[center][i]Interacted with:[/i] [@Raineh Daze], [@FlappyTheSpybot][/center]

[quote=Tyaethe Radistirin]"I think she went in the direction of the baths... it's going to be hard for you to deliver the message in [i]that[/i] case. Unless you're a lot more girly under all that than I expected. Come along anyway in case she's not done."[/quote]

"[color=yellow]Oh, well do you mind-- Wait, what?![/color]"

Jarde was interrupted when [u]Tyaethe[/u] grasped his hand and began leading him to the baths. "[color=yellow]My lady, wait--[/color]" The young knight was sure that he [i]really[/i] should not be the one to intrude upon the Captain in her bathing. He did not attempt to stop [u]Tyaethe[/u], however, not wanting to disrespect the veteran Paladin by resisting. "[color=yellow]Lady Tyaethe--[/color]"

[quote=Tyaethe Radistirin]"I don't see why you shouldn't attend, you took the message. One of those nice privileges of being the first to hear. And it's always better to bring some variety to the party... the nobles can be so boring."[/quote]

The young knight wanted to retort. Taking a message surely was nothing special. And even then, Jarde has never been in a royal ball. He did not know how to act in one or how to interact with those present. He'd heard stories, sure, but the world of nobility was something out of the minds of the commoner. As a knight though, Jarde should've known he would be attending to nobility sooner or later. But he never thought it would be now, he was just a rookie knight. A newcomer. He doesn't belong in a ball with the Princess present.

But before Jarde could respond, he and [u]Tyaethe[/u] ran into [u]Dame Maritza[/u] in her casual wear, heading to the baths herself.

[quote=Tyaethe Radistirin]"Hey, Maritza, want to come to a party?"[/quote]

[quote=Maritza Verenna][color=c4df9b]"A... [i]party?"[/i] I'm flattered that you would consider inviting me, but I can't say that I would be the most welcomed of guests. I think it has something to do with the teeth. Also, while I do have my decorative ceremonial gambeson, it isn't exactly formal court attire... [i]Though if I polished up my plate armor, I suppose it could work...[/i]"[/color][/quote]

That too, realized Jarde. As far as he went, he was already wearing his finest attire. And while he has little knowledge about noble wear, he was pretty sure what he's wearing was no ball attire.

[quote=Maritza Verenna][color=c4df9b][color=c4df9b]"Apologies, fatigue has addled my head. So who is hosting this event and for what occasion?"[/color][/color][/quote]

"[color=yellow]I-It's Princess Falthaen. It's her Royal Ball.[/color]" Jarde gave the most basic gist of the invitation but explained further. "[color=yellow]Captain Danbalion and some knights, who would be chosen by the Captain, are invited.[/color]"
