Upon entering the scene with Annie in tow, Farim noticed the demeanor of Lady Zarai and couldn’t help but offer a sly smirk - as if he knew just what the connotation behind those words would mean. He joined her in laughter and softly hummed the words she had just spoke. [color=d2691E]”My my, mi princesita - that is an awfully adorable name for you.”[/color] His eyes moved to meet Zarai’s [color=d2691E]”Dare I see some competition for the hand of the princess in such a place as this?”[/color] Farim turned to look at Anastasia [color=d2691E]”Am I to be worried about your Rai of sunshine? Where might my kiss be?”[/color] His hand waved idly and he paused in a similar show of sarcastic seriousness before chuckling. 

[color=d2691E]”I tease, I tease. It is good to be seeing you. And you as well, Miss Olivia it was, right? I remember you from the beach the other day.”[/color] His demeanor was unfazed despite the Princess’ promiscuous choice of seat. He decided to play along with this dance of casual debauchery in such a refined place of high society. He figured the stuffy individuals who take such events so seriously could always lighten up a little - so he decided to play himself a little game of sensual chicken. While he gestured with his hand and spoke to the others, Farim adjusted himself and pulled his arm around her. His arm rested comfortably across her lap as his hand delicately brushed along her hip - almost tickling along her sides as he continued speaking.

It was then Count Fritz came to address the table and offer his sincere greetings. With as much grace as he could, he maintained a slight bow while seated. [color=D2691E]”Forgive my sir for not rising at the moment. Once a lady like Annie takes her seat it is best not to disturb her.”[/color] He winked and rose in his seat, his arm reflexively pulling her just a smidge closer. [color=d2691e]”Peace be upon you as well - my friend.”[/color] The man had mentioned a concert - and Farim made a mental note to remind himself to find a way to secure an invitation to such an event. His mind briefly flickered to the miniature concerts that he and his half-sister Saya would hold in the empty halls of the palace when they were children - and Farim found himself desiring to hear just what kind of musical arrangement Annie had in store for the public.

Another familiar face joined the occasion, one Charlotte Vikena. Farim smiled warmly and gave a gentle wave of his hand. [color=D2691E]”Best of mornings to you, Lady Charlotte!”[/color] She appeared to whisper something in her ear then join her previous group in the festivities at their own table. It was rather pleasant to see her again, and he hoped that despite the drama at the beach that she hadn’t had any more trouble.

There were a few exchanged glances between involved parties that had Farim curious, but he wouldn’t dare intervene on matters he knew little of - unless he felt like being in a bratty mood of course. But one particular thing he noticed was how nervous she was around the Princess - perhaps she is guilty of something? [color=D2691E][i]But then again, are we not all guilty of something?[/i][/color] He reflected. That’s when he decided to stroke a few locks of her hair, and nodded approvingly. [color=D2691E]”You do have quite the soft hair! I admire how well you take care of it.[/color]

After he was finished flirting like the playboy at heart he was, he fixed his demeanor and addressed the two ladies once more. [color=D2691E]”I apologize for my antics - I must say it is quite fun to be here in another land rich with such festivities. How have you both been enjoying your week? I hope it has been interesting?”[/color]
