[Color=gold][b]Mention:[/b][/color] Wulfric[hr] 

Alexander entered the dining hall, boldly adorned in red by his lonesome. He welcomed the wide-open space filled by the most succulent aroma with a smile and a nod before walking across the length of the room to his assigned seat. As he strode, Eri piped in, taking advantage of this moment by adding her own improvised tune.

[Color=Violet][I]A ribbon for a ring… A ribbon for a ring… The scorpion makes a promise that he won't ever sting… A ribbon for a ring… A ribbon for a ring… The deadly poison spreads deeply beneath the lady’s skin…[/I][/color] There was light laughter from her before she continued.

[Color=Violet][I]Alexander, are you prepared to eat? Will you bring your wife back something sweet? Do you… enjoy my rhymes? I could do this all the time…[/I][/Color]

[Color=gold][I]I’d rather you not. Just inform me of how Lianna is doing while I’m here. This banquet… is mine and mine alone.[/I][/color] Alexander couldn't show just how elated he was with his chosen seat, so a warm smile would have to be enough. As he walked down the aisle made by the rows of tables, his eyes naturally locked straight ahead on the one and only Queen Alibeth Danrose. Compared to her, King Edin was far from interesting as he stuffed his face and lathered his lips with the rich food prepared for this evening’s meal. [Color=gold][I]Swine[/I][/color]. Right now, Alexander would find it quite humorous if the King were to choke to death here but unfortunately that would go against the interests of the Black Rose. Wulfric taking the throne too soon would be unfavorable and disadvantageous. Unfortunate…

As he arrived at his seat, he refrained from seating himself. Instead he took this opportunity to greet the King and Queen, seated so close to him. Since Edin’s mouth was occupied with food, Alexander took this opportunity to mostly address the queen.

[Color=gold]“Queen Danrose, esteemed queen of Caesonia.”[/color] He performed a mock bow. [Color=gold]“I’m afraid we have not had the pleasure of a formal introduction but I am sure nothing gets past those striking amber eyes of yours, your highness. I am honored and humbled to be so close to the divinity of the crown.”[/color] He took his seat but shifted his chair slightly in their direction, leaving the conversation open. [Color=gold]“I can assume the food is delectable,”[/color] Alexander commented with an amused smirk, noting Edin who was shoveling away at his plate as if his life depended on it.
