Tempus looked to the other males face before scanning the others in the hall. He felt the revel reignite as it was settled that yes here was another of theirs. He was in truth a Halfling but half was definitely better than none especially as of yet he was no threat to anyone’s title. This was a revel yet and so for the nonce they would ignore those petty notions and simply accept. He knew it would not be long before someone found a reason to sling barbs or worse.
His people could be so small minded especially considering that as long lived as they were there were many other things they could do with themselves."Whose house indeed I am no diviner of such things but blood calls to blood Illiade. Someone here is the boys kith and kin. Yet we are all of such things. This is a high feast day and as such here is where he should be feasting and celebrating with his peerage."

Kai was ready to speak but tempus took over and he was thankful. Smiling he nodded at a few ladies who waved. He knew he'd have to be wary of that guy but the man with skin lit from within almost transparent pale and hair the color of a Tigers harks hide streaks of grey white black and steel he could feel himself drawn.
He looked away and found a table to sit at they pulled out a chair for him and asked him tons about acting and movies and other somewhat more embarrassing things like love life.

Having been a hunter of most things that moved through the air across the land or beneath the sea at one point or another it was par for his course that he watched. It was also in him form so long at court that he knew that despite all of the fawning that the truth was they were seeking weakness. They were prepping him to if need be have something to attack. He smirked at the idea as the more things changed the less they actually did.
He was an old hand and knew that Kai would need to find his way as he found his mien. He was sure the boy had not noticed the increase in his true self and falling away of his seeming. Tempus also scanned the faces spotting similarities in certain faces as well as a direct resemblance in one in particular. He waited watching feasting and preparing himself for the attacks that would begin to flow sooner rather than later.

Adhair sat him self it was not the time just then but soon he'd have to claim his child and let chips fall where they might. He knew it would come the challenges duels testing him like a school of tuna looking for the slowest or injured.
Eating but still ever watchful. He was glad tempus had found him had any one else they might have killed him or kept him away by poisoning him against the faerie.

Ever the trickster at heart Tempus was loathe to make a scene but it was to be done so better to be done by his hand and where he could control than by another’s out of randomness. He watched as looks and glances were exchanged he knew soon someone would challenge Kai’s blood. Which meant that someone with an eye ear or nose toward divination would suss out whose loins had created such a halfling. Part of the nature of war was controlling the outcome putting the enemy at a loss that was the least costly. Now was that time before the alliances formed before anything more than curiosity would be the basis. No gainsaying no exchange of power he knew the few nobles present and knew also the pettiness of his people with Taranis in all but exile with eth vampire in control of the film business the Shining Court would make their wars and realign so as to cull power and position upon the return of a true King of Light.
Taking his goblet and flagon he sauntered forth insuring each eye was on him by seeming far more inebriated than he would ever be in this merry pit of vipers. “Ladies!!! And lords. Maids and men. Throng of all ages. I present to you each and everyone a long lost Halfling of our bosom returned to you awash in the very stuff of dreams. His glamour filled life a pale mirror to the stuff of dreams that we take for granted the magical elixir from which our life’s blood is but one lasting example.” Draining his goblet he refilled it as the gathered began trying to deduce his aim. Sipping again he met as many glares and questioning gazes as he could in one glance before going on reeling on his feet.
“This progeny deserves a name and be it his true name or merely one he will grow into it needs happen now the feasting must not end until he is properly claimed and welcomed.” Now the trap baited as they began to consider having the residual glamour form his many films the fawning adoration of the public masses at their whims. He allowed a second to tick by then whilst most were busy considering the use of such a one as he snapped close the trap. Using the last droughts of the death they’d just left and the full castoff of the thoughts present he locked them all here to feast and make merry binding his next with the very will of the Goddess and her Consort.
“In fact let us hold this feast sacrosanct and no harm or ill prevent this foundlings return until the full name of his kith kin house and blood be revelled. Not until each soul anoint his welcome with joyful tidings or the world cease its spin.” Binding each word with the full weight of an oath spoken in his heart he sealed it all sealed them all here with the biting of his cup causing his pure Arcadian blood to be spilled as he slammed his cup home. Its shattering sounding as thunderous as the first rain after battle. He was a war spirit and as such those bent to the greener softer things felt the pull of alien things and feelings. Those bound to war as he and his house felt the rattling of sabers the call to arms and the first trumpet of battle joined.
It was a glorious moment and one they would live for as long as it took to bloodlessly welcome Kai into the fold even if he could but stay a season.

A war spirit by earth and dint of the seat of his being he was drawn to the power and tease of blood. Arcadian blood spent towards ushering in a public oath. It was not simply done these days. most who knew how refrained as it was old magic and required too much of one's own energy, usually. Those who had forgotten the power of such things feared what might be wrought and yet some fool had done just that. tying blood and magic into an oath. He had to see whom would dare such a thing.
Of course it was him the devils right-hand at the center of such a storm. It was funny as he knew now that he had fallen into a trap meant for someone else. he touched the boundary as he arrived and knew it was sealing fast yet the allure of war the promise of death it was too much to ignore. he watched as others of his kind arrived realizing their folly. He also watched as those selfsame others attempted to flout the oath. They reached for swords and battlements that fell away to finery. He had to laugh as it was quite simple really they would be trapped here timeless as they believed themselves to be until whatever terms had been established were met. he hoped his brother had not made a promise none could keep.
He smirked at the vanity it would take to wreak such a thing and went to him. Taking two goblets for the flagon he held. "As I am here you might as well see that my cup runneth over." He lowered his voice and smiled as he leaned in holding both cups asking, "Now why would you do such a thing?"

