Andy walked into the ball room in a mostly plain dress with some pink accents to it. She might not look as fancy as most people, but she'd recently been dubbed a knight of the eastern kingdom, and she walked with the pride and bearing of a lady knight. Well. That. And she walked with the pride and bearing of a Vicereine, but that's not the point. Underneath her dress she wore a pair of pants that were short enough not to be visible. And strapped to her hip was her sword that she only took off when she was sleeping. And even then she had it within arms reach. Her mask was a plain light pink one. At first she had thought that she might wear her helm, but then she'd realized that it would probably be much too stuffy to do so. And she was one for at least a little bit of comfort. Her gaze traveled across the ballroom until it landed on the other lady knight of the eastern kingdom and a smirk split her lips. Obviously the other woman had been forced into something a little less conventional, but she had to admit that Cori looked absolutely amazing. And she was a little bit jealous of the armor accents that she hadn't even considered. Oh well. She strode across the room to the red head and offered her a smile. "Viking," she said, her tone teasing. She liked the other woman and could see her as a potential friend, but she had no idea if Cori might see the same in her.

Duncan Payne was a king; and everything about him screamed royalty. Of all the royals in the room he probably looked the most like one. He wore a red tunic embroidered with gold and black silk pants. His boots were of the finest quality leather, and had actually been made for just this occasion. Arrogant as he was, he even wore his less elaborate crown. Maybe he wasn't supposed to give away his identity, but he didn't like for other people to not know who he was; at least in title. His gaze traveled across the room, and he spotted several people who looked like nobles, but not many of them actually looked the part of royalty. His gaze lingered on the two women at the far end of the room for a moment or two. Those two he might consider royalty; though he didn't know any queen that might wear a dress quite like the one the woman who was dressed as a raven might. He shook his head and continued to look around the room until he spotted his son, whom he strode over to and clapped on the shoulder. The barely visible wince that Tadgh gave was enough to make a smile curve his own lips. In public he would never treat him as anything than his son and prince, but he still couldn't help but do things that made the young man squirm.

The Duke of Avlora walked into the ball room, a bit uncomfortable with how under dressed he seemed to be. He had a plain; but somewhat dressy outfit on. A shirt, britches, and boots of rather mediocre quality. It wasn't that he couldn't afford something nicer. He was a duke after all. But. He preferred not to spend money on clothes. He had made the exception for Lady Aislin, giving her the money for whatever gown she might wish to buy for the evening. He had been invited; mostly based on him being a knight and a Duke, and had insisted that Lady Aislin come with him. Partly because he wasn't about to suffer through this night alone, and partly because they were dating now? He shook his head at the thought and let his gaze trail over the crowd. It landed, briefly, on the two women at the end of the room, whom he could only assume were the twin queens of the Southern and Northern kingdoms. He'd met Queen Morgan on a few different occasions, and she'd been more pleasant to him than he'd heard she was to most people. Oh, she'd tried to be rude at first, but that was because he was a man more than anything else. But he'd been nothing but polite and respectful to her, and eventually she'd come around. He found that, of anyone at court, he rather liked her prickly personality the most. Well; he liked Lady Abi's bubbly personality too, but that's not the point. He wandered over towards the rows of empty tables and picked up a mug of ale that he took a sip of before turning back towards the crowd. It seemed to him like there wasn't much fun going on here, and that made him frown. Rather than join everyone else in being all stoic and non-fun-having-y he strode over to the woman he assumed was Lady Abaigael. He dropped his torso in a bow to the woman and then straightened, holding his hand out hopefully. "May I have a dance," he asked with his best charming half grin.

Al entered the ballroom of the southern kingdom's palace. He'd recently gotten his banishment to Sunil lifted, and his little sister had insisted that he should come to the wedding, masquerade, and knight games. Probably because she wanted to spend time with him or something silly like that. Typically he wasn't one for these sorts of things, but because Ranait had asked him to come; he had. And now he felt really out of place as he walked into the ball room. Damn; how was it that he was the shortest man in this place? Ugh. He shook his head and turned his attention to glancing around the room in hopes of spotting his little sister. He didn't see her familiar head anywhere within the crowd, but then he spotted one that was so similar to hers it made him do a double take. But there was no way Ranait would show up to an event like this dressed in something so...not extravagant. A frown furrowed his brows, and he tried to shrug off the odd feeling that he got from looking at the girl in the maroon dress. He forced his attention elsewhere in the room, but really found that no one of interest to him was in there yet.

