If their joint class was a diplomatic move, Raimund couldn’t tell if Lysander Roland had properly realised the weight of his decision. Unlike an established court to bring young lords and ladies into, Garreg Mach had little of a mold to speak of. Two of the professors expressed disdain for a third in their very introduction. Perhaps, as Duke Gloucester could say, Raimund should not expect proper bearing of those of a lower station. If these words flickered in the back of his own head, Raimund could scarcely imagine what thoughts now raced throughout the more traditionally-minded. 

When student introductions started, Clarissa was quick to set the tune and Jorah was about as quick at dancing out of it. Raimund could scarcely hide a smirk at their clashing theatrics. All of a sudden, it felt truly like old times… And if Jorah's present day-grin conveyed the same message it would have two years ago... Challenge accepted.

“You may find yourselves coloured surprised,” As if rehearsed, Raimund carried on the Golden Deer introductions before Jorah had even returned to his seat. “Perhaps bewildered even. I would not blame you. Still it falls onto me to assure you, there is no better way for us to introduce the Leicester Alliance. Diversity is our strength - we wield both the minds of the righteous and devout Clarissa von Edmund and the sociable and free thinking Jorah von Riegan.” Raimund briefly paused to seek eye contact with Black Eagle and Blue Lion students. “A diversity of strength we wish to extend to all who would cooperate with us. If I may be so free to speak for all us deer.”

“As for my [i]humble[/i] self,” The devilish glint in his eyes would surely forewarn Jorah and Clarissa of upcoming mischief. “I am Raimund Kent, endorsed by House Gloucester to be here at Garreg Mach. I enjoy falconry, dancing the night away and hopefully your wonderful company this very evening, so that Jorah and I may set the stage for a taste of true Leicester hospitality. I would grossly dislike it if none responded to my invitation.” Raimund winked at no one person in particular. “I won’t spoil the surprise, but wear something easy to move around in.”
