Del blushed at the compliment, curtseying as he kissed her hand. She knew proper etiquette though in this setting it felt more like satire and flamboyance than pomp and circumstance, which was perfectly alright with Delanei. She followed him to the table, nodding her head in greeting to all of his honored 'guests,' "It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."
Many would find having a tea party with a royal and his dolls quite bizarre, but while some people were put off by the unusual, Delanei welcomed it. It was a refreshing change from the boring him drum of castle politics. Sometimes you just had to put on a fancy dress and sip tea with your buttoned and stitched friends. "That is perfectly alright, I can understand previous obligations. I hope they're doing well!"
