"If we had been alone with my Alphas, says the Emperor, you can be sure that at least one of us would have made a naughty joke about that. Anyway, Sultana, this Saltah was delicious, continues Anax as he pushes his now empty plate in front of him, followed by his wife and friends. Once again, your cooks know their jobs, he finishes with a large smile.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Only a small bit, replies Anna to Adil's question. The last thing I want is to eat too much, and feel tired afterwards during the concert.
-Likewise, add Pavel, Alicia and Anax.
Although the glare sent by the Sultana to her Grand Vizier was not lost to any of the Scarlet Eagleans, they knew better than to comment about it. Although Alicia was very tempted at a moment to make a sarcastic remark about not putting yourself at odds with your boss, in addirion of your guests.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"You can be proud of the Cherries, says the Empress, I'm sure they'll be one of the best groups of Handmaidens this Palace has ever seen.
-As for us liking their song, continues the Emperor, I don't see why we wouldn't, since their accent was good, and it happens to be the marching song of one of the Rapid Action Tactical Battalions of our Personal Brigade. That would have been the same if they had sung Panzerlied, which is the song of the 5th RATB. I'll have to tell tou the story behind this unit,it is a special and unusual one.
-So, Sultana, do you know by any chance when people are going to interact with us at the concert? asks Pavel. Before, or maybe during the entract, if there's one?"

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Sorry to dissapoint you, Grand Vizier, replies Alicia with a small smirk. Tonight, we plan to let people come to us, rather than going directly to contact. This way, we have more time to adapt to our interlocutors.
-Indeed, continues Anaximander, since not everyone tonight is thrilled to see us.
And no Pavel, continues the Emperor as he turns his gaze to his faithful bodyguard, I see you coming with your question if we should take our stab vests. I don't have to remind you that the cloaked daggers mentioned by Damir are metaphorical, and should something happen to us,the perpetrators would find their necks facing a Tabardariyya axe faster than they can blink. Understood?", to which the male Colonel replies with a simple nod before resuming eating, just like his colleagues.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"What you said, couldn't be more true, Grand Vizier, says Anaximander, and I also had it in mind, but we thought it was obvious for anyone here, so that's why we didn't mention it. However, I'm sure that tonight, we'll be among the youngest people in the room, and that is a fact that some people may try to use to their advantage.
-Which can explain why, continues Anna, a small part of us will tonight be in soldier mode, thinking from where the threat may come. And what's this story about nibbles? adds the Empress with a raised eyebrow to Razia.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:When Adil makes his remark about the Sultana, the four Americans join.the laughter, with Pavel saying: "Smart move, Khan", as the nobleman corrects himself.
"Aah, this kind of nibble, says Anna with a surprised tone. I don't know why,but I was thinking about this kind, she adds as she points to her neck, in the space between her neckerchief and her neck. Anyway, it is a very good saying, especially when you have such delicious food, she finishes as she points to her now empty plate.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Meh, don't worry Sultana, replies Alicia as she picks one treat, looking like a raspberry. Our line of work, and the training that goes with it, help us reduce that risk.
-Indeed, continues the Empress as she picks a strawberry, only to put it into her husband's mouth, before taking one again for herself, a small piece of pineapple. Ddon't be surprised when you'll see me tomorrow doing a 200 meter -carry, with my husband on my back. Since you need to rest honey, it'll be good for both of us, she adds to Anaximander.
- I couldn't agree more with you, replies the Emperor as he kisses his wife quickly on the lips, making Pavel mutter "Get a room already", causing the Imperial couple to stick both of their tongues at him, causing Alicia in turn to chuckle a bit.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Indeed we are, replies Pavel to Adil as he picks a date, before eating it. The subject will be The Lord of the Rings. Can't say I have read it before.
-Although Yuri will accompany us, he hasn't read it either, so neither of us three may have something relevant to answer, but we shall see how it goes. But you got me intrigued, what's this story about a broadcast? Are there going to be television cameras or what?

