Trace: Flora, there you are!
Trace: And… you’re naked again…
Tavernkeeper: That’s it! That Keidran of yours has broken our most basic laws! She needs to be detained!
Flora: Trace…
Trace: Detained? You’re not going anywhere with her!
Tavernkeeper: Out of the way, Human! You have no say in this…
Trace: (in Basitin) Then I’ll make it my say! I declare this Keidran as my mate. Now, according to your own laws…
Trace: (in Basitin) Declared mates are treated with equal status, protected from orders to harm one another, and share political immunities. Therefore, Flora has the same diplomatic immunity as I do. You can’t touch her.
Basitin Soldier: (in Basitin) He… knows our language and our laws! But… surely a Human declaring a Keidran his mate?!
Tavernkeeper: (in Basitin) Sigh… the law doesn’t specify… Fine, Human. You win. She can go, for now.
Flora: Wow, Trace, that was amazing! But how did you know their language?
Trace: …Language?
