Auther looked up from his thoughts as He saw the other LIend noble coming towards him. Smiling he pulled his right arm back as he rose his left to extend it for a shake. "It is good to see you too cousin, I trust you are faring well in this sunnier weather, the achieves rarely get such glare from outside." He turned his attention to the strange woman who approached who reminded him of some of the more long lived residents in Liend, she seemed interested in his royal counterpart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valerie smiled at the princess and nodded, "It would seem most fortuitous for us to join with eachother, I'd love to see what my research can do in the field when applied practicly." She paused and blinked staring past Aluche befor pointing, "I think you have a visitor."
Aurora was fidgety, moving her hands together as she approached, "Uhm... hello there, I was looking for some traveling companions and...well... do you want to travel together?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hellia smiled at Berry and bent forward to match the other girls height. "Hey there, can I help you?" She looked over watching Bael and others before turning back, "We can probably talk more if you wish to come with."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the groups continued their chatter time passed, night falling across the town as torch and candle lit the homes and streets. The festival still lingered on in the market as mant businesses took this time to cater to the people still remaining up.

Berry was about to respond, she was sure that she could think of something not embarrassing to say up until when the knight gave Berry her full attention and she found herself well and properly tongue-tied. “Um, well, I wanted to meet you – I mean, we’re fellow representatives and you looked nice and kind of cute…” There was probably more that she wanted to say but it was muffled by how she buried her steadily reddening face into the fuzziness that was Sunshine.
“Yeah, I’ll come along.” Drifted out from her shield to the world of social.

Night drops on the group as they make their way towards the local tavern. Azazel had heard stories of taverns from the fairy tales he read as a kid. Rowdy dark refuges for the most rambonxious delinquents any kingdom had to offer. Azazel would have expected to see some gents with prosthetic limbs, grizzly scars, and maybe just a hint of musk that reeked somewhere in between gutter mead and the visceral scent of a pile of dead rats projectile vomiting on an even bigger pile of dead rats that was once the dumping ground for Whoopi Goldberg’s jogging pants. Regardless of what character of patron azazel actually happened upon in the tavern, he made sure to always have another person acting as a buffer, primarily bael, since he was the one that made azazel the least uncomfortable.
Upon arriving at the table, azazel waited for someone to provide him food, just as they did back home. Usually he preferred an array of fruits, thin slices of a light meat, red wine that had the alcohol content of say, flinstones gummy vitamins, and a near endless supply of desserts. Azazel sat patiently like always, and continued to study jioni thoroughly, unconvinced that his “affection” was pure in intentions.

Aluche smiled watching the girl's nervousness, finding it rather adorable. "Why of course you can. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aluche Argenta Triaria. May I ask for yours?" She says, holding out her hand and giving Aurora a gentle smile to try and calm her down a bit.

Wow. This one's a real cutie, ain't she? Who needs fellas like Jioni when ya have gals like Val n' this little ball o' adorable? I keep telling you that I'm not interested in him like that! So ya've said, but we both know how ya really feel. What interests me is the fact that ya didn't deny finding Val n' the gal in front o' us attractive. W-w-w-w-w-what are you suggesting?!?! Ya know exactly what Ah'm suggesting. 4d6·4d6

Erinna stood a step behind and to the left of Princess Aluche as she spoke with the two other female representatives. The priestess clasped her hands before her and smiled politely, but made no move to introduce herself. It was good that the princess was making connections with the champions of the other kingdoms. It could likely help with the relationships of the kingdoms themselves, as Aurian hoped. Annoyingly, though Erinna had managed to get rid of the Aurian boy - much more quickly than she had expected - he seemed to have attracted a much larger group of representatives than the princess. That group even included the Braxian prince, and though he was acting less than princely so far, that would have been a valuable relationship to establish.
But there was nothing Erinna could do about any of this, so she instead focused on the two that were talking to Aluche, inspecting them closely. She was well aware of the possibility that one of them might use this opportunity to eliminate some of their competition early.

As the group made ready to depart for the tavern, Jioni couldn't very well leave without giving his childhood friend a proper goodbye. Walking over to Aluche, he came over and surprised her with a hug from behind. He spoke softly to her, and left when he was done.
"Be safe out there Queenie, I hope to see you again soon. Maybe one of these days we can actually get to spend time with one another without your snooty friend getting in the way. I expect great things from you, so make me proud."

Aluche mind blanked out as she was suddenly hugged from behind, letting out a startled shout. "Aaaaaahhhhh!"

