The chancellor ate a fork full of the pastry and was delighted of the texture and taste in her mouth. The hot drink complimented the dish too. It was sweet, a little like warmed-up grape juice.

"I think, you will hardly meet a Gianlucian, who doesn't. Even though....I know a few, even in my cabinet."
She took another sip of the hot juice and another bite of the pastry. After she swallowed this, she continued: "A blend...I'm not as much of a connoiseur as the King and Leader is. I often just buy a cocoa-to-go - of course in my own reusable cup - at Teezeit. Or a tea, we get good leaves from the VPRB, Huawan and Erinor."

After a bit more talk about where food products from both nations come from and why or why not the quality from neighbouring countries is better for some products, than when they are produced in one's own country, the dinner eventually concluded.

"Now I'm full, but it was nice to experience original Sedunnic cuisine. Over on Cordilia we also have a few Sedunnic restaurants, but they change their menus according to our tastebuds a little, which means you can never be sure about whether what you're eating is authentic or not. Apart from that, it was a pleasure meeting you two, Aenn and Ati. I hope, you'll visit us too at somepoint, whether for work or for a vacation. Maybe you'll stop by in Summer after watching a game at the FWC in Snolland?"

The Innienns smiled and Vimmru nodded. He loved football.

"A great idea, we have a plan then" said Vimmru. "Today has been a pleasure. I hope the rest of your stay in Sedunn will be pleasant and productive. As always, please don't hesitate to call me if needed."

With that, the day ended. The Innienns were taken to a friend of Aenn's in Tromehuk, a town a few kilometres outside the city, where they would spend the night.

***

Tavtid Lekmienn, the current Sedunnic ambassador to the World Forum and former Speaker of the Assembly, sat comfortably in his favourite chair in the Elvira Café, one of the smaller cafés in the Main Building. He had a good view of the main entrance a few floors below, and the Plaza in front of the building. Perhaps it was his consistent "over watch" that made him known as the "grandfather of the WF" among certain diplomats and staff. Or maybe it was the fact that he had been there from the very start, spearheading the construction of the WF complex. And he was often expected to greet foreign dignitaries and introduce them to the WF complex.

It was almost time, and he gazed at the road on the far side of the plaza. And yes, there was a car approaching, very likely with the Chancellor. He stood up and adjusted his tie. He decided to take the elevator down, as they would do quite a lot of walking today. In the elevator he met Helene Meise, the Gianlucian ambassador, who naturally also would greet Sanddorn. For a change, they actually discussed the weather rather than the latest developments in Ryccia or other troubles.

The dark car stopped right in front of the main entrance, under the extend roof. Meise was right, it had just started raining, and it was indeed the typical weather for the season. He was not surprised to see that the car was one of Volkmobil's electrical models. He and Meise approached the Chancellor for handshakes. A few journalists made sure to capture the moment.

"This model will be part of the future, also on Bailtem. There's stiff competition between the nations of the Sunrise Triad, the Izaakians and us on the market, but look outside. People in Sedunn love our products and they will continue doing so!"

The driver was very talkative, but not for any reason. No, he - Paul Tirienn - is the manager of Volksmobil's Beiltemmic markets. The HQ for their operations is located in Lomared, a city north-east of Grovne also at the River Setru. After hearing, his chancellor will come visit Sedunn, he immediately decided to take action and planned together with her guards, that she should leave the government cars or trains behind and instead try out the latest proto-type e-vehicle. The day for this presentation has come, when Sanddorn needed a ride from Goends over to Tillava. "As you might have noticed or, if not, as you can see here in my display, we have enough reach, that we could easily drive into the city centre of Grovne still before I'd need to charge the car. We still hope to increase the performance of the car even more by introducing a new type of battery the latest in 2023 - with a little help of Mr. Opalen."
He was referring to the philanthropist and entrepreneur wildly known as Stream's founder "Qwerty". He also produces batteries and it is rumoured, his batteries will be even more advanced than the newest models, scientists from the USI have presented.

"I'm pleased, we're making this much progress", Marja answered and then she saw from afar the WF building already. She has been here already, still she finds it always an astonishing sight to see this multi-story building more or less in the middle of nowhere.
"What a building, huh? Those blue reflections are making this building look magical under normal circumstances. Well, not when it rains though, now it just looks a bit grey...", was the last comment the manager could make before they finally arrived. A quick farewell and the chancellor stepped out of the vehicle, moving towards the entrance doors, not being distracted by the photographers. There she saw the Sedunnic and Gianlucian ambassadors excited to see them.
"Ambassador Lekmienn. Ambassador Meise."
She shook both of their hands, giving a slight nod to the respective person after calling their name.
"Welcome in Grovne, welcome at the WF Assembly. We're pleased you could make it here with your busy schedule", Ambassador Meise greeted her. "As you have noticed, Ambassador Lekmienn will be at our side for a little while too, as he wants to give you a tour of the complex. After this is finished, I'm looking forward talking to you in my office, which is on the third floor, on the Eastern part of the building", Meise continued.
"What a plan! I hope, the tour also includes a small snack. After the dinner with the Innienns yesterday, I wasn't really eager to eat a heavy breakfast at my hotel earlier, but now...". Precisely in this moment, her stomach made a tiny sound.

Lekmienn chuckled. "Then let's start the tour by visiting my favourite place here: the Elvira Café." He was almost sure he could see Meise roll her eyes slightly. His Austral pronunciation wasn't great, but he wore it well.

They made their way through the spacious entrance hall. Like the facade, it was mostly made of glass and steel, but the reception was clad in oak, and there were plenty of lounge furniture around that looked inviting. The reception and lounge are was partly covered by a smooth wooden roof. Although the place was quite busy and several floors tall, the hall somehow seemed to absorb the worst of the noise. There was a nice clicking sound as their shoes hit dark marble floor though. The Sedunner shared memorable moments from the construction of the building and receptions of foreign dignitaries. He considered telling how he had once folded a paper plane and managed to hit the Transsunerian ambassador making his way up the stairs from the entrance hall from his favourite spot in the café, but decided he better not.

Once seated in the café, having ordered snacks, Lekmienn asked.

"You have been here before. What did you see then, and are there any particular things you would like to see this time?"

"Indeed I have. For a Leaders' Debate, I think. The entourage following the King and Leader were always in a good mood back then - when the work was done at least", she joked around. "In other words, I've seen some offices and the Assembly Hall already. While seeing those again, maybe some things have changed in the meantime, might not be a bad idea, we don't need to stay in those places for very long. I've heard the Tillava Factory was now renovated to become a museum for this organisation?", she asked at the end before taking another bite out of the vegetarian bagel with avocado she had found on display in the café.

"Also I think, I was never on top of this building and Helene [OOC note: Helene Meise, Gianlucian WF-ambassador is meant here] told me, you have a good view over the outskirts of Grovne from here. Is that correct?"

"And while we go everywhere, I'm eager to listen to what problems you envisioned, the WF should tackle next and how we might be able to help there!"
