Raleris is just flooded with visitors these days, huh?
I mean uh
he would be
if there were any plans for him to have other visitors
>_> <_< >_>
He really needs to get out more.

You have my deepest apologies - and that's even before I realized that you own a bunch of swords!
I'm sure that Raef cleaned the blade very thoroughly with his napkin.
(Maral would have been a hoot at this party, too, as would so many other characters. I tried to keep the guest list to 'walkers who have already met Aloise, just for the sake of my own sanity.)
I'd actually be more worried over the cake considering that you generally make sure to polish your sword every so often to keep rust from taking on it.
I think it's perfectly appropriate to limit the guest list. Though how Fisco and Beryl ended up knowing Raef and Aamir is an excellent question in and of itself. They are... not a group you'd expect to meet.
I was actually thinking Aloise should meet Raleris first, and then meet Maral through Raleris.
It feels organic that she would go to a GIANT FRACKING LIBRARY and then get referred to Maral for something or other. Hmm... Maybe Aloise is looking for one of the artifacts the Maral has squirreled away? Not... any of the scary ones. Something minor, like a keystone or something that is rumored to unlock an ancient temple so she can go in and transcribe the hieroglyphics for future study.
But she doesn't know where the keystone is, but she heard about this GIANT FRACKING LIBRARY where maybe she can find out? So she goes.
Maral's open for business, though I would hope at least to get the story establishing her character out before anyone starts running with it.
It's just like I said in Maral's vote though, Aloise would probably be good for Maral since she very easily ends up as tucked away as her artifacts.
