*The guards confer for a brief moment, and their captain makes a nod.*
"That is quite acceptable and proper. Our guards will protect your charges as if they were your own. Please leave your weapons here, so that you know where they are," he says, waving to a small carpet. It's obviously old and worn, probably why it was relegated to this duty. The weapons will be left on the carpet, halfway between the guards and the tents. You know where they are at all times, and the guards will not touch them.
*When everyone is disarmed who is going to be, you are conducted to the tent of Kadar. Inside it is lit with oil lamps with various colors of glass shades. Carpets line the floor, and cushions are scattered about the periphery. A low table sits in front of Kadar, a solid mountain of a man, plump with good living, groaning with a variety of food.*
*He wears red silk robes with heavy gold embroidery. A blue and red sash has a decorative dagger thrust through it, and his turban has several peacock feathers attached to the front, along with an aquarmarine gem. A half-dozen slave girls with mostly decorative gold chains about their ankles and waists rise to great you and give you coffee, palm wine, milk, and clear water.*
"Welcome to my humble tent, my most excellent guests!" Kadar says in a jolly voice. "Come, eat, drink, and tell me what brings you to cross the wastes."

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)
Jibril bowed low and followed all customs as he entered the tent. When Kadar spoke, Jibril kept his head looking down, though his eyes darted to the heirs to see who would speak.
'I could speak for the heirs,' Jibril thought. Unconsciously, he adjusted his cloak to ensure it covered some of his face and neck. Despite his disadvantages, Jibril had worked had at his diplomatic skills, though he was certain they were not on par with those before him. 'Plus, I am uncertain of just how much they are willing to reveal.'

* Nafeesa step forward and with an elegant bow she introduces her self.*
" I am Nafeesa. My companions and I are on a Journey of undetermined length. As for a destination we have not chosen one at this time. There is not much else to tell you, but we appreciate your hospitality for this evening."
*As she finishes speaking she looks to the other hoping her intro would stir the them to speak as well.*

Abdul enters with a bow and nods for Jbril to make introductions. I do not wish to set myself above the other heirs.

Tariq takes a moment to survey the scene, before stepping forward as well. “Honorable Kadar, your hospitality is renowned throughout the land. We thank you for this opportunity to meet with you and share the bounty of the oasis.”
"A rather mysterious journey, lovely Nafeesa. And you sir, have a most honeyed tongue. Come, taste the honey cakes, and tell me what I may call you all. I see faces here that would be welcome in any court of the land, and I beg to know if I am in the presence of nobility," Kadar says, laying his eyes briefly on each member of the company. Suhayb and Omran look to Jibril, and then over to Tariq, who has done most of the speaking thus far.

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)
Jibril took the sign from Abdul and made the introductions for the group of individuals that he protected. Jibril tried to be as diplomatic as possible, yet maintain no reference to their standings as heirs.
"My words and knowledge of the esteemed individuals that I help to protect are surely not worthy for such honored ears as yours," Jibril began, "I only hope they are sufficient for your needs."
Starting with the one who nodded for him to speak, Jibril began his introductions, "May I present to you, Abdul-Hadid, Imperial Scout and in fact one time Captain of the Imperial Scouts. His ability and knowledge of the desert is a marvel to me every day."
"Words cannot truly express the light of Samira, the Radiant Jewel, and I will not show myself more the fool by attempting to describe her beauty . . . "
“Beside her is the incomparable Shalah, Flower of the Desert Oasis, whose beauty and eloquence are truly something to behold . . . .”
“Beyond is Nafeesa, whom you have already been introduced, wisdom and healing are always within reach when one is honored to be near her . . . " Jibril continued to walk next to each heir as he introduced then, trying to gauge just much to say of each of them.
"I also have the honor to introduce to you, Tariq Salim, Jewel Merchant of the Six Cities. His knowledge and experience have proven quite helpful in our journey.”
" . . . and this esteemed man is Tarek al Saoud, exalted priest of the Five Pillars, well-renowned for his encounter with the . . ." Jibril continued his introductions until everyone but himself, Suhayb and Omran had been introduced.
"Suhayb, Omran and I have the honor and privilege to guard and protect this varied assemblage of esteemed traveler until their journey has reached its conclusion," Jibril finished.

Though she feels like doing nothing more than rolling her amber eyes at Jibril for introducing her, her name was far to well known for her liking, Samira gracefully goes through a ritual greeting that comes so natural to her from her years of training.

*At the introduction of everyone, Kadar gives a solemn nod.*
"A wondrous company indeed. Priest Tarek! Would you be so good as to bless this repast?" he ask jovially. Tarek gives a brief blessing, wishing good fortune upon his host, while Kadar looks over the assembled company. "Ah Samira and Shalah. These two wondrous ladies I have heard of, but only in rumors! Their beauty surpasses even the most flowery poet's words, and my tent is graced with their presence. But could I be so bold as to inquire what takes such a procession across the sands without servants or camels enough to tend their needs?"
