He was a bit slow to notice the dynamic shift, and simply gave the paladin a raised eyebrow, before following it with tiniest of shrugs. He would need to ask why later. But it did shift what he was expecting.<br/><br/>So he played his part, polite, respectful, but well aware that he was a beta here. The subtle flirting was nice, and he was just as subtle back, avoiding getting on the Lord's bad side.<br/><br/>He did, however, start placing bets on what was going to happen, chatting with Flitz and making damn sure he was behaving. He was certain a demon infiltrator was already here, Flitz was betting a small roving squad was going to get in. He bet the daughter and lady would flee with the group when it left, Flitz thought the daughter would sneak out to follow and when they tried to return her, they wouldn't be able to get back. He suspected the lady was unhappy because the lord was ignoring her for a younger, more fertile female, Flitz that she was the infiltrator he had guessed was around. And finally, they got to debating who was going to be the first to show up at his room tonight. He guessed the fox, Flitz reasoned one of the two noblewomen, through a secret passage, for illicit lovemaking. He countered that Flitz was listening to too many minstrels.<br/><br/>Still, even with his near constant debate with Flitz, he kept up with the surrounding conversation, used to the distraction.
