"Perhaps." He responded to his older brother, and though their is only the teeniest, tiniest bit of a change in his disposition, something so insignificantly small that most would miss it, his brother, by virtue of being kin and having been around Henrik long enough to know just how subtle his displays of emotion are, should be able to tell that this was in jest.<br/><br/>He seemed much more intently focused on the fool, and the prince and princess and their interactions. Though he could not hear them, he could see the fool's lips moving (at times), and just judging from their actions and body language, he could learn a lot. "The princess seems like our father; absolute antipathy for the fool." He mused, quietly, to his brother.<br/><br/>"I'd be wary of Elise. I have the feeling her mind is as sharp as my blade, and nearly as deadly." He felt the warning prudent. Thus far, of everyone he's met, Gerrard was the most worrisome to him, with the way he's looked at their sister, but Elise's mind and personality (what he's seen of it at least) made her a close second, and the smarter-than-she-appears-to-be fool came in at third on his list of people-to-watch.<br/><br/>Ordinarily, Henrik would not be so quick to be... alert, but being knee-deep in Theiri territory for these peace talks made him understandably skittish. Not that he'd ever let anyone besides Zalania see that or know it.<br/><br/>He would make his way slowly towards the fool and other royalty, his bright, garish attire making him easily stick around. Henrik's attire seemed ill-befitting his usual mood, not to mention it was also too damn  bright and nearly gaudy for what the Aserit might usually wear.  Really, much as he hated it, he wore it so that attention<em>was</em>drawn to him, as he imagined the fool might play pranks on his family. If she did, it would make things even worse here for all involved, unless it was directed to him. He wasn't the king, queen, the prized youngest daughter, or the heir to the throne; targeting him would thus not anger his father nearly as much as anyone else, and he, himself, would let even the most maddening of japes just brush over him, and leave him unperturbed.
