Himeko put on a smile. "Of course, I would love to be of any assistance." Himeko said.

Unknowing of where to sit, she hopes taking the seat, right near her new friend, Olaf will be okay. "That sounds interesting, but don't your gods wish for you to not eat certain meats?" She seems curious yet confused. Katelyn seems to have refined manners as she waits. She had taken classes on how to be respectful and proper so she was prepared. In fact, if she wasn't needed in a court or audience, her advisors usually had her taking all sorts of classes. So far, Katelyn had loved Olaf's culture and Olaf as a person. He seemed to have very good intentions to help Mandisa so she greatly respected him. She starts fiddling with some of her golden jewelry as they talk, waiting for the food to arrive.

"Up here, Hikaru!" She beckons to him from the tree, waving at him.

Now that they traversed inside the palace, Katelyn admired the strange interior decoration. Where was all their gold, silk, and art? They had some three dimensional artworks of some animals. She was surprised when he didn't understand what the Season of the Flood was, but she figured it was okay since she didn't know about the Great Hunt. "The Season of the Flood is when our great river rises and floods the crops so we get plenty of good food during that season. It happens when the god of unity comes to our river." She smiles happily up at him as she explains. Katelyn seemed to be very educated about the religion of Mandisa and it seemed she loved to talk about it.

Oh. Those are interesting animals. What is 'Bare'? I have heard of the others." Katelyn loved to learn, so she was a good listener when it came to Olaf's culture. She gazed around the large throne room, noticing the Jarl and sending a smile his way. She was very happy to be hear and she sure showed it. "Oh, what are your gods like? I mean, you have no river."

Katelyn disregarded Olaf speaking with his Jarl about a bride. She figured that it meant something different here. She seems very intrigued as he tells her about his religion. It was all so foreign to her that she thought he was a tad strange, not understanding her hypocrisy. He told her that she could learn more over dinner. She smiled and nodded. "When will we eat?" She asked, trying to be polite as she did. Katelyn wondered if they ate different things to.

Katelyn watches as the gate raises, she seems interested, considering the gates in Mandisa were basically large wooden doors. "That iron stuff is really interesting! It's like gold but for building!" I can't wait to meet my new friend King Olaf. Is he a nice person?" Katelyn seemed extra cheery ever since they arrived. Her patience was replaced with excitement as her long journey ended. "Even the people changed!" She seemed to look at all the differences between her and the people of Cobenstock and relate them back to Mandisa. She tried to remain polite but her excitement got the better of her as she watched common people go about their business, and for some reason, she was extremely interested and amused. She waved to the common folk and occasionally started a conversation as they passed by. Although she was very polite and patient, she related many different things back to her religion. She didn't mean to annoy people, but it was all she knew. "When will we meet the king?"

Katelyn smiles as the man kisses her hand. She had never had that happen in Mandisa because they felt she was too young. "A pleasure to meet you as well. I thank the gods for a chance to meet such a generous man. I am very interested in your culture and lifestyle, Sir. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to experience it. From what I have heard, you are the one who is meant to be my 'suitor'." Katelyn was very formal as they introduced themselves. She wanted to make a very positive impression on her lovely host, who, to her knowledge, wanted to have a strong alliance and be her friend. She looks up at the palace as they near it. Katelyn seemed to be admiring its sheer beauty and architectural design as they traveled. She acted extremely polite because she wanted to be treated as an adult. She was the youngest girl she had seen so far. Her one pet peeve was not being treated as an adult, though she could be childish at times. Katelyn was prepared for this moment with all the classes she was required to take on elegance as well as being proper and polite. "Please, do tell me about what wondrous things happen in Cobenstock."
"Oh?" She begins to walk in, at his side, almost clinging to him childishly. She had been watching many different people speaking of the 'Great Hunt'. She was very interested she put it off until he spoke of it again. Katelyn looked at the elegant structure carved into the mountain. She was having a blast, learning all of these new things about her allies. "I can't help but notice that you have no river. Without a river what do you do during the Season of the Flood?" Katelyn had yet to understand that there were differences between cultures. She had assumed every country celebrated her holidays. She also very much enjoyed being around Olaf. To her he seemed like such a friendly and elegant king.

Katelyn seemed awestruck at the intricate palace. She had started to wonder if they used magic to carve all of it out. She touches the stone wall of the mountain, seemingly interested at such a small detail. "Even your stone is different." He soon started telling her about something called the 'Great Hunt'. She entered the mountainous palace as they conversed. "King Olaf Sir, what is 'Great Hunt'? I was never taught that in my classes." She looked up at him with curiosity "And..." She paused trying to think of a way not to be rude. "Why don't you worship?" She stated her question slowly trying not to be mean to her new found friend, yet still intent on learning why he didn't follow her religion.

Katelyn walks up with him. She then goes to sit next to him on the cart. "Oh, do not worry about my clothes. My advisors had made sure I was prepared and I have a few things to wear if I were to get cold." She rubs her hand on her bag that was over her shoulder. It had a few hieroglyphs made of leather sewn on to remind her of home. One of her advisors soon came up to Hod. He had another bag of Katelyn's.
"I ask that if you have the space on your caravan that you take some of her extra supplies. Just in case she needs them. Items for her prayers and more regla clothes for when they arrive. Please only do so if you have extra space." The advisors soon walk off, waving to the Pharaoh who had no other family to wish her off. She seemed very excited as they traveled yet she remained patient throughout the days. The journey interested her a lot considering she had never left Mandisa.
Katelyn had been patient the entire time, containing her excitement. She did not want to look weird in front of her new friends. She had a really fun time on the boat, going on and on to herself about something religious. They had finally made it into the capital town of Valhashika. She was wearing a robe-like cloak now, the cold had been getting to her ever since they left the desert. "So who is the man that will be my 'suitor', and what does he do? I want to know all about your country!" She seemed adamant about learning as well. This being her first time away, she was very excited on how different and weird people were compared to her norm. The snow had really interested her as well. She played with it a lot as she walked next to the cart. She wanted to talk with the soldiers at times so she walked with them. Now, she was looking all around the city, waving to people as they passed. Katelyn couldn't help but point out the difference in architecture. "Wow where did you guys get the wood to build all that? We don't have very many trees in Mandisa. My advisors say it is an 'import'."

(Since Laggia and I are kinda 1x1ing we are gonna move to pms and paste here when we are finished with just he and I)
