Ashan 28th, Arc 717
The time had finally come to announce the the wedding to the world and of course, in true style of his mother, it had to be done through a party. So the guests had been invited to the Northern Krome house to take part in festivities and a feast to celebrate the union of Krome and Andaris in the engagement of Xander Krome and Celeste Andaris. Xander had been forced into dressing well for the occasion, which resulted in the use of his formal attire. He was sure that soon Cleste would begin to force him to buy new expensive and formal clothes and so he took the chance now to avoid having to buy anything by using these. They were in the Venoran style and fitted well so he could not say why they were an issue but he was sure that the fashionable and more image conscious ladies in his life, his mother and Celeste would make sure he was always suitable.
So he stood in the main hall of his home and mingled with the guests, Celeste by his side as they accepted the congratulations and other pleasantries from those present. It was busy and Xander actually found himself spending more time worrying about them making a mess or causing damage that he and the household that worked under him would have to fix. Still, he met each and every guest with a smile and appropriate greeting, be it a shake of the hand, a bow or a kiss on the hand. He made sure to be correct in his actions now as he was sure he was being scrutinized, especially as he was marrying the heiress of Andaris.
So he continued doing his best to set a good example, keeping up a good appearance for all those around in order to protect the respect for the Andaris family and to try and regain some for Krome. It was still early in the night but he was sure that most of the guests must already have arrived and so with a nod to Badon he made it clear it was time for those int he Kitchen to start work on the shorter dishes that needed cooking. He was looking forward to the feast more than anything else and although he longed to go watch the servants cook he needed to be there. It was his duty and he was not going to neglect it and nor was he going to leave Celeste alone to fend off the hundreds of questions.
So, instead he remained by her side and assisted with the stream of questions they were being forced to answer. A small break came and Xander leaned in and whispered. "These nobles sure want to know a lot, they just don't stop asking questions." He jested of course and smiled at her as he turned to face the next noble face who had come to the party.
The smell of fresh food was soon making its way from the kitchen, although, Xander doubted many would notice as they were too engrossed in conversations or drinking. Most of them had likely not even noticed that Xander's parents were now also wandering around the room, the Baron and Baroness walking through the crowd in search of their son. The serving boy and Xander's father's man servant also wandered around with platters of drinks and occasional snacks to keep the guests going as the meal was prepared.
