a celebration such as this one was a good time to see old faces one left behind, especially for one as old as aeden was. truthfully most of his circle was compromised of mages for much of his life, he had done his best to make up for it on the later half of his century of age but he couldn't say he didn't miss his fellow mages at times.

seeing hectar was not a surprise but certainly a bright spot in the whole affair. "look what the tides have finally brought me." he greeted, pressing a daring kiss on his old professor's cheek, ignoring the party goers walking among them. "you don't look a day over 600, hectar... and here i thought i'd given you some gray hairs."

his hand rested on a shoulder, bright smile as he remembered late night lessons with the mage, hands guiding his own. a warm body next to him, kisses shared in his private chambers away from the other students. not that aeden tried to hide it particularly well, but he enjoyed the thrill of a private relationship (of a kind, anyway) with his favorite teacher. "how are things in solanis? still as stiff and stuck in the past as ever?"

Unlike most, especially those in his native Argonia, Yuzef felt exceedingly whelmed about his kingdom opening up to the greater Metia. So many business deals to be made! So much trade and exchange! The possibilities increased tenfold overnight.

Ahead of the colosseum event, Yuzef pushed for a conference composed entirely of high-ranking officials of each Metian council. A unified Metia was better than a lawless, unruly one, Yuzef thought, and he possessed more than enough initiative to make sure it happened.

Which meant he arrived very, very early, sitting along until finally he heard the door behind him open, signaling to his first guest.

"Hello!" says Yuzef, rushing from his seat to shake the other's hand. "Yuzef Lacon. Master of coin, Argonia. You are from... Bergia? Valtolia? I could not form a dossier of portraits of everyone, so my apologies for the lack of couth there..."

Alphaeus knew why he was here, surrounded by all these young royals and nobles at a social event being held ahead of the colosseum fights in Argonia. With him now being of prime marrying age, he needed to get married off as soon as possible — preferably to an Argonian according to his father.

Why couldn't he just... get to hang out? Like other guys his age did? This blew. He knew he needed to find a way out, at least so he could catch his breath and refill his social battery. Scurrying out of the first door he could find, he glanced at the gorgeous night sky, almost feeling as though he needed to wish on a star to magically change his circumstances...

And then he realized he was not alone out here.

"Oh, hello," he says to them, offering a friendly, if wary, smile. "I did not realize I was intruding on your space... I could go, if you'd like..."

"prince cedrik pryor." the lord of blacktyde greeted in the hall as nobles passed, voice deep and low. "am i correct?" he usually was, and the prince had not made himself scarce for better or worse.

"you seem very well connected i must say." he added, not one to dance around when it was unnecessary. and right now it was wholly unecessary to dance around, unless of course they were going to literally dance and ulysses had already took another prince dancing. may be best not to possibly offend anyone else. that said, it was far better for it to be thought he was wooing the royalty than discussing other matters.

"would you care for a walk along the gardens?" he asked, offering him a hand with a raise of his eyebrows. he would rather not discuss private matters with so many ears around.
