Hearing a knock, Patan hurries to meet the new arrival. She smiles in welcome to the Lady Mcchipie von Frayner, curtsying gracefully as she opens the door wider and ushers her into the castle reception area.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, and welcome to Somerset, England. I am Patan, secretary to the Ambassadors. We are very happy to see you here in our county.

"I shall fetch our Chief Ambassador, Richard "Silvermane" Norfolk to attend to you directly so that you may present your credentials to him and he can present you with the keys to your embassy.

"I do hope that your journey was not too tiring. Please make yourself comfortable while you wait and, if you need anything, you have but to ask."

With a smile, Patan calls the servants and tells them to arrange for whatever the Ambassadress needs and to send a stable-lad to take care of her horse.

Patan excuses herself, and rushes off to find the Chief Ambassador.

Silvermane walks quickly to the doors to the castle after hearing from Lady Patan that the ambassadress from Lorraine, Lady Mcchipie Von Frayner, had arrived.

Smiling happily, he reaches for lady Von Frayner's hand and kisses it as his voice rings out,
"Welcome Lady Von Frayner ...it is a sincere pleasure to see you here." Silvermane bows to the newly arrived ambassadress.

"I also welcome you in the name of our Duke Luja and the people of Somerset. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Richard "Silvermane" de Norfolk ... Chief Ambassador for Somerset responsible for foreign countries and counties."

Silermane smiles back as he takes the arm of Lady Mcchipie omto his own and slowly shows the new ambassadress the sights and tapestries hanging on the walls along the passages to her new office.
