
