Amenhotep was more than willing to appease his father. He was less opposed to the idea of marriage than his dear sister and as such wouldn't mind taking the attention away from her as long as he could. He walked with his father through the crowd. It wasn't a hard thing to do. The crowd parted quite easily for the pharaoh and his son. Standing in the pharaoh's way would never prove worthy.
When they arrived to where Lady Delphi was standing and the pharaoh announced them, the people around stopped talking immediately to listen. When the pharaoh asked for more details, Lady Delphi smiled and bowed her head towards the pharaoh and Amenhotep. Amenhotep looked at the good Lady, she was being very coy and demure, almost batting her eyes at the crown prince. "Father I was speaking with her earlier. She has told me more than I shared. She is not only absolutely stunning but has learned to dance very well, she says, as well as the bells," he spoke while not letting his eyes wander from her.
Necolita walked around the night trying to find a man that was at least a little bit attractive but there was none of them that could hold her attention for very long. After a fair time wandering on her own she moved back to where Sethos was standing with the dancer that had attracted his attention. "I am certain that my brother is being a proper gentleman tonight," she said to the dancer that was leaning against the wall. "May I steal his attentions for a small time. I promise to return him in the same condition," she said to her softly.
Once the dancer walked away for a little bit, Necolita turned to Sethos. "You were right. The suitors are worse tonight than they typically are. Do you think I turned too many away to have a decent man?" she asked him curiously.
