[color=aa0808]"I would be happy to tell you anything you'd like to know, your Highness."[/color] Nicomede said with a genuine, easy smile. The Princess didn't seem to recall, or perhaps know, a thing about his circumstances. That was fine in his books. Actually it was a relief. Much, much better to be an unknown than to be remembered poorly. Easier to make a good first impression than to repair a bad one even with someone as cheerful as the Princess seemed to be. [color=aa0808]"But I don't have any particularly fascinating tales, lately. Plenty of tournament bouts I could talk about but you could hear about those from anyone."

"No, if you want to hear true tales of daring the Knights most recently deployed will have them. Actually, I haven't yet made his acquaintance but I think one of them could even stand in for my charming regional dialect."[/color] He nodded again in the Knight-Captain's direction, a little more at ease than he'd been a moment ago. The newcomer in their midst had already covered for Fanilly's indecision but he could give her a moment or two more to decide upon her answer with ease. 

[color=aa0808]"No apology needed, Knight-Captain,"[/color] he continued with a nod in acknowledgement. [color=aa0808]"You can't know everyone. Not when some of us are so new, especially. I was honored to be invited."[/color]

The newest arrival, Bauthier had called her Elwen, looked to be around his age. Give or take, of course. She seemed to have some history with Sir Bauthier as well, nothing he wanted to intrude upon. But to introduce himself was a must for propriety's sake if nothing else. A formal party wasn't the place to get to know someone well but it was an excellent place for introductions.

[color=aa0808]"I haven't made your acquaintance, either. But I'm pleased to. I'm Nicomede."[/color]
