Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lichtenhart" data-source="post: 2582873" data-attributes="member: 761">Simon lets Parcival go, after giving a few recommendation about Gwinneth and the child, apologizing for having misjudged him, and offering his best wishes.He carries around the ball of Light as if it was a precious and fragile treasure, looking at the little lantern within, wondering about its secret. He can only guess its importance and value, and isn't quite able to explain it to his brothers and sister.As they explain their idea, he is a little undecided about the party, because he would love it and has not the heart to say no to Alyra, but he really needs time to work at least on some of the unanswered questions. Otherwise he's sure he would be unable to enjoy it.When they stop at the temple, he repeats to the Elatic what Percival told him, and the poem too, without missing a word. Waiting carefully for any reaction by him or their Mistress, he asks if he perchance knows the tale of the blind man and the lantern. Then he shows him the ball of light, and if the Imperatrix shows up personally to receive it, he'll hand it to her with a bow that would make David proud.§ § §He is also very curious to see Castle Innocence, and he finds it a little like he imagined it. He finds quite likable Alyra's servants too. Fraulein Rottenmeier reminds him a little of his governess, the old man looks interesting indeed, and he can't wait to know if he qualifies for that chocolate cake. His mouth waters a bit at the thought of it, but is he a "pure of heart"?He doesn't want to step on his hostess' toes, though, and waiting for her cue, he only introduces himself."How nice to get such a warm welcome. My name is Simon, Duke of Keys."</blockquote>
