Introductory Dinner

He wore his usual. He wasn't here for her affection, he was here for answers so he wasn't going to try and impress her. Besides, what was the point of 'winning her over' if you weren't going to be yourself? So yeah, he followed a butler down wearing his usual garb. The other Skeletons were less than impressed with his choice of wear, especially a certain female head. Noto was actually highly amused. "I'll admit, he knows his comfort zone." Karla gave her husband a withering glare. "Don't give me that." Noto looked to his daughter to see if anyone caught her interest. It seemed not, but she was surveying the crowd. Sans noticed immediately. She didn't even recognize him. He tried not to let it bother him too much. He looked down, hating the blush that was rising in his cheekbones. She was drop dead gorgeous in the dress she was wearing. It fit her bones wonderfully. Sans took his seat as a few more Skeletons came in. Stars, he didn't remember seeing this many Skeletons in the front. As soon as they were all seated, Lord Noto rose to a stand, gaining everyone's attention.

"I'm glad you could all make it. One hundred and fifty bachelor's competing for my daughter's hand. You are all welcome for as long as Zilla wants you here as well as long as you hold to the rules." Some Skeletons exchanged looks, confused. Noto chuckled. "What, you didn't think their wouldn't be rules? There are always rules for things like these. The most important being to respect my daughter and her privacy. If she wants your attention, she will go to you. You are not allowed to touch her during the time of her choosing, if I've heard you've been inappropriate with her, y o u w i l l s u f f e r . You are to respect each other as well, no foul play or you will be disqualified. Naturally respect myself and my wife as well. If you need anything, you all have a personalized maid to assist you. I don't think I can stress respecting privacy enough. There is a nice o'clock curfew. Please be to bed by then and please be up by six at the earliest, nine at the latest. I do believe that is all. Now... enjoy your feast!" Noto sat himself back down as the others started to eat.

The rules made sense, but Noto didn't have to worry about Sans none. He was regretting even coming in the first place. He should've just left it as it was, she didn't even recognize him... "I must apologize for calling you a servant earlier, why don't we all be friends?" Sans could hear the taunt in the Skeleton's voice. "I bet he doesn't even know what this is, this will be the best meals he has before going back to peasant life." Sans sighed, rising slowly as he bowed to Lord Noto. "thank you for the squab, my lord, may i be dismissed to my room?" He wasn't going to take this from a bunch of immature males. "You do not want to speak to Zilla?" Sans smiled. "i do, my lord, but there will be better opportunities that present themselves. i will have my chance." Sans responded. Lord Noto nodded. "Very well then. Yes, you may be dismissed." A maid came to lead Sans away, the Skeleton taking a single glance at Zilla before they left the room. She was watching him with confusion. Had she seen him somewhere before..?
