He raised his brow and hesitated at the obvious show of civility as she extended her hand. Either he was wrong about her being arrogant, though evidence pointed elsewhere and he was rarely wrong about people, or she was just going through the motions. Before he could actually take her hand in return she pulled her hand back and he had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. As impatient as she was probably arrogant, he barely had a chance to even take her hand, probably too used to people who knew of her chosen profession not trusting her being close to them. Not that he blamed them, the Thieves Guild wouldn't be so insulting as to send them some pissant of a thief, and he had a feeling she could steal your good sense with a bat of her eyes.<br/><br/>He chuckled, "says the one who waited a whole 3 seconds for someone to return the handshake. One is hesitant to make physical contact with one who of your...talents. I'm sure you should be used to that by now. Anymore than you would be willing right off the bat to turn your back on me or accept any food or drink from me."<br/><br/>Which was a valid enough fear when one thought about it, he might have a whole lot of talent for Enchanting, but he was an adept hand at Alchemy and found a zeal in himself for the skill over time. He could just as soon whip up a healing or curing potion as he could a debilitating poison for the blade or one's drink. He was getting quite good at it as of late and he couldn't blame those who knew of both his hobby and his profession outside of his family from being leery of such things around him. He really was a conniving and tricky son of a whore.<br/><br/>His eyes glittered from over the cup, "which of course excludes the common courtesy of offering you a drink, so I'll pass over that one as well. But as for my name? You can call me Memnoch, names are fleeting and ever changing when it comes to my profession, but that is one that can stay for the long term."<br/><br/>He took another deep drink, tapping his other fingers on the table idly, "now were you told anything about this? I was only told to meet up with you, get acquanted and make nice for a time until we get an actual...well work that is."
