[ Steve agrees that Jaskier and Alucard have done a great job with the memorial park and he'd like to explore it when it's not night and also packed with people. There are some Summoned creations here as well, a decorative armillary sphere made by Viktor and Jayce among other things, but there will be time to look at all of that in more detail tomorrow morning.
For now, he's focused in on Claude, nodding when he expresses some uncertainty about whether or not the Conclave will function the way that they're hoping. It's fair to feel suspicious about the entire enterprise, since it's possible that it's a stunt meant to distract and appease them. It could just as easily lead to no real notable change for them when the Free Cities proves unwilling to listen to their suggestions.
But there's only one way to find out, and with forthright representatives like Claude, Sam, and Jayce at the helm, Steve is sure that something will come of it, if only because they're all stubborn enough to push for it. ]
Don't sell yourself short. [ He mirrors Claude's smile, then thinks back to the brief yet revealing speech that Claude gave when putting himself up for votes. ] It sounds like you've got plenty of experience. More than the other two combined, even. [ Sam's good with people and taking a leadership role, but he didn't have a background in politics anywhere close to what Claude had described about his role with the Leicester Alliance. And while Steve doesn't know as much about Jayce, he's going to guess that he's more of a blacksmith and engineer and less of a politician. ]
