Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scotley" data-source="post: 6145749" data-attributes="member: 11520">On the morning of the assembly day, a tall broad shouldered young man of perhaps 17 rippling with powerful muscles steps out of his tent on the green past the red and cream banners for his house and the black horse at full chase he has chosen as a personal symbol. He gives instructions to an equally young servant in fine livery before strolling the Green. He is dressed in the latest court fashions though he looks a bit uncomfortable in the complex finery. He wears a slim Rapier and a coiled whip. He seems to have to consciously remind himself to stand up straight and smile as he walks about. He samples just a taste of each of the dishes he had ordered to make sure they are as he planned then he wanders about sampling some of the other dishes. He eats and drinks in only nibbles and sips. The abundant food and drink of the past five days have left his new clothes snug as it is. Henry rubs his head in remembrance of dinner with cousin Sigvald. They must have drank enough to float a warhorse at dinner the other night. He nods to a couple of people he has met over the last five days, blushing shyly at some of the young women as he makes his way to the stages where the players can be found performing.  [sblock=Housekeeping details]I have started with the day of assembly implying that I have been here five days previous. Hope that is what you had in mind. On the day should we be wearing our uniforms yet? If so I'll amend. Are weapons allowed on the Green?[/sblock]</blockquote>
