Gerrard takes his leave of the table, shortly after the Aserits have left, and makes his way through the caste's side passages to meet the diplomatic party, though mentally he can only call it a war party. He watches carefully as the party approaches the side passage he is waiting in. Once the party is passing he steps out, though he is not hiding, the guards of the Aserit party can tell that he is merely there for a personal greeting.<br/><br/>"Greetings all, I wish to extend my personal welcome to out castle. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact me or one of my assistants here in the castle. I want to do what I can to foster good will in our negotiations."<br/><br/>Gerrard's eyes flicker across the party as he singles out Lenally, as he flashes a smile fit to charm a holy woman from her clothes at her.<br/><br/>"Princess Lenally, I would like to welcome you and express my pleasure in hosting you. I would gladly service any needs that you may have personally. I hope to make your stay one to remember, and perhaps repeat a few times over." His eyes match hers, though his eyes spend time wandering over her while the party had been approaching.
