Xarces cannot help but to chuckle at the things Jaa's would say to him in relation to Hubert, she seeming an awfully lot like Julianna, in his eyes at this very moment. "So you and the harpy share similar view point on the elderly man do you?...His babbling is useless is it?. Is there not knowledge in his words, can the past not repeat itself?"<br/><br/>As the waiter sets the steak down before him he smiles up at them appreciatively "Thank you kind sir." taking a small bite from the meat to smile "Tell the chef they have done a marvelous job." he would inform the waiter before returning his attention on the merwoman sat across from him.<br/><br/>"A pet hmm?" Xarces would muse at first, nodding his head as he continues to listen to her. "Indeed you would certainly draw much attention, what with my wings, affinity for fire, enhanced strength and all, surely the other members of royalty would look upon you with envy. Certainly having such a being under your control would serve as a symbol of your own strength...." Xarces continues to speak on the matter making sure to make it sound enticing to the merwoman across from him. Xarces falling silent simply smirking as the queen would raise her eyebrow, telling him to get over himself. "Get over yourself hmm, yes that is very good advice now is it not. For I doubt either of us truly know what the other is capable of, now do we?" he poses the question to her while leaning over the table.<br/><br/>One thing that the queen may notices is that despite all of the hurtful things she had said to him, things that would surely damage the bride of any other would be lover, Xarces seemed completely unphased by it  He would proceed to take several bites of his steak as she speaks of her inability to find anyone worthy of her. "Weak hmmmm?, pathetic am I? Yes, clearly only weak and pathetic men would be so brass as to even entertain the idea of asking you to dinner. Of course, only a weak and pathetic being could survive on their own for their entire life, could tread where no mortal being has stepped foot in over a millennia. I can see how you would think such a thing." Xarces talking casually smirking knowingly the entire time.<br/><br/>He pausing for a moment taking a small breath before flipping down his hood completely, revealing his handsome face, piercing cyan eyes, ram-like horns and mid length messy hair. "Lets cut the bull shit shall we. I've dealt with your type before, I've chatted with my fair share of royalty, have done their dirty work, Slain monsters on their behalf, Why I have even assassinated my fair share, stolen from others....Their power is relative, where they left with no one to rule, where they left to wander the earth alone as I, how powerful would they truly be? How long would they actually last?......" Xarces reciting these deeds as if they where little more then a grocery list to him." He pausing raising up from his seat to look the queen directly in the eyes. "I've traveled the globe, have seen my share of beauty Ma'am, Yet I, like you have yet to find anyone who can truly conquer my heart. I admit, you...you are something different, I have not met a being that has made me act so irrationally before in all of my years....your beauty truly is unmatched......" He would then grin regaining his motivation before continuing with his speech. "You say you seek a lover who matches you both equally in physical attraction and strength of character, I'll do you one better, I already posses the looks no doubt as any damsel shall certainly tell. I offer you a challenge, one night, one task." He pausing to ensure that she was following him. "Give me the chance to prove you wrong, to prove myself in your eye. Give me a task, any task no matter how impossible it may seem, I guarantee I shall see that it is completed. Furthermore, give me one night, one night of passion, and I shall bestow upon you unearthly pleasures like you have never imagined. Name your wildest fantasy and I shall make it happen." His forked tongue flicking out as he stares unblinkingly into her eyes, allowing the gravity of his offer to settle in. "If I am as pathetic as you seem to believe then what do you have to lose? Surely nothing at all.....Should I fail then I shall become your property, you pet, to do with as you see fit, no questions asked, should I perish well then you have lost nothing......Should I prove myself however....well we shall cross that bridge when we come to it, after all  there is no guarantee that I shall still be interested, but at the very least you shall know what you could have had." he leaving a hint of irony as to the possibility that perhaps in the end it would be she who was not worthy of him<br/><br/>Xarces returning to his seat as if nothing had happened, resting an arm casually upon the table. "Think on it my queen, think on it. But for now, I believe you have a city to tell me about." he concludes with a confident smile, returning to his attention to his steak.
