Vythmiirik shrugged one of her shoulders, the wing on that side making a slight rustling noise as she moved. "Possibly, but only the clan elder knows it's exact location so whilst they might be looking for it, they might not have found it yet?" she doesn't sound sure, but then again; she doesn't know a lot about it either so Vythmiirik doesn't really know what to make of it.
A faint blush makes it's way across her scales "Well thank you kindly, that was very sweet of you to say; I wish more people would notice it" she smiles and gives a courtly curtsey in return; seeming to be in a much brighter mood. "How does 16:30 sound? I'll be done for the day by then and it'll give mother some time to make the food"

*He can't help but smile warmly at her brightening mood. If he wasn't so preoccupied with his mission he would enjoy making other folks happy.*
"I think I can kill some time long enough to make that. Anything I should bring? I don't have much to work with in my hotel room in terms of appliances but I could at least bring drinks."

Vythmiirik tilted her head in thought "No I don't think there's anything you need to bring, though if you'd like to then of course you may." It wasn't going to be an overly formal, and the elder had already given their approval; so it wouldn't be as big an issue as her bringing home a stranger to talk about family secrets. "Is there anything I'd need to tell Mother? Any allergies or intolerances?" best to check that now rather than worry about it later.

*He shakes his head*
"No allergies. I'll try to make some quick snacks at least."

Vythmiirik nodded, "Sure, you can do that. I look forward to seeing you then" she smiles brightly. Vythmiirik hopes her mother's knowledge is going to be helpful for Sasco's planned expedition, or whatever he planned to do.

((sure))
Vythmiirik was setting the table at her family home, waiting for the doorbell to ring. She'd set out the cutlery and was letting the tea steep in the teapot, placing the sugar, milk and honey on the table. Vythmiirik had also filled a jug with water, just in case this went on for a bit, and added a couple of slices of lemon to give it a little flavour. She'd added some tumblers to the table to go with the tea cups, and had placed them in a way that either choice could be an option without being rude.
Her mother was busy making light foods which could be eaten in a sort of buffet style, as neither of them knew what kind of things Sasco liked to eat. Her father was busy in his workshop, finishing up some repairs for the day; he would be joining them later.

*Sasco paused in front of the foyer as he tried to gather his bearings. Meeting a clan elder was stressful enough but now he was meeting direct relatives. Despite the slightly less formal gathering the idea still filled him with dread. As stubborn as he can be about following his clan's instructions he still cared immensely about how his actions could affect their reputation. He was well aware that there were so many ways this could go wrong. He placed his hand over his upper chest, allowed himself a feel deep breaths, then did one last check of the scarf that Vythmiirik made for him making sure it was looking neat.*
"Ancestors above, I hope wearing this doesn't give them the wrong idea."
*He straightened himself up, tilted his chin a bit upward ensuring that he looked confident but not snooty, then firmly pressed the doorbell.*

Vythmiirik perked up as she heard the doorbell ring, "Mother! Our guest is here!" she called out to the kitchen as she walked to the door. A sound of acknowledgement came as her mother came out of the kitchen to finish setting out the buffet table with a variety of dishes, some hot some cold.
Vythmiirik opened the door once she reached it and smiled brightly "Hello Sasco, come in!" she steps back holding the door open to allow the copper dragonborn into her home. It's a simple place, but well cared for, the entrance hall is a pale ivory colour coat hooks on the right wall, with wooden stairs to the left leading to the first floor. Through a doorway at the end of the entrance hall, there is the living room.
An oak table sits along one wall; on it there is a small buffet. Richly coloured tapestries adorn the key walls, obviously woven by Vythmiirik herself, there is a sofa with a couple of armchairs and a coffee table, with a basic home entertainment system along the front wall. A window is to the left giving ample natural light. It is a modestly sized room, but large enough for a family of three, plus a few guests. "Please take a seat, any one you like. I'll introduce you to mother" Vythmiirik says as she indicates the sofa and chairs.

*He smiled and stepped inside after wiping his feet. He was carrying two bowls, one in each arm. One contained what appeared to be some sort of stuffed griddled bread while the other had a salad heavy with herbs and oil.*
"Thank you. Is there a place I can set these before I take a seat?"
*He noticed the coat hooks and intended to hang his coat once his hands were free.*

Vythmiirik smiles, "Sure, there's a table in the living room" she points to the door "If you want a moment to take your coat off, I can hold them for you?" she asks pointing at his snacks.
"These look delicious, here's hoping you'll enjoy mother's food too" she added with a slightly cheeky grin at the joke.

*He gladly offers the snacks to her and hangs his coat and neatly places the scarf around the collar. He then takes the snacks back.*
"Knowing you, I'm sure your mother has quite some talents of her own. Living room you say."
*He walks towards the living area while glancing around the home. It was certainly comfortable for him. He gently places his dishes in any empty place he could find.*

She took the snacks in her arms whilst Sasco put his coat on the hanger and waited for him to take them back once he was done.
"I'm sure she'll appreciate it" she replies as Vythmiirik follows him into the living room. After a few moments another Silver dragonborn comes into the livingroom, carrying a pan of some sort of cooked meats in pastry; it's very clear that Vythmiirik takes after her mother in looks, though her mother is a darker silver colour, with greener membranes on her spinal crest and wings. Vythmiirik smiles at her mother and waits a moment as her mother puts the pan down before turning to look at her offspring and visitor.
"Mother, this is Sasco; the one I told you about. Sasco this is my mother Ornisk"

