Farim entered the Sultan's room as requested at the hour, finding Nahir likely to be sat there and his ever loving father present. A slight scowl had adorned his face, but this was not to Farim's surprise. Likely there was some inconsequential thing that Hafiz found distasteful and he would make it his mission to give Farim hell to pay for it. But for now his attention was reserved for someone far more important. He couldn't help but feel anxious at what the Sultan would have for him, and he took the chance to bow before him and take a seat next to his cousin.

[color=D2691E]"Your Radiance."[/color] He greeted.

Then the Sultan spoke of his pride for him. To hear this praise was a welcome change of pace. For a few moments it felt as if he was speaking with his uncle rather than the ruler of Alidasht. He made some firm points, to which Farim would nod in agreement. Hafiz's glare would be everpresent as the mention of a potential partner came up, and Farim couldn't help but think on what exactly entails an ideal partner for him. Sultan Raif made it abundantly clear that he couldn't just pick any person here for potential courting, but someone that would fit with his role as a potential world leader. He felt the notion to be a touch on the nose and pragmatic, but he still kept a postiive demeanor for the time being. Such a big choice could hardly be made in a day.

As the group spoke amongst one another, whatever it is they would share between one another, Farim would make sure to end the night with another bow followed by his usual cadence of respect and tactful words. [color=D2691E]"Your Radiance I shall not overlook such praise. I am deeply humbled by your words and will consider them deeply in the days to come. I hope I can do you and our family proud."[/color] He would ignore any remarks from his dad and proceed to walk out of the room once dismissed. If he were to pass by Nahir on the way outside the chambers, once they had gained some distance from the doors, he would give a much more casual and friendly grin her way before they parted to their rooms.

[color=D2691E]"For what it's worth. I appreciate how you handled yourself at dinner. As much as this whole 'race for the throne' is between us, I hope we can still remain close as a family regardless of outcome. If you were chosen I want you to know I would give you my support in any way I could."[/color] He turned to face Nahir and pulled the cloth turban constantly protecting his head off, showing the brown curly locks that would likely be still wet with product. He tucked the headpiece under his arm and looked at Nahir. [color=D2691E]"No matter what may happen, even if something violent like the dinner. Whatever you or Mayet or whomever may say I still consider you all family. Tisbah ‘ala khayr (Good night) my cousin."[/color] He would pause for her to say or do whatever she may in response and then head into his chambers for the evening.

Once inside, Farim began to change into more [url=https://imgur.com/a/5oBhcKv]comfortable clothing[/url] fitting for someone resting for the evening. His simple white cloth robes were smooth to the touch, expertly woven by one of the more finer artisans from back home. He made sure to stride over to Thara, petting her along her head and giving a single kiss along her beak. She would coo softly and ruffle her wings, clearly tired from the days activities. He put together an arrangement of hookah nearby, cleaning off his pipe, nozzle, and preparing a well-woven batch of herbs from his brother Dali. Tonight had been stressful, and for just a few moments Farim needed to take the edge off his stress and worries.

[hider=Farim's inner monologue]
Farim sat in a chair and pulled the nozzle to his lips, pulling in a thick drag of smoke to start the night off strong. Immediately his vision blurred and he let out a slight cough. [color=D2691E][i]Inshallah, Dali, what did you put in this?[/i][/color] He took a lighter puff to let the smoke and natural herbs work their magic. His mind drifted and he thought of how his day had gone. He admitted it was a rather chaotic start with his late evening arrival, and the morning left some to be desired after Layla's usual harsh judgement of the foreigners attempt at their cuisine. He began to giggle as her remembered her scowling face upon trying the various treats they had assembled. [color=D2691E][i]Heh heh. Dear cousin Layla you are so picky.[/i][/color]

After that he had met back up with not only her, but Nahir and his new friend Anastasia as well. Not to mention Saiya and Dali had even arrived in the park. [color=D2691E][i]Truly Sorian park became Shehzadi park that day. Hehehe![/i][/color] Another fit of laughter escaped his lungs while reminiscing about the events leading up to the nights conclusions. He had met spent most of the day with Anastasia, and most of the evening with Ariella, two wonderfully kind people he had already started to enjoy the company of. Sadly there was some drama at the family dinner...[color=D2691E][i]But that is to be expected, no?[/i][/color] He sighed and pulled another lungful of smoke into his body.

He began to think and hope that the Princess was safe, wherever she may be. He hoped Ariella's emergency had not been cause for such an alarm. He hoped that Charlotte girl would find the answers she was looking for, and that her father could hopefully escape the wrath and gaze of his vengeful father. A string of hopes and dreams rattled off in his head. [color=D2691E][i]All this just on the first day. I suppose I am glad to be here. If not to say I met some beautiful women and tried some lovely food~.[/i][/color] His filter began to fade, being alone with his thoughts in this state was somewhat euphoric for Farim.

He would make sure to try and choose his partner wisely, he understood that much. [color=D2691E][i]But is it too much to ask for someone who loves me too?[/i][/color] He thought to himself. Currently, the Princess had blown him away with his introduction to this fine capital, but there had been others who had made such a good impression. Some as potential allies or acquaintances, and some even as potential love interests. With his final drag he stood up and began to make preparations for bed. A final giggle coming from him as he thought promiscuously about the following morning. [color=D2691E][i]If I really do get to see her tomorrow then it would be another good day I am sure. Especially if she is coming straight to my room, hehehehe![/i][/color] He knew the notion was silly, and that it was merely a visit. But when one partakes in the wares of Dali Kadir, you forfeit every notion of tact and simply indulge in the now, something Farim rarely got to do.

After a moderate session of smoking and reflection, Farim disposed of the pipe water and used leaves into a nearby bucket. He placed it outside his door for a servant to come pick up later on in the evening or early morning. His eyes were slightly reddened from the rather potent arrangement his brother had made. He couldn't help but silently giggle to himself as he continued rattling possibilities of futures in his head. For once, he felt like he had many paths to choose, but he knew to watch himself as best he could. Because he knew there was always a certain someone watching his every move.
