"Thank you, I will do that."
"That's quite alright. There will be time to speak with my people afterwards." He took the seat that he was offered, Eliot to his right.
"This si so exciting, I've never been to anything like this before."
"I've been to a few when I was hostage here for Dimitri, but I was not happy to be attending, and father was never invited." He smiled at ruffled her hood. "You'll enjoy it."
A carrage pulled by four lizards pulled up to the castle, the driver helped Aella and Meilikki out, and Cedric was bowed out.

Arthur sighed, yup he didn't say the right words and now he was going to suffer for it. He looked towards Sevilin and just looked at him with a small glare, the man always had to come in when Arthur was in some sort of stress and make him look bad. Damn it Sevilin leave me be... He was just about to cover his tracks but then Zahara moved away and went back over to the male drow, saying how she liked how he sees what she is doing for him, carrying her baby and what not. His one eye looked away a little and he tilted his head in embarrassment, he felt like such a fool but when Zahara asked him a question he looked back with a small smile on his face. "I know you are pregnant Zahara and yes I see the pain and suffering you go through now for Sevilin. You ever heard of the expression "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Well to me even though you are pregnant I still see you are a beautiful woman because you always will be beautiful to me. That's why I said all that." He stopped then because if he continued he would start to babble on and look like a complete idiot.

Cedric was not wearing his array of weapons, which made him feel light as a feather. Donning very classic elvish attire, he looked absolutely magnificant, very magestic, and probly quite attractive. Or at least, the swooning girls made him think as much.
"So, My Ladies, Tis is the night that has been dotted upon your schedules for quite a while now... How long ago did that mischevious Drow Captain, " Actually not said with distain, "tell us that he was going to arrange a night of dancing for the kingdoms of Honoursfield and Deep Water? Tis a wonderful idea, save for the hard travel betwix here and where we came from." The elf smiled. He looked about himself for a moment, and noted Gil smiling about half way up the corridor. "Now that we have a moments grace, we must discuss something of grand importance. Who do you intend to dance with first?" He ask Meilikki. "As a prominate member of Honoursfield, you will be expected to..." Well, he did not know how to finish that thought, but knew that it would be clear enough for the Oracle to understand.
Gil hoped up and down waving, much like a child. "Hello Fellow Light Warrior, and Honoured Guests!" Gil smiled, "Welcome, Welcome." His armour jingled with his light steps. His mount, Braver could be seen openly laughing, which the two large minotaurs joined in.

Okay, he was a little surprised that she took his words to not merely be mean to Arthur...after all, he did really mean them...and in fact, the wheels in his head had been turning with an idea to repay her for this. After all...she was doing this for him and it was only right that she deserved compensation. And he thought that he finally knew what that would be. A little nod of his head to Zahara though at her little touch and smile."And I do appreciate it very much." But his attention returned to Arthur.
"Beauty is in the eye of beholder...how human thinking of you." Yes, he was trying to be mean this time, but not just to make Arthur suffer...he was just not having a good time right now, what with being fancy, dealing with the 'fat' issue, and also the bad reveries that seemed to center where he didn't want them...well misery loved company.
Sevilin scoffed lightly. Speaking of human beauty to and elf...when elves saw beauty in many more ways than, and in many more thing than humans ever could fathom. Even the drow and even in the Underdark. But he didn't say anymore, merely shook his head and stood there in almost obediant fashion.

Zahara just stared at him. Was he telling her she didn't rate to elven beauty? She was only beautiful in a human's perspective? She took a deep breath not really sure how to react to this. It also seemed to her that he was telling her she wasn't beautiful pregnant. Her eyes momentarily flashed hurt but then cleared and she carried the stoic expression that meant she was hiding something. "So I'm only beautiful to you when I look the way I did when you first met me? You will always see me that way and never any other way? I find that horribly closed minded Arthur. But I'm glad I know your opinion of me now. Thank you for sharing." Her lips pursed and she moved even closer to Sevilin effectively giving Arthur the 'cold shoulder.' Yup, now she was upset. And as if the baby sensed her sudden dip in mood, it moved restlessly within her.

"Indeed, this date has been at the forefront of my mind for some time. How long ago it was I can't rightly recall." She smiled. "Finaly some solid relations can begin between our two kingdoms. Do you honour Honourfeild tonight, Cedric? Or do you plan on sitting udner another nations colours?"
"Normally, I would give that privledge to the first who asks. But my first dance will be with the King."
Aella was without her staff, and dressed in an exotic wrap. Jewels hang off her face vail, and gold disks sparkled and tinkled all over her dress as she walked. She waved at Gil, remembering his visits to the ships she happened to be on.

Arthur blinked a little bit, he wasn't trying to relate to her to human beauty he just said he looked at her beautifully because she was; he never meant to lower her in anyway at all. He was going to say something but stopped and sighed, well this was great she hated him now and he knew she wouldn't even bother to listen to him again so there was no point in arguing. "Well I'm sorry if I hurt you like that Zahara I am, my mind is not as closed as you think..." He crossed his arms and lowered his head in shame as he leaned against the wall, he wasn't even going to reply to Sevilin's little human comment, he didn't care for that right now the man already got him into trouble with all this and must be feeling happy he screwed up, he didn't want to give the man anything else to bug him with.

