๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โฉDimitri smiled. "Yeah, the food here is pretty good. Still, you gotta try some of the stuff we have back in Istarazil! I know this one tavern that makes the best pork stew anywhere!" He said eagerly. Since Dimitri tended to sneak out, flirt, and get into barfights a lot, he had more...worldly experience than most princes. He got to know some of the commonfolk. He shared food, alcohol, stories, and laughs with them. He was a man of the people, even if he was a bit hard-headed. He couldn't wait to show Tana everything he loved about his homeland. He had a good idea how Dianae would react to their new guest, but he'd cross that bridge when he got there.โฉ

Gladio Marx Watching the two talk, Gladio didn't get any bad vibes from the man who seemed to capture Damian's interest. At the talk of retainers, the dog's ears twitched in curiosity. The conversation moved to stories of Gladio being a mother hen. The shifter would admit, he tended to hover...like he was doing right now, but he did so out of loyalty to his charge and the royal family. He tried to give Damian space every now and then, but with his tendency to run off, Gladio had to watch him like a hawk the rest of the time. And then came the flea baths and female attention. "You think I enjoyed that!? You try having bows put in your fur like a prize poodle!" He thought.
At the topic of possibly making this new guy a retainer, Gladio was a bit stunned. He could understand wanting to get in bed with this man, but hiring someone you just met at a party to guard your life? That wasn't normal! Then again, Damian was NOT a normal prince. That, and Gladio didn't know Damian well when he first became his retainer, either. Gods above, he hoped the prince would at least consult the rest of the royal family on this, especially Prince Alexander. As he was observing the two, an odd-looking insect had been hiding in the bush. It bit the dog on his tail, causing him to let out a surprised yelp and tumble from his hiding place...in full view of his prince. Noticing that he was in plain sight, he gave a light whine, which was basically dog for "oh, crap."

"I'm sure you will find that balls are rather fun, Sir Inoue. At least if you think mingling and dancing is fun." She said with a smile. When he asked if she was enjoying herself, Anora felt surprised. "Well..." She sighed. "If I'm being honest, balls aren't really what I call entertainment. I may be a princess, but I am also captain of our knights. I am mostly here as a formality. And for my family of course. For them, I wouldn't miss it for the world. It doesn't really matter if I'm enjoying the ball, to be honest. Though it part of my duty to act as a good hostess for our guests." Anora tilted her head a bit. "You just seemed nervous standing here alone, I felt I could help to ease your tension so you could enjoy the night. So, Inoune, what brings you here? Are you one of our wandering warriors?" She asked him, honestly curious. โฃ~โฉ~โฎ (- Dress-)

Inoue KiyohiraInoue smiled at the princess. I'm not too experienced in dancing, but I'm sure I could learn. He listened as she explained that she was only here for her family and her duty, and that she didn't exactly enjoy balls. I can understand that. I've always been close to my family, and they're the only reason why I'm here. They thought that it would be more social and less secluded like much of my lifestyle has been. She then asked why he was here. He felt awkward because his nervousness was so obvious. Well, I guess I am kinda nervous. I'm actually of no importance, just a sheep herder that supports his parents. Perhaps if you were meeting my grandfather, you would've gotten a much different response. My parents seem to be convinced that his spirit has passed on to me. He chuckled at the thought of it.

"I never would have guessed you were a sheep herder. You have such an air about you that I thought for sure you were a warrior of some sort." She teased him a little. "At any rate, I am quite glad you are here, Inoue. Kind men are always needed in the world, I'm sure your family is quite proud of the man that you are. And don't think of yourself as unimportant. Everyone has a purpose and a fate, no one is ever born without a reason. I'm sure it was even in fate's design that you came here. The war changes so many lives, and this ball is in celebration of an alliance between two nations. Many people are being led into a new destiny tonight as we speak. Some are even finding lovers it seems..." She trailed off at that last bit, still thinking of her sister and the guard from Istarazil. She pushed the thought out of her mind again. "I shouldn't be thinking about that now..." She decided to change the subject. "Do you enjoy your career, Inoue?" She asked him suddenly. โฃ~โฉ~โฎ (- Dress-)

Inoue KiyohiraInoue bowed slightly, knowing to show courtesy when given a compliment from such a royal. Plus, he felt honored. His grandfather fought bravely in many battles until his health started failing, and even then it took all Inuoes mother had to keep him from continuing to war. Thank you, Milady. My mother always said that I carry the posture of my grandfather. She continued to speak, and Inuoe could tell that she was very wise for her age. As she mentioned the part about some finding lovers, Inuoe became very confused. He realized that it was something that required prior knowledge that he did not have, so he kept quiet until she asked him a question. I do.. Somewhat.. It's not a hard job, and I have no dissent towards it. I've just always felt like I could be doing more with my life. I have no idea what "more" is, but I've always felt it somewhere inside me.

She thought for a moment, and then smiled at him. "You could always join our military. You seem to have the makings of a great hero, at least in demeanor. It could be just what you need to find what is missing in your life. And you needn't worry about the front lines for a while, we don't usually send the newbies there until they've proven they won't die. I could even be training you. Though I'd understand if you decline the offer, many are hesitant to join considering the fierceness of this war.." She spoke to him with a kind tone, one you wouldn't expect from a woman of military position. โฃ~โฉ~โฎ (- Dress-) (Sorry, I got wrapped up in this addicting game called Princess Maker 2. >,< )

Inoue KiyohiraInoue was taken aback by that suggestion. He had never thought of the possibility of joining the military himself. He had always thought of himself as a lowly farm boy, never as physically or mentally strong as his grandfather. I appreciate the honorable compliment, but do you believe that I am ready for such a thing? I have never fought a battle a day in my life, and I had never planned on doing such until now. Do you truly see such potential in me?"
