Bold and Reckless.<br/><br/>They were words that had been used to describe the young Captain before, and Doryn didn't miss the vague implied threat in the Baron's note about 'men like you don't often live long.' Though it certainly wasn't a direct threat for all that the Knight-Captain was sure that it<em>was</em>a threat. Still, while the Northerner was fairly sure that the Baron wasn't entirely fooled by his charade, he still couldn't resist the urge to bandy wits with the scourge of the cities underworld.<br/><br/>Pride...<br/><br/>...it'd been the end of mightier men than the 'good' Baron..<br/><br/>"Hah, aye, you might be right about that," he says, shrugging a bit, not seeming to care about the risk nor giving any suggestion that he'd noticed the implied threat. "Even so, I think there's a certain amount of grace in knowing the right people-- and your own limitations,- wouldn't you agree? As for the other, aye, I know where to find you and I'll see about getting you what you're looking for. I dare say my running into you here will be quite the windfall for my career in this city."<br/><br/>As the Baron rises and gets ready to make his retreat,-- paying for the wine and asking Doryn to bring it,- the Knight-Captain just nods slightly.<br/><br/>Then, the man was gone, and-- Doryn's demeanor doesn't particularly change in any patricular,- no the Knight-Captain continues with the same seeming that he'd had before. He takes his drink when Charley arrives with it and has the man stow away the Baron's wine, noting that he'd be taking it with him when he left, enjoying an evening. The only sign he gives, in point of fact, is a subtle shaking of his head to Ethirdir when he haphazardly notices a bit of attention from the Elf.<br/><br/>The Baron almost certainly has men, or at least a man, keeping an eye on things.<br/><br/>So...<br/><br/>Doryn remains in the Inne's common room, entertaining himself for a bit longer at the very least, before he eventually rises up and grabs a certain barmaid by the arm. The fact that it's Mercedes is surely just a coincidence, and indeed, the drunk old Northerner gives no especial sign that he knows WHO he's pestering as he grabs the young woman. "Ah, my lovely, could you be a dear and pass on to Hani that I'm going to have to catch up with her a bit later. I've just had something come up that I must attend to right away. I think I saw her with... that Elf.. whom you can simply tell,--<acronym title="May your home, shelter and--">'Aek un ush, hi'devihr--'</acronym>Ah, nevermind... I'll tell him myself. I'm not even sure if he speaks the Northern tongue."<br/><br/>With that, and grabbing his wine, Doryn makes his leave of the Dewdrop...<br/><br/>...leaving with some help from one of his Lieutenants, and accompanying a patrol of Guards, who tend to their slightly drunk Superior.<br/><br/>(It's only, oh, 30-minutes or so<em>after</em>Doryn leaves that the first of the deliveries come. A young man, bearing flowers, who delivers them to the Bar- directly to Mercedes,-- followed only a bit later by a delivery to Hani of an identical arrangement. The flowers that come<em>after</em>that, though, are different... and they don't stop coming.. not for hours. There's at least a few flowers for every woman that works at the Dew Drop, and some wine an treats as well in smaller numbers, a veritable deluge of gifts that doesn't stop until the bar itself is looking closer to a flower garden than a mead hall. Hell, Hani's father even gets a delivery of the wine that Doryn provides to the establishment, the paperwork for which was lost and no, they can't possibly accept payment, he'll just have to keep that shipment while they work this out...)<br/><br/>It's a shame, really, Doryn had really rather hoped that he'd be there during all of this chaos...<br/><br/>...if nothing else, he expects that-- without him there to be berated for making a scene,- he'll end up having to apologize for his apology.<br/><br/>This, though, this was far more important.<br/><br/>He just hoped that Ethirdir got his message, and understood that Doryn would meet him and Hani at his house, later in the evening. First, though, Doryn had to check on something.