Renny entered the ball room, looking for all the world like a young woman rather than the sixteen year old girl that she was. Her blue dress dipped low in the back, showed a little bit of what cleavage she had and hugged her slight curves. A small blue mask covered her eyes and she found that tonight she actually felt like a duchess. She and Alpin had moved to Carnaghan about a week ago, but had been invited for the marriage of Moira's sister and the celebrations there after. She had dressed and entered separately from her husband; with hopes of surprising him whenever he finally arrived. Not that she really expected much of a reaction from him; with his whole insistence that she looked beautiful in whatever she wore, and best in his shirt. A giggle escaped her at those thoughts, but she merely shook her head and strode across the ball room to the woman wearing a raven's dress. She'd been friends with Moira for far too long to not be able to pick her out. "You look stunning," she said with awe in her tone as she approached the queen. It had only been a week or so since she'd last seen the woman, but she felt like it had been an entire lifetime.

Aislin had walkedbinto the ballroom feeling a bit awkward. She has met several faces in the room as a much more younger child than she was now. Like Nic, she didn't want to spend to much money on a dress that she felt was only going to be worn a few times. Maybe she will have to figure out a few more times to wear the threads that she was currently. An Emerald green gown drapped over her as she stood at the entrance of the room. Layered with black gemstones pieces in the front in a diamond shape design. The dress showed a bit of skin to be honest. Most of her back and a bit of her chest were seen. Needless to say, she wasn't trying to out shine the Queens on their wedding day. She wore a green mask which tied around her head in a gentle bow covered in sparkles and layered in feathers on the right of the mask, covered her eyes. She hadn't shone her gown to her lord who was now her court, at the estate for her laddies of the estate feared it to be bad luck to show him. Or maybe a bit of fun to see if he could spot his maiden hidden behind such a mask. She walked in slowly and spotted him instantly with Lady Abu leaving the Queen to her lonesome and figured she would make her presence known to her before her court. Once she got close enough to she would curtsey and pull her mask off just enough to reveal her identity. "Mi'Lady congratulations on your most joyous day." She told her with a sincere smile before placing her mask back on. She wondered how long it would take him to find him. After she had already spotted him right when she walked in.

Post by Treise O’Seighin on Jul 26, 2014 1:30:04 GMT
While Treise wasn’t usually all that girly she did like to dress up every once in awhile and go to masquerades and such like this. She loved to have fun, and what was more fun than a masquerade? People dancing and joking…especially after people got drunk and started to dance. It was actually quite amusing. She also liked social events in general; she liked to talk to people and mess around and such. So, when she entered the ballroom clad in her mostly sheer dress and white mask she was already grinning and rather happy. As she entered she would look around for a moment, trying to pick out if she could recognize anybody; obviously the two rather tall twins at the front of the room were the Southern and Northern Queens, but she wasn’t quite sure about anybody else. There were two men leaning against a wall that seemed decidedly Eastern, though she couldn’t place the other two that were with them. She would shrug, though, not quite caring much about it at this point in the evening and would drift happily into the room, approaching a table where glasses of mead and such had been placed. She would grab one and delicately sip at the drink, watching happily as a man approaching a seemingly pretty lady and asked her to dance.

Alpin entered the room feeling just a tad bit uncomfortable; he was used to having Renny at his side now, and he was now faced with the task of finding his beautiful wife amidst all of these strangers in masks. It was definitely going to be an interesting night. He was smiling as he entered, though, dressed in his best and groom immaculately, besides his shaggy hair that he’d left long upon his wife’s request. After the doors closed behind him he would cast his gaze around the area, immediately settling his gaze on a petite woman in a red dress. He would have bet anything that the woman was Renny, but something was a bit off about her. He hadn’t expected his wife to be drinking already, and he was rather shocked at what she was wearing. It didn’t look anything at all like what he thought his wife might wear. He would swallow thickly, his gaze trained on the woman as he grew more uncertain, forcing his gaze away from her after awhile in order to continue to shift his gaze around the room. When he did he recognized a couple of people here and there, and eventually his gaze would land on a petite woman in a blue dress, that exposed her back and looked much more expensive that what the woman in red had been wearing. Though, as he shifted his gaze between the woman in red and the woman in blue he was a tad flabbergasted; both of them had the same frame as his wife, and if it hadn’t been for the clothing it would have been difficult to pick out which one he was going to guess as his wife. After a moment of glancing between them he would shake his head sharply before gliding quietly closer to who he assumed was his wife.

