[Rhan raises a finger. Whether she's joining Shiro on the planet saving count or merely hitting in isn't terribly clear, but it's not like any of this is serious, right?]
Us Car-boosh don't have a hope under the twin suns to win the Nectar. We're there to craft an alliance with the people who do. Which is why we get to talk to everyone and make deals with all of the above. The Hyrypians won't give it to anyone except the big three - anything else would be suicide. So we've a very clear reason to make nice with everyone in the room - along with, of course, a half dozen other minor delegate groups. No one wants to be on the wrong side when someone wins the war, right?
As for why they want the Nectar-- it's the key to winning the war, darling. Which means a lot of land and resources for the victor. They all have very complicated reasons for wanting to win the war, though I suspect it more or less boils down to those two. It usually does.
[She waves her hand, easy and dismissive. Let's focus away from planet killing and moral questions, yes? They've debated the point enough.]
I like this idea of group A and B though. All the officials and their staff, then all their entitled relatives and servants. Gossip is as useful to us as official conversations. Maybe even more so.
