Lartia chuckles. "Really? Well, you're a bit wide of the mark there. You're a good man, nephew, but by Azura you do take after your father's family."
"There's no shame in that," Stratos says with a shrug. Theirs is a proud history. Even if it does bring a twinge, that he has so little connection to his mother. He has other things on his mind. As Lartia makes a sound of agreement, he drops his voice, and the tavern around them seems to get a little more hushed. "We have another way home, aunt. A much faster one than ship or horse. We can even return you here after the wedding. You will come with us, won't you?"
"You have me intrigued." Is it teleportation? It sounds like teleportation. That mode of travel used to be major business around here. Still, she takes a moment to think it over with a frown. She does have work here. Promises to keep. But the affairs of elves never move as swiftly as humans. And if the wizards in her family can get her there and back quickly...
"Now or never, I say. We've got to enjoy these things while we can. Count me in - on two conditions." She takes a pull from her mug. "One, I'm not leaving until morning. Two, you've got to run an errand for me, Stratos. There's someone I'm supposed to meet, and you'll have to wait for him."
