After their talk through the network, Jayce got a little busy with an Aquila adventure with Viktor, a successful one he'd say, but he reaches out with a message to Wanda to meet at his tower. Rio as per usual shuffles out the second she senses someone in their space to run excited circles around Wanda in greeting. She likes to bring visitors to wherever her 'fathers' are, and in this case it's in the large lab they used to call home. The one in Cadens is smaller and rustic in comparison, so sometimes Jayce prefers to be in here with all its space.
He often is in here trying to think of bigger-picture inventions that he hasn't figured out how to make work in Abraxas yet. Some of it has to do with no access to the crystals, although if they can pitch the city something big and worthwhile, they'd probably get access or permission. While they were in some trouble after Viktor's cure, it seems to have all been forgiven after their successful tracker located the captured.
Today he has put on his desk two small cases. One that holds his Hextech crystals and another has the equivalent of what they have in Free Cities. They don't look ultimately that different, outside of the vivid color of his own arcane glowing. He told Wanda he'd show her what the crystals of New Magic looks like.
When Rio makes it up to him, she nudges his leg and then lies down in her giant bed he made like the princess she is. Jayce smiles at Wanda. "Hey, remember how we met the first time in here, and you were thinking about beating me up?"
[OOC: timing shortly before the Old Public Hall's reopening]
The reason Jayce invited Sam and Claude for a drink at another tavern is because at the Sarstina they're much more likely to be distracted or interrupted by other Summoned coming in and out. Which typically is fine but he thinks it's for the best that they can talk privately without worrying about that. He got them a table in a corner out of the way too and provided the drinks.
Jayce has been a part of a government body before and it went terribly, but he's feeling very optimistic about this. As he told Viktor, he's not worried with Sam and Claude involved. The problem with his past experience was in part due to the highly corrupt officials around him. Free Cities may have some of those, but this is about the Summoned.
"Okay, so drumroll." Jayce playfully taps his fingers on the top of the table. Not loudly or anything. Just for fun. "Not only is the Aquila portal approved of, but Jaskier and Alucard want us to announce it at their Old Public Hall re-opening festival. The first day is tomorrow."
The flyers are spreading out tonight and everything in Cadens will be signaling it as the five days go on. Jayce is excited to share the news with everyone. It was his motion so he put it in officially, and that's why he heard back. But it's a triumph for all of them, really.
"Aquila will be joining the festival so it's a pretty good display of togetherness. There will be a fee for the portal since they're very commerce-heavy, but it still beats two weeks on the road."
