I NEED JUST ONE MORE CONTESTANT FOR THE JOUSTS PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Ser Swithin immediately volunteers

A snack of dried shrimp sounds lovely! If you would have my company, I would be happy to join you in the corner to watch the goings on. There are quite a lot of attendees and it can be a bit overwhelming.

Swithin takes the shrimp with a smile and a bow of their head. "Thank you. Snacks are always needed and appreciated." He sits next to you. "What brings you to the ball?"

"I came primarily to make new friends. I also wish to meet Prince Dorian ( @but-a-licentious-prince ) and his companions. I first heard about the ball from them and knew I had to try to attend. I'm admittedly a bit shy, but am doing my best to be brave. We can do this." I nudge your shoulder with my own.

"Worry not Catherine. We need not speak of anything you do not wish to. But perhaps this will cheer you." Swithin reaches into his hair and pulls out the purple carnation that had been braided there. They turn it over to you with a smile.

I'll tell you a secret. The Baron made it appear from thin air! I know not how he did it, but it brought me a smile. I hope it does the same to you. Perhaps you could even offer it to someone to make them smile as well

"Careful with your eye dear! Are you alright?" Swithin touches your helmet in concern. "So long as you are, I am glad to have given you an idea of who to pass the flower to."

I'm glad you'll be alright. Please come back and tell me how things go with the flower!

welcome to the feast

Oh Stars above, grant me strength, as it would appear another kind of appetite has been aroused.

My dear Jester! Oh dear, oh dear. If the feast brings this kind of heat, I may perish before dessert.

we can't have that, now can we? don't worry, darling. i know mouth to mouth ♥︎

Swithin practically swoons. "My dear jester, I would be honored to receive mouth to mouth from you. I shall do my best to make it through the feast though."

today i think i shall see what topics the library contains. i do hope it has chemistry of some sort

Might I assist you? I do believe I have a decent understanding of what the library contains.

that would be much appreciated, thank you! i would be wandering aimlessly otherwise.

Of course! I know a short cut! *He pulls on an unlit torch, revealing an opening within the stone walls* is there anything in particular you’d like to find in the library? Or just perusing?

"Ah, Baron, if you're going to the library, might I join you? And you as well, Lady Catherine?" Swithin bows to Catherine. "Well met, I am Ser Swithin. I apologize for interrupting your trip to the library, but I would so love to join."
