WHEN || March 4th, afternoon | Backdated
HOW || Actionspam, don't sweat tag order!

Upon actually reaching the castle, the Knights had been disappointed to find that Valentin actually wasn't even there. However, his supporters informed them that he returning shortly, and that they were free to quarter inside the castle for the time being. Much smaller than the Knight's castle, but still large in its own right, the Slovechnian royal home has stood as nothing but a historical monument since the royal family was overthrown decades ago. Now, however, Valentin has reclaimed it as his own ancestral home while he makes his bid for re-establishing the monarchy. It's hardly a welcoming locale, however. The great halls are lined with so many weapons that if you walk too close to them, you're bound to get pricked. Many of the rooms have been declared off limits to guests and are marked off with cordons.

It's a week from their arrival that Valentin himself returns and agrees to meet with them in the royal receiving room. They're gathered in there by guards, and after a delay, a loud trumpet blares, and someone announces "His Royal Highness, Prince Valentin Milosovici of Slovechnia", at which point he struts in, wearing a white decorative military style jacket with a mini-cape attacked to the largely padded shoulders. He draws off his gloves, casting a rakish smile across the receiving party as he shakes the hair out of his eyes. He's young, probably in his mid 20s, but he seems to radiate a great deal of personality. It's not, however, the staid presence that would seem to befit a would-be King, as he saunters past them towards the table set at the side of the room.

"I apologize for the wait you have had," he says, with his thick Eastern European accent. "My people have had need of me." Somehow the way he says it makes it sound suspiciously like 'my public."

Koraith and Tia both offer him polite inclines of the head and greetings, as Fred stations himself by the door, across from the other guard there.

Oh, don't worry. We'll be checking in frequently. [There's an undercurrent of steel in her voice that makes it quite clear what she means, and it obviously unnerves Valentin, who can only hold her gaze for a few moments before breaking off. Smirking to herself, she moves towards the doors.] Thank you for your time.

Great! [Andie is pretty oblivious to the ominous political undertones, so from her point of view, they just made a deal to be allies and all of the slaves will be freed. Yay! She heads towards the doors too, keeping her pace to a fairly human one, then turns around and waves at Valentin.] Nice meeting you!

[Riddick waits where he is while the others file out of the room, making sure that Tia, Andie and Koraith are out of the door before he moves out from the corner where he had been standing. His eyes remained on Valentin while he waited, then as Fred crosses to exit he casually walks to the table that had held the drinks, picking up a peach from a tray and taking a big bite. He salutes Valentin with the fruit, turning to walk out of the room last.]
