Strange was Obelix's first though at these people, he couldn't help to give a momentary stare seeing. Was it customary to make him wait without saying a thing? Surely that was not the case, but since he was the foreigner he couldn't stipulate. This is was the reason he hated coming without an envoys advice on how to approach the politics of new lands. Never the less he'd take his dues like any other, he'd taken worse before. His eyes however caught one of the young women approach him and curtsy. Returning the gesture as a part of custom, his own falcata slightly clanked against his side during the gesture.

I like to know the nobility of the realm I'm currently visiting. I do not know the customs here and would be most gracious for you tell me of the do's and don'ts. Along with what is happening, so I may judge on how to approach his highness."[/color] Extending his left hand once again offering her first leave.
