The meeting hall would be silent, only the gentle crackle of the fire at the end of the hall heating the room, while several candles and lanterns would illuminate the rest of the room. At the table, Formand Mikkelsen would be sitting with a cigarette in his hand, both of his gloved hands trembling slightly as he'd run through the plan one more time.

He'd be completely lost in thought, whispering to himself the important details, completely oblivious to the aide who walks right up to him and pours him another glass of mead. He'd only clock back to reality as the door shuts behind them, making him look around the empty room with heightened nerves. Another tense, lonely hour would pass before the first would arrive.

Grand Prince Arnout II of the Principality of Adrium.

His presence would be announced by an aide only a few minutes prior to his arrival, the Grand Prince sauntering in in a thick fur coat with a jeweled leather cap to keep his head warm while still showing off his Princely status. Before the man could even sit, an aide would pull up next to him, presenting him with a glass of a minty mead. The two would chat idly while they waited for their third guest, leaving the two men to gossip and joke.

The doors would open loudly almost an hour later than expected, no warning given by the aides before the loud clacking of heels across the smooth floor would ring in the ears of the two men as the woman slowly approached.

Grand Queen Marije VI the Wise of the Kingdom of Treice would stand before the two men, two aides at each of her sides. They'd bow to the two men before removing her fur coat, then rushing out of the room to leave the three alone.

The Queen would look at the two, taking a seat as one of Formand's aides poured her a glass of her own minty mead. "So. Shall we get started?"
