[ Launching and organizing the welcome banquet this time around has had some added difficulties -- both external, considering the supply shortages, and internal, considering Rhy's own complicated feelings about Castle Thorne these days. But none of that is the fault of the newcomers, who are appearing again after months of quiet. When he sees new faces around the castle, Rhy begins to ask around, and soon enough has managed to pull together a small banquet with the help of the castle staff.
It's not as lavish as it used to be, but he hasn't insisted on anything too fancy, either. He knows very well, after so many visits to Nott by this point, what real want looks like. Everything here is just enough for those attending, elegantly presented but otherwise fairly simple fare. Some in Thorne may be trying to impress their new Summoned, but Rhy has left it entirely up to the staff, insisting they don't need much and that it's really just a small affair to make the newcomers feel welcome at a time they're probably quite confused and stressed.
At the banquet itself, Rhy can be found walking around with a courteous smile and quiet, elegant demeanor. He's finely dressed in red and gold, and carries himself with an air of confidence. When he approaches, his honey-colored eyes are warm, and his voice sincere.
If you aren't holding a drink, he may offer you one, or gesture at the nearby refreshments, encouraging everyone to relax a little if they can. ]
Good evening, I'm sure this is all very overwhelming and you must have dozens of questions. I hope you'll find at least some of the answers here. Sit and have a drink if you'd like. You are among friends.
[ Or, if he finds you behind the screens, perhaps looking a little lost, he may offer assistance: ]
It seems strange at first, but it's rather intuitive once you've understood the trick to it. Have you practiced meditation before?
