So engrossed in the scene unfolding between Calbert’s bastard and Lorenzo, Nahir hadn’t noticed the son of Vali Amar slip into the seat beside her. She masked her surprise with a practiced smile, though her attention lingered on the two men. Calbert should have warned his son of the nuances of high society, for every misstep Cassius made would send ripples through his father’s reputation, tarnishing the Damien name. Already, she could feel the stir of whispers circulating through the garden, the nobles’ sharp gazes heavy with judgment. The rumors were spreading swiftly, like wildfire, and Nahir knew the consequences always fell heavier on the woman. In this world, etiquette wasn’t merely a formality—it was a weapon, and if Cassius intended to remain part of it, he would need to learn how to wield it with precision.

[color=904342]“Since my arrival, Calbert Damien has seemed perpetually angry, particularly with the gentleman in pink,”[/color] Nahir remarked, her smile curling into a knowing smirk. [color=904342]“It’s been quite entertaining, but I must admit, I’m glad Lord Vikena has finally begun to stand up for his family. In his own… eccentric way.”[/color]

Only then did she turn her gaze to Rohit, studying him for a brief moment. The glint of gold adorning him caught her eye, forcing her to blink and glance away. [i]Creators[/i], she thought. If anyone accused Nahir of indulging in an obsession with gold, they hadn’t met Rohit. Wherever his vibrant silks ended, gleaming gold took over. His jewelry—elaborate chains, heavy earrings—looked weightier than her own.

[color=904342]“A season in Caesonia already feels worlds apart from the usual diplomatic affairs,”[/color] she mused, [color=904342]“but I am still perfectly intact, thank you.”[/color]

Her smile reappeared, inviting yet sharp, as she redirected the conversation. [color=904342]“And you, Rohit? How was your voyage? Did you come across anything of interest on your way here?”[/color]

Just as Rohit began to speak, Prince Wulfric approached, drawing Nahir's attention. Her smile remained intact, though a subtle warmth softened her expression. She met his gaze, rising to her feet and offering a brief but elegant curtsy before settling back, her eyes lingering on him for a moment longer.[color=904342]“Good morning, Prince Wulfric.”[/color]

When the servant arrived with a cart bearing a selection of food and drinks, Nahir's gaze shifted momentarily to the carefully arranged bouquet of light pink magnolias and purple tulips that had been placed in the vase. [color=904342]“A lovely touch,”[/color] she remarked, her tone appreciative as she reached to grace her finger tips over one of the tulips. [color=904342]"It suits the setting perfectly."[/color]

As Wulfric began sampling the hors d’oeuvres, Nahir maintained her poise as she picked up a devilled egg with graceful precision, she could feel her mouth watering from the sight of the food. His question about their experience in Sorian drew her gaze toward her cousin, shamelessly lounging with a princess on his lap. 

[color=904342]“Sorian has been... as vibrant as I expected. Perhaps even more so,”[/color] Nahir mused looking back to the prince, [color=904342]“It has tested my endurance in ways I did not anticipate, but there is much to admire about your kingdom’s spirit. And much more to explore. Don't you agree, Rohit?”[/color]
