Lex.
Oddly enough, Voltaire's attention is caught by a particularly shiny champagne glass in front of them.
It seems to speak to you, twinkling under the bright lights above. You carefully sneak it into your pocket, hoping nobody will miss it.
+1 Shiny Champagne Glass
Northstar. and bluex are acutely aware of the ongoings and through charm and conversation, wind up with shiny souvenir tokens from some of the more gracious guests around them.

Your "father" looks at you sympathetically, worried gaze turning briefly into a bemused glint but primarily maintaining his original look of concern.
"Of course, you know where it is."
His voice is slightly strained and as you go to leave the table, you pause to study your surroundings briefly. Something feels off.

Seemingly slightly relaxed by the simple conversation starter, your father turns back to his own plate. It's a foreign thought to you, but you feel like you know that he doesn't like the food much either and is only truly here out of formality."It's fine, you're still just learning so I don't expect you to remember everything immediately. We're here to discuss trade relations between our city and the northern sect."
He pauses, glancing around the busy room.
"The founding home of the northern city was recently... eliminated. So this meeting is to try and soothe over the wrinkles left by the tragedy. They couldn't find any bodies, so it's a mystery as to what truly happened."
His last statement was spoken with such a haste and so quietly, you almost couldn't hear it over the chatter. Remembering a tragedy that was not your own was unsettling, to say the least.

The room and air around you is nothing short of eloquent, extra and royal. Perhaps monarchies don't exist in this universe, but there are surely houses that rule over their respective cities. Almost as if you got hit with a train of thought that has always been there but not running, you could recall that there are smaller towns and cities scattered around one primary city, the capital, if you will. There was where the true royal family resided. Everyone else looked up to the royal family but otherwise stayed loyal to their respective cities.
Your father gives you a lopsided grin, but you can't help but notice him glance wearily around you. Maybe you aren't the only one unsure of something.
"I wouldn't concern yourself so much with what the council would think, young sparrow."
Despite the distant tone to his response, he shoots you a bright eyed look and redirects his attention to some other man calling him from a ways across the table.

The house, mansion, is unexplainably large and despite the fact that memories and thoughts that are original not your own seem to be flowing in, it would still probably be a challenge to navigate the house. You can vaguely recall that the mansion is two stories, with long winding halls and thick wooden support beams throughout the house. It's a dark house, dark to match the snowy forest surrounding the area.
It's less than fire resistant, which could be concerning in consideration of fireplaces being a primary source of warmth during the coldest months of winter.

Your father shoots you a nervous smile, almost like he isn't very convinced by your choice to stay. Regardless, he doesn't push the topic further and instead turns back to his own food and socializing. Looking around you, you notice people that you didn't even know that you knew. There are prominent members of your community here; the guild leaders, respected members of the local faith services. The community of your city-town is relatively small, technically speaking, due to the geographic location right along the mountain ridges, but everyone is also pretty close.
The council is technically members of the high society in the community. While there isn't the most drastic of differences in everyone in terms of income, there are people that come from more "renowned" families that hold some influence over the community as a result. Those people are closely tied with the inner workings of the community and they know everything. For better or worse.
The only person you seem to know personally is a nomadic family that has quickly integrated into the community. A respectable family that came from up north a week or so ago, that has quickly become close with your own family. Despite their random appearance, they have a formidable reputation among the travelling merchants and hold a good reputation that tracks with every city that they have visited. Your father was honored that they chose to align themselves with his city. They have a child, around your age, that is sitting across from you currently. They are a kind individual, albeit a bit quiet and socially withdrawn.
In fact, they've been awfully quiet all night, looking at their lap with an unflinching gaze.