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"No, not a single one, replies Pavel to Amana. We've always been more interested in Star Wars. But we know some of the memes behind the franchise, like the famous My precious, from Gollum, or They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard.. That's all we'll have as arguments. It's thinner than a paper sheet, I know, but it's a start.
-Then I'll be sure to let my Squadron know about it, so that they watch it, replies Anaximander as he picks a litchi and pops it into his mouth before continuing. A question just crossed my mind, what would have happened if we had come disguised, for example me as Sauron and Pavel and Yuri as Nazguls?
- I don't think doing this would have helped you appear less ridiculous than you'll already be for not knowing anything about the topic at hand,replies Alicia with a bit of sarcasm.
-I would remark to you, Alicia, answers the Emperor, that we'll be doing adult things, unlike you who's going to play an elaborated version of My Little Pony". This sentence causes Pavel and Anna to chuckle at the female's Morozov, who replies with a simple "Touché."
-Joke aside, Anax, what do you think we should wear tomorrow? asks Pavel to his friend.
-Let's see...I think our Service Uniform with a plate carrier over it, and you taking your MP7, would be enough. After all, One does not simply walk into Mordor, finishes the Emperor with a malicious smirk.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Then Service Uniforms it will be, replies Anaximander, because none of us packed Business suits. Anyway, there's indeed no need to arrive looking like yo're going to fight Smaug. The only thing that may look unsettling may be our pistols holsters on our thighs, but I think we'll switch to shoulder holsters and hide them underneath our Scarlet Rangers black leather jackets. What? There's not only your Naval Aviators who can wear cool stuff, you know, adds the Emperor with a smirk.
-You're right, continues Pavel, maybe we'll find something to draw a parallel from Star Wars."
"Don't worry, replies Alicia, at least you have something else to blossom. About their skills with a bow, we ask something similar to the Mounted Troops of the Imperial Guard, which is to be able to shoot a target at 250 meters with their M14 rifle while riding. And trust me, at this game, Anna is one of the best I know.
-Oh, it's nothing, answers the Empress with a small blush.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"We've already seen a bit of it with your nephew a few hours ago, replies Anaximander to al-Zahir. And I don't doubt that it will be a lot of fun, continues the Emperor as he picks a piece of apple and puts it in his mouth. By the way, I completely forgot to ask what was this dessert's name."
"That's some professionalism, replies Alicia to Razia. You can be proud of your grandaughter, Sultana, adds the female Morozov, not saying that the instructors of the Alphas during their training had them doing similar things, always trying harder than the others.
-Of course I can! exclaims Anna in answer to the question. Many people consider I was born with a natural talent for it, and I tend to think it's true, since I was the one who always came first each time we had to learn a new thing. That's why I helped Anax, because he had some trouble at first, but with some hard work, he managed it.
-And it was the contrary for aviation, continues the Emperor as he turns too to the Sultana. I had a natural talent for it, and I helped Anna, who worked hard to get to her actual level. To give you a comparison, it's like Jimmy Hendricks and Eric Clapton. The firdt was a great guitarist naturally, he didn't have to work much to get to his level, while the second had to work very hard to get it.
Anyway, may we please have some tea?"

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:"Interesting, answers Pavel. It would be problematic indeed. Thank you, he adds with a bow of the head to the Handmaiden serving him tea, as well as his compatriots.
-Uh, to calm this sort of beast, I would rather rely on my M320 40mm grenade launcher, or on an AT4 antitank rocket launcher, simply replies Anaximander as he takes a sip of his tea. And yes,we met Aldhyib, bit we only saw her horse from afar. I wonder how the wolfie would have interacted with Gopnik and Cairo.
-Those are the two Appalachian Wolfdogs that are attached to the Alphas, explains Anna. As you know, we domesticated this special breed of wolves around 500 years ago. Gopnik is under the care of Yuri and Patricia, and Cairo under the care of Patrick and Alexandra. Although we advised Yuri and Paty to not take Gopnik, since we know Sandwolves have a tendency to be territorial, and none of us would want.to create a bloodbath just because a dog handler couldn't keep his beast on a leash, no?" finishes the Empress with a raised eyebrow.
