"Pleasant." Taeris noted, not seeming too bothered. "Let's meet this 'warchief' then."

Harun escorted the 'delegates' outside, onto the wide marble patio behind the palace. Spray from fountains cooled the air, and the gardens made the marble, which the sun was glinting harshly off of, easier on the eyes.

At the center of the patio a Redguard man, in his early thirties, was dressed in an outfit nearly identical to the one worn on the statue. In fact, his own resemblence to that statue was uncanny as well.

Standing about fifty feet from him were three young children, two boys and a girl, and they were all crowded in front of a thick wooden boarded that was supported by several planks of wood. The kids were grinning, laughing, and flinching as the man fired arrows at the board, just barely missing the children each time.

Not far, lounging on a broad, well cushion couch that had been carried out, was a man and a woman. The man wore thin finery, fitting for his status, but not to oppressive on the hot day. A golden circlet rested on his head. He was stretched sideways on the couch, watching the archer, occassionally taking a sip of wine. The woman lay the othe direction. She was younger than he, but not by much, and very attractive, with a broad browline and cheekbones that ended in a delicate jaw and narrow, the disparity in wideness of her face making her light brown eyes show brightly and intelligently. Every so often she leaned over to share quiets words with the man.

Scattered all around the couch, were servants standing as if they were statues, holding trays consisting of iced drinks and other refreshments. Despite the sweltering heat, and sweat gathering on their brows, and the heavyness of their rich wool outifts, they showed no movement.

"The king awaits you." Harun told them, nodding across the patio to the lounging man wearing the circlet.
