[ There's an easy smile on his face as he listens to Jayce speak and as he nods at important points. This is a big occasion all around: from Jaskier and Alucard's hard work he applauds, to the festival in all its grandeur and offerings, and now to the portal offered to them all.
Enthusiasm is no less obvious on Claude's part when he steps forward at Jayce's cue. This speech is something he feels confident in giving as well from years of them, and it comes as naturally as ever as he looks out to the crowd. ]
As Jayce mentioned, the portal to Aquila now means easy travel between not only there and Cadens, but also from Libertas to Aquila. This links the cities in ways that will only stand to benefit each thanks to their fellow Free Cities citizens and the Summoned alike. There's chances for trade, learning more about and appreciating the arts and history of each city, and supporting each economy by visiting markets, shops, and trying new restaurants. The latter is something I'm looking forward to myself.
[ Is he kidding? Maybe, but there's a grin to go with that which suggests it really might be something on his own agenda while visiting. But - there's also more (important) things to be mentioned yet. ]
More importantly, this truly is an exciting time. This portal offers an opportunity for the Free Cities to be more united than ever by granting access we've not had before.
In addition to that, we'd also like to thank Nocwich for their support. Artisans from Ikorr and Luna are here as well, and we encourage you to support them as much as they'rve been supporting all of us.
[ With that, he'll step back as well for Sam to take the spotlight. ]
