--- Kat ---
A man they hadn't noticed stepped out from behind a curtain at the back of the room and yelled. "All kneel before the Great King, Gravel Second of his name." Kat had a moment of hesitation at that request but Hedera moved instantly to her knees and Kat wasn't going to be the only one left standing. The guards went down to a knee for a few seconds before returning to a standing position. Some of the guard mob exited back out of the door, while a good chunk of the rest pushed themselves up against the walls.
Five remained in the centre. Two on either side watching Kat and Hedera, while the guard with the feathered cap stood ahead of them and slightly off to the side so that he wasn't blocking the line of sight they had with the King. Gravel was still small, or at least, small for his outfit and being regally announced hadn't changed anything… and when he stood up it probably got worse.
