Thaddeus continued to smile. This man was already an interesting creature. When he took Thaddeus' hand, the king felt the ages behind this man. He was old. Not in a bad way, though. The newcomer had years and wisdom of those years behind him. Much older than the other three guests in his palace. At least, that was how it felt.
"And my thanks to you," he said in return to the man's compliment, "And yes, you would be correct to say that. I am King Thaddeus LeDroll. And you, good sir?" he asked, leading to man out of the main hall to a warmer place where he could thaw out. The earth element wasn't made to freeze.
It was a very short walk from the main hall to the lounge. In this time, the king took in the looks of his new guest. His hair was a sort of bold, rusty-red. His eyes were a light blue and his not pale, but not quite tan. He looked strong, but then again, the gigantic coat was getting in Thaddeus' way of seeing truly the rest of this man's features. I'll just have to wait, then. he thought and he opened the door to the lounge.
The lounge Thaddeus led this man into was very earthy in color. Golds, greens, and browns. Of all shades and colors. The furniture was lower to the ground, and the fireplace was small but hot. Thaddeus showed the man over to one of the seats closer to the fire. There were four chairs in the room, all facing the fire, with a small and round coffee table between them and the fire.
