[color=D2691E]"You are looking splendid, not at all too much!"[/color] He held out a hand for her to take before turning towards the hallway leading to the dining room. [color=D2691E]"No matter what you wear I am sure someone like yourself will always be a radiant beauty.[/color] He said with a wink, gently leading her towards the room where everyone was seated. An array of familiar sensations filled his lungs and nostrils. His demeanor lightened up even more as he was reminded of home, his hand seemed to absent-mindedly grip onto Ariella's as he took in the sights. He looked around and saw his family amidst a few other faces he had yet to see. Before he could address them he would first turn towards the Sultan. [color=D2691E]"Ah, dear Sultan, always the brightest in the room. I am happy to see you in good health, and hope the day's toils have not had much wear on you. This will be a fun dinner!"[/color] He said with a deep bow before beginning to walk around the table with Ariella towards an ideal spot to sit. The first one he saw was a young man who had an outstretched hand greeting him about his exploits as a tradesman. He smiled and met the hand with his own, shaking it firmly and beaming with pride at the notion that even in far away lands his trades were talked about. [color=D2691E]"It is certainly nice to meet you as well. With a stature like yourself I believe you must be one of the Danrose brothers."[/color] He took a moment looking the man up and down to take his guess, as he hadn't caught the man's name yet. [color=D2691E]"Prince Auguste, I presume?"[/color] He ended the handshake and gave a much more reserved bow before walking over with Ariella towards their seats. He stopped very briefly however once I saw the man sitting at the other end of the table. He knew that seat would be for his "father", whom he despised, yet another man he had not yet met sat in that chair. The man seemed to be teeming with his own sense of pride and confidence that Farim had to admit was quite bold of him. He walked beside the man and stopped to lean down and whisper. [color=D2691E]"I do not know you, sir, but I should warn you that the Grand Vizier usually sits opposite of the Sultan. So do be careful."[/color] He continued in stride towards to the two open seats near the man he just spoke to and pulled a seat out for Ariella to place herself. He had given her the seat nearest to Nahir since he had noticed a slight disposition from her when she walked by the strangely confident man. He then took a seat between her and the man he would soon learn to be Lorenzo before looking around the table. [color=D2691E]"I am happy to see so many faces, some old, some new. For those not properly acquianted I am the one and only Farim Hafiz Kadir. Pleasure to meet you all and to see some of you again."[/color] His hand casually gestured towards Ariella, a smile across his face while he spoke next. [color=D2691E]"This is the lovely Lady Ariella Edwards. I do hope you don't mind that I invited her. She is but one of many lovely people I've met on my first day here. This is certainly quite the city with extremely wonderful people thus far. I hope for those whose names I do not know that we can become acquianted before we part ways this evening."[/color] He looked towards his three cousins lined up to his right. [color=D2691E]"I trust you all had yourselves some fun in the park after our short forray. I believe I even heard some common folk referring to a growling tiger over by the pancake event, so even cousin Mayet is enjoying her time here!"[/color] He chuckled, thinking again about how they had themselves a bit of an exuberant show of fun and games earlier, but quickly waved his hand as if to stop himself from going further. [color=D2691E]"Ah but alas I came amidst a conversation. I believe Nahir was just speaking about swordplay at the colliseum. I would love to hear more!"[/color] [/center]
