[ At first, Morgana hadn't wanted to attend, having had a nightmare about a murder happening here and all. But what if she had a chance to stop this, and she didn't do anything about it? ]

[ So, that's how Morgana found herself at the banquet. She was standing by a refreshment table, nervously sipping on a drink that she barely noticed, and anxiously scanning the room, trying to remember every detail of her nightmare so she could somehow prevent the premonition from happening. ]

[ Care to approach her? Warning, this lady is a little jumpy right now. ]

[defyantigravity]

[Despite having noticed that the woman looked a bit nervous, he still found enough intrigue there to casually approach her. Offering a polite smile, he glanced over the refreshment table to see what was offered.] How are you finding the evening thus far?

[secretpendragon]

[ She visibly twitches at the sound of his voice, and then quickly chides herself for being silly; if she can't even notice someone approaching her, how was she supposed to notice -- and prevent, for that matter -- a murder? ]

[ Thankfully, Morgana is quick to compose herself, and she offers the stranger an embarrassed smile. ]

It has been quite charming, actually. [ Which had been quite true, given the circumstances. But there is a small hint of surprise in her voice, as if she'd expected the opposite. ]

[defyantigravity]

My apologies, Miss. It wasn't my intention to startle you. [It was a polite statement accompanied by a smile.]

This is a lovely opportunity for both old and new to mingle. It's quite a nice way to meet new people, really. [And learn about different existences as that was something that still intrigued him.]

[secretpendragon]

There is no reason to apologize, really. It was entirely my fault for not paying more attention.

[ She nods in agreement with your statement. ] It is a very nice idea; I have yet to meet many people here, having just arrived a few days ago.

I am The Lady Morgana.

[defyantigravity]

It's understandable, given the festivity. It's quite easy to get lost in the crowd, so to say. [Especially if someone wasn't expecting another to approach them.]

A pleasure to meet you, Lady Morgana. I'm Arthur. [There was no offense at all meant by his not offering a last name. It was simply that habit dictated that he always simply introduced himself with his first name and that was it.] It seems that you have arrived at just the right time.

[secretpendragon]

The pleasure is all mine, Arthur. [ The name felt strange to say to someone who wasn't Arthur Pendragon. ]

Have you been here long, yourself?

[defyantigravity]

Nonsense. I'm sure it's mutual. [There was a smile that accompanied his words.]

I cannot say that I have. I arrived only this past July, towards the middle of the month. It seems that it was just in time, however.

[secretpendragon]

It is quite the event, isn't it? Almost feels as if I am home.

[ She can't help but make a quick scan of the room before turning her gaze back onto Arthur ]

You look quite at home here; are there events like this where you're from?

[defyantigravity]

It's always nice to have that familiar feeling, especially in a strange place. [Though one could probably argue on how nice of a thing it really is.]

They are. This format is what I'm most familiar with though I'm a bit glad that this seems a bit less exclusive than what I'm used to as it gives more of an opportunity to meet everyone.

[secretpendragon]

[ The format was nothing like anything Morgana was familiar with. But a banquet was a banquet all the same. ]

[ She raises an eyebrow at the word 'exclusive' ]

Oh? How were the banquets back home exclusive, if you don't mind my asking?

[ Her mind is translating his words to him being some sort of nobleman. ]

[defyantigravity]

It would depend upon the banquet though most had exclusive lists of people who attended. Some where a bit more inclusive than others but others had a very select list of individuals. [He was more meaning businesses and their habit of simply inviting employees and other such things.]

[secretpendragon]

[ She nods; the banquets in Camelot range in exclusivity as well. ]

What is it that you did back home, Arthur?

[defyantigravity]

[There was a momentary pause as he smiled. Ah. Now how to phrase what he did...]

I work in business as a bit of a freelancer. I'm quite good at what I do, though, and tend to meet a lot of important people.

[secretpendragon]

[ Real Edgeworth looks exactly like the face she saw in the Dreamberry. Morgana is still getting used to this whole, being able to see other people through a tiny little screen business. ]

[ Regardless, she gives Edgeworth a smile, and a bow of her head ]

A pleasure.

[ She opens her mouth to comment on how beautiful the banquet is, but is suddenly reminded of how she'd already had a preview of it in her dreams. ]
