The thing about restored status even legendary status in her homeland is that it meant more access
To places owned by the Illivanthan government. Illivanthan tradition originally required a few things for the civilization of Illivantha to thrive.

The original Elves of Illavantha had a culture that survived on Two things Creation and Magic;

With the Removal of the Oligarchy and financial control over the city. Many including Iyra have been trying to reconnect to the older ways. To heal what was missing in themselves. There were spaces for Illvanthan foreign relations ... an embassy in Piltover (They need one for Zaun especial if they wanted to establish any sort of trade. Which trading would be something both nations could benefit greatly from.
Illvantha as it had been cut out from the outside world and Zaun because when it's separate Zaun will need to be viewed as a separate nation and establish separate allies.)

However, That wasn't why Iyra was in the embassy. Not today anyway. Today is for other reasons. Mainly the return of the traditional Illavanthan Vineyard, and greenhouse. Littered with odd plants of varying shapes and colors. Each one odder than the one before.  

" Hello Sevika...." Iyra smirked

"Iyra." Sevika nodded.

"I know you're used to the harder shit but Elven Alcohol is ... special. Mainly due to the variety of odd fruits where up in the more mountainous regions of my homeland.
Rethún is a specific oddity the most key principal about it being the fact... well nature adapts to what threatens it... unfortunately civilization threatened the local plants of my home. A very long time ago Rethún is an odd plane made ,because of that need for survival it learned to mimic the look of the wires the devices of harvesters had and learned to evolve to make itself look like a wire. The odd circular speaker like things it looks like the wires are connected too. That's a actually the  Rethún fruit
Rethún being my peoples word for reverberate. Hence why so many call it Reverb instead.
I'm going to warn you it's not for everyone...So don't feel obligated to like it. It's citrusy but in an odd sort of way... as Reverb tastes fort of like a odd mixture of Grapes and lime. The thing that's oddest about it is each one varies in how strong of a citrus flavor it has.
Some of them if you a very talent at farming can feel like a ticklish feeling in you're mouth ... If that happens it's normal it's .basically just static shock. I figured you might favor this one best although I'm not sure what happens if you mix it with whiskey..." Iyra walks to the back of the vineyard.  Purchasing a bottle of the wine from an A farm stand in the back manner by an Illavanthan merchant.
Brining it to Sevika handing her a glass and pouring a bit in it for her before Iyra pours her own cup.

Iyra screwed the bottle closes and placed it on one of the garden tables with the chairs.

"Would you like to sit.?" Iyra smirked.

"Don't see why not." Sevika shrugged.

"You know why, I wanted to meet you right? I wanted to check in.... Silco filled me in about the "Friendly Fire." thing. Both you and Jinx are people o treasure in my life. So I can hopefully help get a more objective view of both sides. Also let's be honest it's always nice to have an excuse to get a drink with an old friend." Iyra smiled sipping hers slowly to let the flavor set.

"She shot AT US the other day. When we went topside. Look Iyra. I know that you don't want to hear this , but Jinx causes problems not small ones either. She froze up and shot at US. That is the kind of the thing that makes people question the loyalty of their leaders and themselves. I kept my mouth shut in front of Silco ,but I'm not going to Bullshit you we've known each-other too long for that. The others talk the ones that have never seen you or heard of you and only know Silco...
They consider him soft. At least soft for her. Good leaders need to know the difference between a leader and a commander.  It all comes down to respect.
A leader is respected and has the loyalty of their people .A commander is a mutiny waiting to happen.
Jinx is the tinderbox to ignite it." Sevika frowned.
