Erin Osman had originally booked the week for her and the current boyfriend to attend the festival. Two days before they were due to fly out however he'd twisted his knee playing rugby for Keepton and now was forced to rehab. This meant Erin had drafted in her friend
Sally Jones. The pair had become friends after Erin's stint on EMTV as one of their talk show hosts. Sally had jumped at the chance to come, it all had looked rather exciting and it was well known Erin had access to some of the best parties. They'd taken the OsmanTech private jet to Buena Fe and having passed through passport control they found Patricio Paredes. "Hi. I've a suite booked at your hotel. Erin Osman."
Meanwhile across at the diplomatic side of things
Archduchess Sophie Harrison-Ironside was attending. She'd got two weeks leave from the Air Force and her uncle, King David, had hoped that the trip to Beuna Fe would act not just as some kind of diplomatic introduction between the two nations but would also give her a well needed break. Normally she would have brought with her Rollo MacAllister, her boyfriend, however he was busy preparing for the Mundus Games and so instead she'd brought along with her
Hope Meadows. She was a pilot in the "Flying Can Openers" and the pair had become friends during time at REMAF Northfort where they'd both been based. Hope was a little nervous about the trip, she wasn't a royal and had no experience in this kind of thing. She was there just to keep Sophie company and so as they meet Duke Narcisco took a backwards step.
"Duke Narcisco its nice to meet you." Sophie said with a small respectful bow.
