Roland lifted his glass and toasted Sitandria on her new title and position. "Congratulations, your grace. I came here today to celebrate the ascension of one person to the Thaneship, and here I am actually congratulating both of you. Good job."
Roland spoke a toast in a human native dialect that neither elf was familiar with, a lush, lilting language where both sorrow and joy could be expressed in stronger words than in the human common tongue. Once he was done, he lifted his glass to both Keldon and Sitandria, saluted them both, then spent a few minutes toasting Sharinya, Palacris, God, crown, king, and Looie.
He said little of consequence after that, and merely cheerfully stared down at his glass, filling it from the wine bottle should it empty.
