[Color=gold][b]Interaction:[/b][/color] Sadie [@Potter], Drake [@Lava Alckon]

[color=#DDA0DD]“My goodness! I understand her response now. I do apologize for startling her so bad. Let me know if I can get her any cakes or tea please to help make up for it.”[/color]

Alexander had been ready to speak again when the abrupt sound of a poorly played trumpet filled the air encompassing the tea party. Now, [i]this[/i] most certainly drew his gaze away from the table. His face sharply flung toward the awful sound, breaking his warm composure as he briefly sneered at Callum who had announced the arrival of additional treats.  [color=gold][i]Prince of Onions… I’ll- refrain. Yes, I will refrain.[/i][/color] He had nearly meditated the thought as he mentally struggled to return his attention to the princess. However, this momentary distraction did bear fruit. So many had arrived since the start of his conversation with Sadie and Drake. So many opportunities to meet and greet others. And with this in mind, he willed his smile to return, continuing on as if he didn’t just skip several beats.

[Color=gold]“She would almost die if the Varian Princess served her cake and tea.”[/color] Alexander couldn't help but laugh at the offer. However, he was quick to contain his fit of humor so he could speak more plainly to do well in showing Sadie respect. [Color=gold]“She would absolutely love it if you performed such a gesture but… that would mean getting closer to a particular group and I wouldn't want that for you.”[/color] He referred to the table of women that had pestered her after she had tripped on one of their dresses. [Color=gold]“Not when you're being so generous to us. But perhaps I'll surprise her by bringing her to meet you both. Perhaps later.”[/color] Alexander was sure it would make Lianna's day. She wasn't a people person like he was but who could beat meeting and joining a princess for tea?

When his attendance at Count Calbert Damien's masquerade party was brought up, he visibly became ecstatic. His eyebrows rose and his smile nearly grew twofold.

[Color=gold]“Yes, that is the plan. My wife and I would like to get familiar with some of the notables in Sorian and besides this tea party, that might be the gathering to do so. We'll be in the city for a while so I figured we should make acquaintances. You two potentially being the first of many.”[/color]

[color=greenyellow]"Well I do appreciate your company, Sir. I do not wish to keep you any longer than you'd like, but if there is anything else you'd like to discuss before you take your leave I am more than happy to share some more words."[/color] Alexander caught the hint, seeing his time with the two reaching its expiration.

[color=gold]“No, no. We’ve spoken plenty, which is far more than I deserve in the presence of you both. It was indeed a pleasure… and something to brag to my wife about too.”[/color] He gave Drake a curt nod before facing Sadie to perform a customary bow. [color=gold]“Your grace, and perhaps my favorite princess so far.”[/color] Alexander remarked before standing straight and departing from the table but not without flashing a warm smile to Genevieve, Sadie’s bodyguard. 

Now free from the conversation, Alexander’s eyes were able to wander from face to face. Though he attempted to take note of only newer arrivals, he couldn’t help but return his gaze to the mysterious redheaded maiden. He’d have to ask Lianna about her before he engaged. 

Among the newcomers was Prince Wulfric Danrose. A rung he needed to squint at to see clearly on the tower of a ladder. This tea party could grant him the chance to approach him but it was a risk to speak with him now. Alexander had to bide his time before their eventual confrontation. One he was looking rather forward to. 

Then there was the obnoxiously boisterous Prince of Onions who he couldn’t quite make out, unable to recognize him as Prince Callum Danrose, though he did match the description. 

The beautiful Princess Anastasia Danrose also graced the event with her arrival while looking quite stunning. [color=gold][i]Incredible.[/i][/color] He was nearly entranced with the opportunity to speak to her. Everything seemed so perfect until his eyes landed on the form of someone that caused him to instinctively lose his smile and clench his well-defined jaw. Fear appeared to have gripped him as he stared intensely at the familiar figure. A woman.

Skin as pale as the moon, covered by a stark black gown. Raven hair that only accentuated the lack of color in her ghastly visage. A frail appearance about was weakness personified. Alexander’s look of shock morphed into one of disgust that would have made the sneer he shot Callum seem pleasant. [color=gold][i][b]Her[/b]…[/i][/color] He nearly spat but instead regained his composure as well as his footing as he continued toward his wife. The two had much to discuss.
