Yveas does indeed get asked during the first dance. He is invited by a lady at least 70 years old. Her dress is impeccable. Care to squire an old maid around the floor"

Constatine laughs and says" perhaps i deserved that and for now shall we say both. Best not give the game up when it is just starting. I figured you might wish to be a player?
 

Laughing the lady says " true but in this instance i am senior and have to be the one to ask the first time.

"Fair enough, I do not yet know all the ways of the court. It would be my pleasure to dance with you"
says Sigavld offering his arm. "I am Sigvald, and whom do I have the pleasure of dancing with?"
 

Artemis watches in amusement as Deglan is asked to dance by a young man. Deglan is a good sport and takes the young man up on his offer. This banquet is turning out to be a most interesting affair indeed.

Artemis patiently awaits his turn to dance while observing the others.
 

Artermis does not wait long and his amusement at Deglans dance partner spins karma and to his own decision point as to accept or decline the invitation ftom the dashing man in front of him. "I am Joesph and may i have this dance" He is perhaps in his late 20's perhaps 6'3 and 200 pounds of lean muscle.

"Sigvald, I am the dowager duchess of braxton, penelope is my giving name.. Do afyer so many years why does a mirthman venture south.
 

Artemis blushes briefly but quickly recovers. He figures this must be a test of some sort for the new recruits.

"I would be honored to join you in a dance Joseph." he replies in a friendly and somewhat enthusiastic manner. He didn't want to appear too enthusiastic lest someone get the wrong idea about his preferences.
 

Joseph leads artemis to the dancing area with a sure stride and unlike the snickers and stares that greeted Deglan and Constantine people give Joseph a wide berth and keep neutral expressions. With a skilled twirl joseph spins artemis around catches him in a lite embrace and they begin to dance . " so besides the candidacy why come south
 

"Sigvald, I am the dowager duchess of braxton, penelope is my giving name.. Do afyer so many years why does a mirthman venture south.

"Well Penelope," begins Sigavld leading the dowager in a vigorous, if not completely technically correct dance "Part of the treaty Njora has with Car-Ni-Micar is that is will provide five of their most talented young people to serve as retainers when the King calls for them. There was a competition for the spots, it is a great honor to earn a position. So among the other candidates are four countrymen, a skald, a craftsman - I think a blacksmith won this time, a lightfoot warrior, and myself who won and represents the warrior caste of vikings."