Adhair all but clapped with the young warriors bravado. It was intriguing and as long as he waited till they were good and gubilant to claim his boy then he'd be safe for a while. Everyone knew the hunt was now real again and dared not oath break. He lifted a goblet and drank deep.
Then he was surprised even deeper to see the other twin show. Pure blood twins were rare in their world but they were from a time faerie was fruitful abundant. Then the sun king and his baron loins had ruined it.

Throwing his head back and laughing the blood in his mouth being swallowed while the wounds healed he said aloud "It is a pleasure to see you so hale and hearty." Throwing his arms around his brother as this was a feast for sure he said quieter and just for him , "I would dare the sun to a race round the globe for a bit of merriment on this feast day. Yet Blood does call to blood and a murder scene is no place for a scion of Arcadia." It was prettily phrased and as he spoke he turned his brother so that he might cast his eyes on the gathered assemblage. He was sure the eagle-eyed warrior would see as he had seen.
The Halfling was an heir. That much was obvious only his coloration gave pause and even that was a small one. Having hunted as much as himself he was sure T’lynxtri saw as he did. It would only be a matter of time before others gave voice or used his familial ties against him it was better to have done with it and over now so as no could claim ignorance. A bit of chicanery to achieve a continued peace in these times was well worth the boon or ban that would come from invoking such a thing as he’d wrought.
With courts in uproar many were settling grudges and scores most indirectly. Subterfuge and espionage were ending lines more thoroughly than most of the outright warfare they were experienced to in the far reaches.

Kai felt the magic rise looked to,see now there were two of his friends thinking perhaps he was drunken than he thought he came over then blinked subtle difference and laughed" you are double my friend..ha this world is truly in for it"
Smiling he nodded to the other " I am kai of stage and screen"
Glancing back in the direction of the stripy haired man.

“This my young friend is my brother T'lynxtri, Sidesplitter,The Devil's Left Hand, The Unassailable, First Knight of the Queens conspiracy, House Al Zum of the Darkling Court the finest of that particular throng in my eyes; and mirror to my own soul.” He spoke his brothers full entitlement aloud as a way to stave off the accusatory glances that would quickly become else. It was a declaration that any who chose now would not only have poor timing but would be marked as such for later vexations.
Then lower and barely above a whisper he leaned in to say, “Just as if you were to inherit your full name I am sure it would involve something along the lines of NicAhdair or some such lest tyou’ve come into a hand and may stand on your own wobbly feet.” Leaning away he continued aloud, “Of course that is just my summation and may not be true as gold but worth a quiet query should the moment arise. There is strength in numbers.”

He sighed and stood walking over too the group" might I borrow your young friend for a moment by your oath no harm will come to him"
Waiting for kai to decide but glad that he agreed and walked away with him" how is your mother? Still beautiful?"
He waited for the punch he deserved or the tantrum.

Kai watched the man come for him wondering if this was the nicadhair guy they were talking about. He nodded and walked off wondering what a hand was and why he needed one.
Maybe they meant like in Knights and Kings like that really popular show tournament of crowns. They had offered him a role but his character would have died fast and he couldn't pull off the accent well.
So he waited and the sneaking suspicion he had from the start was proved true. He was staring at his father. " she's fine and will always be beautiful to me..she remembers you sort of but most people think you are a figment of her addled brain. They talk about her like she's a tragedy of the worst kind. So I guess it's cliche but why?"

T’lynxtri fell silent as the Halfling came over swimming with glamour and actually holding it instead of losing himself or the contents of his stomach. Most foundlings no matter their connection with the Fae was at least initially disoriented and off kilter. This one was absorbing it as if he had been born to it or at least exposed. It made him wonder what game the Devils Right was playing at.
Only once had he known his other half to move without premeditation or a particular aim. It made him sip his drink carefully as he worked at the meaning. The real meaning. He would never lie but the truth was such an elastic thing for them that it was hard to believe anything was a simple as stated. T’lynxtri tried viewing his question and its parts to insure he’d asked the right query.
Unsure he waited as Lord Ahdair came to retrieve his obvious progeny. As former demigod and lord of the sea it was a station that many would kill for amongst any court. Especially as Taranis was no longer the high king of the glittering throng. Once they were sufficiently alone he lowered his voice and asked.
“Are you playing at minor king making?”

He nodded" this place despite what humans think we are is at times horrible and ruthless. I loved your mother even if it was brief but felt guilt over ruining her love for her husband who should have been your father. So I hid her away from them then she told me about you and I wanted to be there to see and hold you but when you were born threats began they tried to harm your mother and I couldn't allow it. I made her forget me and sent you both away.
I swore the brownies who help birth you to secrecy and sent them to watch over you. Your mother saw them one time to many and it broke her so they returned to the mound and I tried to forget tried to stop caring. You used to come down to the beach and I could watch there through the creatures that answers my call and now here you are grown and shining but still in much danger"

Listening what the man said seemed crazy had he not been warned similarly by tempus. He even as a child had a strange sense of danger like missing a four car pile up on the freeway by mere minutes because he wouldn't let his driver run a yellow.
Now as they spoke he felt the glances like vibration along his skin. Yes if he let them some here would mean him harm. He leaned in and asked" what is a hand and how do I know if I have one?"
