Diana Prince The Themysciran Art Center is hosting a exhibit of art from Ancient Greece and around the Mediterranean. Among the works to be displayed are some very rarely viewed pieces of sculpture from Themyscira and some never before viewed sculpture from Bana-Mighdall.

The display officially opened earlier in the day. Present to say a few words were Diana, and a bit more gruffly, Artemis, as an Amazon from the desert Amazonian city.

Not long after, Artemis disappeared. These were hardly the sorts of events she enjoyed. Diana, however, remained to greet and welcome visitors and even to answer questions.

Now close to evening, the day has begun to wind down. There are fewer vistors but the exhibit will remain open another few hours. Diana has also remained, though she currently has a cup of tea she is slowly sipping at.
Tim Drake Tim Drake got the word Bruce could not make the exhibit last minute from Alfred, and was asked to make an appearance for the Waynes, and also to show support for a fellow JLA and her people. So it maybe a bit late, but Tim Drake comes in to check out the exhibit. He had planned on coming later in the time with less people, but is here now. He is dressed to impress, and walking tall as he looks around pausing at this exhibit or that one for a moment.
Diana Prince Diana Prince is wearing, well, formal Amazonian wear. Meaning a proper and pristine white toga, a belt around her waist from which her lasso hangs. She has her hair fully down, the wild curls spilling about her shoudlers. Her bracers and tiara fully visible. She finishes the cup of tea and sets the cup aside, turning to walk toward the main display area. A large marble bust of Hippolyta and another of Antiope flank a full marble statue of Aphrodite, often regarded as the patron of the Amazons. She looks to the statues, letting memories come flowing back to her.
Tim Drake Tim Drake will look over and as he sees Diana, he will head over to her, walking softly as is habit for the Bat family. Once he is is just a bit behind her and to the side he will clear his throat softly to let her know he is there. "So, any of the pieces here your work?"
Diana Prince Diana Prince looks to Tim and smiles. "Mr. Drake. It is a pleasure to see you again. You've been well I hope?" Her clear blue eyes shine with warmth. Than a gentle shake of her head, "Mmm.. no. I am afraid my artistic attempts were abject failures" she says with amusement "Every clay pot or amphora I tried to create always ended up as a bowl for fruit." Her eyes sparkle. Is she joking or really not that talented at least with pottery?
Tim Drake Tim Drake looks over and says "Well, I am sure, there are plenty of clay bowls on your mothers pantry shelves." He smiles and did he just say he is sure her mom put her drawings on the fridge? Perhaps. "I am doing well, and how are you Miss Prince?" He asks in return bowing his head to her in respectful greeting.
Diana Prince Diana Prince laughs merrily. "You simply have no idea, Tim." Her eyes sparkle. "And you may call me Diana. We are family friends after all." What is unsaid but still conveyed: Also allies. She smiles warmly and returns the bow.

"These were created by artists not long after my mother and Antiope viewed the course of action for the Amazons differently after we were freed from Hercules' slavery."
Tim Drake Tim Drake hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "I have seen a few pictures of some pieces similar to some of these, some in fact, I may need to send you a link to some of them, one of my less savory sellers of art and hero things had a few pieces looked like those a bit.
Diana Prince Diana Prince looks curious. "Oh? Well I would be very interested in that Tim. And I am certain we can arrange a finder's fee if they turn out to be stolen works. There have been some over the millennia." She looks to him, "Was there anything in particular you wanted to see while here?"
Tim Drake Tim Drake says, "Well, I thought I would look at everything, but I was wondering with the art if there were pieces that told stories of other heroes of your people."
Diana Prince Diana Prince nods. "There are a few here." She gestures to a relief carving that hangs on the wall nearby. "This one recounts when Phillipa fought and defeated a minotaur that was attacking our farms and raiding their granaries." The image shows an Amazon in full armored regalia facing against a large minotaur, her shield deflecting a blow. Around them are farms with fields of grain. And several grain silos that have been broken open from its raids.
Tim Drake Tim Drake nods, and looks over it studying it for a bit, he does look to see if Phillipa is wearing any of the gear that Diana herself uses. "So the main issues the Amazon had were monster type encounters?"
Diana Prince Diana Prince smiles "Many times. There were attacks from a few nation states. But once we settled on Themyscira, few could find the island. But on the island.. there are doorways. One leads to Tartarus. Others.. " She sighs. "We constantly guard to ensure there are no attacks or invasions. But as with everything there are some things beyond our control. Sometimes the gods have fickle flights of fancy and seek to be entertained by how we deal with adversity."
Tim Drake Tim Drake hmms and nods his head a bit to this in thought. "It sounds like it maybe a bit of a nexus, and like some of the others, problems come through it time to time, it is good that your people were there to guard it. So, how have you been doing?"
Diana Prince Diana Prince smiles. "Yes, something like that. But it has multiple doorways on the island." Because of course it does. Why would it be easy?

"Oh? I have been keeping busy with a number of initiatives at the UN." She sighs. "Most of the other ambassadors are childish letches." She smiles wryly to him. "But they learn quickly that they must conduct themselves with proper decorum when seeking to earn my support or negotiate."
Tim Drake Tim Drake chuckles a bit softly to this and says "And I am sure you will be more than willing to teach those who are not willing to learn the easy way." He smiles a bit at her, and says "One of the issues I only have to semi deal with in a few places where business meets are a bit more .... chaotic.
Diana Prince Diana Prince nods. "Yes. They all learn in the end." She pauses. "Though I imagine most of them only behave because they know they must. And in private they behave just as poorly as ever." She sighs some.

One of her aides comes up, "Diana.." She looks to Tim "excuse me a moment, please?" She steps away to talk with the aide. After half a minute, she nods and the aide leaves. Turning back to Tim, she smiles regretfully. "I am being pulled away to deal with some matters of state I am afraid. But I have told the staff to let you stay and view the exhibit privately as long as you wish. They will answer any questions you may still have."

Apologetically, she smiles. "When you next have time, please do come back to talk. You are welcome any time."
Tim Drake Tim Drake nods his head and says "Totally understand and if there is anything you need help with you know how to contact me." He nods his head to her again, and says "I will continue to check out the exhibits for a bit."
