When Ves ended his call to the council of matriarchs, he let out an exhausted breath.
"This talk was way more stressful than it should." He said. "It's kind of funny as we haven't managed to agree on anything solid during the entire discussion."

"You comported yourself well in front of the effective leaders of the Hexer state. You are becoming more proficient in communicating with heads of states and other powerful figures. You not only did not let yourself become affected by their halo of authority, but also managed to stand your ground despite their insistence on making a deal with you and your clan."
