JA's "The Prince's Own" Scotley/Henry Northantis Solo/RG

[J. Alexander]

A brief chat with the tailor yields the information that grey and dark grey will be soon back in fashion as it give the impression of having royal favor / approval.

 

[Scotley]

Trusting to the man's wisdom, Henry orders a classically tailored suit in grays for pick up later in the week.

He then goes back to the tent so see how Daniel is doing getting things arranged. He trades his travel clothes for one of the traditional outfits of his homeland and goes for a walk around the Green to take in the sights.

 

[J. Alexander]

Daniel had the tent smartly arranged and presentable

Walking about henry is astinished at the number of people and costums

 

[Scotley]

Henry will just make the rounds and get an over-view of what is happening and try to get a feel for the types of folk who will serve. He is very concerned about what capacity he might serve in.

 

[J. Alexander]

Intially Candidates are oriented in the various aspect of the royal house and how things operated...they spend time in the kitchens, the stable, the chancery, etc were their apptitude is judged. This goes on for about 6 months then they begin prepartion for service..

 

[Scotley]

Seeing that he's in for a long haul and that he might be shoveling horse dung for months, Henry decides he better start enjoying the next five days. He's starts to pursue the food and drink in earnest after making sure Daniel understands he must have Henry up, reasonably sober and extremely presentable in time for afternoon tea tomorrow with Baroness Matilda Walking.

 

[Scotley]

Before he gets too deep in his cups, Henry remembers he should pen a note to his father letting him know that he has arrived safely and is settling in. He takes the time to thank him again for the sacrifices that have made this possible.

 

[J. Alexander]

Daniel awakens you at 11 am with a hot bath already drawn .. You have an hour and a half to prep sir as its about a 90 minute trip by carriage to your appointment

 

[Scotley]

Henry gets ready as best he can in his hungover state dressing in his classic conservative formal attire and gathering the sweets he bought as a gift. He'll have Daniel order a carriage while he eats a little something and drinks water and strong coffee. He'll pick up some fresh flowers along the way and try to arrive just slightly early.

 

[J. Alexander]

A carriage arrives promptly and Henry is taking along the Western Avenue of Noble Mansions until he is just past the last grand estate and into a smaller but no less affluent neighborhood. Neat steel gates are swung open by the gatekeeper and up the two coach wide carriage way Henry procedes until he reaches a large hexagon turn way directly in front of a large 4 story queen ann style home.
