Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 569477" data-attributes="member: 114">Trajan, meanwhile, receives an invitation from the Count to join the noblemen and ambassadors as they retire to the smoking room, for brandy and discussions of world affairs. As he makes his way after the others he feels a pat on his rump - glancing behind him he is astonished to notice the Countess, apparently deep in conversation with someone else but the only person who could -possibly- have touched him.“C’mon man” calls the Count, “Stop dallying. And bring your friend”Dala joins Trajan as they enter the smoking room, the sorcerer still looking a little bit glazed, and his attention wandering all over the place.During the various conversations Trajan learns that Baron Kagiro has lost some of his Companions while they were investigating something over the border in Morannon, and he is looking for replacements who might carry on the investigation. Would his adventuring company be interested? Arrangements are made for Kagiro’s warlord to see them later after the ball to discuss details.The Lythanian ambassador is able to pass on some of the latest news from Knightsbridge and their homeland. The Singharese ambassador, a short and podgy man with a stammer attempts to make conversation about trade treaties but starts sweating profusely every time he is asked about refugees from Singh. “There is no refugee p-p-problem, no p-p-p-problem at all” he stammers.Dala finds that his exotic codpiece draws unwanted attention from Baron Parry, and he decides that enough is enough and he ducks behind some heavy velvet drapes and casts an incantation to make the codpiece invisible, before arranging his remaining clothes decorously. Meanwhile, out in the main hall Anne-Marie finds herself the unwanted focus of attention for a drunken old man, clearly up from the Sword Coast and delighted to find another Swordcoaster for company. He persistently tries to arrange a dance with her, even though she points out time and time again that her dance card is now full (apart from the spot she has been reserving for Jordan, her date for the evening - but she hasn’t managed to get to see him yet, for some reason).</blockquote>
