Somnus  Perhaps they hadn't come for the festival at all. It was obvious that they desired audience with the Dawn King, but Kasil was not there. As such, their demeanor changed, and Somnus lifted his head just a tad bit higher, the feathers of his wings ruffling as he shifted them among his shoulders. "My apologies," Somnus began sincerely, dipping his head once more. "Would it be that he were here and capable, I've no doubt that His Majesty would meet with you." Whoever, exactly, they might be. The fact that they had not introduced themselves upon his own was a little unsettling, but not everyone held the same mentality that most of Delumine did. Still. It was obvious that the painted stallion was somewhat satisfied, if only to be welcomed into Delumine to partake in the festival. Good. So long as everyone enjoyed themselves and the peace remained, that was all that mattered. Luckily Ulric was already on the task of keeping an eye on those already engaged in the celebrations to deter anything of ill-will to happen. From there, Somnus nodded once more to each of them; first the painted stallion of whom he had traded words, then the golden young man at one side, and lastly to the blue roan. The last two had said nothing at all, allowing their leader to speak for them. Odd. As though fate would have it, however, another of Delumine's Court joined their little gaggle. Youthful, jovial, innocent Pan arrived, carrying with him a basket of warm, delicious treats, and with his arrival, the unspoken tension seemed to dissipate into the air around them. Somnus smiled, lowering his head and regarding the boy with a soft, affectionate look swimming within keen verdant eyes. "Thank you, Pan," he murmured, grateful for such a kind and thoughtful offering to the desert dwellers. The tactician himself would hold off for now. There would be many delicacies to indulge in later, when he had the time. "How silly of me to not have welcomed them with something from surely such a long journey." Here, Somnus' rapt emerald eyes flick upwards again. "Please try some of the spiced drinks as well. They're quite delicious." Through the exchange, Somnus learns one of their names. Vadim. It is not familiar, and he has not heard it before, but he filters that information away to be pulled out at a later time. "Thank you, Vadim," he stated, pleased with the golden youth's compliment, "On behalf of His Majesty and myself, we hope that you all enjoy yourselves." |