The sudden move by Jioni shocked Erinna out of her composure. Her hands shot up to cover her mouth as her eyes bugged out and her heart skipped a beat. A shocked, "Eeep!" escaped her lips at the deeply intimate pose the boy had taken with the Princess without warning. A moment later, it was echoed by Aluche, only much louder. The force of the auditory blast was too much for the already dazed Erinna, and she collapsed onto the floor of the stage in a faint.

Jioni feels the wave of energy knock into him, forcing him to release the princess as he stumbled for a bit. He took a moment to compose himself before grinning at the girl. Looking at his armour, he smiled.
"Mother did a good job with th-"
Oh no, it seems the priestess had fainted. He rushed to her side, looking back to Aluche.
"Hey, come here! Your friend is in some distress. I didn't think that spell was that powerful."

Star let out a sigh as she turned to watch the train wreck happen, resisting the urge to both laugh and sigh. Jioni knew better then to hug a girl without permission that was for sure, and Aluche was as jittery as when she was a child. Star would put money the young princess still had her stuffed Eevee now, quite likely with her for the journey. And of course Aluche's medic had the constitution of a father watching his wife give birth. Mew help her.
Star walked over a bit of firmness in her voice as she took control of the situation before it spiraled any more. Both Jioni and Aluche had heard the tone before when they, along with Hoshi, had been caught making mischief. "Jioni, you know better then to hug someone without permission. Let's get the young priestess somewhere to rest and we can wake her up, she looks like she'll need some water. Aluche, please come with us so your servant doesn't panic upon awakening. There was a tavern up the road that was open for the competitors, we can go there. Let's get moving children."
Star clapped her hands as she turned and headed off to the tavern as day turned to night, Jioni and their group following her even as Azazel ran ahead to look for food. Arriving at the tavern she directed Jioni to prop the priestess in a comfortable chair and sit down, as she gave him a small bundle of herbs from her first aid kit with the direct order of 'chew' in that tone only mothers know. She knew the attack Aluche used, she had lived with Glamour Weavers for years. That said Erinna seemed to be as much stress as damage so a small herb on her tongue, and then she cracked open a bottle of smelling salts for the young priestess. Dabbing it under her nose and returning her to the world of the waking before packing her bag up.
"Really, the both of you? Didn't I teach you better." She sighed backing away from the waking priestess and glancing at both the princess and the knight, waiting for an explanation of their actions.

Jioni just laughed and grinned the entire time, totally unapologetic.
"Thanks for the heals Aunt Star, I knew we'd make a great team. As for why I hugged her? She's an old friend. I only did what I learned from the way you are with Mother."

Azazel made note of the unconscious girl on their drudge to the tavern. Jionis weapon of kindness was clearly not to be tested. But to what extent did the damage of kindness have? Could jioni use it break a limb? Warp a mind? Kill a seasoned warrior? All this would have to wait because azazel had sat patiently for 3 whole minutes and he STILL had no food in front of him. This was unacceptable.
”WHO IS SUPPOSED TO FEED ME TONIGHT?! I REQUIRE SUSTANANCE!”
Azazel was somehow not shy when it came to being inconvenienced

At Azazel's outburst he looked over at the boy, walking over to him with a disapproving frown.
"That's not how you ask for things. You aren't at home, you have no servants here. Learn to better speak to others and you may find better results."
His smile then returned.
"Now if you say please I might be persuaded to help you find food."

Azazel was starting to regret trapping his retainers in their rooms so they couldn’t accompany him. He was not ok with being . . . Whatever the hell this not getting what he wants thing was. It was even more irritating to have someone speak to him in such a stern tone who wasn’t a member of his family (His little sister was especially cruel in her scolding). But when jioni rolled out that smile, turned out that charm, azazel felt that familiar fluster that occurred in their previous encounter. His cheeks reddened a bit, but he wasn’t about to let himself fall victim to jioni’s tricks this time.
”You plan to poison my food don’t you?! You’re using that charm of yours to get an upper hand over me right?!”
Azazel puts Bael between him and jioni during his ramblings. Bael has officially been promoted to human shield.
”I don’t need food so badly that I’d willingly risk being attacked right out the gate! Better luck next time!”

Jioni laughs, shaking his head.
"I had no intention of touching your food, that would be me in part serving you and I have no intention of encouraging your spoiled behaviour."

”You weren’t? Then who was going to bring me my food?”

Jioni grins. "You were going to use those feet of yours and order it from the kitchen, of course."

Aluche looks at her feet in shame. "I-I'm sorry Miss Star..." Aluche said, her face a deep red.
Now look what ya did! Star's mad at us! Me?! You're the one who screamed! Don't be daft! Ah can't use that move remember? B-But I know I didn't activate it! Well, if ya didn't, who did?!

At his outburst, Jioni's expression turned to disgust. "Typical royals." He turned and returned to the table without a second word or look for the boy.
