"I treat the Heroes well because I see it as my duty, Fjorm." Said Kiran, the mere shadow of a frown crossing his face. "Because I brought them here. Away from families, from their homes they've known their entire life. Least I can do is treat them like the royalty they sometimes are. That being said..." He smiled again. "I do like that you, unlike others, appreciate my sense of duty." He shook his head at her next comment. "Handsome? No. Actually, where I come from, I make average guys look extraordinary. Are you sure it's not just the gun and the cloak?"<br/><br/>He caught Haru in the middle of his gagging and coughing, and put two and two together. He didn't say anything, though, as he didn't want to embarass him too much more. He’d have wished the same thing for himself if the roles were reversed, and he respected Haru’s wish for anonymity. He then responded to him by saying, “I completely agree. All should have the right to choose their own path in life, especially when it comes to one’s love life.”<br/><br/>He coughed himself and said, “So, Fjorm, have you heard anything from Bruno about how<i>he</i>feels about all this? Or from Veronica? Seems she might have a buttload to say about this happening...” Now, after another glass of wine, as there was no more of the sparkling product, he finally realized the amount of exposure the Princess had begun to let slip; the girl was practically naked! Had he not consumed that last glass, he would have told her so. But he had, so he let it slide, also letting his eyes roam freely about her nearly naked form... no, her naked Fjorm...! He chuckled aloud at his own joke.<br/>{Perfect place for a slip-in character, I think!}
