Robin said nothing as well, knowing he felt out of place and out of style. Compared to the more impressive (yet slightly more intimidating) cousin and therefore Brother to the King, the Mercenary felt inadequate already. ”I’d have changed if I bloody knew what sort of fashion They’d be wearing.. But they don’t even have clothes my size yet!” he thought as he watched another approaching carriage.

Inside said carriage Sera listened to her sister’s rage. “I know, I wish I had a say in who I’d marry too. But apparently the Young King is still in mourning and not in a marrying mood. So I will settle with Lord Navarre if I must. But that doesn’t mean I can’t make sure he knows who he’s marrying.” She said in reassurance, “And as I recall this ‘Bastard’ is a cunning warrior. One of questionable reputation as he sold his services left and right throughout the end of the feud before the Young King discovered him.”

The carriage stopped. “Dry your eyes sister. We have onlookers outside the carriage.” She says as she prepared to exit when the door opened.

Robin observed as Countess Sera Lillian Hawkhall was the first to emerge. She approached calmly as she eyed the men in front of her, and refrained from laughing at the Soon to Be Earl’s lack of formal wear, but the armor would give him some points for being honest, as she was sure any other clothing would accidentally mistake him for servant.

But she paid Robin no mind on his fashion sense, and instead looked to the one eyed twin of the King and curtsied. “My Lord, it is an honor to meet you face to face. My greetings are also extended to the Lord of the Manor as well.” She says this as she turned and curtsied to Robin, who surprisingly bowed back in return.

Serve a few lords and you do pick up on how some of their manners work. “I bid you and your sister welcome milady.” Robin replied as he turned to bow towards Kezia, and nearly froze at the sight of her beauty. He ensured he’d bow and then straighten his back in his standing. “I humbly bid you welcome Lady Kezia.”
