With her arms still crossed over her chest, Hani looked every inch the offended maiden. Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears. Angrilly she wiped them away and listened to Doryn try to explain. Then she waited for the apology. Surely he intended on telling her how sorry he was for his behavior? And he owed Mercy an apology as well. Hani tilted her head and stared at Doryn as he suddenly looked embarassed! She had to fight the twitch on her lips as he described the dancing in the North as some kind of foreplay. She blinked as he called the Southern dances perverse. Still she waited as he stood there looking like he now wanted the floor to open up and swallow him.<br/><br/>She was about to say something, when Ethirdir stepped forward and started apologising for asking her to dance in the first place. Before she dealt with Doryn, she needed to reassure the Elf. "It is not your fault whatsoever! All you could see was the same I was experiencing! How were you to know Doryn would suddenly decide to be jealous? It was a game we played. He flirts a little, I flirt a little. No one is taking it seriously!" Hani moved to the Elf and took his slender hands in hers. "You are a marvelous dancer and I was enjoying the whole thing...until Doryn decided to drag Mercy into the show. Honestly, you did nothing wrong! As far as our business dealings, we will do that, have no doubt I will be here tomorrow so you can escort me to your place of business. I am sure that Doryn is not going to send one of his minions to spy on me." She glared at Doryn pointedly.<br/><br/>At the entrance to the private room, another serving girl poked her head in. "Are you done with the table upstairs so we can clear it? I can bring your wine down here if you prefer?" It became clear that Mercy was not about to show her face to them again tonight, and Hani did not blame her.<br/><br/>"Bring it down here and we will keep this private. I have a few things to work out with the Captain. I am not sure there is much wine left in the bottle anyway." Hani told the girl. Then she turned back to Doryn.<br/><br/>"I think Ethirdir's invitation is a marvelous idea! I like the thought of all of us having some fun together. There is no need for jealousy amongst friends, don't you agree?" She was still holding the Elf's hands. If this was going to get Doryn angry or jealous, she was just waiting for it, so she could tell him in no uncertain terms, she did not 'belong' to anyone but herself. If he did not apologise really soon, she would not be doing much flirting anymore. It irked her that he did not see how this culture clash was affecting them all.
