As he spoke with Lyriel, Seldo got a better feel for her court demeanor, or rather lack thereof. She smiled more than most ladies would find proper, and she played with her hair in a childish fashion. Despite being in a room full of the most important youths in the realm, she was completely relaxed, not at all intimidated by the crowned prince of Forlonia. It was a rare trait to see in ladies, who often stood on ceremony even more so than the lords, but it raised a pertinent question: was it intentional, or unintentional? Relaxed manners could be a sign of a poor attitude and upbringing, or they could simply be a proper lady's preferred means of expression. Whichever was the case, Princess Lyriel had piqued Seldo's interest. 

[color=0072bc]"I generally settle into new places well, and this does not seem to be an exception."[/color] Seldo said, allowing his tone and expression to transition from courteous to friendly. How would she react to that? Would she even notice? [color=0072bc]"The Conclave seems to have reasonable accommodations, though I will miss my wine with dinner."[/color] He spread his hands slightly and shrugged, as if to say, "It can't be helped." [color=0072bc]"My journey here was not nearly as long as yours, nor was it as long -- or cold -- as my trip to Aladore, so I suppose I can't complain about that. Ah, and speaking of Aladore, I was hoping to meet Princess Rhelissa, but I suppose we've missed each other in the crowd. The two of us spent a spell together a few years back, and I was glad to hear she would be attending as well. Meeting new faces is always enjoyable, but there's a certain amount of comfort in old friends, don't you agree?"[/color]
