Closed starter for @envenenna
Felix scowled at notice that had been handed to him. He was to attend a formal dinner within the Court. He knew what this meant, it wouldn't be the first time that his mother and father had attempted to match him to a suitor, after all.
He didn't have the option to say no to attending the dinner, however, only had the option to say no once the suitor had been met. He always saw the way they craved power, position, wealth. He wouldn't be just a stepping stone for their ambitions. He wanted someone who wanted him and wanted to share their dreams with him.
There was a strange feeling that rippled through the wood as he got himself dressed for the dinner, fixing his hair just right and putting on his jewelry and accessories. He'd learned long before that he would find himself in trouble if he didn't dress properly for the meetings, so as usual, he made sure his freckles were on display above crystalline blue eyes and his hair shone in the low light. The outfit he'd chosen that day was black, with silver stitching, which would be oddly appropriate once he found out that the Night Court had changed everything this time around.
When the time came, he made his way out of his chambers and swiftly went to the dining hall, the darkness starting to be more noticeable as he drew nearer, but he didn't quite know what it meant. He waited to be announced, and then stepped into the hall, bowing to his parents, the king and queen, and then straightened as his gaze moved to the suitor who was already in the room waiting for him.
There was an unfamiliar feeling within his chest when he spotted the other, and he found himself taking an involuntary step toward the man, something that was already telling of things being different. He bowed his head slightly. "Hello. I am Felix of the Seelie Court, it is a pleasure to meet you."
