Even though the Joker had not asked for a banquet in his honor—it didn't mean that he did not appreciate one. His work was often resented by the Royals of the Four Kingdoms, and to now have time to be respected for it was a pleasant change. The man was seated on the most forefront of seats by himself and could see the entire guests along the sides of the table. On his right side, he watched the King of Hearts struggle to keep up with appearances.
Alexander Hartsmichdt held a wine glass.
" ...and it is with great relish that I announce that this banquet tonight is held with the success of the Gathering of Suits—which I sincerely express my gratitude to the Kings, Queens, and Delegates who have joined us. But not only that, we give our respects to our unexpected guest of honor. We are quite… fortunate to have this man accompanying us tonight, and it is a privilege to have the Joker stay with us."
