Offering a respectful nod in return to the water being offered, the butler placed the empty glass of mead back on the counter. He took a small sip from the cup and looked across at Arcturus as the knight spoke.

"Perhaps that is the case. Perhaps not. Though my dreams have since moved on from that ambition. I take pride in who I am today, rest assured. As we all should. Knighthood could not possibly bring me the same satisfaction. Once I have found a new Master or Mistress, there will truly be nothing to compare."

He leaned back on the stool and took another drink of water. Satisfied by the thought. 

"What do you think you would have done if knighthood hadn't been your career path?"

*Arcturus would cross his arms beginning to think. It was clear to Dandy this question struck deep to Arcturus, and that it was not a clean cut answer. Throughout his life Arcturus had always been on this path, and while he has had thoughts about deviations, never had he really considered them.*

"I suppose that creates two questions. As an Aasimar it was my destiny to work towards Justice of this world. Perhaps if not a knight I may have become a politican, or one of those rangars you see roaming around. If I wasn't an Aasimar though, I probably would have become a miner like my father."

The Dragonborn uncrossed his legs and smirked. A pragmatic answer to be sure, accounting for such speculation. Certainly he had found fun company for his short little excursion. He stood from his position at the counter. Quickly finishing the water that had been given to him.

"Ah-. A wonderful response. Grounded and confident. Traits I find most amiable..." The bright yellow Dragonborn let his expression fall to a neutral position and he offered a bow of respect to the knight. "I thank you for such rousing talk, but I'm afraid our pleasant bout of conversation ends here, good Sir Arcturus. My travels leave me little time for rest, you see. Though a drink and a worthy mind to banter with make them so much more enjoyable."

He rose back to his full height. Placing a hand gently upon his chest.

"I do hope you'll accept my apologies for the abruptness, but I haven't forgotten you're waiting to meet someone here and I would hate to scare them off." His hand fell back to his side. "And I need to get myself sobered up with some fresh air before I take my leave again soon."
Edward
"Of course Dandy." 

*Arcturus would say, rising to meet the Dragonborn. As he bowed, Arcturus would wave it off offering him a hand instead. The Dragonborn had kept him good company here at the tavern, and he was appreciative of the kind words and stories he had shared tonight.*

"It has been a pleasure Dandy. I wish you well and with good luck in your travels. I'm certain you will find the right person soon, and I look forward to running into you again."
Martin
Dandy accepted the Aasimar's hand with a gentle grip. Shaking hands with enthusiasm. He reached into a pocket in his vest using his opposite hand and removed a small paper leaflet. Placing it into the palm of the knight as his main hand retracted.

"A pleasure indeed. I'm going to make one small final request, Sir Knight. Keep me in mind. If you see someone I may be interested in, perhaps let me know when our paths next cross. Good tidings to yourself and your company."

With a swift pivot, he turned and began to walk out. His motor functions were not yet inhibited by drink, so his exit was clean and graceful. He pulled open the door and stepped out into the afternoon sun with a deep inhale. Disappearing as the heavy wooden door shut behind him with a dull **Whump** As it knocked into the padded frame.
