Cassie looked towards the golem and, uncharacteristically sheepishly, asked "Papa, may I...?" The golem gave her a slight nod. "Permitted."
The widest grin yet spread across the girl's face as she switched to her most (over)dramatic tone "Ok! I command papa to follow.. THAT MAN!!!" Yack nodded and started moving forward. "Oh! Oh! Also, papa should do a little dan-"
"No."
"Aww. Ok papa! Have fun!" Cassie dashed up to take Havarti's hand. Once the duo had moved out of earshot of the unnamed fancy man Cassie moved a bit closer to Havarti and whispered "I accept your deal." She added on a third wink, the least subtle one yet.

The pair moved along the hallway and went into the directed room. It was a well appointed dining hall with a half-length banquet table set up at one end. The spread on the table appeared to be the sort of fare one would serve at a cocktail party, rather than an actual dinner. The other end of the hall seemed to have been cleared out for an entirely different purpose. Large wooden boards were set up against each wall and a quarter of thick ropes were strung across the width of the hall.
Yack's story ceased to be interesting from this point onward.
There were four guests already sat at the banquet table, if you would be so kind as to describe them.

Havarti found her wink funny, as they entered the banquet hall Havarti spotted the four people and two seats next to each other. He pulled out a seat for Cassie to sit in "Here you are Miss Cassie." He waits for her to sit down before pushing in her chair. He chooses the chair next to her and places his cape on the back of the chair, he then sits down and ponders if it would appropriate for him to change into his shifter form at such an event. He looks at the two men across the table, one was a skinny looking male elf with a large brown mustache that Havarti could only describe as WAY too big for the size of his head. The elf was dressed in an... eclectic taste of clothes to say the least. It seems like this man was either bad at fashion, or possibly colorblind.. poor thing. The other was a black wolf shifter, clearly from the ears and teeth, he noticed a smell coming from this man, maybe he had not bathed in awhile... or he just ate something bad but whatever it was he smelled like rotten food. He noted the blood stain that was near the guy's left armpit yet the shirt was not ripped. Did this guy sleep with his dead food? Havarti did not want to ask.

"Thanks!" exclaimed the little girl as she climbed into the seat (she was pretty sure that was the right word?). She giggled when Havarti pushed the seat in for her.
Cassie had been wondering if the pair should sit together, so they could guard each other's flanks, or spread out so it was less obvious they were in a conspiracy. But Havarti seemed to know more about the event so she decided to just play along. She could also understand why he'd put himself between her and the guy on the right side - Havarti was nice like that!
The man on the right side, impeccably dressed right down to his fancy buttons, was currently wiping his forehead with a handkerchief embroidered to a degree that it would draw one's attention without seeming too gaudy. Even his custom chair was gorgeous, the girl currently studying him lacking the knowledge to realize just how much effort must have went into making a wheeled seat that'd fit perfectly in all manners of fancy balls and dinners. The man was sweating profusely, granted, but that was surely just because he weighed over 600 pounds. Cassie was pretty sure of that, she'd seen a 500lb man before and Mr. Buttons definitely had more chins. The most important part of the man, however.. were his eyes. He had the eyes of a killer, no doubt about that. Cassie hoped all social-lights weren't like Mr. Buttons! There wouldn't be any bodies left for her!
The remaining diner, sitting to the left of Cassie, was a lil' old lady with just the sweetest little bag. Cassie didn't have a grandmother herself, but she'd learned about them from some townspeople and this lady was definitely someone's doting grandmother. The grandma, for her part, had been glaring daggers at Mr. Buttons when Cassie and Havarti had first walked into the room. Her countenance had softened considerably since then, however, and she even looked concerned for some reason. She was staring at Cassie's face?
The girl touched her face in confusion. Didn't.. seem like anything was there...?

Havarti looks at Cassie as she touches her face in confusion and then he looks at where she is looking. Ah the old lady looks concerned for Cassie, she seems like a nice old lady. Admittedly Cassie did dress poorly, have scars and runes all over, some metal teeth, and was not well kept. Havarti smiles and pats Cassie on the shoulder. "Do not be concerned Cassie, you look just fine. How about tomorrow we go to the store and get you and papa some new clothes? I think he would find that to be acceptable.

The wolf man piped up at that.
"You gonna get something that ain't furs for yourself as well? You look like you fell through a hunter's shack." he jeered, obviously blind to the irony.
Mr Buttons snorted and dabbed the side of his cheeks, sweat was pooling around his mutton chops.
The elderly dear smiled. "I did not mean to stare. I just wasn't expecting anyone so young to be in attendance. Is the man a relation of yours, dear?" she asked warmly.

Havarti smiles at the Wolf Man holding back a rude comment "Thank you for the advice, I will keep that in mind, Sir..." Havarti taps his chest twice in the area the Wolf Man has the stain. Hoping MAYBE he would get the idea.... probably not though. Havarti turned to the elderly lady and smiled happy at her kindness, " I am simply a friend who is wanting to help, and currently looking after her in the absence of her father figure. He is participating the entertainment for evening. My name is Havarti madam, it is a pleasure to meet you." He bows his head in respect to her, mostly for her age, but also for being so kind to Cassie.

Jones Alex could barely contain himself as he introduced himself to the thin Rapier-armed man at the door.
"This is it. I can finally expose these elite globalist demonspawn! I just have to fight their brainwashed lackeys one more time, just like always!"
"My name is Jones. I'm here for the fight."

"Of course, sir. If you'd like to follow me, a room has been prepared for you and yours to wait for the brawl." the man gestured for Jones to come into the house so that he could shut the door.

Jones steps inside, politely following the gentleman's gesture.
"Aha! My smooth charm has got me inside. These bastards won't know what hit'em! I'll expose them from the inside!"
