He couldn't help but stare, taking in the details of his form. He seemed so impassive, holding an air of confidence that seemed to affect him even across the room. How had he not noticed his grace the moment he had stepped foot within these walls? Looking away abruptly, realizing how gross an infringement it would be to take liberties with his majesty by staring. He instead concentrated his gaze elsewhere, letting the shock subside over the course of the moment.
He would have to say something to save himself from this awkwardness. His eyes flicked up momentarily to the Regent, "Ah, how splendid," his voice still somewhat shaken. "To finally see our supreme sovereign in the flesh. How impressive he is, making even his casual attire seem somehow all the more stately." As was true.
