No one would ever refute that Sanguine had killed many people. Some took careful planning and practice, detail oriented, almost obsessive organization and forethought; then there were others that only needed him to give them enough rope to hang themselves with. Zyel, on the other hand, was a different sort all together. The young, Gypsy leader had apparently brought his own rope, and tied the noose tightly before hanging himself before the royal families of two kingdoms.<br/><br/>All Sanguine had to do was not cut him down.<br/><br/>"I'll drink to his dead friends as well." San muttered through a half smile, lifting his glass to his lips. "Full of zeal, passion, emotion and enthusiasm. Devoid of forethough, patience or restraint. Such is the Gypsy way."<br/><br/>Sanguine drank long and deep from his glass of wine. Hoping that eventually Prince Henrik and Princess Juli would toast as well to their shared sorrow. It was then that Lenally mentioned keeping Eyes with her through the meal.<br/><br/>"Yes of course, Princess Lenally. Eyes seems to like you very much. If you slip her some bread or meat from time to time you'll have no better friend in the world." San smiled, breaking a warm roll in half and slipping it under the table to his wolf. "If your brother approves, I would also be glad to take you on a tour of the city proper. Outside of these ominous castle walls."<br/><br/>It was then that Erin struck up the band and the show began. San couldn't help but laugh as Lady Fool selected Prince Henrik to assist with her show. She could not have chosen a more hesitant volunteer, but San recognized it as a politically motivated stunt. Though both he and Erin desired war between the nations, both were equally determined to appear helpful in the overall process.<br/><br/>"Go on, Dear Prince. I have no doubt you will enjoy yourself." San laughed while pouring another glass of wine.<br/><br/>The night was still young and there were still lives to steal, but for now wine was a suitable substitute for blood; and entertainment a welcome diversion from combat.<br/><br/>"Tell me, Lenally. Have you ever heard the tales of King Haidar of the Rampage?" Sanguine asked the younger princess eagerly.
