"In the old days, they did," Prince Finn says, "But today, they find husbands by becoming little ice shelters during blizzards.  They're warm and hospitable inside, and the man sleeps, then wakes up later with a pretty wife beside him.  Or, so I am told.  I have not seen it myself, but I shall, some day."

At this, Moki silently pouts to herself.

Hyngwar listens passively to the man, saying nothing, save her expression changing to surprise whenever the constructs are mentioned. By that time, the carriages roll up to the entrance of the castle.

The entourage steps off, following Danice to the entrance. Moki leads the troupe, carrying the banner of the royal family of Frossenbjan. Arlmar has a few words in his own tongue with the guards, and they remain behind, taking up various positions outside. Everyone shuffles into position to make their formal entrance---Moki first, then Prince Finn, who is flanked by Arlmar and Hyngwar, and Gustav trails behind.

With Finn right behind her, Moki marches right up to the two towering guards, and clears her throat.

"Hail and greetings! I represent His Royal Highness Prince Finn Einarsson of the house of Ritterkald, son of King Einar the Just and Queen Glitrende the Pure.  We have come bidden by the goodly governor Ryce Benko to attend the gathering herein."

She reaches into her tunic and pulls out the letter of invitation, holding it up for the guards to inspect.
