Liam had only recently heard of the conference but, having attended one of Lord Baldar and Lady Caitilin's diplomatic conferences a long time ago, thought it was an excellent idea. Although as a bishop and lord he had ridden on horseback less than he would have liked to over recent years, here he was representing a knightly order, even if he could not fight, and decided to travel the way he had grown up doing in Ireland - in the days when he aspired to becoming a warrior or statesman, not a bishop. How his mind had changed - he had joined the Order at a young age as an Episcopal Guard to the Irish bishops and, inspired by Bishops such as Paullo, chose to turn his back on warfare and instead dedicate himself to Jah and his community.

He introduced himself quietly but with a smile, eschewing grand announcements, and wondered if his eclectic mix of riding gear and episcopal vestments looked as insane as he thought it did.

"I am Liam, the Bishop Vice Primate of England, Scotland and Ireland, and I have come to represent the Order of Her Sacred Rose."

Hearing of the Bishop's arrival Cait meet his Eminence herself. Welcome my Lord Bishop, it is good to have you return to Castle de Stryke. I hope your journey was without difficulty. We have had quarters prepared for you. Would you like to rest before meeting with the other Orders? I can have one of the servants show you to your rooms and have food and drink sent to you there.

Liam smiled as he saw Her Ladyship herself approach. "My lady, please just call me Liam. Thank you so much for preparing rooms, but I think I will make my way to the conference immediately, if it is no inconvenience - I am think I am already late enough and the journey was not too tiring."

Jasmine arrived to the castle gate. She gave her name and was glad to be accepted soon after.
She found the Knight's conference guest book and decided to sign her name. She dismounted her trusted stallion and let him go then walked up to the gust book.

"Jasmine Badr El Dean, Dame Hospitaller of the Knights of Saint George, Knight of the Crown and one of the Knights of Saint George representatives."

Falcon bows deep and low before the Princess. Welcome to our home Milady, I thank you for gracing our castle. I am not sure if there is a schedule change Milady but let me get you to a room and get you comfortable. I do not have quite as interesting table-fare as you gave me but we can get you fed and maybe a drink while you wait?

I must say I felt like a King at the KoG, I hope our accommodations are fitting for the Princess of Arabia. Falcon announces, Jasmine Badr El Dean, Dame Hospitaller of the Knights of Saint George.

He approaches the Bishop, I don't believe we have met formally sir I am Sir Philip falconfire de Stryke. It is a great pleasure to meet you. I hear you will be traveling with Father Kiane. I had the pleasure to travel with him recently and find him to be a great man as well as a humble man of the cloth. I look for him to do great things.

Falcon turns to his Squire, Audrey could you see that Dame Jasmine is well taken care of. Jasmine this is the best squire a Knight could have I think you will be in good hands,he winks at Audrey. He whispers to her, treat her like a Princess.......she is one, smiling.

Falcon walks over to a battle worn Knight, Sir Enguerrand_de_lazare , greeting Sir it is a great pleasure to make your acquaintance. I see Audrey is getting you accommodations and I look forward to speaking with you at the conference.

Jasmine smiled and curtsied in return, "thank you, M'lord, for your welcome and for the invitation...oh well thank you, I feel comfortable already" She smiled as his warm welcome made her feel a bit more relaxed, "Thank you for that but I am not hungry at all, sir but a drink sound like a good idea.. a long ride always get me a bit thirsty" She giggled softly

She smiled brightly when he mentioned his visit to the KoG, she was glad he enjoyed his time there, "It was a pleasure having you at Wolvesey and I hope you will visit us again whenever you wish.. Thank you, sir Philip. I am sure I will enjoy my stay here and I hope it will be a fruitful one."

Jasmine turned to Audrey and smiled and gave a graceful bow of her head in greeting, "nice to meet you, Audrey.. I am sure I will be. A fine squire of a great knight what more can a person wish for" She grinned and as she knew sir Philip had so much to do she did not wish to keep him any longer so she decided to follow Audrey and leave the lord to his business for now.

Audrey had returned from directing Sir de Lazare to his rooms for the conference, and was following her knight, Sir Falcon. He was making introductions for her and giving her pointers on etiquette in such a formal gathering.
