"Oh, I most certainly will when I rove out next! I can't refuse hospitality offered so enthusiastically." She grins a little. Truth be told, it's how she prefers to travel-- staying in friends' homes where she can let down her guard a little. It's lucky Kamille approached Vadoma first, with her warm and friendly disposition. "I have plenty of stories to share, and maybe a fortune or so if you're lucky."
She manages to turn a cackle into a quiet snicker as she ignores Gerhart's withering looks, cackling a little. "Oh, yes, that's him. Sweet and charming enough that he can get on in the world with what little brain he has." Her grin as they discuss him is fond, though, not deriding. "I imagine he doesn't tell a lot of people about me. He'd probably tell you I embarrass him or something," she muses, shrugging. "I just like to tease him, is all. It's what sisters do." She sighs, stretching her fingers. "He's a very good man, just very easy to knock down a peg or two just like anyone else you've known your whole life."

"Thanks for the offer, I will probably take you up on it if I get cornered by some stranger around here." Another little laugh as he looks towards Kamille and Vadoma again. "My sister actually. She and my dad are performers..Dad must have been busy if Vadoma is playing alone."
He sighed a bit and decided to give this awkward back and forth, bringing the groups together rather than have to disparate conversations on the outskirts of the party. Gerhart gestures to have Ollivander follow him if the man is agreeable to it, though he would not begrudge him this oppourtunity to escape.
The young, burgeoning knight crossed the floor and joined the pair with a wide smile full of all his dumb himbo charm. "Evening Lady Kamille, you look l-lovely as always." Of course he would falter and blush a bit in front of Kamille, have you seen her?
"If I had known this event would stoop to hiring you, I wouldn't have been so worried." The playful and immediate chiding was all the confirmation anyone would need they were siblings, also just look at the resemblence between the two.
If Ollivander joined, he would be gentlemanly enough to introduce him, "Ladies, this is Ollivander Groves."

“No need for thanks I’m more than happy to assist” he smiled before listening to what the other said next raising a brow and examining the girl closely before looking back to him “I see. So they are both musicians? Did you ever have an interest in the arts? It was fighting preferable?” He asked with a curious gaze as his head tilted to the side in a curious manner. He nodded and followed curiously as they went to the others. Of course he would have to examine them and see if they could be useful in one way or another. His soft smile continued as he heard the banter before bowing politely as he was introduced “it is a pleasure to meet you both. May I ask what your names are?” He asked as he straightened himself politely as he always was. His wings stayed tight towards his back to keep from bumping people and he then pushed up his glasses a bit which had slid ever so slightly “I hope you are both doing well this evening and enjoying the event” he then turned towards the sister “and I am quite delighted at the prospect of hearing you play I am sure it will be lovely”

Kamille flashes a happy smile at Vadoma - it's not an empty invitation, and she gets the idea the other woman will take it sometime. It would be great to have some stories and music to that very silent part of the forest. Music was never something that had followed her, so Kamille was thankfull of Vadoma's disposition.
At the same time, she chuckled softly at her teasing of Gerhart. The Witch didn't have sisters or brothers, but knew the duo when she spotted them. Kamille knew that, if it wasn't anyone but Vadoma talking like that about Gerhart, she would probably have something to say. Only I can talk crap about my brother sort of thing, she assumed. It was cute, really.
But soon enough Gerhart would approach them, probably with burning ears; she was quick to hold back a chuckle. Kamille gave them both a slight bow of the head.
"Good evening, Gerhart. It's been a while, isn't it? You look rather dashing, if you don't mind me saying. How you've been? I hope life's been treating you well... Many adventures since then?"
They surely are brother and sister - there is no denying that. But Kamille is rather puzzled by the other one that's been talking to Gerhart...
Kamille never saw him around Moonglade - she certainly would remember someone like him. Her eyes inevitably wandered to his wings for a second, even if she tried not to stare for long. He looks pleasant enough, but in a sea of pleasantries and fake smiles, he doesn't strike her as particularly warm or genuine, for some reason. She can't put her finger exactly in what it is about him....
Kamille offers him a polite curtsy, the kind one would expect from a noble lady.
"I'm Kamille, Mr. Groves. Enchanted to meet you."
No title, no surname and no nothing to help him identify her. If he was from Moonglade, he would be able to gather the hints and figure her out with only that.
"Hi! I am Mischief!"
The raven didn't seem to want to be left out of the conversation either.