*He places his hand upon his upper chest and bows*
"Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Ornisk. I come from Clan Sonoris of Hong Kong. Thank you for having me in your home. Vythmiirik has been of great help to me and it's an honor to share a meal with all of you."
*He lifts himself back up, ready to extend a hand if the mother prefer the shaking of hands method of introduction.*

Ornisk exchanges a brief glance with her daughter before giving a formal (and quite courtly) curtsey in return "The honour is mine, Vythmiirik has spoken well of you. Please avail yourself of my hospitality, may we eat together as distant cousins" she returns, her voice soft and warm at the same time. Whether or not she knew of his clan name she did not show; but had responded as protocol dictated. "Please do not feel the need to be formal on my account, my mate will be along shortly; but has informed me earlier today that as he will be late, we may start before he arrives." Ornisk regally took a seat on one of the armchairs and indicated to Sasco that he could take a plate from the buffet first, as the honoured guest of the household.
Vythmiirik nodded to her mother with a smile and moved over to show Sasco the table, once her mother had sat down. "Father has a rush order on, so he's just finishing up" Vythmiirik explains to Sasco. "Tea is in the teapot, cups right next to it. There's water in the jug if you need it. Cutlery is on the left next to the stacked plates; we generally eat using the coffee table for meals like this, so don't worry about putting your plate on it" she felt it was best to give a quick rundown so he didn't feel too much like a fish out of water. There was lots of dishes of what might be called finger foods, but a few larger things that would be best eaten with a fork, or cut with a knife if preferred.

*He smiled towards Ornisk as she took a seat, then followed Vythmirrik's lead to the table. Once she was finished explaining how things worked he took a plate and began helping himself a mix of thirds, starting with the dishes that appeared to have the most meat in them then topping off the dish with one of his griddled bread. He took a seat and neatly arranged the utensils but waited until the other two have gotten their own dish.*
"I could say many good things about Vythmiirik in return, but I'm sure you are well aware of her talents. She was much helpful in getting me oriented with the area."

Vythmiirik waited until Sasco had picked up his choices before stacking up her own on a plate, with many different foods (some of Sasco's cooking too) and balancing it carefully on her tail , picked up her tea, utensils and the like. After which she moved out of the way of the buffet table, and placed them on the coffee table, giving her mother a sly grin as she did; before sitting down carefully. Ornisk smiled at her daughter clearly amused by her behaviour, and gets up gracefully walking over to select her own choices, taking a sampling of Sasco's provided offerings too, in order to see if they were to her taste. Once she was satisfied she brought them over and placed them down too, before sitting down; a picture of regal grace.
"She has always been a helpful child, quick to make friends." Ornisk replies with a fond look at her now grown child; before adding in a quieter and slightly anger filled tone "Unfortunately people are not always kind in return," she does not add more in that vein, but does add on in a much brighter voice "I am glad that both of you get along so well; it's good to meet with the other clans sometimes."
Vythmiirik shrugs "It's okay Mother" she looks to Sasco and gives him a rueful smile "Incident happened whilst they were travelling here, before I was born, Mother never really forgot it" she tells him in a conspirational tone of voice to explain her mother's reaction. "Anyhow" she adds speaking a bit louder and brighter "Sasco wanted to ask you some questions Mother"

*Sasco looks at Vythmiirik with a bit of amazement as he watches her balance the food with her tail. After everyone is situated and he hears her comment about Ornisk's experience he nods understandably towards Vythmiirik.*
"Oh, I don't think we need to hurry to those quite yet. Don't want to miss an opportunity to enjoy the food!"
*He takes a bite with likely the biggest smile Vythmiirik has seen from him so far before turning back to her.*
"And your father is working on a project? It sounds like you are quite a crafty bunch."

Vythmirrik smiles "In your own time I suppose" as she digs into her own food with glee; Ornisk smiles as well and starts to eat, though with a lot less gusto than her daughter.
"Yes, she takes after her father in that aspect. I've always been more of an explorer and researcher myself." Ornisk replies with a fond and faraway look. "Though I don't really go out exploring any more these days; but I do still study new things when I can," she sounds only a little melancholy as though whilst she misses it, she does not regret having to give it up. Some things are more precious to her perspective.
About half way through their eating the door opens up again and a tall, golden, dragonborn comes through the door, unlike his mate and daughter he is wingless; with a crest of spines over his head and two short whiskers on his muzzle, and wearing a carpenters apron, tools still in pockets. It appears that he took the time to brush himself down, but clearly he's just come from the workshop. "Hello one and all!" The greeting is spoken full of warmth and cheer, the room feels just that much warmer by the force of his personality, he seems very cheerful.
"Martivir, good to see you could join us" Ornisk replies with a fond gaze before standing up to make introductions whilst Vythmiirik herself places her plate down and grins as she watches her parents, they are very adorable together. "This is Sasco, Sasco my mate Martivir" she indicates Sasco as she does so, this is a slightly less formal introduction as it is somewhat clear that Martivir isn't too concerned about such things, though Ornisk herself seems compelled to follow some form of protocol.
Martivir waves "Nice ta meet you! Sorry about the attire, just came from the workshop. Hope your stay has been good so far?" he asks with a wide smile as he piles up a plate of his own.

*He listens intently to Ornisk noticing the change in tone. That quickly changes once Martivir comes in. He is almost overwhelmed by the sheer energy that the gold dragon radiates. Sasco smiles and waves back after Martivir is introduced. He intends to get up to shake the father's hand but quickly stops himself as the gold dragonborn gets his hands full.*
"Likewise. My time here has been lovely, many thanks to your daughter. I hope your project is going well?"
