After wondering around the park for a while, Yevas starts to get bored. His natural curiosity having got the better of him, he starts to circulate and listen. While he expects that almost all of the conversation will be about the up and coming choosing, he is hoping to pick up a juicy rumour or two.

The crowds are some of the biggest you have ever seen. The green way is full of people of all races and the games of chance, food vendors, and merchants tents abound. Everyone is decked out in there best and rumors abound.
There is a designated area for the applicants in which large pavillons have been set filled with beds, food, and a variety of entertainments. A simple blue rope segerates the area from the rest of the party.

[sblock]the current rumor is that the youngest daughter of the Duke of Southfall is distributing her charms freely tonight to those she finds interesting[/sblock]

Declan
Declan enjoyed his stroll through the crowd of people on the park promenades, while munching on corn first, then a savoury pancake filled with a delightful sauce. Surely here is the cream of the kingdom! Such glamourous women and wealthy, intelligent looking men. Despite his pretensions and aspirations to appear cultured and worldly in the eyes of others, Declan was still a gauche lad of 17. His subtle glances at the various bodices and shapely legs on display were almost outright stares to most who threw a glance his way.
After a few minutes of pleasant wandering, the priest came to a roped off section that was surely the holding area for interviewees. Presentation of his letter from the Grand Duke and a letter of reference from his father granted him entry readily enough. Spying a small stage nearby with actors upon it, Declan headed towards it. At the back of the standing-only audience he leant across to the unaccompanied young lady next to him and commented with an intent to impress, "This must be one of the better productions of Dryzith's works, don't you think? I wonder what the old playwright would think were he watching... You see, often modern directors seem so very keen to put their own spin on a master's work - as though they could not write a better play but seek to build on the work of others."

Declan,
In reply to his comment, the young lady replies "yes i do find the play entertaining but after so many showings the old goats plays do get boring". Then she lifts her hands up to his mouth where she removes a bit of pancake and with a mischevious look licks her fingers 'Why dont we go take a stroll so we can talk and perhaps find a nice place to sit"..Then she promptly takes the young priests hand and begins to walk away, the press of her body close to the priests.

Declan
Declan had been about to launch into a spirited defence of the old masters' works when he was taken aback by the young lady's actions. Towed along unresisting for a moment, the young man was stunned by how quickly he had lost the initiative, and was suddenly grateful for the looseness of his priestly robes.
Clearing his throat, a little nervously to his own ears, he replied "Of course, my lady. I would only be too glad to get to know you better. I am Declan, of Riverbend. Might I know your name?" He took advantage of the time before her reply to quickly appraise the curves of her waist, hips and legs from behind.

"My name is Mirandia" the lith young girl replies and soon Declan finds himself on a divan with the pretty young girl pressed against his side while they sample various cheeses and fruit"

Vanessa continues to sashay gracefully through the crowds, stopping here and there to look at particularly interesting goods for sale, or to sample a bite of this or that delicacy. She keeps her eyes open, though...one never knew where pickpockets or thugs might make an appearance.
Yevas considers trying to find Southfall's daughter and trying his luck. However, after a few minutes reflection he considers that now may not be the right time to get involved in scandal. Likewise, its not really the time to get drunk.
Instead Yevas strolls over to the fenced off area and, having established his bona fide, checks out the entertainment. He finally finds a rather good satire, which he sits and watches. Nursing the one drink he is allowing himself.

Well, I am most pleased to make your acquaintance Mirandia." Declan replies with a smile before sitting down.
"I have never been much of a cheese connoisseur myself. I find the hours afterwards rather disagreeable. Yet still, some of these have the most amazing flavours. Do you know their names, or the origins of this fine food? I have heard that the Dwarves keep spiders underground as we do cows above ground - and they milk them! Really, I would pay a good deal to see that, though I don't think I could stomach the cheese after seeing its origins.
Declan prattles on (and back and forth) at some length, discussing nothing of consequence until a break in the conversation allows him to slip in "Have you an idea of what is to come, Mirandia? How will the evening proceed? Who will be interviewing me? I dislike not knowing the plans of others when they involve myself."