"Stoop? You know as well as I do fancy castle parties don't deserve a Kymenos. If I'd known you would be here I wouldn't have taken it, let you squirm a little for once." She grins, reaching for his hand to pull him into a one-armed hug if allowed. "Hello, brother."
She pulls away, turning to Ollivander. "Vadoma Kymenos, professional wandering performer. It's nice to meet you, Mister Groves." She follows Kamille's lead, curtsying to the man with a smile, though studying him curiously. With his wings and placid smile, a younger, tinier Vadoma might ask if he was an angel, but her father taught her well-- even if angels did exist, they don't smile like that. "You flatter me! I hope I'm not too low-brow for the audience." She chuckles lightly.
The chuckle turns into a laugh when Mischief makes his presence known, lifting a hand to scritch at his neck despite herself. "Yes, you are!"

Gerhart blushes and turns a bit sheepish as Kamille compliments him, becoming all shades of "aw shucks." He awkwardly coughs into his hand to cover himself and snap back to the conversation.
"You um, you look lovely as well. I suppose there's been a few, enough that apparently the Fighter's Guild thought well of me to make me their liason tonight instead of Shaa or Zarius. Just trying to take it all in I suppose."
A drink or two in and around more known people has helped his nerves somewhat. Pain in the ass that Vadoma was, she was at least a known quantity so that helped a bit. And Kamille just had that presence and confidence that you could lean on and use for yourself.
While the groups chatter a bit, suddenly the entire room goes quiet and turns to face the doors. A tall elven woman clad in shining armor and a crown atop her head enters with a cavalcade of retainers. As she passes people bow, murmuring the name Princess Maylin. Gerhart may know little of politics, but he knows that name and enough to gently bow his head in respect, giving a nudge to Vadoma to start playing.
"Thank you all for coming here tonight." She stops once at the center of the room to address everyone. "It has been too long since we've held a meeting like this. Charon is always a place of change, so to see so many steadfast allies here tonight warms my heart. I welcome all of you new friends to the White Walled Castle. Please, enjoy yourselves."
With the arrival of the princess, it seems the party is fully in swing. There are plenty of chances for everyone to gladhand, make new promises, fake some promises, or just meet some of the nobles.

Ollivander nodded politely here and there in the conversation occasionally chiming in as he sipped his wine and spoke kindly with the group. Seeing the conversations and such stop he turned watching the princess entering the ballroom, bowing politely though he didn't plan to have to bow to such people for much longer if he could get his plans in motion. He lifted his head with a smile as the princess spoke an listened to her words, applauding once she finished speaking before looking to the group "quite a lovely entrance this year" he smiled "Is this a first for all or have some of you attended such events before? I know dear Gerharts answer from our previous conversation though I would like to extend the question to you both as well "He remarked with a bright smile seeming quite curious. He nodded his head to a few passing nobles who recognized him as they went along their way as he waited for the two to answer.Though these events typically bored him it was interesting conversing with new people at times and learn more about potential prospects and allies if he played his cards right. Hw took another sip of his wine

Kamille seemed happy with herself for making Gerhart blush, her smile shining a bit brighter at the display. Then, he mentioned the Fighter's Guild... Ah... That was interesting... Representing the Fighter's Guild, eh?
"Zarius and Shaa must trust you then. If you'd accept the help of a member of the Mage's Guild, you can always lean on me for help..."
The conversation was interrupted for a moment by the entrance of the Princess, to which Kamille respecfully bowed her head, if ever so slightly. With everyone in silence, Kamille listened politely to the Princess speech, clapping softly as she took her leave, turning to the group once more.
"Oh, I've been to a couple events like this before......"
It was a vague answer, but true regardless. Maybe more than "a couple". She had lived at the Court of the Sun King, so banquets and balls were something she was used to, which could be perceived by her total lack of nervousness. The Witch was happy even, feeling confident in her own skin.
"How about you, Mr. Groves? Is this your first event of the kind?"
Kamille doubted it, as he looked pretty confident, but it was always interesting to know what people wanted them to know.
