Coronation Party [Open]
Who: Elizabeth Tudor, Arthur Pendragon and you!
What: Coronation Party Times!
When: 17th of November, evening.backdated shhh~
Where: The Ballroom.
Rating: PG.
[The ballroom has been briefly transformed, or something like that. At least enough to Elizabeth's tastes and she had no issue at all using the ghosts if it got her what she wanted, in red and gold. A table of food and drink has been set up on one side of the room, wine aplenty of course, and in the middle of the table is the cake made by Ino. There's tables and chairs around the room, and the doors are open to the balcony, so guests can go out there for air as well. Somewhere softly behind all that, there is music playing. It's a light heart-ed celebration, but that is all that is really wanted.]

Right...[a pause] Well, what would you do if you didn't have to attend this sort of gathering for those other reasons?
no subject
[It's not really accusing, even if it's disbelieving around the edges. He hasn't exactly been here long enough to understand some of the hindrances, though. So as a number alone, it sounds pathetic]
I'm not certain. It's not really appropriate for me to...Mourn my father, any longer.
[He gets the night of his death, before his coronation to do that, and no more. A King can't be held to that sort of past, to be weak] I suppose, however, that I am not entirely opposed to reflection.

[Yes, he's very well aware of how pathetic it sounds, but it's the truth. Any new person will learn that soon enough. As for the second part, he stops himself short from scoffing. He pauses, thinking of how to phrase the words]
If I may say so...that's rubbish. I mean...I understand needing to present yourself as strong to your people. You're their King, after all. But privately...
[he shakes his head] If you wish to take a night to yourself to reflect or mourn your father around the anniversary...I see nothing wrong with that.
