Despite his bony arms that lacked little muscle and fat, Fei managed to hold the large tome straight and directly perpendicular to his body. He was ready and prepared to receive any response from the taller boy, but judging by the look on his face, it was clear that the exchange would go without a hitch. Unfortunately, the blue haired boy thought too soon as the sound of quick footsteps caught Fei and the bard's attention. Fei was still to far away to look past everyone else in the stairway, but the voice that resounded clearly around the area made it clear that it was the prince introducing himself.

Although his face remained entirely stoic, even towards the other that he was suppose to escort, Fei was looking forward to this little journey. He knew that it would help in finding his father and also improve his lackluster understand of other people and emotions. Speaking of other people, Fei's attention snapped back to the bard, who was now speaking in an odd tongue. This confusing, and slightly frightening, moment caused the bluenette to pull his thunder tome back to his chest. Once the bard returned back to a more appropriate language, Fei couldn't help but push a little air into his cheeks, causing his lips to purse and ultimately pout. It was disappointing that he couldn't get a closer look at the bard's, Zachary's, bent instrument, but at this point, whatever the prince said comes first, right? 
[color=#87ceeb]"...Fei S-Sima..."[/color] Fei gave out his own name before nodding and ended their brief conversation with that.

Fei took a quick moment to place his tome back into his bag before focusing on what Prince Eli had in store for us. Fortunately, it wasn't anything too crazy and just some breakfast to help everyone get to know each other better. While most would think this is an easy task that doesn't require much thinking to accomplish, Fei was a little uncomfortable about talking to all of them, especially the prince. His sisters had groomed and taught him exactly what to say when to say it, but getting his face to emote those emotions was going to be tough. Oh, and not to mention that there are some scary dudes here to help escort the prince! Why was he invited in the first place?! Would he even survive around these guys? Wh-What if they outcast him? Or realize that he's not up for the job? Fei's hands began to visibly shake as he let his tainted thoughts replay in his head like a broken record. Fortunately, Zachary's boisterous voice brought the bluenette back to reality and he followed, albeit reluctantly, the others into the banquet hall, clasping his hands together in attempt to keep his shaking down to a minimum.

Upon entering the large room, Fei couldn't help but gawk at the paintings and other expensive furniture that littered the room. He had never seen a room quite like it before. And while his face didn't show it, the rest of his trembling body did. It wasn't really fear as it was more overwhelming; back at home, everything was either made of wood or cotton, not fancy, just the necessities. Zachary's catchy tunes weren't enough to quell this uneasiness as Fei hurriedly hopped into a seat as far away to the right of the prince as possible and swung his legs as an attempt to distract himself from the room in general.

Blue eyes soon moved over to the head of the table as the prince's right hand woman began to speak. She held an authoritative air to her, one that Fei didn't want to mess with. As soon as the woman named Rhea finished speaking, the man with the mask from before spoke, claiming his name to be Gorou. What the man said afterwards was overall confusing to the boy since he only had to focus on protecting the prince, and with the inclusion of another man to their conversation made it even harder to keep up, but he did attempt to make sense of it from afar. However, after a few minutes of doing so, Fei gave up and lowered his head to stare at his lap, his hands still trembling from being nervous...how much longer until this whole 'getting-to-know-each-other-thing' was over?
