OOC: I do not mind at all.

OOC: I'd also like to get Dora' out of Newtdom before I crown Anna. I'll have her leave early...but not by too much.

Barbarossa had watched in wonder at the proposal, and Dora's acceptance. He couldn't help but smile quietly. He stayed up later into the night, watching the stars pass overhead from the balcony

OOC: Okay, I'll reply in a minute or so...I have to finish something first.

Rebecca was still amazed at her cousins decision even after she returned to her home in Winchester. She was not only amazed by astounded. It was close to 3 a.m. And she knew she had another early day. She thoughtSo much work in these diplomatic missions. Atleast I met someone though.

Barbarossa sat on the balcony now, his eyes picking up everything that moved from where he was. Nothing really escaped him

I came to see what would happen... and found someone nice in the process

The night came and went, as did the changing of the guard. It was 9 a.m., Rebecca arrived in a royal limousine. She was wearing a simple sundress, it is to be a day off, hopefully she had thought. She waited in the dining room with several of her cousins. Infact some of the princesses, who just arrived from college and boarding school, were waiting with her.

Dora' had been up early and started on some sort of work or other...work was never done...She'd heard the trumpets for the changing of the guard, but it didn't really register...had it been the changing of the guard at the Valshanth, it would have, but not here...not yet. She continued to work, sitting on the balcony.

Barbarossa, having slept little the previous night for reasons best known to himself, walked into the dining room, a letter in his hand, which he was reading very carefully

~Dining Room~

The four young women stopped their giggling and looked up when Barbarossa entered. Rebecca smiled and said "Hello, how are you this morning? These are my cousins, the princesses of Newtdom."

~Guest Rooms~
Newt had decided earlier in the morning that he would visit Dora'. He had already gone for his morning run. He wore khaki pants, an opened white oxford shirt and a blue blazer, along with his favorite pair of italian loafers. He walked down the hall, confidently, and upon reaching Dora's room knocked on the door.

Dora' heard the knock and made a guesture with her hand, telekinetically opening the door. "Yes?"

Newt smiled "Hello to you too, darling." He briefly laughed "How are you this morning?"

Dora' glances at Zotreth's timekeeper. "I didn't realize it was that late." She stood and shifted her work to a nearby table. "Good morning."

He grinned "Good morning, and how are you?"

That's the second time he asked that...is this some human ritual?

"I am doing well. And you?"

He nodded "Sorry if I repeated myself, I haven't been paying much attention to what I have said thus far today. I am doing fine."

"What has been planned for today?"

"Well, to be honest we have yet to really decide. There are plenty of options though."

"Fair enough. I spoke with my sister last night. She is to be crowned sooner than we had originally thought. You and your family are invited to attend, should you so desire."

Newt nodded, "Thank you, I am sure many of us will attend. Wish her my congratulations in advance the next time you speak to her."

"That will be soon...I leave either tonight or tomorrow morning to help with the final preparations."

Newt's smile faded a bit "Oh, so soon. Well we shall have to make the best of our final day together for a while I suppose."

"If you come, you'll see me again in four or five days at most. If duties require that you remain here...I could be gone up to a month."

He nodded "Chances are, I shall be there."

She nods. "In any event, it is late. We should be heading down."

"Indeed, I believe my sisters have arrived from school. They will be incredibly happy to meet you."

She nods. "They have been informed that you have already made your choice?"

Newt smiled and nodded "Yes, they were informed late last night when they arrived."

"Good. That will make that somewhat easier."

He grinned "They are young, it would be easy regardless. Let me escort you down."

She nods and takes his arm.

They walked down the hall towards the stairs, and he quickly moved down them gracefully with Dora' at her side. They walked through the halls and entered into the Grand Dining Room where guests were gathering. He smiled at his sisters who had just arrived, and waved them over.

The two beautiful young women walked towards their older brother. Newt grinned and hugged both of the two girls and then introduced them to who would essentially be the newest member of the family. He said "Margaret, Emily I have someone to introduce you too. This is Dora'nes d' Maril, my fiancee"

Dora' gives them a graceful dip of the head. "Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro."

The two young girls looked at each other. They were speechless, but turned their heads and curtsied. Margaret spoked first "It is a pleasure to meet you." Emily nodded her head in agreement.

"And it is a pleasure to meet both of you."

They both smiled, and Emily said "Daddy should be in soon Newt, we should take our seats." Emily being the youngest child still acted in such a manner.

Newt smiled and said "Okay then, everyone please take your seats." He helped Dora' into her chair, and took his seat to her right.

The Emperor entered, and waved for everyone to remain seated. He grinned "No reason to make you stand so early in the morning. We are blessed to have such a beautiful day, how do you wish to spend it?"

Emily spoke up first "Daddy, how about something fun. Lets go to Norton."

The Emperor nodded and looked around the room, "Does that sound good for everyone? To those who do not know, Norton is an ancient castle on the Bay of Newtdom. It is where we vacation."

Newt smiled and looked at Dora, then said "It should be a great deal of fun."

She nods. "It sounds like a good idea."

Newt smiled and turned his head to the Emperor "We should get the helicopters ready then." The Emperor nodded and motioned to an aide. He bowed and left the room. The brunch continued as planned.

Newt looked back at Dora' "We have a great deal of sights there, and this is the castle I spoke of last night."

She nods and smiles. "I guessed."

Newt grinned and laughed a bit, the continued to eat.

OOC: Okay, I need to go and figure out this problem. I'll be back in a little bit. Cya, and good night if I don't figure it out.

Dora' continued to eat, as well.

This will be part of my daily life in not too long...I didn't expect this when I came here...now, how do I adapt?

OOC: It's cool. And italics are private thoughts, unless otherwise stated.

