Gareth chuckled a bit as he folded his arms across his chest, noting Anel's hesitation in speaking to him as he descended back down the staircase. He figured he had perhaps forgotten his name, but he wasn't terribly offended. He knew Anel saw many others aside from him, and Gareth certainly didn't remember the names of<em>everyone</em>he worked with. He inclined his head slightly, his eyes drifting over Anel slowly before returning back up to his face, quiet for a moment. The music that had been playing when he'd first entered had stopped, but he only barely noticed it.<br/><br/>"Apology accepted, Anel... and yes, I suppose some time could be saved if you just took them off," Gareth said with a slight grin, his eyes drifting away from the young courtesan for a moment to rest his gaze upon Zara and her potential customer. He'd been briefly considering treating himself to two Teahouse employees at once, but the only other whore he could see currently seemed to be indisposed. His eyes returned to Anel as the boy seemed to be pulling out all the stops to get his patronage, and he chuckled softly again, his grin getting wider as the courtesan finally recalled his name.<br/><br/>"Ah, you finally remembered," He teased as he approached the base of the stairs, one hand reaching out to caress at the banister suggestively. "Quick. What's my first name? If you can remember, maybe I'll reward you."
