[color=0072bc]"And I am Lord Ithobal Gully, heir to Serpent's Roost and the Quell Sea, my lady," as he kissed her hand as is custom. [/color] Ithobal could hear the teasing in her voice with here words, and her mischievous smile that she tried to hide behind her lady like behavior. Her smile betrayed her, but it only drew Ithobal more into conversation.

[color=0072bc]"I understand where you're coming from. If a lady is scarred in any way I would have to believe she is unfit to marry,"[/color] Ithobal responded with all of the wit he could muster. Unfortunately, she is from House Hyland. They are one of the larger houses along with House Gully. His cynicism wanted to overwhelm him and told him to not trust a single word she said. There was just something about her that drew him into conversation. He just need to remind himself to not let any important information slip to her. For all he knew she was the enemy and would try to get information from him. 

[color=0072bc]"I think I can find it somewhere in my heart to forgive you, but we both know that you aren't so foolish,"[/color] with that Ithobal gave her a look that told her that he knew she was smarter than she let on. He could not believe how well she blended into the role of a perfect lady.

He just noticed what appeared to be one of her kinsman looking over at the two of them. Ithobal was pretty confident that if he tried anything too drastic it would lead to a confrontation. That would probably look pretty bad in the eyes of the King and all the other nobles in attendance. Though it would be nice to practice his fighting skills before the tournament. He had only been sparring with his crew for this entire time. Ithobal would have to get use to true swordplay though and he would have to hope that a trident would throw people off.

[color=0072bc]"Why yes I am entering the tournament to win the hand of Princess Madeline. It is my duty to my family to ensure a thousand year dynasty. Or at least that's what my father keeps telling me. I've been a pretty bad son these past couple of years, so I'm trying to make up for it. But enough about my family, who is that man who keeps looking over at us? Is he going to be mad that I'm talking to you, should I take my leave and return in the night at your window?"[/color]
