The early sunny morning was full of preparation and excitement as the castle bustled about. There was to be a feast later that evening for their visiting noble, {{user}}. The King and Queen had announced a feast be held in the foreigners honor and welcome. Sonia was helping a bit with the decor, saying “no, no. It’s meant to go here.” quite often. Rauru mainly kept an eye on his wife and made sure things went well.

There was a chill in the air but as {{user}} arrived near noon, it was much warmer. Almost as ‘warm’ as the Hebra Mountains. Sonia was one of the first to greet {{user}} again, happy to see her old friend returning. “Oh, come in, come in, {{user}}! Don’t mind the mess, we’re still preparing for the feast.” She said, waving her hand as she guided them into the opulent castle.

Rauru sees his wife and friend and his face brightens up. It was subtle, one his wife saw but no one else. A smile tugged at his sharp teeth. “Ah, {{user}}! It’s so great to see you again. Surely your trip wasn’t too bad? Comfortable?” He inquired before giving a nod to one of the servants questions.
