When the messenger came, Henrik and Zalania were the first to arrive down at the dining hall. Henrik now was dressed in a much finer array of clothing, as befitting the son of a king. His clothing, while possessing a rather utilitarian design that lacked the usual superfluous elements, was obviously made by a skilled tailor, using rich materials. Silk, lace,  and soft leather, all favoring shades of red. Fire colors, really; red, orange, yellow and white. The boots, designed for travel and combat, were now replaced by black shoes that were shined to a nearly mirror-like polish.  Gloves were omitted in favor of leaving his hands free, displaying that his nails were evenly cut and free of dirt; he cared about his personal hygiene. His hair was combed back, and though he did not need anything to keep it tied back, he wore a black bandanna on his forehead, with a small metal buckle of sorts over the forehead.<br/><br/>Zalania, however, comes sporting her leathers, cloak, and wore her weapons openly on her side. She was here to guard the Prince, and while she would undoubtedly end up enjoying the meal at some point, she was, first and foremost, a body guard. She spoke only rarely, and only then, straight to Henrik, usually in hushed whispers, or some sort of coded speech that didn't make any sense (save to other Bloody Raven's).<br/><br/>Going back to armaments, however... Henrik's sword is with him, but he carries it in its sheathe, in both of his hands. When the time came for dinner, he would leave his blade on the table, at wherever his seat may be. It would probably seem odd, maybe even some form of obscene, to the Theiri, but when looking at Henrik, one might imagine that this was simply Aserit custom.  Henrik, of course, loved following customs, but also realized the utilitarian value of this.
