Irovetti seemed a bit surprised to not see the centaur with them, but covered his surprise quickly enough, with being charming, immediately beginning to flirt with Korima, who seemed to take the cue and began flirting back. While he didn't touch on the topic of the rules exemption, it was clear what his intentions were, and as the pleasant dinner wound down, he'd offer one, or even both of them, to join him for the night - and unless Devaguea hinted to Korima that she shouldn't accept, the sly kitsune would take up the offer - and report back the next morning that Cynthia was approved to compete in the joust, though with the stipulation that she'd both carry a fake 'rider', that would be enchanted to function much like a real one, and that her lance would be shortened, to account for the fact that she was striking from closer to the opponent, than the opponent would be striking her target. They would, of course, arrange for several practice bouts, to let them both test and agree to the new rules, making sure that it was fair as far as both parties were concerned - after all, her safety was important, and she was far more likely to be injured than knocked over, if they allowed the other competitor to strike her!
