Ospos wastes no time to bow one last time, then turn tail and leave the chamber behind Opherani.

Nean sighs.

 He once again bows before the queen and then paces out of the room.

"If you insist, Opherani." Ava stands up, then turns to bow to the Everqueen. "It has been a joy and a gift to spend time in your presence, Your Grace. Thank you for your assistance in my journey." Ava looks up just enough to make a moment of eye contact with the Everqueen, then turns to follow Opherani and the group. 

Franz bows and then turns and leaves with everyone.

As Ava joins the group as they leave the hall, Franz introduces himself.

"Hello, my name is Franz Harrington, sole surviving heir of the Harrington fortune."

Franz flashes his signet ring.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ava was it?"

Dril's short hair scraped the tile with his bow as he retreated from the chamber.

Adding to Liafial's omission to Opherani, "They were and may still be heavily intoxicated. If indeed, you are assisting us home, due diligence would allow us to rally our friends, surely." 

Ava: "Yes, yes, you're welcome back any time dear. May you find what you seek." The Everqueen says as you depart.

Liafial and Dril: "What?!" he hisses back, turning to make sure you're all well out of earshot of the throne room. "What in the nine hells did you just say? Why didn't you mention this before?" Opherani runs his fingers through his braids, frustrated and clearly deciding on what to do next. "Fine. You all will remain here for the time being. Ava, make sure they don't get into trouble. I will return in an hour with the rest of the miscreants and then we will leave." he orders. Without waiting for any rebuttal, he turns and begins muttering something , seemingly communicating magically with someone.

Turning to Franz, "Nice to meet you, Franz Herrington. Yes, I go by Ava, but my full name is Avalokitesvara Narajuna."

She turns to glare at Opherani while he sends his magical communications, then turns back to the group. "I'm sorry about Opherani, he's sort of....a prick."

"I am happy we share that opinion. How nice of you to stay with us a little longer, having you on our side instead of Opherani is a fundamental improvement. Once again, pleasure to meet you, Ava."

"Yes, your company is a definite improvement over our, chaperon."

"May I ask, are you from this place? Or are you, like us, a visitor from another world?"

"No, we are truly unwitting travelers. That story you heard me tell the Queen was very much true. Did you travel intentionally?" 

"I very much appreciate the warm reception, especially after having spent the last week with Opherani. 

No, I am a guest here in the Feywilds, much like yourselves. My home is Elysium, and I act as one of the Bounders for my plane. I'm here on something of a...personal duty. My father is the Divine Archivist for the Great Library of Elysium, and he has recently gone missing while searching for a tome. I've set out to find him."

Ospos looks confused, "I don't understand.  You are a Bounder, but at this time you are actually looking for your father.  Yet you are here in the Feywild, but not intentionally?  You've accidentally travelled here?"

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, allow me to elaborate. I've been searching for the past 3 weeks for individuals who had interacted with or seen my father, as a means of trying to ascertain his destination and route to it. Opherani contacted me approximately a week ago with descriptions that he thought might match my fathers, which is what brought me to the Feywild. Unfortunately, all of his leads seem to have fallen through, bringing me back to where I began."

Ospos tries again, using a more direct question, "Can you travel between planes at will?"

Suddenly realizing what information is the most pertinent; "In a manner of speaking, yes. Are you all aware of the Bounders HQ? It exists in, oh what's the term....a pocket dimension. From there, Bounders travel from one plane to another, but these journeys are usually sanctioned by Kizzerai, the director of the Bounders.

She then turns to Liafial "And to answer your question honestly, it kind of fell into my lap. My parents hold positions of great importance in Elysium, with my father as the Divine Archivist and my mother as a healer and diviner of great renown. They are wonderful parents who taught me about the greater aspects of their professions, and made sure I was well educated. Along with my....specific disposition -she gestures lightly across her face- officials and colleagues of my parents were practically begging me to represent Elysium as a Bounder. And it has been a fine vocation thus far." 

"So other than Opherani's information, has any other information you have uncovered about your fathers disappearance, suggested that he had left Elysium and come here, or to any other worlds?"

Nean chuckles. "I honestly can't believe that anyone would voluntarily chose to be represented by Opherani..."

Ava giggles at Neans comment "Makes you wonder, huh?"

Then turns to answer Franz "From what I've been able to gather, it seems that my father left Elysium, then traveled to an as-yet undetermined plane. From the brief descriptions gathered by Opherani, it seems  that he was in the Feywild for little more than a few hours, before continuing on his journey.  I imagine that someone, or something, scared him enough to flee the entire plane and make him reconsider his goal, before setting out once more."

"If we could be of help to you in finding your father, I would offer our assistance, but I'm not sure we could do much to help."

"This is our first trip to another world, and we got here by accident. And now we are going to be sent back home."

Lifaial: (the riftlock only exists around the material plane, travel between other planes isn't restricted as far as you know)

(I'm gonna let this conversation find a natural close before jumping to Opherani returning)
