Patience was a virtue, they say, and he had been waiting for just this moment. His eyes focused on Olivia as she stood up, and began to walk, but he quickly seemed to lose interest in her when she actually was moving, instead focusing on the hulking brute that was the Nydewian king.<br/><br/>When Olivia had left, he slowly stood up, and bowed his head towards the queen. "If I may be excused as well." He would make a slight gesture towards Zalania, a quick lowering of his hand at an angle; a silent command to her to maintain her presence in the hall, and to not follow him. He did not need her with what he was doing; nor did he need his sword, which he knew Zalania would not allow to be touched.<br/><br/>He followed after Olivia, and while doubtlessly some would know it--those who knew him, particularly-- some would find it coincidental. His movements were quiet, and measured, each step seemingly taken in as efficient a manner as is possible to get him to his destination.<br/><br/>Once outside, he would watch her, approaching slowly, keeping quiet. He would pause about a foot away from her. "It's a beautiful evening out, is it not? I imagine rain is a rare treat in the desert, is it not, Miss Wilde?" His voice remained as it had been in the hall; like a chilled dagger gently pressed against ones flesh. Cold, dead; deadly.<br/><br/>"I suppose I may have you at a disadvantage, much like the queen has my family at the moment." He spoke in a manner that would seem casual, if not for his lack of emotion. Their's no suppression of feeling here, no faking it, no hiding it; it just isn't there. He's hollow, and empty, which was off-putting to most. "I am Henrik. I imagine my name alone should suffice in enlightening you as to who I am."<br/><br/>Without a pause, he continued. "You strike me as one with a strong mind.  Perhaps I am being a bit too forward, but if it pleases you, I would like to meet with you at some point tonight or tomorrow. Their are things I wish to discuss with you, and the banquet is hardly the place for it."
