"You've hardly overstepped yourself. In truth, I'm glad you joined us." As always, even the usually infallible senses of the blind killer would be left confused by Henrik's totally blank voice. Was their a hint of sincerity, genuineness, there? Or perhaps it was just imagined.<br/><br/>Really, Henrik was glad to have him out in the open, rather than skulking around. Easier to keep tabs on him, as he was prone to do with any hired help. Henrik's trust, when he gives it, is generally a short leash.<br/><br/>"We are both responsible for the death of loyal, proud warriors, Princess Juli." He nods his head, interjecting when the opportunity presents itself.  "Such a conversation, however, would best be saved for times that are more... agreeable." He was quiet for a moment, before, suddenly, an unrelated question! "Perhaps during our visit, you will indulge me in a game of chess,  Princess?"<br/><br/>And just as that last word left his lips, he saw the gypsy's movement. Little tended to escape Henrik's notice, especially when he was as wary as he was.<em>Oh, come on! This whole accursed stay is turning into a nightmare.</em>he thought to himself.<br/><br/>"So I've noticed, Sanguine." He would respond, seemingly unperturbed, even as his mind was reeling.  " Their's a time and place for everything, however. Now, especially during<span class="bbc_u"><strong>peace</strong></span>talks,  is not the time for conflict. Nor is this the place." He would not deny Sanguine the right to go after the Gypsy, but for diplomatic reasons, he<em>had</em>to caution him against it.
