(( I like that rule ^_^, and on a side note welcome letsgowiththat :3 ))<br/><br/>Xarces would only smile to the Harpy as the woman's saliva impacts against his face as a localized wet heat which quickly dribbles down his cheek. The words she spoke to him would likely send shivers of dread down the spine of many a man. Xarces however would only continue to smile, nodding his head respectfully many snide and sexual comebacks running through his mind, though he pushes them aside, instead choosing to hold his tongue, simply stating in a respectful manner "Perhaps someday my queen, you shall have that privilege." he letting her know that she had not likely seen the last of him, as she would turn to leave. (Well I think that went rather well.) he thinks to himself as he dabs the saliva from his face with his sleeve. He content that he was able to make an impression upon the young queen, an impression that perhaps not the one he would ultimately strive to make, but it was a start and it was nevertheless impactful and would hopefully not soon be forgotten, and all the while hiding behind the guise of his heavy cloak, for all she knew he was but an average man with an insurmountable amount of courage.<br/><br/>Xarces would then turn to head back over to Hubert's side, having only had time to briefly check on him during the interruption from the other royalty. Xarces' mind wandering on the subject of Julianna (Such a fiery, and ill tempered woman she seems to be......I wonder what troubles her, what secrets she could possibly harbor....) Xarces often looking for the good in even the most foul of people, as he himself was very familiar with the concept of being there being good in the hearts of even the most darkest of creatures.<br/><br/>While making his way to Hubert, he intentionally would take a round about way just so that he passes by the dragon and merewoman who seemed to be having their own discussion. He looks to them and nods respectfully in passing resisting the urge to say 'Your welcome', in relation to his own contributions to keep the peace here today.<br/><br/>Afterwards Xarces finally arrives at Huberts side once more. Finding that he was already being tended to by two women, the first Xarces recognized as one of the three who had come out of the meeting hall, the woman who had remained silent during the outburst. The second a tigress, he had recalled seeing amidst the crowd that was gathered around him. "Well? how's he holding up?" Xarces asks "I do hope I wasn't too late." he adds remorsefully as he looks down upon the elderly man with concern.
