Lehasti smiles good-naturedly at Muminofrah, nodding her acknowledgment of the noblewoman's compliments; as the party waits for the haty-a's arrival, she hovers near the mountain of cushions but responds with noncommittal pleasantries and otherwise attempts to minimize her continued presence.

When the haty-a does appear, the paladin inclines her head toward the high official respectfully, clasping one fist across her breast in a gesture that is both salute and apology. She extends one open hand to accept the proffered documents, bowing once more toward the haty-a. "We are eternally grateful for her excellency's understanding," she murmurs in a conciliatory tone. Turning to Muminofrah, the paladin waits for a lull in conversation before addressing her once more: "We are in your debt, great one; gods willing, our research may be speedily completed and our task here finished, that we may return and enjoy the pleasure of your presence while you tarry in this city. In the meanwhile, poor gratitude would we show to make any less than full use of your generous gift; to that end, please excuse us to make preparation for the efforts of the days ahead."

Lehasti pauses to allow Muminofrah to respond as appropriate before guiding Vershab and the others from the barge and back toward the inn to prepare.
