Possible council changes. Now that is something that Yevas is definitely interested in. He will listen intently, while trying to appear to be interested in something else entirely.
As the various party members start to go about their own tasks, a crier calls out stating that all applicants are to assemble at the main stage in 5 minutes for the first cerimonal toast to their new estate.
Reluctantly, Henry abandons the performance he was watching and heads for the main stage. He runs a hand through his hair and straitens his clothes yet again as he gets close.
In his post-coital fugue state Declan had been idly watching a troupe of Dwarven acrobats and didn't hear the call to assemble. Only when the audience began to filter off in the same direction did he notice something was up, hurrying after the last of the crowd as they headed towards the main stage.
The crowd has gathered in anticipation of the official first toast to the new estate of the applicants "members of the royal household" several large casks are readibly seen and servants are passing out glass goblets of a dark red wine.
'Long live the Vasa Dynasty" and the toastmaster takes a sip. The applicants do the same. A second toast is offered from the same casks "Health and Well being to the Vasa Houshold" and the glassess are emptied.
The man moves himself from the stage and is replaced by a older woman. New casks of a pale rose wine are distributed and once again a toast offered. ""Fortune favor us all"..
How does your character interatct during the toasts and what does he do.
Henry raises his glass and repeats the toast in his powerful bardic trained voice then downs the wine. The second round he is just as eager, but as the additional casks are brought out he begins to worry just a bit. How many toasts will there be he wonders to himself. He speaks just as loudly on the third toast but he looks to those around him to see if everyone is downing their glass each time. By the third glass of wine is consumed his fair cheeks are starting to show the first hint of a flush.
