[ When the warp band flickers to life, the image is held steady, revealing a rather serious-looking young woman with silvery hair and dark blue eyes. Though her shoulders are bare, the rest of her body is clad in plate mail, with feathers shaped to form wings on either side of her face. A bright blue swablu is perched on her left shoulder, still puffy with the fluff of the recently hatched.

Her lips press into a thin line, before she takes a breath to address her viewers. ]

I am Gwendolyn of the Ragnanival Tribe. I have been sent here to represent them in Union on behalf of the Citadel, and offer our strength in battle if Union would have use of it. It is the least we can offer, after the aid your people gave us.

[she shifts very slightly, looking momentarily uncomfortable] I have also brought a gift on behalf of my tribe, some arms and armor that may be of interest to those among you who are warriors. Our craftsmen are noted for the fine quality of their blades.

I am also told there are other Valkyrie present within the city. I would be grateful if I could be directed to them.

...Thank you for your time.

[with that, there's a polite bow of her head, and the feed ends]

Then I would recommend something to protect your body. Even at ranged, you may prefer gauntlets to protect your hands, or.. [The fine gorget-band is lifted] Protecting your throat is important. You never know when someone might breach your guard. This one is also fine enough to double as jewelry, if that is your preference.

[Ahri nodded, taking in the information in earnest and making sure to keep it in mind for future battles.]

Sounds good! You're really amazing at this aren't you? I bet you're a really good leader! [She smiles, trying out some of the neater gauntlets that attracted her attention and the gorget that Gwendolyn offered.]

Oh. I. Don't know about that. But it is important to know how to outfit yourself correctly, and know what armor suits the proper occasion.

[Not that the praise doesn't bring a bit of colour to her cheeks! How kind. (Myris nods her head approvingly from behind the silver haired girl.) Still, the choice falls to Ahri as to what item will suit her best!]

[Ahri nods animatedly and tries on each piece. She dances around the area to feel the weight of them on her body and how she could use them should she need them when in combat. Soon enough she was doing more combat oriented moves and showing off her swiftness with a smile.]

I can see what you mean, I think your options are great! So I can really have these?

Of course. We would not bring these as gifts if we did not intend for those of Union to have them!

[then a small smile forms] And should there be interest, perhaps our smiths might send more such items for trade later.

[Ahri beams and winks at her.] Thank you very much then! These are wonderful~

[At the mention of trade, Ahri looks over the other pieces of armor for gifting before turning back to her.]

Are you kidding? With stuff this amazing, I'm surprised some of your smiths don't just set up shop here~ I bet they'd do great.

[Though her more mischievous side did have her siding up closer to Gwendolyn with a mock coy look on her face.]

Now then~ You need to let me repay you for such wonderful gifts~

Citadel does not often export many goods to outsiders. But trade is important between neighbours and allies, and if any are to consider it, Ragnanival will do our best to lead by example.

[she frowns though, a tiny one: the traditionalists in the tribe would still look to the elder-regeant before agreeing to it. But that would be her sister's concern. not hers. Then she blinks, caught offguard by the sudden side siddle, and she blinks a bit owlishly at the firefox-woman.]

..Ah? There is no payment required for a gift.

[Her reaction causes Ahri to pause, if only in amusement as she shrugs and smiles innocently back at Gwendolyn.]

Well, if you insist... though. If you ever wish anything of me, please feel free to ask hm? You've been most kind and I really enjoy having fun with those who treat me well~