Post by Teague Hallows on Jul 26, 2014 3:39:17 GMT
Upon walking in, in a long coat with a sash around his body; he noticed he was the only one to wear a sash. He felt a little more needed with it on. Or this was just a facade he was trying to make. Teague didn't like being in crowded places; in reality it made him notice each and every person. His hypersensitivity made his eyes flash around noticing each person. If he had met them he knew the difference even with their masks on. His eyes actually hit Moira and Morgan right away as he entered. His eyes widened at both of the Queens attires. He noted Abi as well; he enjoyed how she moved. The moment his eyes lay to the walls he noted the Easterners. His heart pounded happily in his chest as Teague had been caught in a jail cell for nearly 2 weeks. Seeing another from the East had done him good. Teague had been released the night prior after Regan left for the Kingdom from her brother in law's estate. His brother had come, Killian, but he was not to attend the masquerade as he had brought his children and wife; in which because of this his sister in law dressed him and shipped him out to represent the Hallows. However he wasn't there to just do that. He had practically pestered his sister in law to let him go and surprise Regan. To do something to thank her for keeping him company whenever she could get away from her sister and niece to get him a wash basin and some books. She kept him as sane as he could ever be.
So the moment his eyes rested on her form he moved towards her. He moved over to her, possibly too eager but still moved nonetheless. His eyes were wide for a second. Not wide as they had been for Moira's dress; but a wide that insisted he had seen no one as pretty. Her dress made him stare for a moment too. It was really nice on her.. Uhm Ok Teague look back up at the pretty lady's face. "You are the most stunning.." He'd say out loud and then lean in towards her and quietly whisper. "Just don't tell that one to the three Queens that grace us."

Cliona entered the ballroom in which she so remembered. Her purple dress had drawn downward towards the floor and out in a bit of length behind her. Following her much like a decorated tail at the end. Her back was open to view, the scares in which she had gotten from her father many times over and over again. She was nervous, though she knew that all in the room also knew what cruel and unjust King her father had become. Not that she would ever tell anyone of his doings, but either way, they all knew one way or another. She would walk through the room and watch the crows curtsey and bow before her. She sighed and walked up to her cousin with a smile tugging her lips and gave her a curtsey herself.
"Cousin, congratulations on your wedding, she is simply beautiful." She told her honestly. She didn't care whom loved whom or how. Love was love and she... Well, loved it. It was a trait that she had even with the beatings from her father. With that aside, she shook her head and removed the thought from her mind so she wouldn't spoil her cousins wedding.

Post by Cinaed Frighil on Jul 26, 2014 5:01:35 GMT
Cinaed kept to wandering around and watching the interactions. His psychological brain was intrigued by the English gruff man but he kept his distance because he also noted he was the scrawniest of them all.. And he was even an Eastern man. He noticed something though; his sister's attention to the King Connall and another giant man from the Eastern Kingdom. He considered it to be Lorcan. Cinaed smiled a little under his mask and moved towards Cori as another woman went to her quicker. Upon getting to the women he heard her call his sister 'Viking'. The name teased a smile out from under his mask again. Viking. He wondered if they even knew that she really was a Viking? She definitely looked the part. Then he acknowledged the woman to be the new lady knight that seconded to Cori. "Oh so there are more than one." He'd point to the sword. Smiling kindly. "I am gathering you're not one for dancing either? Though don't let my sister fool anyone. She is a good dancer." He could feel Cori shoot daggers. Their eye colour was the only thing these two siblings shared. So he felt like his eyes were glaring at him. It was an odd sensation in the least.

Post by Llewella Naess on Jul 26, 2014 18:08:21 GMT
Llewella waltzed in calmly with her hands at her side and her petite form straight and ready to look like the Queen she was. She knew the three other queens in the ballroom were much taller than her in which ignited the need to act taller herself. She wore a beautifully layered rustic dress with her hair tied like a Nord's in messily braided pigtails that sat on her chest. Over her head and against her shoulders and back laid a black wolf pelt to represent her family heritage in which her maiden surname (Blevins) meant wolfcub. The pelt was hunted and skinned by her husband so Llewella wore it with the highest of pride. Along her face were blue hunting runes that had been painted bringing out her doe-like eyes; a doe in wolf's clothing? Those who would not know Llewella personally would say so.
She shyly stood by the entrance still showing as much strength as she could alone without her husband's presence. She watched the happenings and even smiled towards the twin queens of the Irish North and South. It had been quite a long time since she saw either woman. She had still been a princess. However her eyes practically stabbed King Duncan in the back in annoyance. He reminded her of her father King Idris. The air around him suffocated her. She hoped her husband would hurry up and finish getting ready after their 'satisfying' rest after their journey. She placed her hand on her slightly protruded stomach to hope her child a calm night.

