"Please madam, you may just call me Adelhard. No need to spoil me with honorifics. I may be titled noble, but I'm merely a guest here, so any chair will do, so long as it isn't sabotaged." He chuckles. "I must say I'm very flattered you are so willing to lend me access to your home at an inconvenient time. Truly Marcus was not jesting when he said you all are a cordial group." Adelaide takes a couple steps to the left where he finds a large picture of the entirety of the Ibrahim house. Adelhard's jaw drops for a moment at the sheer size.

"Quite a large group at that, and with such diversity. No wonder Lucida has such a colorful personality and appearance. The whole family is full of individuals. Judging from this photograph there isn't a single conformist in the bunch. That madam is an outstanding quality I find vastly overlooked these days. Too many people at gatherings and balls I've attended, scoff at such things. Finding that only strict adherence to social norms in appearance and courtesies to be worthy of note. Narrow minded I say." Adelhard returns his attention back to Regina.

"It is refreshing to see such a unique house. I prefer the company of those who aren't numbed by the privileges and expectations of nobility. Like Marcus. This man is treated like a king and a hero in Zahmeria, yet he acts no different than a lovable rabble rouser in a local tavern." Adelhard gestures to Marcus, who is in the middle of removing his right boot. After pulling it off, he turns it upside down and a tiny pebble plops to the floor.

"There you are you bastard." He mutters. "Ain't no damn hitchhiking with me!" He opens the door a singles the pebble out into the street. He turns around to see Adelhard focusing the room's attention on him. "What?"

"My point proven. After a few years, listening to dignitaries and their house members engage vacuumous conversation and drink wine with their fingers extended, becomes stale and ultimately tiresome. Then there's Lucida. Talking with her once was enough to draw my undivided attention. My first impression of her, was that she is humble, kind, polite, but a tad shy. I've also been informed that she's very intelligent as well. All this makes her a hard person to forget. So I decided to stop by and see if she'd indulge me a bit, as well as introduce me to the rest of her household." Adelhard smiles to both Regina and Aurum.
