Riccardo had his marching orders. Antonin had asked of him to go to Vasile for various business reasons, and Riccardo agreed. He hadn't ever ventured so far from home before, but was not deterred by that fact. Business, he reasoned, would hold the same premise in Vasile as it did in Catanara, minus some regional differences. He understood the business his family dealt in, and all he needed to do was translate that to the locals in Vasile, and see if they were interested.
As for the general socializing that was to come, Riccardo was mentally bracing himself to it. He had no problem, of course, saying nice things, dancing, drinking, chattering, laughing and sharing time with others. Generally, he rather enjoyed being around people, drawing energy from their company, having more patience for it than some others. However there would be a lot of it, and with a lot of people he didn't recognize, which he would be doing mostly on his own. Oh, no doubt, he would make friends and he expected that the Royal party would greet his arrival as it was arranged by Antonin.
Before leaving, which would be first light the following morning, he had to be sure to say farewell to his siblings and those few others he counted as friends. He wasn't likely to be back any time soon, and would miss them, but was aiming to return with the royal delegation before yule. For now, he hung around the communal room in their Lavender Quarter home, waiting to see who was about. Since the arrangements had just been confirmed, Riccardo couldn't be sure who did or didn't know.