Airikir grumbled softly as he finished getting ready, slinging a bear’s head cloak across his shoulders and over his head. He was wearing his classic eye-makeup, though he had donned more ceremonious garb than he usually would have; solid gold medallions slung about his hips and leather covering most of his stomach and wrists. He had a fierce look about him that was only intensified by his irritation. He had not wanted to get out of bed, but his wife had insisted. That woman was his only weakness. If it hadn’t been for her they probably would never have left Wales in the first place, but he knew that the wedding and masquerade would make her happy, and there was no way that he would deny her something that would make her happy.
As he strode down the hall towards the ballroom he knew he was running a tad late, though he wasn’t all that concerned about it. Let somebody say something to him about his tardiness. When he reached the doors to the ballroom he wouldn’t hesitate at all, flinging open the doors and striding in. The instant his eyes hit the inside of the room he would grimace, his head cocking just slightly to the side as his nose wrinkles, though more as if he was snarling than as if he was disgusted. What the hell was this? Truthfully, he hadn’t quite known what a masquerade was, and as he caught sight of people in masks and such he couldn’t help but think that this would be a terrible waste of time. A low grumble would fall from his lips as he shakes his head before immediately swinging his gaze around until he found his wife. When the monstrously large man finally caught sight of her he would immediately move towards her, though he kept his head held high and his shoulders squared; the King of Wales wouldn’t be caught doing anything else…or looking any less intimidating than he did now.

Post by Quinlan O'Hare on Jul 26, 2014 22:02:52 GMT
Quinlan wandered around the area that Abi tended to walk. Though he would often settle near Morgan. Moira's dress had caught the young man's eyes a couple of times, when she'd look at him. Well his eyes would just flutter away like nothing of the sort had happened. He had met Moira a few times and had the care to talk to her. He would be lying if he didn't like her almost as much as Morgan or Abi. Morgan and Moira had this air about them. It settled Quinlan seeing the sisters beside each other. He would also be lying if he didn't notice the glance and realizations that the Eastern King gave Moira. A smirk played on the Southern Captain. Why drink when you can sober the woman's appearance? Or maybe he didn't know yet? Quinlan had heard the Eastern King wasn't one for Audiences though. So it was possible that news didn't travel to his ear. Moving around slowly and kind of on edge since he hated banquets; his eyes caught onto the two Lady Knights from the Eastern Kingdoms. His eyebrows sharply rose under his mask. That was an interesting sight; he hoped in the Tourney that he could spar with one of them; or both. He didn't put the two women down in the least bit for their strength. Both looked like they could take down a bear or five. Two Queens? Two Lady Knights? Why not.
But his neck hairs stood on end when Cador came in with the glance he gave Moira. Quinlan surely gave Moira a good look as said beforehand. But the way Cador looked; well it was hungry. Quinlan just was enjoying the beauty she held even in such a risky garb. When a young lady moved to the Northern Commander though his eyes caught on to the burn marks her dress allowed to peak out. He knew exactly where those came from. As he had held some on his body as well. A black smith? Had the Commander let her come to be their smith during the tourney.
Quinlan would move towards Morgan after inspecting the crowds. Looking directly in Moira's face to exchange smiles. He'd look to Morgan right after and then stand behind her like a good puppy. Flinching only when a very, very tall and big man he'd consider the King of Wales slam open both doors. He tensed but then relaxed when the man just moved to the shortest woman in the entire room.

Morgan smiled when she saw her sister. Because, let's be honest, she'd recognize Moira anywhere and in anything. Truth be told, they'd probably gone to a few masquerades before as children. However, she was a bit shocked to see what Moira was wearing, but it was a brief expression. Especially when she realized that it was probably Moira's servants who had put her in the dress, considering that there was supposed to be a single king in the mix tonight. When Moira asked if she was sure this was a good idea and commented about Abi possibly getting confused she'd laugh. "I think it's a wonderful idea, and I'm sure she won't get too confused," she'd responded. And then Moira commented on the wedding and she positively beamed. "Thank you. I'm afraid I didn't have much of a hand in it, though. Abi and Lady Alana collaborated on the majority of it," she said with a soft laugh. Honestly, though, she couldn't remember a time when she'd been this happy.
Her attention flicked to the steadily crowing crowd and she smiled faintly, rather pleased with the turn out. When Lady Aislin and her cousin both addressed her she frowned slightly. Not that she hadn't expected people to recognize her, but the point of a masquerade was to keep one's identity hidden until the unmasking at midnight. "Ladies," was all she said to them. Then she turned back to her sister. "If you'll excuse me," she said before moving to walk off. She found that she was in the mood to dance, and since no one was asking her, she figured she'd go ask someone herself. Her gaze drifted around the room before it landed on Quinlan as the man wandered back over towards her and Moira. His size might intimidate most people, but she knew that deep down he was really a big teddy bear. And often times she felt bad for the way her late husband had manipulated the poor man. However, there wasn't anything that could be done about it. The man was dead now, and she didn't have the power to change the past. She offered the man a smile before she strode over to him. "Quinlan," she said formally. "Dance with me," she said, and it sounded like a mix of a question and a command as she held her hand out to him. There was very little doubt in her that he would deny the "request."
