"The way I see it, all these privileges," Okerra sweeps a hand about the chamber, "Come with duties. Great power, great responsibility. I may never have to worry about having enough to eat in my life, so the least I can do is listen to and pay attention to those whose labour makes my lifestyle possible and ensure that I do everything in my power to help them in return. Besides," he grins wide, a playful twinkle in his eye, "Discovering his talents first made sure that Kalbio's very best works are not here in the Senate, or in the royal palace, but decorating my home."

"No thanks necessary, Mr. Crawford," Baron Okerra replies with a smile and a nod. "So what brings you here tonight?"

Just then, everyone finds their activities interrupted by a stream of servants coming out of every door, carrying platters of cheese, olives, fruits, cured meats, and freshly baked bread accompanied by other serving staff carrying bottles of wine and piles of glasses to pour it into. People tend to not stop their conversations, just quietly accepting glasses and picking bits of whatever food suits their fancy off the platters, often taking small personal plates to hold food on.

Corey happily takes a little plate and a fair amount more food at once than is typically considered polite for an occassion such as this as he answers Okerra. "A friend invited me along ta run some messages for her-euh them. Ah thought it'd be a fun night out and Ah'd get ta meet some interestin' folks like yerself."

"Good," Baronet Cicato nods to Sarina while taking a small plate of meats and olives. "And what of yourself? Where do your own interests and goals lie?"

Okerra himself takes more than most as well, though he seems to stick to the lightest fare. "Kind of her, or rather, them," the baron chuckles with a raised eyebrow. "But I won't pry, I'm sure the one who brought you doesn't have anything inappropriate planned."

"I'd like to be involved in bringing more prestige, prosperity, and power to Taldor," Sarina says. "And to do that, I'm working towards getting myself into a position where I'd be able to help make choices towards that end, and listening to those who have excellent ideas on what those choices should be, such as yourself."

"Many people can claim to want to restore some of Taldor's glory," Baronet Cicato points out cynically. "The difference between the fools and the heroes is on how they do so."

"True," Sarina agrees. "I certainly disagree with many of the methods some propose. Perhaps they might consider me a fool. But only history will truly be the judge. I see no reason to sit back with doubts and worry. Even if I should fail in my goals, overcoming my opposition will only make whoever succeeds stronger for it."

"That is true," Cicato agrees. "The strongest blades are forged in the hottest fires, which is part of the problem we've had until recently. All those with power agreed on the same, arguably incorrect course, with no-one truly testing or pushing back on their ideas."

"Mhm. But there's certainly winds of change blowing now. I don't intend to miss out on a chance that might not come around again in my life," Sarina says

"Indeed. We exist in a rare era of change," Baronet Cicato nods slowly. "For better or ill has yet to be seen, but I doubt Taldor will be the same twenty years from now."

"It most definitely shall not be," Sarina agrees. "For the better, I hope. And I intend to do what I can to make sure of that."

"Good, you have my support in that cause when it would be helpful, then," Baronet Cicato gives Sarina a thin smile.

Baron Okerra raises an eyebrow mischievously when he hears that. "Is that so? Well, that narrows down the list..." he jokes, then chuckles. "Son, if someone doesn't want their identity revealed, don't tell people any identifying details."

Corey blushes. "Oh, uh... well, Ah s'pose Ah've never been very good 'bout keepin' secrets," Corey admits. "It ain't mah way. Ah'm a straight shooter mahself."

"Not to worry, I'm not one to pry," Baron Okerra chuckles. "Just a word of warning is all. Not that there's long left for socializing time now, but if you ever find yourself at an event like this in the future."

"Ah doubt that," Corey shrugs. "This was a special occasion, but Ah'm no one fancy 'nuff ta be at places like this normally."

"I would be much obliged," Sarina thanks the baron with a small curtsey. "And should you have ideas that you would like to see more attention brought to, I would be happy to listen to them."

"You never know. Maybe your friend will need a messenger again sometime," Baron Okerra points out after popping an olive into his mouth. "Besides, the winds of change are blowing. Who knows what the future holds?"

"I may just take you up on that," Baronet Cicato replies, giving a short bow. "Enjoy your dinner, Dame Karthis."

"Well, you never know," Okerra rolls his shoulders casually. "What's it that you normally do, Mr. Crawford?"

"Ah worked fer Count Alec Varima, out in Kallen, till about a month ago," Corey recounts. "'till Ah won a local tourney, so now Ah'd call mahself a pro fighter."

"Oh, I'm familiar with Count Alec Varima. His nephew, Earl Gahez Varima, is actually here tonight. He inherited his father, Count Alec's older brother's, senate seat after his passing," Okerra nods and smiles at the mention of the Varima family. "But do indulge me, I'd love to talk shop about combat. I served in the military myself," he taps at a finely crafted falcata hanging at his side. "What sort of style do you use?"

Corey reaches back and slightly adjusts the peacebound glaive on his back. "Ah wouldn't say Ah've got a style just yet. Mah daddy taught me the basics of a buncha weapons, and when Ah picked the glaive he said he'd teach me somethin' called the Bladed Brush, but Ah won the tourney first an' ended up leavin' home 'fore he could give me more than a few pointers. Ah might try ta work from there, though, it seemed like it'd suit me."

"Ah, that's a clever technique to make glaives more versatile," Baron Okerra nods slowly. "Nearly as flexible as a dagger, even. It's an interesting style to be sure. And the glaive is a careful weapon. As someone who uses a shorter blade, any time I ran into a polearm I had trouble approaching."
