Dimitri rarely travelled on horse within his city. He liked to be seen as first among equals among his people though he considered himself higher than this. He wore a great dark cloak lined with warg fur with a collar that went above his head and framed it against the setting sun. The attire under it consisted of his armour and a white cravta tightly higging the skin below the armour, a pair of dark military boots finished his ensemble.
Around him walked a number of his personal guards, white owls emblazoned on their sheilds and spears held aloft. He wanted to be noticed after all. His great purple cloak with his family insignia attached to his coat also aided him in this regard. He felt safe in the city now, there was nothing the Thane could do to him, and the Empire would not risk it now.
He spied Anora a little way off and smile gently, he felt the cold air on his lips and it tickled his teeth as he smiled. Silently he closed his mouth and quickened his pace a little as light snow began to fall about him.
"Serale songbird." He said as he moved through the snow that now was beginning to make visibility difficult. In a moment his hand was in hers and he was continuing to walk making sure she came along. In a moment one of the guards had a great parasol up blocking the snow from falling on thw two of them.
As he walked he spoke slowly and carefully, "You look very pretty today, how was work?"
