Say,
Anguirel, I've got an idea, just let me know if you agree with it. I was thinking, what if Tora should be sent to look for her father and to bring him back home? Well, I don't think it would be suitable for Tora to actually enter the place of the feasting, but she might ask a guard to fetch her father. That way Drenda has the chance of taking a look at her, and she can also get her father out of there before he causes more embarrassment to all those concerned

Let me know if you agree, and I'll write my post. If not, well, at least you'll see I haven't abandoned the game
