Aftermath

[Dhomie42]

Taking Carlos' words into consideration, Alexandra decided to put an end to the childish situation, speaking loudly enough for most people in the landing bay to hear.

"Amigos and amigas, we'll do this the simple way. All representatives will be permitted to carry a sidearm, and 2 of your most trusted escorts into the conference room per party."

As she looked around, seeing more people arrived, she noticed that some even lacked personal escorts.

"Although as I see, some of us seem to actually have faith in our alliance, and not bring a whole army to ensure 'nothing goes wrong'. Nevertheless, my previous statement stands. I hope we can consider this 'childish' matter closed. In case someone has a problem with that, participation at the talks isn't mandatory, and I'm sure they know the way out."

Even though her patience was already running thin, she had plenty of others to greet, one even approached her while she was dealing with the GC reps, leader of the currently most powerful Rogue pack, Hemlocke. She decided to take some distance so she can greet him and his attaché without the others 'hearing' them, though the Ortegas remained at her side.

"Señores and señoritas, señor Hemlocke, it's nice to finally meet in person. I apologize for this little...'incident', I guess some people don't know how to behave themselves, nor where they 'stand', if you get my meaning."

Finally having the time to take a closer look at the 'gifts' they brought, she was rather impressed.

"Your gifts are much appreciated, but rather unnecessary, although the irony of you actually being so considerate compared to the others is rather adorable. Nevertheless, I have still a few individuals to meet, and we are still waiting for the Lane Hacker's representative to arrive. If that'd be all, you know where to find me, or perhaps there's something you need right now ?"

Seeing the overall impatience of the guests, it was obvious she was in a hurry, though not that much to show disrespect towards others.