Sevilin watch amused with a raised eyebrow. This boy kept making mistake after mistake. Apologizing wasn't the way to go with that...correcting himself would of saved his a** from the moment, even after his transgression was realized. That he had indeed learned about women...if you didn't correct yourself or whomever needed correcting...well then you gave the impression that what was wrong was actually right. Women were complicated but sometimes you could figure them out...enough experience worked well.
But since he was keeping his mouth shut...well Sevilin would let him dig his own grave for the time being. But he did notice something else, all this time she had been moving closer to himself for some odd reason that he wasn't getting at all...perhaps she was seeking comfort from him...after all, it was no secret between them that they were sources of comfort for each other when they needed it.. Reaching out a hand he chucked her under the chin lightly, "Don't worry...he can't help himself, being exposed to humans and what not."
Thus more or less effectively helping Arthur out some. Why? Because he liked to watch Zahara mess with him...and if she was upset with him well he wouldn't get a show now would he?

Malik had spent this entire time getting ready. wht to wear, what not to wear, double and triple checking that he had his proposals in order, and what to do with the Purians. As for clothing..black shined boots, with silking black pants tucked in, a burgundy red longsleeve shirt. with a burgundy hair tie. over his right shoulder and arm was reflectively polished adamantine armor the shoulderplate had a skill on it and the rest was etched with flames. a half cloak over the right in black with gold flame embrodiery on the edging.
"Are you almost ready, Piper dear?"
Repolishing his boots and making sure the taps on them weren't worn out.
Onyx was ready as always, well groomed, though many people still gave him dirty looks and accusing faces. Aella was going to this fancy party, and if he coudl weasel his way into it, so was he.

She glanced at him sharply after he chucked her under the chin, her eyes roving his face abruptly. It was true that Arthur had been raised by humans and was still in the 'human' mindset of things. Perhaps it was a very high compliment to be beautiful in the eye of the beholder and whatnot. "Yes I suppose not. Such a pity too." Slipping back away from Sevilin she walked to Arthur and gently forced him to meet her eyes. "Just answer me one question Galesen. What adjective would you use to describe me? Take as much time as you need, but I'd like you to come up with one that you think encompasses me before we leave for the party. I'm sure you can undo all the questionable things you've said in the past few minutes if you just focus your attention on that simple task." There. Now she'd given him a way to redeem himself and find out his true opinion. She hadn't really been that upset over the fact she was 'fat.' It had been more of a thing for entertainment and to take up time while they were waiting. But it had turned wrong, backfired on her really. Now she'd see what he really thought.

Piper...well she never took nearly as long as Malik did when it came to getting ready for things. Was just quick and simple. But she had indeed worn was she was planning too, that red and gold dress that she did love so very much, matching slippers and what not, ditching the gloves and anything else that was tomboyish and all. But she had indeed spent all her time on her hair...not because she was vain, but because she was being self concious about her ear. Thus the various ways of playing with her hair until she figured it out. But with time running on her, she settled for something. Thus her hair on the left side was tucked behind her ear and the right was left to fall free, but all tapped with her circlet because it added that oh so elegant touch. But throwing on some matching earrings she pretty much said screw it and go, grabbing a potion and downing it as guarentee that she wasn't going to get sick at this damn thing...that would just be bad.. "Alright...I'm ready." She thought...oh well, she'd never be comfortable anyway...would be worrying too much. "Let's get the others and go before I back out."

Cedric smiled, "My Homeland lay in smote ruin upon some now ancient battlefield. I sit as Aella's bodyguard." Cedric's eyes glowed with a fiery light, a fun cantrip he learned long ago. Back when he was but an apprentice. "Now then, shall we walk through the titan's gate, and behold what wonder King Jiscal I has made of this kingdom?" He asked wit ha very noble tone, a very natural tone to him to be honest.

"Good. and no backing out for you."
So down to the main room...picking up Malvolence on the way and strapping it to his side. He'd be damned if he wasn't going to at least try to be able to get into those cluttered human heads.
"Everyone who is going better be ready by now or your going however you look!"

Arthur's ears twitched when Sevilin said that he couldn't help himself because he was exposed to human, and Zahara had to agree with him; it always came back because he was raised by humans, can't they ever leave him alone about that? Though he heard Zahara's footsteps as she made her way towards him, this was great like he needed to have her so close to him again, but he didn't dare look away when she made him meet her eyes again and he looked into them in silence as he listened to her words carefully. He was a little shocked that she wanted to summerize her into one word and with that it would do all the screw ups he had done in the pass few minutes. So he focused on trying to find that one simple word, and he thought about all the good times he had with her, well what little good times he did have with her. He thought about it for quite awhile then stopped and took a deep breath as he watched her eyes. "If I had to say one word that describes you in my own eye then it would be...'Angelic'." With those words out of his lips he watched her eyes, knowing that he could never take back what he said.

Meilikki smiled, and headed inside. "I think we shall."
Inside, she bowed ton Jiscal in that regal way of hers. "Eventide, good King Jiscal the first. You must be tired of greetings at this time of my arrivle, but i ask that you wear that pleasant smile for just a bit longer, as it is very becomeing a king such as yourself."
"Zeranda." Another bow. "You are as stunning as the rumors say." Her b;ue eyes held a friendly composure that her blind eyes had often failed to accomplish.
"Thi is my attendant, and her attendant. Aella and Cedric."
Aella followed suit and bowed.
