Suddenly the delicious morsels of food lost it's tantalizing taste and it felt as though Rohwik was suddenly swallowing stones. His eyes sunk to his plate and didn't move from them until he was one of the few left at the table. He would be wallowing in this guilt for a while. Rohwik generally had a loosely hinged jaw and he rarely monitored what it was that came out, but he never meant to offend anyone. Quite contrary, he was almost excited over the news of a wedding. He had, personally, never attended one and was delighted to believe that Lhurriel was betrothed to a seemingly well-deserved man like Lord Atadel.<br/><br/>"Honestly Rohwik." Tolan sighed as he stood from his seat, "Perhaps it would be best to hold back on such leaps of faith until we've come to know our companions a bit more than a day or so."<br/>"..." Rohwik really had no retort to Tolans words, looking away quite sheepishly as he and the others departed.<br/><br/>Feeling the sudden cage of tension around him, he offered the servants his assistance, hoping they would allow it in sympathy for his situation.<br/><br/>Kaeden had found it quite unusual that the idea of social class would be the first thing to building the barrier between him and Lhurriel. It wasn't a reason he didn't approve of personally, but it was not his place to speak of it. It was Atadel's home and Rohwik had overstepped his boundaries, even if he hadn't meant to. There was no reason for Alydarr to come to his companion's aid. The bite was earned and Kaeden believed in proper discipline. Kaeden had managed to pull Lhurriel aside - though he wouldn't come to his soldier's rescue under the stabbing gaze of Corsair, he wouldn't leave him stranded in the water. He was responsible for his men's actions, after all.<br/><br/>"Lhurriel.." Kae sighed softly, "I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. Rohwik can be a bit of a loose cannon at times and tends to say things he truly doesn't intend to be so insulting. He meant well..."<br/><br/>Kae's eyes wandered, finding it somewhat difficult to look at Lhurriel straight in the eye. Everytime he tried he would lose his words and forget what he was saying completely. He knew it was a bit rude not to look to her as he spoke, but he wouldn't get a word out otherwise. None coherent, anyway.<br/><br/>"But his actions shouldn't go without reprimand, I assure you. I will have a word with him personally." Though, he should probably attempt to get an apology to Lord Corsair as well.
