Following Sir Hellhammer's lead, Baroness Mondracus, and Baron Dagonius were the first to add their own applause to that of the dwarf, followed soon after by the rest of the room. Not surprisingly Baron Bonati and Lord Gallo were the least enthusiastic, while those elves who were in attendance seemed perfectly satisfied with the appointment. During those few moments of opportunity, Arion moved swiftly to his Princess' side and whispered a message to her that only Amhranai could overhead amidst the noise. "Your Highness, Lady Ourson wishes to speak with you regarding a matter of utmost importance without delay."
Even though Isaac got the hint and Darvesch picked up on the playful reminder too, the hidden message was lost upon the pale-blonde agent now playing the part of her scribe. In a quiet tone, the movement of his lips barely perceptible, Arion whispered, "You shall address the Princess as Your Highness or Her Royal Highness."
"My experience suggests that reveling with kin in a suitable mead hall is a culturally appropriate tradition."
Not lifting his gaze from the journal in which he was apparently taking notes, the royal agent who had taken on the guise of the court scribe lifted a finger and awaited Alis' permission to speak. He was clad in an elegant yet stately black suit that was tapered at the waist and featured cuffs that were folded to the outside and secured by studs bearing Alis' seal. With his hair slicked back and a tall collar girding his throat, he looked far less threatening than the trained killer he was. Yet Darvesch's trained eyes could still make out the presence of concealed wrist sheathes beneath his jacket. Upon receiving a nod of acknowledgement from Alis, agent Hithraen responded evenly, "My sources inform me that Gods Save the Keg is favored by Port Eldarion's upcoming elite. The proprietor is one Sareth Antirel, a failed priest of Miralnas who seeks to win entry to the aristocracy by way of gaining favor in socio-political circles. You would almost certainly be well-received, although the privacy of you and your lady acquaintance might... suffer." |
