Marcel looks over the smaller male, suspiciously....then again, deciding that he wasn't a threat. He relaxes and smiles. "Huh, that's cool. I'm Marcel. What's your name? Why are ya in such a hurry? We're all new here, its not like yu have anywhere to go. how about you talk to us while we wait for everyone else to get ready? We were going to go on a little 'adventure' before the banquet begins." He asks question after question, smiling all the while. His eyes are locked on Auguste

"From that description alone, I'm afraid I might have already made an impression on him." She chuckles. Thea was surprised that Gen seemed to be beckoning her to come along. She didn't see any harm in doing so, so she followed her new acquaintance. Thea deduced that Genevieve was quite the social butterfly. She seemed to fit so easily into any conversation. She was fine with letting her dominate their conversations, because she wanted to get to know this curious woman more.

Marcel glances over in the middle of one of his questions, his expression suddenly brightens and he stands up straight, seeing his sister. He runs over and hugs her tightly, smiling brightly, "Gen! You're back!!" He glances up at Thea and smiles at her, "Greetings!" He looks at Genevieve's face, making sure she's not hurt, then releases her, looking at Thea gratefully. Marcel remembers he is still in view of the others.....He quickly covers up his joy with a mischievous expression.

Thea tenses up when she sees Marcel run over to Genevieve. She waves to Marcel and takes a couple of steps away from them both. She observes Marcel's behavior carefully. She saw through his mischievous facade. She raises an eyebrow towards him. She quietly ponders whether or not she should stay and converse with them or not. She remembered what her mother said. She mustn't get caught up in her books. She needed to try to socialize and find a husband. She sighs and begins to fidget with her braid.

Thea hadn't realized that she was waiting for Genevieve to initiate the conversation. She seemed a bit lost in these social situations. She looks at Marcel and then Gen. I should probably introduce myself, right? She thinks to herself.

Looking to Marcel and shaking his head at his ridiculousness as the male laughed off his nickname, Desmond let out a chuckle of his own and outwardly considered Marcel's inquiry for exploring the castle grounds, shrugging and giving in to the idea "Oh, well, If you all go, then I guess I'll join in. A little bit of fun wouldn't hurt me anyhow." Turning his attention to Nicholas as he asked of his well being, the worriedness in his voice causing the brown haired male to snort with laughter, Desmond wildly shook his head and rested a calming hand on the other's shoulder "No no, no need to worry, mate! I'm just being dramatic; I probably eat more than all of you combined in a day's time."
Removing his hand from his shoulder and amusedly watching the interaction that followed between Nicholas and Marcel, Desmond turned to the brunette as she spoke up and offered a proper introduction, chuckling a bit and returning her words with a friendly smile "Pleasure again, Phoebe. Glad to see someone else feels the same here; food always comes first."

Brought back to Marcel's conversation as he seemed to address someone new among the group, Desmond followed the other's eyes and caught the pleading look on Auguste's face just in time, taking a moment to consider the proper, brotherly thing to do. On one hand, he knew that Auguste wanted him to dismiss all attention from him so he could sneak off and tinker with his mechanics, but on the other he knew that his socially distant baby brother could use some friends for a change. Or at least a conversation, one that isn't with Desmond (though the older prince never minded listening to his brother talk of his newest ideas). Deciding for the latter, Desmond shot his brother a quick thumbs up of encouragement before turning to the rest of the group and offering an introduction for him "Hey, everyone, this is my brother, Auguste. He's more on the quiet side, but that's probably my fault; I took all of the outgoing genes already."

Noticing a couple new additions to the grouping, Desmond chuckled a bit as Marcel ran up to his presumed sister, a bit relieved to know that he wasn't the only one who had a soft heart for their sibling. Turning to the two, Desmond offered a warm smile, welcoming them to their group "Well, good timing! Welcome, you two. Seems we aren't so bad at interacting as our parents think." Making general small talk, always one to speak his mind, Desmond decided to offer an introduction "I'm Desmond, though feel free to call me Des, or whatever else you can come up with."

Marcel laughs at the last part of Desmond's sentence. he gingerly holds his sisters hand and leads her over to the group and then lets go of her hand, standing close to her. He looks at Auguste, looking much more friendly. "Nice to meet you Augie." He looks at Desmond and sticks out his tongue. "Dessy, you and your brother don't act anything alike." He laughs again. He does this a lot. He glances, once again, at Nicholas, shooting him a smile and a wink, "What do you say Nicky? Wanna wait for everyone or go explore the castle...?"

Thea nods to Gen, signifying that she was going to leave. There were a lot of people here. She began to wonder what else the castle had. Perhaps a stable? She loved to go riding whenever she could. Thea walked back to her chambers and changed into a riding outfit. She had gotten here in the early morning, and it was not even lunch time yet. She braided her hair once more and headed outside, finding some stables on the south side of the palace, near the plains. She found a beautiful, black gelding and had a stable hand prepare him for riding.

When Thea finally began to ride, she relaxed. The feeling of the sun on her cheeks and wind in her hair was lulling. The sapphire sky was completely clear, and the plains around her were beautiful. She didn't pay much attention to the guards that were a respectful distance from her.

Auguste was a bit taken aback by how quick Marcel’s mood changed. He internally made a note to make sure he never got on his bad side. Augie...that’s a nickname he hadn’t heard since he was a child. “Nice to meet you too,” he said quietly, not wanting to loudly interrupt Marcel. The nickname Dessy was a pretty funny one though. He would save that one for later, possibly to help taunt his brother later on. All of this talk about exploring made him nervous. If he wasn’t careful, he knew his brother would end up dragging him along, so he just stayed silent, hoping all of the excitement of exploring would make him disappear.

While he was glad that he'd had no need to worry, Nicholas was a little surprised with himself that he hadn't picked up on the prince's drama and exaggeration. He supposed the concern took over more so, and since he didn't know the others well enough, it was harder to tell.
Nicholas then glanced towards Marcel. "I don't... I don't think that anyone should do that." he said, feeling like his anxiety was spiking internally at the mere thought of going about to break rules and sneak around.

As the group was starting to steadily grow, with more royalty being spotted and pulled towards the group to be introduced, Nicholas took a step back, to allow himself a bit more space. It had been starting to get a little too crowded for his liking, and he didn't want to end up panicking in front of everyone.
Then, he introduced himself to those that didn't know his name yet. "My name is Nicholas."

Nicholas turned his attention towards Marcel, hesitantly. "We are... just exploring?" he asked, though he had a feeling that his definition of exploring was different to Marcel's definition of exploring.

Marcel smiles and shrugs, "Yeah....But my way~ Interested? Awesome." not giving Nicholas a chance to reply, he turns on his heel and starts to walk. He smiles as he walks, whistling as he stuffs his hands in his pockets. He trusts the group at least a tiny bit to be relatively near his sister.....He walks past Thea and slips outside near the garden, but makes a sharp turn just outside the door, just before disappearing from view, he smiles and winks, then is removed from their view.
