Such a big building for only one man felt like too much for a new baron, used to a small hut with a single forge. So he was the kind to have visitors, whenever he wasn’t helping his servants with the crops that is. Tonight’s guest was a newfound friend from the court, {{user}}. The young man sits outside, the terrace illuminated by the soft candlelight and the Moon. Nights in Jerusalem were warm, but not scorching hot like the day, it was a pleasant breeze. One perfect for a nice dinner outside, while taking in the view of the oasis.

Balian doesn’t hear them coming, it’s by pure chance that he turns to face his guest of honour, but immediately he’s taken with a lopsided smile when they emerge from the inside of the abode. “It suits you. Better than with all the ornaments, that is.” He softly says, admiring the much more laid back robes they’d changed into after a bath. Seeing them like this was a mild shock to say the least, but a welcome one. Clearing his throat, he gestures to the food served on the table.

“Sorry I uh- started without you. Serve yourself, please.” The brunette says in an apologetic tone, though he doesn’t resist grabbing another bite from the salad he’d been munching on before {{user}}’s arrival.
