Every year in Braavos they host a grand Festival to honor the Four Winds. Lord Delinaal has decided to hold in his Manse and invite the Lords of his new home. There is a giant buffet filled with the food of his Native City. The finest liqueurs in the world are served to all of his guests; the more Potent the better.
There is a ballroom with a large orchestra playing music from Braavos where any one can dance. There are rooms on the ground floor for people to congregate and have long conversations.
The upstairs bedrooms have been made available to amorous couples. Though the orgy rooms are locked, and have four large, but quite polite men guarding them. Only at invitation are you allowed inside.
In his three gardens, and in his library four events have been arranged. This thread is for those when they are in the party. Feel free to post here, and at any of the events simultaneously.

Sergio stood at the front gate welcoming people into his Manse.

Taena Storm arrived on the arm of Ser Jaime Westerling, her former lover and continued friend. They arrived with Lord Reyne and several other members of his retinue.

Elseyris arrived shortly after Taena, accompanied by Ser Bryan Waters, one of Lord Rosby's sons, who had been charged with escorting her in Trajan's absence. Ser Bryan was a tall man in his late twenties, with the solemnity of a soldierly bearing, but with friendly pale blue eyes and an easy smile. His mane of slightly curly brown hair stopped short of his shoulders, and he wore clothes of dark blue and black. Elsey was still recovering from her injuries, so he held her arm in his steadily, leading her to the manse.
She greeted Lord Sergio warmly;
"My Lord, what a joy it is to see you again!"
She had dressed in russet velvet, which brought out the chestnut brown of her eyes. She kissed him on both cheeks.
"Should I say... happy festival day?"

Sergio bowed to Elsey, "It is a pleasure to see you so well, my lady. Welcome to my manner. I hope you will have a truly wonderful festival. I am just trying to bring a hint of culture to you savages." He winked at her.

I am just trying to bring a hint of culture to you savages." He winked at her. "You have a wonderful home," replied Elsey, glancing around the manse as she was led inside. "I'm afraid you shall have to tell this savage one what customs she must observe," she said, returning the wink. |

"Drink until you have lost all control, and then drink some more. It is the only custom." Sergio replied. He kissed her hand, and motioned for her to enter the manse.

"Goodness! I shall endeavour to be a good guest, though I cannot say I shall be a match for a Braavosi Lord when it comes to drinking," she laughed, glancing cheerfully for a moment at Ser Bryan, checking to see if there was disapproval or not.

Ser Bryan was watching the Braavosi, but looked at Elseyris when she looked at him, and raised a single eyebrow, "Oh... I can out drink a Braavosi Lord. Just not a Lysene Pirate."

Relieved that this one seemed more personable than Trajan, Elsey smiled;
"Let us hope no Lyseni pirates turn up and put you to shame then, Ser. I would hate to be the one to have to carry you back to the Keep!"
Cups of wine were presented to them, and she held it up;
"To a much-needed night out?"

Bryan took the wine and looked around. "I have all the nights I need, but it would be rude to refuse a toast." He touched glasses.

"All the nights you need? How do you mean?" Elsey asked, genuinely not sure what he meant, sipping her wine.

Bryan looked at her, "Well I guess I do not any more, but until I took this post I was able to do what I wanted with my time." He replied and drank his wine. "This is a fancy festival though. A higher order then I usually attend."

"I am sorry that your time is curtailed, Ser. I would hope that it won't be entirely unpleasant for you though," Elsey said calmly, suddenly anxious that she had misjudged the knight. He could not likely be as bad as Trajan, but things could still be difficult if there was resentment on his part. She fidgeted with the high neck of her dress, checking that the bandages were secure.
"Since I failed to make an appropriate toast, I would welcome one from yourself."

Bryan raised his glass and said, "To life and to family." He drank his wine. And looked around the manse.

Bryan raised his glass and said, "To life and to family." He drank his wine. And looked around the manse. Elsey nodded silently, and took a drink. If only I had much of either.She saw him looking around, and spoke gently; "Do you wish me to follow you while you look around, or may I stay here?" |

"You do what you like." Bryan said, "I am your man... well you know what I mean. I guess I serve the King... but I am here to protect you." He shrugged awkwardly, and smiled at her. "Quite an odd situation I find myself in."

"I understand. It's alright. I don't plan on getting into any trouble, so no need to worry overly much," she smiled, somewhat sympathetic to his uncertainty.
She returned to Sergio;
"My Lord, now that I am furnished with a drink, it occurs to me to ask you about the origins of this festival, and the meaning of it's name."

Sergio smiled at her after greeting two other guests, "Well my dear it is simplicity itself. In Braavos the sea is our mistress, but her four lovers, the four winds control our fates almost as much. I am not sure how long ago the festival started, but today is the day we honor those winds. And drink until our eyeballs float." He said with a warm smile. \

Janos arrived at the party, glad he had finally been able to make some time for the event.
As he arrived he scanned the room for familiar faces.

He said with a warm smile. \ Elsey laughed at his expression; "Floating eyeballs sounds messy! And four lovers, you say? Who could keep up such a regime?" It was then she noticed Lord Janos Velaryon, and beckoned him over; "My Lord Hand, a pleasure to see you again," she said, with a curtsy. |

Sergio laughed and said to her, "Four seems low to me. I must admit." He sipped from his own wine, and greeted the next visitor.

"Lady Elseyris" Janos said politely.
"The pleasure is mutual"
