He simply listened with a slowly tightening grip on his sanity, cause clearly he was utterly insane.<em>Sapphire, love, please, please, PLEASE tell me you are just screwing around with my head again. Please? Cause I already can tell how this is going to work out. Damned if I accept, cause you, Meridia, and the others are going to murder me for adding another woman to this slowly growing harem, and damned if I don't, cause the Queen will most definitely NOT murder me, just hand whatever is left to the Grand Duchess here to finish off.</em><br/><br/>He could already feel the Queen's, and likely the Princess' as well, smugness when they found out, if they didn't already know. And he already knew what both of them would say. Claim her, and then alter her if she wasn't to his liking. And dammit, she was not unattractive either, and was smart enough that having her around would be a refreshing change to the other wall flowers he had. "Put that way, I can understand your interest, enthusiasm and haste then."<br/><br/>And considering that refusing her would lead to a massive line of other dwarf women trying to claim him, accepting her would likely be... prudent and wise. "Very well, I am honored by your offer, and gratefully accept."
