Nathaniel's gaze went from the suggestive halfling to the more uptight looking cleric, rising his brow in curiousity at the mention of a task for the queen. Curious as how these two managed to be able to earn the attention of the queen in the first place. Perhaps the queen was one of those kind that parade around the streets of her city and look over the common folk every now and then. Maybe she has taken an interest in the two after knowing their trade which now he believed to be that of mercenaries. Regardless of how they came upon such circumstances, he was certainly eager to join them in at least holding court with royalty and see what this favor for the queen Lea was talking about; see for himself what the queen was like. One curious thing came to his notice, however. It wasn't that she had her hand on her 'holy symbol' nor on her mace the moment the other drow appeared before all of them, but it was how she called the halfling..something as if compliance. It was weird how Lea just suggests stuff for the cleric to be involved in, but he only figured that to be part of her boldness. No matter, whatever it was, it was probably none of his business anyhow.<br/><br/>It was amusing how the lady Wind reprimanded her apparent guardian, at least someone else cared for proper decorum. Nathaniel could tell that he and Wind could get along just fine. "It was no offense, really. I'm just not accustomed to people appearing from nowhere. Well, at least not in a civilized area such as this tavern." She certainly had her standards up to par for from what he had both noticed and failed to, the drow beggar looked like an able arm to protect the woman with a penchant for obedience. He couldn't say the same for her goblin..entourage as they appeared more like talking pets she kept for amusement rather than practicality.<br/><br/>Soon enough, much to his delight, their meal - more of small banquet - arrived with a good variety along with the bottle of fine wine Lea had requested which he had most graciously provided. A good start in their coming friendship, he figured. It had been long since he kept jovial company such as the four plus the goblins around the table. He wasn't at all surprised at the voracity Lea showed, it was even amusing to watch the small girl gobble every dish at the table while most of them ate significantly little compared to her. Nathaniel himself barely ate as he was quite full before they had arrived, only partaking of the wine which may have helped him enjoy himself even more. And perhaps it was also the wine which he had to thank for the actions of the halfling soon after.<br/><br/>He watched her climb up his legs to sit on his lap, unknown whether she intentionally grazed her breasts along the way or not. Regardless, he didn't need to become inebriated to see lissome appearance of the girl. "Well..I'm not sure about that." he paused, letting his words linger a bit to tease her. "It's probably rude to leave the others here." So he says with apparent hesitation though his slight grin betrayed his words. That and his own actions as he pulled Lea up closer to him so her entire body pressed against himself, feeling more of her small bosom against him; one hand around her waist and the other cupping her rear.<br/><br/>"Then again..you did asked about that bath foremost. Hmm.. Decisions, decisions." Even with talks of rudeness, he didn't particularly cared for how inappropriate they may have looked to the rest at the table, or the entire tavern for that matter.
