Lord Rune swept into the room with the exotically beautiful woman woman upon his arm. Although she looked more than slightly nervous, his gaze was bold and confident. He nodded in greeting to each person and greeted them each by name. His gaze stoped on Oleg, wondering how the man would react when he discovered the particular nature of the lady at his side.<br/><br/>"It is a pleasure to see you all here tonight! It is an honor to this household that you braced the weather to attend this little function." He raised his glass in toast to his guests. It was a very mixed crowd, but such diversity should make the evening very entertaining.<br/><br/>Inviting the guests into the dining room, a lavish meal had been prepared for them. Callie sat at his left while he left room for the alchemist on his right. Oleg was to sit next to Callie, then Thornrose, the Kaz, and so on around the table until everyone was seated.<br/><br/>"As most of you know, I am Lord Rune Blackthorn. Welcome to my home. I am on of the Lords of Stormhaven. By trade, I humbly help govern this city. By hobby, I like to explore the mysteries this world has to offer. Please, Let us go around the room and introduce ourselves before our meal begins."
