Speaking to Tabubu, Rulli says, "There are several to choose from." Speaking softly to you, Tabubu says, "Good evening." Tabubu nods in greeting to you. Rulli uncertainly says, "This seemed the most romantic of them all." Rulli says, "At least to me." Ithilwyn smiles. You find yourself humming along to the music and catch yourself just as it ends. Rulli says, "There are refreshments on the cart if you're a tad munchie." High Lady Avawren just arrived. Ithilwyn smiles. You nod to Avawren in greeting.

Tabubu nods to Avawren in greeting. Rulli agrees with Tabubu. Ithilwyn smiles at Tabubu. Speaking in Elven, Avawren says, "You all are too kind, thank you." The musicians end on a soft and gentle note. Speaking awkwardly to Tabubu, Rulli says, "I had begun to explore such a thing with a lovely Ardenai, but seems she had to leave before long." Speaking in Elven to Ithilwyn, Avawren says, "Your shoes are a delight." Speaking to Tabubu, Rulli says, "I remembered her favorite treats and picked them out without realizing it." Speaking softly to Avawren, Ithilwyn says, "Thank you! I'm not quite used to having such flashy feet." Ithilwyn blushes a nice shade of light pink. Avawren grins at Ithilwyn.

It's a bit more difficult than I imagined it would be." Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "I promise it will." Ithilwyn smiles at Rulli. Avawren pours herself a goblet of rich purple shiraz.

Rulli says, "Not at all." Tabubu helps herself to a handful of chocolate-dipped blueberries. Speaking politely in Elven to you, Avawren says, "You've outdone yourself with the food selection." Avawren appears to be trying hard not to grin. Tabubu briefly draws down the edges of her black wool cowl. Tabubu takes a bite of her dipped blueberries.

Rulli recites: "We are pleased and honored to keep this wonderful tradition. Should the King attend, we'd like to remind everyone to sheathe all weapons in his presence. That being said, please enjoy the music, the food, and the drink. Thank you." Avawren grins at Rulli. Rulli bows. Ithilwyn smiles. Lacing her fingers together, Tabubu's body stiffens as she listens quietly. The group finishes the music and pauses to let the listeners chat a bit. You feel at full magical power again.

You are now speaking Common. You nod to Orssus in greeting. Qalinor says, "There are few causes more worthy than those that defend our home." Ithilwyn smiles. Speaking to Rulli, Qalinor says, "I received the invitation, thank you for considering me." Speaking humbly to Qalinor, Rulli says, "Good evening, My Soveriegn. I'm glad it reached you and you were able to make it." As the troubadours begin another set, several couples nearby begin a lively ring dance. Orssus bows deeply at the waist, honoring Qalinor. Qalinor nods at Orssus. Speaking to Orssus, Qalinor asks, "Evening. Enjoying the relative peace?" Orssus says, "Always bandits in the wilds to take care of." Qalinor nods. You find yourself humming along to the music and catch yourself just as it ends. Qalinor says, "True, there is always something to look after." Orssus says, "But enjoying the quiet from time to time, yes." Tabubu hums distractedly to herself. You pour yourself a flute of rose-infused champagne. Speaking to Orssus, Avawren says, "You and Krystalena do an admirable job keeping the old road travelable." Avawren smiles at Orssus. You shift your weight. Orssus chuckles. The musicians strike up an old romantic ballad. The musicians end on a soft and gentle note.

But that's all right since there is no parade and all." Rulli bows to Avawren. You stare at nothing in particular. Ithilwyn grins at you. Avawren laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. Heavy sparks dance around Rulli as wisps of electricity travel up and down his body. Avawren curtsies to Rulli. Tabubu's eyes crinkle upward at the edges, though the rest of her face is concealed by the folds of her black wool cowl. Rulli amusedly says, "Some have a hard time telling us apart, but I assure you, we are different enough." You find yourself humming along to the music and catch yourself just as it ends. Speaking to Rulli, Avawren says, "I will do my best to keep you straight then, and remember your name. Thank you for hosting."

Avawren winks at Rulli. Galliah curtsies to Qalinor. Galliah smiles at Rulli. Speaking to Galliah, Qalinor says, "A pleasure to see you in the fortress again."

You find yourself humming along to the music and catch yourself just as it ends. Speaking to Rulli, Raxl asks, "I didn't miss the treats did I?"

You nod to Raxl in greeting. Speaking to Avawren, Raxl says, "Well I haven't married her yet but at least she hasn't run off so...." The musicians end on a soft and gentle note. You take a drink from your rose-infused champagne. Floral, yet dry, and filled with tiny bubbles that tickle the tongue. You have 4 quaffs left. Rulli begins chuckling at Raxl! Speaking to Raxl, Rulli says, "It's a good sign she hasn't run off... yet." Rulli grins. Speaking amusedly to Raxl, Avawren says, "I meant your training." Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "I would love to." Ithilwyn smiles at Rulli. Rulli dances lightly across the dance floor with Ithilwyn. Galliah gazes thoughtfully at a bright copper cart.