He wore khaki pants, an opened white oxford shirt and a blue blazer, along with his favorite pair of italian loafers. He walked down the hall, confidently, and upon reaching Dora's room knocked on the door.

He looked up from his letter and smiled,"Morning? Is it that time already? I didn't sleep much last night, so I wouldn't know. In any case, good morning to you, and good morning to you, your highnesses"

Rebecca smiled and the two princesses curtsied, they said "Its a pleasure to meet you as well."

~Moving ahead in the day~

Breakfast had just concluded, it was around 10:30 a.m. The Emperor had ordered the guests to meet on the main mall, where a royal helicopter would arrive to fly them to Norton. He and his family were waiting, dressed in blue and white, each a bit different, but in the same elitist quality that projects in royalty. Newt had just arrived, wearing the white oxford, light blue pants, and a blue blazer, along with white boating shoes and a tipped white hat.

Dora' appears shortly thereafter, dressed in something appropriate for the day, but very different from what the Newtonian royal family was wearing. Her hair was tied back loosely at the nape of her neck so that it would remain out of her face.

Newt smiled brightly and said "We should have a great deal of fun."

Dora' smiles back. "It's always enjoyable to be on the sea."

Newt grinned "Well, yes...the sea...kind of. Its in such a wonderful location its more of a salt water lake than the open sea."

"Interesting."

Barbarossa had opted for the slightly less formal, but nonetheless smart attire of open collar white shirt, blue trousers, pressed of course, and a pair of well-fitted shoes that finished the outfit off. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to perfection, being the military specification of four fingers wide. He had a pair of Oakley specs shielding his cool grey eyes, but had forgone a hat

Newt was about to say something as he noticed Barbarossa arrive. He grined and said "Its time to go then. Let me help you, Dora'."

Rebecca came running up, shoes in hand. She apologized to her uncle, and went straight to Barbarossa "Well, sorry I'm late."

There were four comercial helicopters waiting for the group. A Royal Seal was adorned on the side, covering the main door. They were a light blue, reminiscent of the sea. The Emperor boarded one of the waiting helicopters, as did the rest of the royal family.

Dora' nods.

"I only just arrived myself, so don't feel bad about it"

Newt showed Dora' to the first helicopter, along with the other guests. Rebecca followed in suit, asking Barbarossa to join her on the same helicopter as her cousin.

He followed Rebecca onboard,"Been a while since I was last in a chopper... never one this nice though"

OOC: Umm...dunno what to put...so I guess...

IC:
She steps into the helicopter. This is the first time any Kaymirilian has ridden in one.

OOC: Sorry, I was going to post earlier but something came up.

IC:
Rebecca smiled "Well, welcome to the nicest chopper you've seen." Newt grinned and nodded.

The flight was quick, the castle was not far at all. The helicopter sat down on a helipad, and the Household Guard quickly secured the belongings that came with the four helicopters. Newt helped the guests out of the helicopter and led them through the gardens to the ancient sea-side citadel.

"If I were to guess...I'd put it at six and a half centuries...maybe a little older, by the wear of the stone. It's beautiful."

Newt smiled "Close, it depends which wing. The oldest parts date to about the occupation by Rome. Those parts are closest to the water. But for the most part the rest is about 600 years old." He looked out of the tranquil bay and smiled.
The jovial Emperor walked over "Well my guests, how shall we begin? Perhaps with a quick swim?" He grinned like a young grandfather at the sight of his new grandchild.

That is one of the things we lack in Snake Eaters'. Truly beautiful buildings such as this one

The Emperor grinned at Barbarossa and said "Thank you for the compliment. I am sure, that there are some exquisite buldings in Snake Eaters."

Barbarossa shrugged in spite of himself,"A nation that fights many wars cannot afford beautiful buildings. The land itself is beautiful enough"

My sister commented on the beauty of some of your buildings...although she did also note that most of them were beautiful in a different way than Kaymirilian buildings are.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, your Highness. That said, the Adminstrium is a rather beautiful building, as is Colonel Cougar's house on the limits of the city

Newt nodded and grinned "Perhaps we should head down towards the docks. We can all find something fun to do."

"That sounds like a good idea."

OOC: Can we move this along somewhat?

OOC: Lol well to begin with it was over...but meh...I havent been around thats the problem. How about we just decide right now to end it, and Rebecca and Barbarossa get together or something along those lines. It can continue at the coronation if need be.

OOC: It may as well, but me and Kay are involved in another storyline, regarding Anna atm, so it looks like the coronation is going to be set back. It doesn't bother me, I'm on exam leave, so no school... just lots and lots of revision time.

OOC: I see, well that is fair. We should probably wait for Kay to decide if what I asked is a good idea as well. I do not care either way, I just don't see it taking any turns.

OOC: Sure, that works. Plans still need to be set out regarding Dora' and Newt, though.

OOC: Yeah, we can do that later...possibly on AIM.

OOC: Sure.

OOC: can Magda rp somewhere here? im bored :(

The end of the day came, and it was time for Dora' to go back to Kaymiril. She turned to Newt and smiled.

"I enjoyed today." She leaned up to give him a quick kiss. "I'll see you in a few days."

Activating Zotreth, she blazes off for her land.

Before she kissed him, he grinned and said "I enjoyed it more." Following the kiss he was a bit suprised, but undoubtibly glad. He turned to his fellow guests and nodded. As she flew off, he watched her for the brief second he could, and then returned to his duties as a host.

Barbarossa looked at his watch, noticing the date,"It is close, to be sure. I take it that you will all be attending?"

OOC: Here's the link to Anna's crowning. Anyone who has participated in this thread and does not object to the nation once they have read the first post may come.
