He couldn't help it as Elwyrr accused, railed, snarled, and cursed at him. He started chuckling. Before long, it was bad enough he was shaking with laughter, before he doubled over laughing. "Yes, yes I did. Though if a more... notable personage had come forward, I might not have. Sadly, no one did. My liege?"<br/><br/>He stepped aside in case the Queen wished to make a comment, or promote Elwyrr from 'common' to 'noble' Fae, though she might wait until he had succeeded for that. Once she had made her comments, or declined to, he gestured for Elwyrr to come with him, and headed for the house, Blossom and Flute probably beating them both there. He waited until they were clear of the Court before speaking. "In my defense, this is actually meant to help you, not slight you. This gets you landed, and if you are successful you go from merely having my voiced support to having actual proof of your ability to handle the Summer Knight position. Also, I am going to not just throw you out there, but give you support and supplies.<br/><br/>If you still want to make me pay later, ensure it is for the right thing. Now, everyone is wondering whether I am thanking you or exiling you, and that is good. The Knight needs to be a force of uncertainty to most of the Court, so play this however you want."