Speaking to Raxl, Avawren says, "And it has paid off. You could run circles around me now, I'm certain." Avawren chuckles. As the tune finishes, the gathered listeners applaud gently. Raxl scoffs. Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "You are as well, you haven't stepped on my foot once." Ithilwyn grins at Rulli. Rulli chuckles. Speaking to Avawren, Raxl says, "Nonsense, any man who was smart would run directly to you rather than in circles around you." Raxl winks. Tabubu applauds politely. Speaking amusedly to Ithilwyn, Rulli says, "Seems all my time in warcamps is paying off. I tend to have to move lightly from side to side dodging their swings." Speaking in Elven to Raxl, Galliah asks, "Why did you not bring her?" Gentle melodies flow forth from the musicians' instruments. Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "I tried my hand at one last night with some friends. It was my first attempt." Speaking to Galliah, Raxl says, "She was indisposed this evening or I would have." Speaking to Galliah, Raxl says, "A bit under the weather I believe." Speaking curiously to Ithilwyn, Rulli asks, "Oh? And what did you think?" Orssus begins chuckling at Galliah! Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "It was quite exhilarating."

The musicians end on a soft and gentle note. Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "I think I've seen you around here occasionally. Let me introduce myself, I am Ithilwyn." Rulli smiles at Ithilwyn. Speaking to Orssus, Avawren asks, "Is your wife not joining us this evening? What is a ball in Ta'Vaalor without watching the two of you dance the night away?" Ithilwyn smiles at Rulli. You feel at full magical power again. Speaking to you, Qalinor says, "How have the nights been going at keeping the Grimswarm under control? Such a necessary and appreciated service it is." Qalinor smiles. Speaking to Ithilwyn, Rulli says, "I know I've seen you before. It's a shame we're now only making introductions. I'm Rulli." Rulli smiles at Ithilwyn. Orssus says, "She wont be able to make it unfortunately, had some family business to see to." Speaking softly to Rulli, Ithilwyn says, "It is good to meet you, Rulli." Ithilwyn smiles. Orssus says, "She asked that I make an appearance though." As the troubadours begin another set, several couples nearby begin a lively ring dance. Speaking to Ithilwyn, Rulli replies, "And you, Lady Ithilwyn." Speaking to Orssus, Raxl says, "Now it's clear, she's probably off with Mikyla somewhere planning something. We need to be on our toes."

The musicians strike up an old romantic ballad. Ithilwyn grins at Rulli. Rulli smiles at Ithilwyn. Speaking to Raxl, Avawren says, "One has to pick their battles."

Jaranzair chuckles. Speaking to Galliah, Raxl says, "I could have fixed that for you." Ithilwyn takes a drink from her rose-infused champagne. That was the last of it! You need to be holding an ordinary drink item in your right hand. Be sure it still has a few sips left. Speaking to Raxl, Galliah says, "Sorry to share the most offensive words a locksmith could hear. You forced my hand on that one." Galliah winks at Raxl. Orssus says, "She'd have a very odd shape about her if she was hiding boxes in her dress." Orssus chuckles. Ithilwyn bites her lip. The music seems to wind on forever, bringing old memories and thoughts long forgotten to the surface of your mind. Ithilwyn giggles. Galliah blushes a glowing shade of red. You tip your head back and empty your rose-infused champagne down your gullet! You discard your vessel of drink and wipe off your mouth. Roundtime: 4 sec. You place your arms akimbo and look about as if waiting for something. Speaking woundedly to Galliah, Raxl says, "I am crushed." Raxl appears to be trying hard not to grin. Galliah says, "I'll just take that as a compliment. No odd box shapes here." Galliah clears her throat. Raxl laughs! Orssus agrees with Galliah. Ithilwyn grins at Galliah.

Speaking to Orssus, Galliah says, "Most often, yes." Galliah smirks. Rulli slowly empties his lungs. Rulli shakes his head. Ithilwyn softly says, "That might actually be a good avenue to make coin for a wizard. Invisible pockets in gowns that don't alter the look." The group finishes the music and pauses to let the listeners chat a bit. Speaking to Orssus, Raxl says, "Well I definitely wasn't seeing room for them so I figured it had to be something like that." Ithilwyn ponders. Speaking sullenly to Ithilwyn, Raxl says, "Or you could just bring them to your locksmith." Raxl glances at Ithilwyn and folds his arms over his chest.

Galliah clears her throat. Speaking in Elven to Laevender, Jaranzair says, "The King and his Lord Legionnaire Commander."

You say, "Quite so, in fact, I think we've only met once and you knew me right away." Laevender nods to you. Laevender says, "Nothing wrong with my memory."
