Anna makes her way to her brother and addresses him with a smile.

"I'm glad you could make it brother!" She looks over to Eupraxia. "And you brought your lovely wife! How good of you to come my dear." Turning back to her brother, she continued. "I've taken the liberty of seating you next to my husband and I. Is that satisfactory?"

**Ignoramus** · 07-10-2008, 05:55

Embracing Anna, Ioannis responds warmly.

It will honour me and my wife to be seated next to you. I must say I am very curious to meet your new husband. Strator Mavrozomis has told me many interesting things about him.

Anna led them both to the table.

"I'm sure he'll be as pleased to make your acquaintance. I apologize if I cannot tarry with you now, but there many guests. I promise to return before you miss me brother."

Apionnas observes proceedings from a corner of the hall, while alone he is at ease with his surroundings. He is wearing the familiar blue officers cloak of his Mansuriyyan regiment. Arabic writing embroider both it and the black bands of cloth on his upper arms. In contrast to this is the Byzantine court armour beneath. The badge of service to the Basileus clearly visible.

A few odd stares are sent his way but most in attendance are aware of who he is and keep any remarks to themselves.

**TheFlax** · 07-10-2008, 06:52

Anna moves to greet Apionnas with a warm smile.

"It is good to see here, Apionnas. I hope you will enjoy yourself."

**AussieGiant** · 07-10-2008, 06:57

Bowing deeply Apionnas returns the smile.

Assalaam Alaikum my Lady.

My congratulations. It is truly an impressive event. It reminds me of some of the Egyptian Sultan weddings. He has had many.

Raising an eyebrow in amusement he wonders if the Princess will respond to the jest.

Kosmas enters the wedding hall. He seems to be recovering from his illness, still looking thin but stronger and more sure of himself again. He is wearing a chlamys cloak, dyed gold, over a long, dark red divetesion with a gold Chi Rho emblazoned on the chest. On his head sits a black trapezoidal hat. Nodding towards Kalameteros as he passes him by, Kosmas walks over to the banquet to pour himself a glass of wine before wandering off to a relatively empty corner of the room.

**TheFlax** · 07-10-2008, 07:15

Anna chuckled lightly at Apionnas' words.

"I am glad you appreciate it."

Noticing Kosmas, she motioned him to join them.

**Zim** · 07-10-2008, 07:56

Seeing Anna wave towards him Kosmas moves over to her and Appiona, bowing towards the former and nodding to the latter.

"Congratulations, Princess. I wish you many happy years with your new groom."
